It's time for free books!
THANK YOU!
I know I say this a lot, but I appreciate each and every one of you more than you know. There are a LOT of things you could spend your money on, and the fact that you choose to pick up one of my books means the world to me. Makes all the blood, sweat, and tears that go into writing each one worth it.
Finding Ashlyn was a little different than some of my other books, in that the hero and heroine start out with a friends-with-benefits relationship, but from the emails and messages I've received, and the positive reviews I've read, you were okay with that! :) I know I'm making you wait until July for Baker's story, but I hope it will be worth the wait!
Next up is my book, The Protector. For all your Kindle Unlimited fans, you'll be happy to know it's in that program. (For everyone else, this book/series is being published by my Amazon-owned published, so it will only be on that platform in ebook. I'm sorry! But it IS out in paperback and audio if you prefer). But more about this book and the Game of Chance series next week.
Also, as a note, I'll be closing my online store for a couple of months on MARCH 15th! So if you've been thinking about ordering anything, be sure to get that done before the 15th. The MOVING code will still save you 25% on anything in the "coupon" category until Mar 15th.
Also, that means you'll need to order Searching for Caryn by that Mar 15th date. I'm having one of my dog sitters mail out the paperbacks while I'm out of the country...so if you want a signed paperback of either The Protector or Searching for Caryn, order it by Mar 15th!
I've got TWO free books for you this week! The first is from Makenna Jameison. She writes some amazon books with Navy SEALs and she's letting me give you her book, SEAL's Desire , for FREE! And the BEST part...JUNGLE RESCUE! You all KNOW how much I love that trope! Link is below to grab it.
The second book is one of MINE. Securing Piper is free in the US, CA, UK, & AU for a limited time. You can get it on all the platforms for free!
This year is another packed year for releases for me (and you!), so there's not much time to rest before my next book comes out. But you DO still have time to get caught up if you want! :) Read on and be kind!

Finding Ashlyn is here!
It's live!
Finding Ashlyn is here!
This is a friends-with-benefits story with an over protective hero and an independent heroine. Ashlyn are perfect for each other...but neither wants to admit they want more than friendship. Until Ashlyn unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of a deadly situation, and she realizes that having an overprotective boyfriend isn’t such a bad thing. And Slate discovers his feelings for Ashlyn are anything but casual.
It's available in audio, paperback, hardback, and ebook...everywhere! Enjoy the next installment in the SEAL Team Hawaii series!
Be kind, Read on, and be strong!

Get your ears ready...
We're getting closer!
This week Finding Ashlyn is live in AUDIO, and it'll be out in ebook next week! This book is a friends-with-benefits story with a protective hero, an independent heroine, and a danger neither of them saw coming. :)
I've got autographed paperbacks and hardbacks in my online store. I'm having a sale because I'm moving to Maine in the spring and I'm trying not to have to move all my backlist books (because they're heavy! Lol). And I have a code you can use (MOVING) to save 25% off anything in the "coupon" section of the store.
Also, as an advanced note, the store will be closing on March 16th. The last day to order will be March 15th. Then it'l be closed for at least 2 months while I travel and move. That means you'll want to order my April book (Searching for Caryn) BEFORE March 15th! Just a head's up on that so you aren't surprised.
If you're an audio listener, ENJOY! Emma Wilder and Ryan West do an amazing job with this one! After Finding Ashlyn, there's only one more book in the series! And that's Baker’s book! :) I know you're all ready for that one! It'll be here before we know it!
Have a wonderful week. Remember to be kind and read on!

Get your autographed books now!
It's hard to believe...but in TWO weeks, Finding Ashlyn will be out in Audio, and in three weeks, you'll get the ebook! It feels like I JUST released a book...oh yeah, I did! HA!
Anyway, Finding Ashlyn is book 6 in the Hawaii SEAL series, and after that...BAKER!
I was going to share the first chapter with you like I usually do, but then realized it was...um...kind of steamy. So I decided on on this excerpt from the end of chapter one. :)
This is a friends-to-lovers with a super protective hero, an independent heroine, and a danger that could end any chance of a happily ever after.
ALSO, I have autographed paperbacks and hardbacks of Finding Ashlyn in my online store, HERE.
As many of you might know, I'm in the process of moving to Maine (I'm super excited!). But my laziness and not wanting to move a ton of books means good things for YOU. I want to try to reduce my inventory as much as possible, so I'm offering my newsletter readers a 25% discount on anything in the "coupon" category in my store! There are a TON of things in there, including books! Help me not having to move as many books! All you have to do is put the code MOVING in the box in the checkout area. That'll give you the 25% off anything in that coupon category! Happy shopping!
Thank you again for your support. It means the world to me.

