New releases
Hey guys, it's been a while, I know, I know... but I wanted to let you know that I'm currently hard at work on several projects including:
1. Odium 8
2. Red Eye Season 4
3. Ride or Die 3
Not to mention some other books which have been pushing to the forefront of my already very busy mind. But more to come on those in the new year.
I hope that you've had time to grab my latest releases, both out in October, there was THE BLOOD THAT BINDS and the SCOUTS ANTHOLOGY (limited time)
Make sure to grab both, especially SCOUTS, since this one will be going away forever soon.
SCOUTS features my story - SANCTUM - in which a shy recluse is searching for love, and he'll do whatever he can to get it! (insert dramatic music!)
The Blood that Binds is book 3 in mine and Madeline Sheehan's Thicker than Blood series, a post-apocalyptic romance series. I adore writing in this world and it's been a fair few years since the release of book 2 (Beneath Blood & Bone). That's no problem though, as each book in this series is a standalone (though, there are some crossover characters... hello surprise reveal!)
Make sure to grab your copies!
love

The Blood that Binds
You guys, did you see the stunning cover for THE BLOOD THAT BINDS? It's book three in my Thicker than Blood series, co-authored with Madeline Sheehan, and it's coming October 2nd!
It is GORGEOUS and perfectly matches the series. We're so excited for you to read this book!
~ BLURB ~
* Book 3 in the Thicker than Blood series *
Two brothers. A childhood sweetheart.
Life has never been easy for this trio, and especially not after the end of civilization as they knew it. Having had their formative years ripped from them, they were thrust into a shattered, savage world, a world where they only had each other.
Love and loss.
Weary travellers on the brink, there is a storm brewing, a turbulent tempest that has nothing to do with the weather. When tragedy strikes, everything changes in the blink of an eye-- facades come undone, and loyalty is pushed to a breaking point.
A diamond in the rough.
Immersed back into something akin to normal society, a safe-haven in the midst of misery, our travellers are forced to finally confront their demons--long-kept secrets that have been haunting them for nearly a decade.
Love is never easy;
And love during the end of the world is a hell of a lot more complicated.

Available to pre-order on all platforms now!

Book one ~ THICKER THAN BLOOD ~ is also on sale so make sure to grab it before the price goes up!

Royal Blood: The Brotherhood is LIVE!
It’s Release Day for Royal Blood: The Brotherhood, and I am SO excited for you to meet the Brothers!!
Early reviewers loved the story and the steam!
‘I was only 2 lines in and I knew I was going to love it and my god I loved every single page, from cover to cover I was consumed, these three brothers, sexy, dirty and a little bit psycho stole my heart. - Julie, Bookaholic Sisters Blog
‘I really enjoyed this!! I love mafia reads and throwing reverse harem into the mix...well this became the perfect combo. - Laura, Goodreads Reviewer.
If you are looking for a steamy read, that has mafia elements, alpha males and a story you can devour in a couple of hours then look no further. - Sarah, a.book.obsessed.brit
Royal Blood: The Brotherhood is a Reverse Harem Mafia Romance about three tall, dark and handsome brothers and one innocent daughter from a rival family. A story full of sin, temptation and power.
Blurb:
Natalia has always known that she was promised to a man of her fathers choosing. She's 25 years his junior and has been promised to him since birth. However, after the Novello brothers, come to the aid of her father Frank, everything changes.
Frank is king of the underworld. The Don of NYC. He has money, drugs, guns, thriving businesses and half the police force under his belt. So when he offers the brothers payment for helping him, he’s surprised when the only thing they demand is Natalia.
Unable to refuse their offer, Frank reluctantly hands over his only daughter to the Novello brothers and a war breaks out between the three families.
When duty and jealousy collide, the flames of temptation are fanned and the only thing standing in the way of bloodshed and war is the promise of seduction from the virgin daughter of Frank Costello.
Can there ever be life after the Brotherhood take their payment from her? Or does the ultimate betrayal lie in her own blood?

Crazy month!
Wow, February was a crazy book release month and I hit March exhausted!
First we had the release of the Sweet Treats Valentines anthology where you got to meet my age-gap couple <3
Then we had the Stalkers dark romance anthology release where you invited a psycho roommate in to your life...
And finally the second book in the Bratva Mafia romance duet - TWISTED PRINCESS. Aren't Nik and Katya just everything?! Le' swoon!
If you've not caught up with one or some of these, I'll link them at the bottom of this post for you. You should definitely read them if you like all things forbidden and naughty!
What am I working on now?
Right now I'm working on a new Mafia romance which is set to release NEXT MONTH! Yes, next month ROYAL BLOOD a reverse harem mafia romance will be releasing, and it is HOT!
I'm also hard at work on Odium VIII, Red Eye season 4 (the final season), The third in the Thicker than Blood series and Ride or Die 3! Not to mention some anthology pieces.
My kids are all back in school now, and though I'm missing them like crazy already, it feels good to have some time to myself to get the words out again.
What are you reading?
Currently I'm listening in audiobook to Rachel Caine's Heartbreak Bay book 5 in her thriller series. I'm also reading (paperback) Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. I can't tell you how damn good this book is, and I'm annoyed that I've not read it before now. It's an oldie, but a goodie and I highly recommend it.
Okay, back to the writing cave I go!
