Book News! I’ve got a new book cover and blurb to share with you!!!

On October 29, 2024, I’ll be releasing another brand new romantic suspense. This one will be…WHEN HE PROTECTS. (And if you enjoyed the Wilde Ways books–then you should enjoy WHEN HE PROTECTS! It’s written in the same vein–danger, suspense, steam, a fierce alpha hero…and a heroine who adores breaking rules.)

𝐇𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐭.

Esme Laurent is a con artist. An accomplished liar. A world-class thief. And probably the most beautiful and intriguing woman that Tyler Barrett has ever met. Sure, he has to arrest her at their first meeting, and she absolutely hates him, but…well, he has a job to do. And Tyler 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 gets the job done.

𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐣𝐨𝐛.

The people in charge want to use Esme to bring down a very dangerous criminal operation. And in order to do that, Esme has to stay in the land of the living. She needs protection, she needs a new identity, and she needs to disappear, immediately. Because Esme has more than a bit of power, she makes her own deal…her protection needs to come in the ever-so-gorgeous, ever-so-dangerous, and ever-so-law-abiding form of U.S. Marshal Tyler Barrett.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐔𝐒𝐀. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐥𝐲𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

𝑁𝑜, 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦, 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑏𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔. But no matter how much Tyler protests, the new job is, in fact, happening. He’s being sent to Asylum, Alabama, with the delectable Esme. He’s supposed to be her husband—a role that will give him twenty-four, seven access in order to protect her. He needs that access in order to make sure that Esme doesn’t run from the authorities 𝑎𝑛𝑑 that she stays alive. But what Tyler doesn’t count on is the consuming desire he feels for a woman who should be off-limits.

𝐒𝐡𝐞’𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬…

Esme doesn’t expect her attraction to the rule-following Tyler. He’s big, he’s buttoned-down, and he’s absolutely…delicious. She also suspects that he may be carefully controlling a wild side—one that she would love to see erupt. 𝑂ℎ, 𝑖𝑓 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦.

When danger comes calling, Tyler is more than ready to handle any threat. Who knew that falling for the good guy could be so tempting? And so very…heart-breaking. Because there was no way a guy like Tyler would want to stay around once they stop pretending. Everyone knows the bad girl never gets to keep the good guy, especially when she’s still working a very long con.

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Are you in the mood for a strong hero who makes “protecting and defending” his life code? Tyler is big, fierce, and more than ready to step into the line of fire in order to protect his charge. He’s also falling fast under the spell of a woman he should not trust. Everything with Esme is just pretend…everything, except the desire they feel for each other. And the very, very real danger that stalks her. A danger that may wind up costing Tyler more than he ever expected. WHEN HE PROTECTS, Tyler gives his all, and when he loves…he will fight like hell for the woman who stole his heart.

I’ve just re-released my Fallen angel paranormal romance series, and the first book in the series, ANGEL OF DARKNESS, is currently FREE at ebook retailers!

When an angel falls, there is hell to pay…

ANGEL OF DARKNESS was first published with Kensington all the way back in 2011. (And it does not feel like that much time has already passed! Wow!) I received the rights back to my Fallen books, and I am very happy to be bringing the fallen angels back to readers once again! I gave the books new covers and made some editing changes (no major scene alterations).

I wanted to make the first book in this series free because I know it’s sometimes hard to remember if you’ve read a book before or not (especially when there is a new cover!). So I thought offering the first book free would help out on that confusion…because if you click it and then realize you *did* read Keenan’s story years ago…you’re not out anything! You just have a new, free copy of the book.

Here’s the blurb for ANGEL OF DARKNESS, Book One in The Fallen series:

Angels of death do not feel. They do not need. They do not lust. They do not love. They carry out their jobs. They take souls.

Or at least…that is what they are supposed to do, until Keenan, a powerful angel of death, refuses to take his latest charge on a blood-soaked New Orleans night. He should have touched Nicole St. James, a sweet schoolteacher slated to die, but instead…he took the vampire attacking her. With one touch, Keenan changed fate, and he fell from heaven.

When an angel falls, all hell breaks loose.

Keenan’s wings burned away in the fall. Without his wings, he’s hit with every single human emotion—and need. And his entire focus is on the woman who cost him everything. He hunts Nicole, tracks her, but is stunned to see that the human he knew before is long gone. Nicole changed on that dark night, too. She’s got some new and dangerous accessories—fangs and claws and definite bite because she’s a vampire.

Heaven and hell are after them.

Nicole and Keenan are being hunted. Demons and angels are both closing in. If Nicole and Keenan are to survive, they’ll have to trust each other completely. A vampire and a Fallen aren’t supposed to bond, and they sure aren’t supposed to become mates, but some desires just can’t be contained. Keenan has been tied to Nicole from the moment he first saw her. Human, vampire—doesn’t matter to him. Nicole is his, and he will wreck the world to keep her safe.

He fell for her. She will belong only to him.

ANGEL OF DARKNESS was originally released by Kensington Publishing in December of 2011. The hero knows nothing of human needs, but he’s about to experience a whole new world after falling for his vampire. How far will an angel go in order to protect the woman he wants above all others? Get ready to find out. Hope you enjoy the fall…

Just a quick note to say that the ANGEL OF DARKNESS re-release is starting to show at retailers! It is currently listed as F*R*E*E at Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Google Play. The price at Amazon is showing .99–but I am working to get that price adjusted. As soon as the price has been adjusted at Amazon, I will be back with a new post! (Prime Day fun is happening at Amazon, though, and I’m not sure how long the adjustment may take there. I’ll update as soon as I see it process. I was told by the rep that it could take 2-3 days for the change to go through the system.)

ANGEL OF DARKNESS was first published with Kensington all the way back in 2011. HOW has so much time passed??? I received the rights back to the book, and I am very happy to be bringing the fallen angels back to readers again! The book has a new cover and I made some editing changes (no major scene changes). If you read the book before, Keenan’s story is the same.

Over the next few days, I will be sharing the blurbs for my “Fallen” paranormal romance series. (These were the books that were originally released with Kensington years ago, but I have the rights back, and I’m planning to re-release them within the next two weeks–yay!!!) I have given the books new covers and made mild editing changes to the stories. No major scene changes have occurred.

Here’s the blurb for the first book, ANGEL OF DARKNESS:

When I re-release ANGEL OF DARKNESS, I’m planning to make the ebook F*R*E*E. It may take me a wee bit to get the price adjusted, so if you see it and it’s not showing that way, just wait a little while, and I’ll announce when it’s all set to go.

While you are enjoying the holiday…why not snag a FREE read? Right now, my paranormal romance, HUNT ME DOWN, is FREE at all major ebook retailers!

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…