Free book for you!
Thank you all SO much for your support of Deserving Henley! It came out last week and I've loved seeing all of your speculations to unanswered questions and love for Tonka, Henley, and Jasna! It's available on all the book platforms and waiting for you to read if you haven't picked it up yet!
Before I start teasing and enticing you with excerpts and the first chapter of Finding Ashlyn (We're getting SO close to the end of the Hawaii SEAL series!) I wanted to share a FREE book with you this month. I'm honored to let you know that Jane Blythe has shared a book only for my newsletter people! Crushed Ruby is a part of her Broken Gems series, and free ONLY through my newsletter. It is book 2 in this series, BUT you can get book 1 free as well if you go to the book sites. So you can read the first TWO books in this amazing series for free! You can't pass this up! More info below on Crushed Ruby.
Once again, I appreciate all of your support. I love writing what I write and your support means that the books will keep on coming! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year and are staying happy and healthy through the start of 2023. Read on and remember to be kind!

Read now!
Happy New Year!
And...Happy release week to me! :)
my link text is live and available on all the book platforms in ebook, audio, paperback, and hardback!
In book 2 in The Refuge series, you get to continue to get to know the other men who own and run the retreat in New Mexico for those who suffer from PTSD (military and non-military). Henley is the psychologist who works there and she tried so hard not to get involved with any of the men, but she is drawn to Tonka, who is usually "hiding out" in the barn. He's probably the most broken of all the guys, for good reason. With the help of Henley and her pre-teen daughter, Tonka is able to finally start living again.
But you KNOW I can't leave it at that...bad things happen to good people, and this book is a great example of that!
I hope you love it!
Happy Reading. Be kind. Keep your hands and thoughts to yourself. Embrace the Happy in Happy New Year. SMOOCHES

Listen now!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
And now we're in that weird time between Christmas and the New Year. lol
BUT, to help pass the time...Deserving Henley is LIVE in AUDIO! That's right, you could snuggle under your blankets (or by the beach if you're in the warmer parts of the world) and get lost in Henley and Tonka's story! I also have paperbacks in my online store that I'm sending out this week too!
I hope you love this story! It's got angst, a precocious pre-teen, some heat, and of course a Happily Ever After!
As we approach the new year I want to let all of you know how thankful I am for you. This year has been full of ups and down and I know I'm not alone in saying I'm ready to start over with 2023. Be kind to yourself and to others. Be safe this weekend if you're going out. And if you're hunkering down in your house (like me!) enjoy the peace.
Here's to an amazing 2023.

It's almost time...
My next book is only a Moment away. :)
Yes, A Third Moment in Time comes out next week! I figure it'll be a nice break to sit and read in the craziness of this time of year! Please don't forget to take care of yourself this month while you're running around taking care of everyone else. Sit, breathe, relax.
I can't wait for you all to read Willis' story. He is the FBI Agent from the Silverstone series. His wife and daughter were killed in a terrorist incident and he threw himself into work to cope. Well...when his neighbor, who he's noticed, but hasn't made any attempts to get to know, comes home in a taxi, limping and obviously hurt, he can't keep his distance any longer.
This is a brand new story, which the other short stories in this collection have been published here and there in the last year. I wanted to make sure I gave you all something NEW as well as publishing my other stories all in one place.
If you're looking for gift ideas this year, I have a ton of stuff in my online store. Signed books, tshirts, swag, and I just added gift certificates if you want to give those to someone and let them choose their own present.
Stay safe out there. This time of year can be brutal on your mental health. Be kind to yourself, and those in the service and customer service industries.
Read on!

Something new is coming... find out what now!
Are you guys ready...for a Third Moment in Time?
Some of you might be wondering what the heck this is.
This is a compilation of short stories that have already been published here and there, BUT it ALSO includes a brand new novella that I wrote just for this collection. It comes out in ebook on Dec 13th. (right now I don't have plans for it to be in audio, but I might change my mind later).
The Bully and Tex Meets Akilah were published last December in the Naughty or Nice anthology.
SEALing his Future was included in the Nightingale anthology that came out earlier this summer
(Both of these anthologies are no longer available)
Finding Peyton is a story I wrote for Lucy Score's reader group on Facebook (that Facebook marked as spam 2 days later and it's no longer up. Sigh...)
And last is Trusting Willis. This is the brand new novella. Willis is a character from my Silverstone series. He was the FBI agent who gave the Silverstone guys their "assignments". You might remember that his wife and daughter were killed in a terrorist attack in France years ago. I really wanted him to get his happily ever after. This is the first story I've written where two widows find love with each other.
All together the stories make up a full length novel size book. I figured since I didn't have a December book planned, this would make a nice surprise and could help make your holidays brighter!
I included a small excerpt from Finding Peyton below to hopefully get you excited about the collection!
Enjoy!

Read it now
It's here!
Searching For Bristol is finally here in ALL formats on ALL platforms!
Bristol is an artistic, strong, petite dynamo, and Rocky is a former Navy SEAL who doesn't know his own appeal. All he knows is that he's immediately drawn to the woman he found alone and hurt in the woods and that he can't leave her on her own to recover from her injuries.
And thus starts the next book in the Eagle Point Search & Rescue series. :)
Enjoy!
