Happy 2017!!! I hope this is a wonderful year for everyone!!!

2017 has started off with a new release for me…Harlequin has released THE GATHERING DUSK, a 59 page prequel novella that introduces the characters in my “Killer Instinct” series.

What is the Killer Instinct series? It’s a brand spanking new dark and sexy romantic suspense series that I have written for HQN. The tales are gritty, full of twists and turns, but still sexy and hot–because that just makes stories fun, right?

THE GATHERING DUSK gives you an early glimpse at the characters who will fill the pages of the first “Killer Instinct” book, AFTER THE DARK (available in March).

Actually, I had the pleasure of doing something really fun with this series…in addition to the three 90,000 word books that I wrote for HQN, I also created Harlequin Intrigue tie-in books that relate to the secondary characters you will see in the HQN books.  I’d been getting requests from readers for more Intrigues, so this seemed like a perfect way to launch a new series.

So…

This is a full list of the books that I have coming from Harlequin this year:

THE GATHERING DUSK – 59 page prequel novella for the Killer Instinct series – Available now!

ABDUCTION – Harlequin Intrigue  – February 2017

AFTER THE DARK – Book 1, Killer Instinct Series – March 2017

HUNTED – Harlequin Intrigue (again, this one is an Intrigue title, but you will see some familiar characters from the single-title books) – July 2017

BEFORE THE DAWN – Killer Instinct, book 2, published by HQN – July 2017

INTO THE NIGHT – Killer Instinct, book 3, published by HQN

I’m working to get pages for each of these books up on my website. So stay tuned–more information is coming your way!

Happy 2017!! May your year be filled with lots of great books to read!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Be safe, have fun, and make great memories!

Know what goes well with the holidays? A free book. And I’ve got one for you…

A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL is currently free at Amazon, iBooks, and B&N.

Ben Prescott hates Christmas—he’s a vampire, and to him, there’s certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season.  While the humans are running around being merry, he’s hunting in the shadows.  Ben plans to spend the holidays his way…by stalking deadly prey.

But fate has other plans for Ben.

Three visitors are coming Ben’s way…A demon who will force  Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could have, and a shifter  who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben’s future. Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who can’t be saved by anyone or anything.

‘Tis the season…to be undead.

Ben’s redemption rests in the hands of the one woman he loved and lost—Simone Laurent.  If Ben is going to have a chance at being more than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely Simone.  A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone died in Ben’s arms…

Warning: This story features one very tortured vampire, a sexy ghost from his past, and hot scenes designed to melt the winter snow. Plenty of action, adult situations, and steamy times are ahead. Happy holidays!

What happens when an angel falls? Find out in BROKEN ANGEL.

Angel Lila is being hunted—she can feel the hunter closing in behind her. Every move she makes, he’s stalking after her. But does the werewolf on her trail want to destroy her—or can he protect her from the growing darkness that she is trying so desperately to fight?

Werewolf Rayce Lovel doesn’t know what to do with an angel—especially one who makes him think too much about paradise. Lila may be heavenly, but every time he’s near her, Rayce wants to sin. Angels aren’t supposed to feel, but Lila was introduced to the world by way of pain. Pain is all she’s known for far too long, and now, Rayce is tempted to introduce gorgeous Lila to pleasure.

But the longer an angel stays out of heaven, the more dangerous she can become. Lila sinks deeper into the darkness with each night that passes, and she finds herself becoming a pawn in an eternal battle…good versus evil. Is Rayce really her protector? Perhaps he is just the hungry wolf who has been sent to ensure that Lila never sets foot back in her paradise.

A fallen angel has a bad side…and that side is about to be set free.
