Book news!!! The ebook for CRUEL ICE is on sale for just .99 from now until October 11th! (This the first of the surprises and fun that I have planned for the spooky month of October!)

The sins of the father…are coming back to wreck his world.

Make no mistake, Declan Flynn is not a good man. He’s never claimed to be. He’s rich, powerful, dangerous…and, apparently, on someone’s kill list. When he wakes up one night, tied to a chair in a dank basement, Declan is certainly less than pleased—and in a killing mood of his own. Then she appears. His most unlikely savior.

Marley Jones never expected to be the guardian angel to a man most people consider the devil.

But fate is often funny, and she’s in the wrong place at the right time in order to save one very ungrateful and gorgeous billionaire. She’s a low-rent PI, he’s crime royalty (if you believe the gossip) and she may have just stumbled onto the first big case of her career. Now her job is to protect her new client—and in order to do that, she plans to stick to Declan like glue. He’d better get used to having her around. Intimately close.

First, he could have saved himself. Second, there is no way that Declan ever intends to let Marley go.

Good things—and people—don’t come into Declan’s life often. And when Marley inserts herself into what will obviously become one very bloody battle, the only thing he can do is protect her…even as Marley mistakenly thinks she is protecting him. By saving him, Marley put a target on her delicate back, and he intends to make sure that no one so much as touches a hair on her head. He also intends to claim the brave and fierce woman who calls to a dark and savage hunger that he’s buried deep inside.

But an enemy wants vengeance, and he doesn’t care about the collateral damage.

Someone wants Declan to suffer. To pay for the crimes his father committed. To unmask the predator who is now hunting both Declan and Marley, they will have to face the hell of Declan’s past. Monsters aren’t born. They’re made. Declan was made into a monster long ago, and this beast will do anything to protect the angel that slipped into his world.

Try to take her from him? He will show you hell on earth.

FROZEN IN ICE is the first book in my “Ice Breakers Cold Case Romance” series. It’s got a determined, undercover heroine…and a dangerous, protective, billionaire hero with loads of secrets.

Is he a drop dead gorgeous…killer?

Delilah “Lila” Darrow doesn’t belong in the world of the rich and famous, but for one night, she’s going to wear the fanciest dress she can find and pretend that she does. Her plan—get close to reclusive billionaire Archer Radcliffe and find out…is he a murderer?

She knows exactly what Archer likes. She knows how to slip beneath his guard. She knows how to make him fall for her. With the right tools, Delilah believes she can finally make Archer pay for the crime he committed so long ago.

Payback is calling…and she’s wearing a dress made for sin.

Delilah is part of a group of crime solvers called the Ice Breakers—an online team made up of individuals who have the goal of solving cold cases. Five years ago, Delilah’s sister disappeared without a trace. Since then, Delilah has made it her mission to close as many unsolved cases as possible. Archer Radcliffe will be the latest target in her quest.

Except…Archer turns the tables on her. He sees through her lies. Tries to seduce her. And, he also swears his innocence.

Can she trust him? Or is he playing her?

Now that he has Delilah at his side, Archer can finally get the justice—the vengeance—he has craved. The only problem? The beautiful Delilah will be in danger. But Archer intends to stick close to her. So close that the world will believe they are completely in love. So close that a deadly enemy will want to strike.  So close that just maybe—if he’s not careful—Archer might begin to fall for the woman he intends to use…

I’ve got some Kindle Unlimited news!

I’ve put some “classic” Cynthia Eden books in KU. Right now, you can get the Lazarus Rising series (think hot super soldiers!) and my Purgatory paranormal series (these heroes really have bite!).

With Halloween coming up, I felt like it was a good time to put these books in KU.

The Lazarus Rising series was first published back in 2017, while the first Purgatory book was available beginning in 2012–that’s why I say these books are “classic” Cynthia Eden tales.

What’s coming next? Well…

ICE COVERED HEART will be here on 10.13.26! (Just in time for some Halloween fun because I’ve got a “Final Girl” heroine for you…)

His dream woman just walked right through the front door…and now Hunter McQueen has to figure out a way to keep her. Keep her alive. Keep her close. Keep her…forever. Good thing he’s good at strategizing.

Hunter McQueen is a former Ranger, a part-time Ice Breaker, and an all-around badass. It’s not like he looks for trouble—more like, trouble looks for him. And this time, the trouble that has come to hunt him down appears in the beautiful form of Shelby Carter, the famous “final girl” who survived the Sorority Seven Killer and sent the perp to death row.

Once he manages to pick his jaw off the floor, Hunter wants to know how he can help Shelby. Also, how in the hell he can convince the woman to go out on a date with him? Fan boy much? Embarrassing but…yes. If there is one thing that Hunter respects, it’s strength, and Shelby has a spine of steel.

She fought alone before, but this time, she needs…him.

The big, dangerous stranger is supposed to be the protector that Shelby needs. He’s also supposed to be the man who can help her uncover the truth about a night that still torments her.  Seven years ago, Shelby took down a killer who murdered her friends. During the attack, Shelby lost the hearing in her right ear. She avoids crowds, she trusts no one, and she spends her days and nights alone.

But new memories are cracking through the darkness in her mind—a darkness left behind by the attack that wrecked her world—and she is now wondering…is the right man on death row?

He’ll help her find the truth. And she’ll thaw the ice around his heart.

As they begin investigating the past, deadly attacks plague Shelby. It’s clear someone does not want her digging up the truth, but there is no way Hunter will let Shelby be hurt. He’ll be her full-time bodyguard, her hired gun—he will be whatever she needs him to be. Simply put, Hunter intends to stand between her and any threat. He will eliminate all of the threats to her.

As for Shelby, desire burns through her with each touch and kiss that she shares with Hunter. Shelby is not interested in some slow burn romance with him. She wants passion. She wants desperation. She wants a desire that breaks past all control. And with Hunter, that’s exactly what she will get.

Provided, of course, that the killer closing in doesn’t take out the final girl on his list…

Author’s note: The Ice Breakers are back! Time for cold (and current) case solving as Hunter McQueen falls first and falls hard for a woman who has survived hell and lived to tell the twisted story. Shelby doesn’t expect to want Hunter as badly as she does, but the Ice Breaker sneaks past her guard. He’s dangerous, unpredictable, and a vicious fighter—exactly what she needs and soon…he’s everything that she wants.
