One week ago today, Flame Again came out! It’s so wild. I remember thinking that this book wouldn’t get done, it wouldn’t get finished. I had ups and downs with beta readers not finishing it (which just meant, they weren’t the readers for this book), I wondered and doubted all the things … but I am super proud of this book and I hope you’ll give it a read. Taking this week to focus on Gardenia and Dax’s story has paid off because I am now seven chapters in and I’m super pleased with the progress.

The contractor finishing the work on the house and taking away all the debris has been a huge weight off my shoulders and now heading into the weekend, I have an overgrown yard that has to be dealt with but if I’m being honest, I kind of want to ignore it. And someone should probably clean the house.

Thanks for cheering me on this week, friends! Give the books below a click- clicking on the cover will bring you to the buy links.

She could taste the sting.

Max has been Casey’s hero for years, ever since marrying Casey’s mother. His only flaw is how rigid he is about the rules as long as Casey still lives at home. After missing curfew one night, he won’t let her off lightly. She must choose between being grounded for the summer, or enduring a single spanking that will free her to enjoy her vacation.

Casey makes her choice, but neither she nor Max are prepared for the domino effect a few smacks to her backside will have, or the dark secrets that will be revealed as a result.

Max’s past comes back to haunt him in a big way. Casey is a handful, but his old life as part of a two-man team of Doms provides the perfect skills to handle the curious, headstrong young woman with a taste for the taboo, and he and his best friend Rick are the perfect men to give Casey guidance and help her safely explore her dark cravings. But when Max betrays her and Rick refuses to touch her without Max’s permission, Casey despairs that she’ll ever have them both again.

Casey’s education into her new taboo lifestyle isn’t over yet, but her two favorite Doms might need a little educating of their own.

Sex on the beach with a smoking hot stranger…

I blame the tequila.
And the way he rode the waves like he owned them.
And the delicious way the water trickled down over his washboard abs and the V thingy.
And the fact that I’m on the trip that was supposed to be my honeymoon until I caught the bastard cheating.
Yeah, I’m going to blame it on all that.
Because reckless behavior is so not usually me.
But surfer god Fyn is a breath of fresh air I so badly need.
A break from reality of the world around me.
One he seems to need, too.
It’s a single wild moment in my otherwise structured life that seems to be crumbling.
A perfect snapshot in time…
Until the royal guard shows up looking for him.
Turns out the king of the waves is actually a prince.
A real one next in line for the throne.
And I just banged him on the sand.
People say a one-night stand can be good for you, especially after a break-up.
I’m starting to question that advice.
Because finding my prince is only the beginning…
Things are about to get royally complicated.

Have you ever wanted something you just couldn’t have?

When her mother abandons her, Danica Holland doesn’t want to reach out to her ex-stepfather for help–even though he’s always been the one and only parent she could rely on. But when Social Services intervenes on her behalf, he rushes in with open arms…and broad shoulders, strong hands, and that cleft in his chin that drives women wild.

Working for the Bennett brothers gave Nige purpose, and a way to hide behind screens and technology, avoiding that pesky ‘people’ problem that he’d rather avoid. As the few people in his life started pairing off, or whatever the hell the Bennetts were with Cass, he felt loneliness closing in, like never before.

Being on the wrong side of the law had never been a problem for him, because the lines between good and bad, right and wrong… well, they were just lines, and they could be crossed, without harming others. It was all just business, right?

Ted was new to town, new to Nige’s neighbourhood, and literally crashed into his life without warning. Running from a past that he hoped wouldn’t find him again, Ted never planned to get close to anyone, but something about Nige had him hooked. Was it safe to trust another man, and maybe even find happiness this time? Could he even convince this overly cautious, but charmingly inexperienced man to give him a chance?

Nige’s traumatic past had left him scarred, and fighting severe anxiety, while Ted’s led him to hide in an unknown town, with a new name, keeping secrets he hoped would never be revealed. Falling for each other should have been easy, if not for them being on opposing sides of that line, the one between good and bad, right and wrong, lawful and criminal.

Can love overcome all obstacles, or will the many things standing in their way make it impossible? Can Ted accept Nige’s choices, and can they survive when Ted’s past comes calling?

And beyond all of that, how will the Bennetts react when their relationship puts the entire Bennett empire at risk, and alliances begin to fracture? Will Nige have to choose between his love and his life? Will Ted even survive when his identity becomes known, and two worlds collide?

This is a dark romance story, featuring content which may not suit all readers, or may be triggering. It is a standalone book, with HEA, and the characters will appear again in a future book, but will not be the focus of that book.
