Snow and Lucas are such a wonderful fit together. Snow needs someone who is bossy and controlling, which is Lucas completely. But honestly, I don't think Rinda and I have ever seen them more than friends and brothers. That fit has never been sexual in nature. I think that's why Jude ended up being more like Lucas than we initially expected him to be. Jude is bossy when he needs to be, but he's positive and warm where Lucas struggles with that.(less)

This spin-off series will focus on the employees of Ward Security and undoubtedly include badass alpha males. The first book should be out this fall. Thanks!(less)

New Series! New Cover!

Once Upon A Time…

Let’s jump right into the action with a brand-new series and a great big cover reveal!

Funny enough, this book wasn’t a part of my original plan for the start of 2026.

I just thought it would take me much longer to write it and this book would be released later in 2026. But some books demand to be written RIGHT NOW.
