Wicked Surrender Made Me Laugh…and Cry!
March 19, 2024
As I type this up to say Wicked Surrender is now live, I’m amazed by the fact that I am well on the way toward finishing Violent Chaos (Book 5) and that only leaves Desperate Victory (Book 6) to go.
In many ways it feels like I just started this series and yet, I’ve been immersed in this world for years. The roots of this series go back to Vandals, but maybe even further back than you realize.
I’ve been planning BRR since late 2020, early 2021. Even before Savage Vandal released.
The long road from there to here, folded in a lot of changes, shifted the landscape, offered new alliances, unexpected twists, and even more surprising characters (yes, I’m looking at you Bodhi).
What began is Lainey’s story, has inextricably become all of theirs and I am so eager to share the rest with you.
Yes, I ask this every time, but are you ready?
P.S. Deceptive Truce audio will be uploaded soon, so stay tuned for more details!
Are you ready for Wicked Surrender?

Today is the day, the Wicked Surrender cover reveal is here. As with Ezra before him, I knew we’d found Adam from the first glance at this image. Photographer Michelle Lancaster is always fantastic to work with and she can find exactly what I’m looking for. Model Andy Murray is a whole vibe unto himself and our goddess of art and covers, Stephanie Heinritz at Vicious Desires Design brings the magic together.
Releasing March 19th, Wicked Surrender is book 4 of 6 in the Bay Ridge Royals.
Every moment of my life was planned out before birth…
Family legacy dictates everything from type of education to suitability of friends to eligible marriage opportunities to the type of business I’m expected to go pursue. It’s more than just DNA, it’s also about birth order, gender, and unfortunately—the family name.
I was born a Reed and the weight that carries isn’t limited to the doors that it opens, but also the ones it bars shut. When I was tapped for the Royals, I saw my first way out—but it only proved to be a deeper trap.
Every single move I’ve made has been to tear us all free from King, from our parents, from our families—but there is no way out. There is only through.
We can’t break away, we have to take over.Lies, betrayal, family.
The only woman I’ve ever loved is a the center of the board, courted and pursued on all sides by new players and old. There can be no truce.
My best friend? He’s lost his damn mind, avoiding me, and agreeing to plans he swore had long since fallen by the wayside.
Yet here we are. He’s surrendered.
I refuse to accept that.
I refuse to accept it for her, for him, or for us.
If the only way out is to destroy everyone in our path—then that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
WICKED SURRENDER is a full-length mature dark, new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes. Please be aware some situations may be uncomfortable for readers. Trigger warnings can be found in the foreword should you require them. This is book four in a six book series that is a why choose with multiple new adults exploring and coming to terms with their evolving sexuality, identities, and relationships.
Bay Ridge Royals Now on Audio!

Here we go! While Shamelessly Loyal actually released as part of a charity anthology last year, it was released as a standalone in September to be followed up immediately by Battle Lines. Shamelessly Loyal, of course, is a novella that serves both as a bridge for books 4 and 5 of the 82nd Street Vandals and details what Lainey and Milo were doing during those books. It’s also a good base to jump into the rest of the Bay Ridge Royals series as a whole. Book 2, Battle Lines, picks up after the end of the major events in the 82nd Street Vandals.
As a “true” sequel of sorts, we elected to keep all the voices from the Vandals audio books largely because our entire cast of characters were introduced in the Vandals. Do you have to read Vandals first? No. Will you enjoy a deeper understanding? Yes. It’s been my goal from the beginning to make this series as accessible as possible. That said, yes, there’s a lot of crossover between the two series.
Fortunately, Vandals is complete and is also available on audio (and the audio is complete). So if you want to start with the 82nd Street Vandals, head right over Savage Vandal. That would be your starting point.
If you’re ready for the Bay Ridge Royals, you start with Shamelessly Loyal!
As always, I am a huge fan of the multi-cast that works together with the fantastic producers at Audio Sorceress to create this wonderful experience. What a great release week for the Bay Ridge Royals, book 3, Deceptive Truce just released and now we have the first two books in audio! Happy reading!
