What new book will be next??? If you are currently reading SAVAGE ICE, then I am going to ask you to pretty please look away right now. I am about to post the blurb for the next book in my Ice Breaker Cold Case series, and I don’t want to spoil anything for you.

Did you look away?

Did you???

For those still looking…the next Ice Breaker Cold Case romance will be…BRUTAL ICE. It will release on 9/24/24. And…here is the blurb:

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫…𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Royal Boudreaux isn’t interested in being a hero. Quite the opposite. Darkness clings to him, and he lets that darkness out by hunting and catching the most dangerous killers who roam the streets. Everyone needs a hobby, right? During his latest hunt, Royal expects to take down his prey. He doesn’t expect to find a beautiful woman trapped in the trunk of a car.

𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲…

He intends to drop the gorgeous victim at the nearest police station and then get the hell away from her. Only walking away isn’t an option for Royal. Not this time. Because there is something about dancer Violet Murphy that calls to him. A driving, primitive pull. He finds that can’t stay away from her. Scratch that–he doesn’t want to be away from Violet. What he does want? Her.

Determined, fierce, and unwilling to give in to the fear that he sees in her eyes, Violet slides right past Royal’s guard. Fragile on the outside, but with a core of steel in her soul, Violet is a fighter. But she can’t fight this battle alone.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝.

When Royal saved Violet, the killer escaped. Somewhere in the hot Savannah night, the killer still lurks. Royal intends to protect Violet and take out his prey. But Violet has uncovered the dark truth about Royal, and instead of being repelled, she’s determined to be at his side in order to get the justice she seeks. Being a victim again? Not on her agenda, thanks.

𝐀𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐀 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝.

Danger. Lust. Need. Desire burns brutally hot on a Savannah night. But the killer isn’t the only one closing in…because a very unexpected ghost from Royal’s own past is heading to town. Everything Royal knew about himself is about to be completely upended. Hero, monster…which one is he? With chaos reigning, there is only one certainty for Royal…protect Violet.

𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝.

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Royal’s hobby is dangerous, diabolical, and definitely not ordinary. But then again, he’s all of those things, too. When he discovers Violet, his entire world shifts focus. She matches him, she scares him, and…she just damn well might complete him. But in order to have a life with Violet, Royal has to first hunt down and stop the man who abducted her—and killed three other women. Lucky for Royal, he’s not hunting alone. The Ice Breakers are back. Passion, twists, and hot romance are coming your way.

𝐒𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥.

Only…she’s not normal. Assistant DA Erin Jerome isn’t human, at least, not fully. She’s trying to keep her supernatural skill set a secret, but, unfortunately, she seems to have acquired a stalker. A dangerous predator who “gifts” her with bodies and doesn’t mind leaving a trail of blood in his wake. In other words, he’s a perfect nightmare. So how is she supposed to fight him?

𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭.

Night Watch is the best bounty hunting agency in the country. But at Night Watch, they don’t just hunt criminals. They take down the baddest of the bad and that includes the worst of the paranormals out there. Jude Donovan knows all about the secret Other world that lives in the shadows. He should know because he’s one of the most powerful shifters on the planet. And when the sexy ADA comes to him for help, he is more than happy to offer her protection.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Jude isn’t looking for a mate, but, then again, you don’t have to be looking in order to find the one who is meant for you. His beast wants Erin, and when passion flares between them—undeniable, primal—Jude knows that he will risk anything to have her. This hunter never gives up. He’ll take out her stalker and prove to Erin that having a wild side can be oh, so good…

It’s book release day! SAVAGE ICE is officially available in print and ebook. How about a teaser?

Her hand fisted on his shirtfront. “You followed me.”

Was that a thread of fear in her voice? 

She was right to be afraid of him.  Most people were. He eased back and stared into her eyes. “I would never hurt you.”

She stared at him.

The blue lights swirled around them. Firefighters shouted orders. Neighbors kept right on gaping.

“I want to protect you.” Always had, always would. The years hadn’t changed that. She didn’t get it. She was his one good thing.  The person he’d saved. The person who looked at him and didn’t see a monster or criminal or—hell, evil. She saw more.

“You followed me,” she repeated.

Sweetheart, I’ve been following you for years. Not the time for that particular confession.  From the corner of his eye, he saw that uniformed cops were closing in on him.  “You’re in danger. I can protect you.”

“How?”

It’s what I do. “Let’s get rid of the cops, and you’ll find out.”

She still had his shirtfront fisted in his hands. 

He waited, barely breathing and…

She nodded.

Fuck, yes.

Then she shot onto her toes. Her hand released his shirt but only so she could wrap her fingers around the nape of his neck and tug him toward her.  Then, against his ear, she whispered, “I don’t trust you, Beau LeBlanc.”

Tomorrow is the day! SAVAGE ICE will be available on 6/25/24!

“I can tell you exactly why the cops are here.” She wet her lips. Nearly had him growling. But then she continued, “And when I do that, you can tell me why you’re pretending that you don’t know exactly who I am.”

He almost forgot to breathe. And he didn’t do that shit. He wasn’t some dumb punk. “You told me you were Avalon—”

She leaned over the bar and grabbed his shirtfront in her hand. Fisted it. “Listen, Mr. Big, Bad, and Dangerous.”   

He looked down at her hand. 

“I remember you.” Low. Husky. “It’s pretty hard to forget the man who saved my life, even if he has grown up to have insane muscles, a jaw that looks like granite couldn’t chip it, and eyes that have me feeling like you’ve stripped me naked a dozen times since we first started talking.”

Shit. He’d been trying not to look too hungry. But in his mind, hell, yes, he’d stripped her naked more than a dozen times already.

“I remember you,” she repeated, even softer. “Hard for a girl to forget her hero.”

His eyes slowly lifted until they locked on hers. “You are making a mistake.” She should understand that fact right now. “I’m no one’s hero.”

“You are mine.” She jerked him forward and planted her lips on his. 

She flashed her killer smile again as she extended her hand across the counter. “Hi, I’m Avalon.”

𝐼 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤. He’d never been able to forget her, while, apparently, he didn’t even rate in her mind. Call a guy a hero once, change his life forever, then forget him. Typical.

But then, it had been years. And she hadn’t seen him since he’d been a beaten and burned kid. While he…

Ah, yeah, he’d seen her plenty since that fateful night.

SAVAGE ICE will be here on 6/25!❤
