Surprise! I have a paranormal rerelease available now!

WED OR DEAD was originally published with Kensington back in 2012 (it was released in the HOWL FOR IT anthology). I received the rights back to the story, and I’ve just made it available again for readers. WED OR DEAD is a 44,000 word novella. It has a new cover, but there have been no major content changes to the tale. (So if you read it before, you are not missing anything new!)

She not-so-accidentally married a wolf shifter…

Hunter Kayla Kincaid had one job—get close to wolf alpha Gage Ryder by any means necessary. That means hadn’t necessarily included marriage, but the minute she met the shifter, Kayla began to fall under his spell. Now she’s stuck between a wolf and a serious hard place. She’s supposed to help take out her new husband. Instead, she’s trying to find a way to save his savage self, even as Gage reveals that he’s been keeping secrets of his own.

He fell for a hunter, and now she is his.

It’s adorable the way Gage’s new bride thinks that she has tricked him. Priceless. The truth is that he recognized her as a potential wolf mate from the first look, and Gage moved heaven and hell to make her his. Now that he has Kayla, there is no way Gage will let her go. So all of the hunters at the door had better back off. This wolf has his mate, and he will fight to the death in order to keep her.

WED OR DEAD contains a fierce alpha hero and a heroine who enjoys a walk on the wild side. Paranormal fun, action, and adventure are waiting. Kayla and her alpha wolf are about to show that some bonds are absolutely meant to be. Provided, of course, that they can both stay alive long enough to get their happily-ever-after.

I’ve got an early Christmas present for you!! My USA Today best-selling romance, ONE HOT HOLIDAY, is F*R*E*E right now!! You can snag this book at all major ebook retailers.

I had way too much fun writing this story. Danger, romance, humor…and a parade of wild elves? Come on, that is some holiday merriment right there! Here’s the full blurb for you:

She’s running for her life. He’s the safe haven she never expected to find. The holiday season is about to get HOT.

Hiding out for the holiday season in the heart of the South? Not something that Haley Quick ever expected to have on her to-do list but then…she never expected her ex to want her dead, either. Turns out, life is full of surprises. Time to deal. Haley has ditched New York for a crazy little dot on the map known as Point Hope, Alabama. It’s a town gone extra crazy for the holidays, and Haley is sticking out like a sore thumb with her very much Grinch-self.

But enter sexy sheriff Spencer Lane…Tall, muscled, and made with an extra dose of sex appeal, he is exactly the kind of man that Haley should be avoiding. He’s charming, he looks way too good in a Santa hat, and, oh, yes, he’s her new landlord. The hits just keep coming. She can’t afford to let Spencer learn all of her secrets, a tough job since she is living with the man. No sex, though. It’s purely a business relationship. Except…the holidays in the South sure do get HOT. Or maybe that’s just sexy Spencer. Usually, Haley falls for the bad guy. It’s the whole reason she’s running for her life. She can’t help but wonder…What would it be like to fall for a man like Spencer?

He just got his Christmas wish.

Sheriff Spencer Lane can’t believe his luck. The most beautiful, fascinating woman he’s ever seen has just dropped into his life like a gift from, well, the big guy in red. Only the problem is that Haley seems to think Spencer is some by-the-book, nice guy. Probably because of the badge. And if she wants him to be the hero, that’s a role that he’s happy to play for her. But the truth is, Spencer has plenty of darkness inside, too. An ex Navy SEAL, he knows how to get sh—um, stuff done. He also knows how to be very, very naughty.

When danger threatens his Haley, all bets are off. No one is going to hurt her. No one is going to threaten her. Not in his town. Not on his watch. The nice guy will show Haley just how bad he can be.

Fake snow, a parade of wild elves, and a stalker ex don’t make for the merriest of times, but in Point Hope, anything can happen—and it usually does. Ready for a steamy story that will get you in the ho-ho-ho spirit? Settle back, curl up with Spencer, and have yourself a jolly old time.

Looking for a way to destress during the busy holiday season? I can help with that. 😉 My new Christmas romantic suspense, HOLDING OUT FOR A HOLIDAY HERO is available now.

HOLDING OUT FOR A HOLIDAY HERO has these themes & tropes:

🎄A super protective holiday hero
🎄He falls first.
🎄Jingle my bells.
🎄Someone needs to learn the magical meaning of Christmas (hint—that would be our Scrooge hero)
🎄Naughty vs. nice/opposites attract
🎄Holiday hijinks
🎄Hallmark but way hotter
🎄Forced proximity/bodyguard action

A holiday romance with a dash of romantic suspense and a former military hero who is so not feeling the festive spirit…

Bah humbug. Bounty hunter Jake Hale hates Christmas. He doesn’t do twinkling lights, festive packages, and you definitely won’t ever catch him singing Christmas carols. What he will do? Track down the worst of the scum out there. The former special ops soldier makes merry by tossing the naughty into prison cells and getting a grand pay day. Ho, ho, ho.

Then a ghost from Christmas past walks through his door.

True Blakely is always at the top of the nice list. Beautiful, sweet, with an innocence that—yep, he might have been tempted to destroy once or twice—she’s there to hire him. There have been a string of dangerous accidents in her life, and True fears that someone is trying to kill her. Not at all the sort of case that Jake would usually take—he hunts down the criminals after they jump bail, not before they’ve even been arrested. But one look into True’s bedroom eyes, and he can’t refuse. Maybe he still is a bit too tempted by the girl who got away…and surely one nice act won’t kill him? For her, he can play the hero.

He’ll close the case and be home in time for Christmas dinner.

Except, on the first morning of his investigation, he finds a dead body. One waiting underneath True’s glittering Christmas tree. The attacks are real, and it’s clear that someone is gunning for True. But Jake is on the job now, and no one is going to hurt her. His protective instincts are in overdrive…and so is the desperate desire that he’s always felt for True. This time, he’s done fighting that desire. He’ll finally show True just how fantastic it can be when you aren’t nice. Welcome to his naughty list.

Tomorrow is the big day! HOLDING OUT FOR A HOLIDAY HERO officially releases on 11/26/24!

He’s a bah humbug bounty hunter.
She’s the queen of the nice list.
And his long-term obsession.
Their worlds will collide this holiday season.

❄️Super protective holiday hero
❄️He falls first.
❄️Jingle my bells.
❄️Naughty vs. nice/opposites attract
