New Release Date for The Temptation

Are you excited for the release of The Temptation?

I didn't want you to wait until December to get your hands on this lovely book. My editors have been working hard. Pierce and Simon are currently with my proofer. After the proofer, the book will receive one final look to make sure it is hunky dory.

Because we are so close to being done, I am ready to finally move up the release date.
Instead of releasing December 12 (on my shop) and December 19 (on Amazon), The Temptation is now coming out October 3 (on my shop) and October 10 (on Amazon)!

Isn't that fantastic!?!

That also means that you need to jump on the pre-order now to make sure your copy is locked in. Don't miss a second of the exciting conclusion to the Executive Suite Secrets series.

Here is a quick description of the book:

There was no escape.

Pierce had been running from me for years.

No more.

This time, Pierce needs me to play the role of doting boyfriend to keep his parents from dragging him back to Boston.

With the help of some sneaky accomplices, I’m turning this fake boyfriend into something real.

I will finally understand all his secrets and the haunted look that darts through his eyes every time my brother is mentioned.

Preferably before Pierce learns the truth behind too many of my own secrets.

The Temptation is the fourth and final full-length novel in the Executive Suite Secrets series, which includes a grumpy, too-serious billionaire, a sassy world-class violinist, evil schemes, fake boyfriend, best friend’s brother, snark, teasing, stolen kisses, “helpful” friends, hurt/comfort, caretaking, and finally getting to the bottom of an old mystery so we can have that sweet, forever kind of love.

Grab at my shop for October 3 delivery.

Grab on Amazon for October 10 delivery.

So much is happening as we head into the wonderful fall months. We've started decorating for Halloween around the Drake household and I'll try to share some picture in the next newsletter. We picked up a six-pack of 5-foot-tall posable skeletons and I've been having fun setting them up in weird places around the house to scare my husband. They'll be moved outside soon, but for now, I'm having fun with them around the house.

This week, we had the release of the audiobook for SOAR, the final book of the Wings N Wands series. If you haven't picked it up yet, go grab it now. Joel Leslie is amazing with our dragons. And if you haven't started my collaboration with AJ Sherwood yet, the audiobooks for all of Scales N Spells and Wings N Wands are available now.

In my shop, the Variks all have stickers now if you want to collect them all. They are available as a bundle. In addition, I have the art for Xiao Dan and Huli from the Kings of Chaos series. I have the mini print ordered and I will be adding them to the shop as soon as the shipment arrives. Be sure to check out all the goodies I have available in my shop.

The Temptation will be out in October. It's the final book of the Executive Suite Secrets series and I'm a little sad to be finishing the series. I had a lot of fun with Sebastian and all the boys. They're crazy and so very sweet.

After the release of The Temptation , I have another book that I am hoping to have out in October as well -- Demon Dating Service. This is the free novel that I posted over on Patreon and Ream for the past year. It had been edited and slightly expanded. (I think I added about 10,000 to 15,000 new words to the original.) I'm also planning some very special things for the paperback. My goal is to have the official cover reveal and pre-order up in the next newsletter. The book is already working its way through copyedits.

Speaking of free stories, I'm going to be starting a new one soon. Readers are voting on the details every week. Right now, we've decided that it's going to be a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin and we are currently voting on the time period for the story. I believe we will have at least one more vote this Sunday. Pop in to Patreon or Ream to participate.

In December, I will also be releasing a fun holiday-season novella for Sky and Nolan from the Princes of Mayhem series. More details on that will likely come in late October or early November.

I'm also working on some new short stories for the Shadow Elite series that I will be posting on Patreon and Ream.

But the next new series is going to be the Godstone Saga spin-off, the Forgotten Gods series. I am starting to work on that now and will have more release and story details in October.

I think that gets us caught up for at least a little while. Lots of awesome things coming in the next few months.

Happy reading!
