When you’re buried alive with someone, the only place for the relationship to go…is up.

My new romantic suspense, TEMPTATION, is available now!

“I think you and I…” Preston rasped, “might be very similar.”

She felt the lick of his tongue against her earlobe. And maybe, the faintest tug of his teeth on her.

Desire surged through Sloane’s body.

He eased back. Stared into her eyes. “You aren’t scared of me.”

“No.”

“Why the hell not?”

“Because I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting evil over the years.”

He laughed. Rough. Deep. Bitter. “Then maybe you need to take another hard glance at me.”

No, she didn’t. She knew what she was getting with him. Exactly what she needed. But they had to come to an agreement. “You don’t hurt me. I don’t hurt you.”

A furrow appeared between his brows.

“You don’t hurt me,” she repeated. “I don’t hurt you.” That was the only way their partnership would work.

His jaw locked. Frankie kept driving. Sloane didn’t think that Preston was going to respond at all until⁠—

“Angel, there’s something you need to realize.”

She waited, all her attention on him.

“From here on out, consider me your attack dog. Anyone tries to hurt you in any way, and I’ll rip out the bastard’s throat.”

Well, that was promising.

TEMPTATION officially releases on 06.25.26…but you can read the first chapter right now!

Desire can be born in darkness.

Buried alive. He wakes in darkness to find her on top of him. Preston Byron has been buried alive, but he’s not alone in the dark. Sloane Armstrong is with him. On top of him. Kissing him to hold their panic at bay, promising that they will survive the nightmare around them. That help is coming…And they do survive. They are rescued. They return to reality…

But she haunts him.

Preston isn’t going to let his attacker escape. He plans to hunt the killer who targeted him. A man who made Preston relive a nightmare from his past. But there was an angel in the dark with him, a woman who captivates Preston. Preston isn’t about to let Sloane slip from his life. She saved him, she charmed him, and she made the critical mistake of fascinating him. Now, he will do whatever it takes to unlock all of her secrets.

Killers are her specialty. The darker the monster, the more savage the crime…

Sloane studies killers. Or, actually, she is currently studying the adult children of serial killers. Her work brought her into billionaire real estate mogul Preston Byron’s life. Fine—she was semi-stalking him. Learning every detail about the gorgeous and sexy Preston that she could. Preston was kidnapped as a teen. Buried alive. Preston believed that he was just another victim of the Last Breath Killer—the only victim to survive—but Sloane has learned the shocking truth…Preston was the serial killer’s biological son. Preston doesn’t know about his serial killer parent. He certainly doesn’t know that his father was trying to push his son into following in his own sick, murderous footsteps.

Because the darkness calls…and it tempts…

Something unlocked inside of Preston in the darkness. A beast that he’d kept chained for a long time is pressing close to the surface, demanding that he find his abductor, that he eliminate the threat. The only one who can soothe the beast is the same woman who comforted him, who kissed him, in the dark. Sloane is the key to his control…and also the one person who may be able to shatter it into a million pieces. She’s keeping secrets from him, and when the truth comes out, it will upend Preston’s world.

Better take a deep breath. It just might be your last.

A predator is hunting—a copycat who is enacting the Last Breath Killer’s crimes, and his next target…is Sloane.

I’ve got book S*A*L*E news for you!! From now until July 5th, you can get the ebook of COMPULSION for just .99!

They wake up hand-cuffed together in a serial killer’s lair…hardly the meet-cute of her dreams. But then again, her dreams are usually nightmares so…

Lily Gallo knows killers. She should, after all, because serial killers are her specialty. She’s the daughter of a notorious serial killer, and she’s made it her life’s work to study the brutal predators. And, recently, she’s been researching the offspring of serials. She’s looking for others who are just like she is. Her research has brought her into the life of reclusive billionaire Atlas Bennett. He’d refused her repeated requests for a meeting. She’d suspected he might be following in his father’s brutal footsteps. But now…

They’re both trapped, and they have to rely on each other for survival.

Atlas can’t believe it when he wakes up handcuffed to the beautiful and infuriating Lily. The woman thinks he’s as savage as his twisted father, but she has no clue what dark secrets he really holds. For the moment, though, escape is their priority. But once they get out of that hell, Lily will be his.  He’d warned her to stay away. Now, it’s too late. Her fate is sealed.

A killer is after them both. To survive, they have to trust each other. They also have to stay very, very close to one another…

Atlas knows that his reaction to Lily isn’t normal. The lust he feels is too strong, too consuming, but she calls to the primitive darkness within Atlas that he’s tried to hide from the rest of the world. He’s going to need that darkness because a killer is hunting him…and Lily. A predator who is intent on taking out the children of serial killers. Innocence and guilt doesn’t matter. Only survival does. The killer has uncovered Lily’s research, and he’s using it to track his prey. As each day passes, he’s also growing increasingly obsessed with Lily.

Being prey wasn’t on her agenda.

Lily’s mother is the most infamous female serial killer of modern times, and her mother passed on more than a few of her dangerous traits to Lily. Lily has no intention of being some helpless victim, but she will trap the killer who is on her trail. She’ll also stick close to Atlas because she knows he holds plenty of secrets. Fair enough. She’s got secrets, too. Atlas stirs a part of her that she has tried to fight her entire life. Wild, forbidden, and dangerous, he is a lover she can’t resist. He may just be the perfect partner for her…unless, of course, she turns out to be dead wrong about him.

Because some people carry darkness, some people carry sins…and there are some monsters that you never see coming, not until it’s far too late.

Author’s Note: Danger, serious steam, and two lovers who share a passion that will obliterate everything else…He’s possessive, dangerous, and willing to kill. She’s methodical, controlled, and fighting to hide her true self. When they come together, their worlds will shift, their lust will consume them, and they will either be the perfect team…or the most diabolical couple to walk the earth. Ah, fun times are ahead.

Just one week until the 06.25.26 release of my next romantic suspense, TEMPTATION!

Author’s Note: Preston wants her before he even sees her face. Desire sinks into his very bones, and she’s his lifeline, his link to sanity when the dark presses in. There is no rule that he will not break for her, no risk that he will not take, and when the danger starts to grow around Sloane, Preston will let his beast off its careful leash, and he will eliminate every threat to her. Because she saved him when he was in the dark. And he will never, ever allow anyone to take her from him.
