The His Dark Lessons Soundtrack
So I got an email and I've *gotta* give Chance and Cass the same love as Leila and Jacob. :D Can't believe I completely forgot to post my soundtrack for the His Dark Lessons series!
Check out my picks below:
Feist and Ben Gibbard- "Train Song"
It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
Feist- "Brandy Alexander"
He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into...

Release Day!
Hi lovelies!
Despite some pretty intense history, Chance and Cass' story has come full circle in The Test and the last installment in their journey is out today!!!
Cassandra Woods is ready to give Dr. Chance Crawford her whole heart despite his past betrayal, but the road to forgiveness is not an easy one. Those close to her seem hell bent on keeping them apart and their doubts seep in like poison. When someone reports the new professor for inappropriate behavior with a student, Cassandra must...

Updates and Changes
Thank yall for understanding about the postponed release of The Test. I'm back and everything is good and I'm ready to get stuff back on track! :)
The Test will be released tomorrow (barring it gets stuck in Amazon purgatory...but there's nothing THAT scandalous going on ;).
I wanted to also let you know that I've decided to put the first book in the series, The Student in Amazon Select. This means the full series (The Student, The Teacher, The Test) will be exclusive to Amazon for 90 days...

Delay
I hate it, hate it, HATE when I have to delay things because I know you guys are so amazing and engaged with my stories and when I say something's coming out, it should be out. Unfortunately, I have a personal emergency so I'm gonna have to delay the release of The Test. It's completed and I got it back from my editor/beta reader but since this one is longer (over 20k words) I want to read it again and make sure it's perfect. It's the last of Cass and Chance's story, so I want to do the...

In celebratory excitement, I'm sharing a snippet. Hope you guys enjoy and stay tuned for more tidbits and posts throughout the week leading up to the release on Friday. <3
Excerpt from The Test (His Dark Lessons, Part Three):
"Pull the car over," I said through gritted teeth. "NOW."

His Submissive Re-branding
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you--I am doing back to back posts. :) I was considering just P.S.'g the last post but I think this warrants its on little corner on the blog.
I've been kicking around the idea of re-branding the His Submissive e-book covers for awhile. I think the current covers are hot (from the suited up guy in the car with the chick/Billionaire's Contract to the couple from the Billionaire's Heart *fans myself*) but those images have been used on multiple other e-books for ot...

New Release!
Sorry this blog is coming a little late in the day (evening for East Coasters)...my bf swept me away for a surprise lunch and an afternoon of retro LA and yummy Ryan Gosling goodness:
Gangster Squad was all kinds of amazing, but you guys don't read my blog to read about my love of all things noir (and the Gos!) so I'll get to it.
The Billionaire's Girlfriend is out!!!!
Amazon *finally* approved it...you'd think Jacob and Leila were getting it on every five pages or something. ;)
Introducing Leila...
