Don’t Let Go is the epic conclusion to the Switchboard Duet, where everything you’ve come to love from Talk to Me builds to an electrifying climax. She’s their operator, their switchboard, their eyes in the sky and on the ground. She’s their lifeline. And when she disappears, it’s their turn to save her. Brace yourself for the high-stakes thrill as they dive into a race against time to bring her back.

Available now on audio, this final chapter in the Switchboard Duet features the dynamic duet narration delivered by the incredible Brooke Daniels and John Hartley.

If you’re familiar with my work, you know I’m a huge fan of Brooke Daniels. She’s the perfect voice to bring Fallon (aka Patch) to life, capturing her strength, wit, and vulnerability. As for John Hartley, though new to me, he’s an absolute gem. I’m beyond excited that he’s voicing Locke, Remington, and McQuade. His distinct narrations are just spot-on for these guys, and they’ll have you hooked from start to finish.

So grab you copies and settle in to discover how their dialogue ties them together and reveals the facets of their characters. Discover their secrets, their talents, and just how far they will go to save their girl. I can’t wait to hear what you think. If you want to check out a sample of the audio, just head right over to the page and listen now.

With the upcoming omnibuses for Vandals coming as signing exclusives, I’m making the previously exclusive covers for Vandals special editions available on Amazon in paperback form. You have seen them in the limited hardbacks with diamond gloss and foiling, and they have been available in paperback at signings only, but now you can order them straight from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million or Indiebound. Each detail page in the series has been updated with the links, just scroll down to the bottom and you can go shopping!

At this time, we don’t have a special edition for Dirty Dancer, but we will when Stephanie is up for doing the cover and feeling inspired! As always stay tuned here for all the updates and more. I have been working on this for a while and yes, the Untouchable special edition paperbacks are also going to be listed on Amazon as well! I am so excited to be able to share all of these with you particularly while buried in the writing cave and recovering from the cold that followed me home from Wild and Windy in Arizona. What are you going to do? Looking forward to Sinners and Saints in Florida in March and you can see all of my upcoming signings via the Events tab. 2026 events will be added beginning in June!

Trapped by the men who should be her enemies—can she escape their deadly grip… or will their passion consume her first?

In a game of survival, trust is the deadliest weapon. Caught between her kidnappers and four dangerously alluring captors, one woman will risk everything to uncover the truth—and the cost might be more than she’s willing to pay.

The fight continues this spring. Don’t miss a single moment.

Of all the dreams I’d ever chased, the last thing I expected was for a nightmare to be the one that came true.

I’m no stranger to survival. I’ve always acted a lot tougher than I am, but I’m a big believer in fake it until you make it. But even I couldn’t imagine the relentless pursuit of my former kidnappers, and the only thing standing in their way are four calculating and dangerous men.

Each time I think I’ve found some measure of relief, a new danger threatens to suffocate me. It’s not just about who I can trust anymore. No, everyone has an agenda—even me. Why else would I find myself attracted to the men who are keeping me prisoner?

More unsettling, these handsome, complicated men with fire in their eyes that burns hot and cold, do not appear to be in any hurry to let me go. It’s not up to them. It can’t be.

Not when I need answers. Not when I need to find my sister. Not when every moment that passes is an eternity that pushes her farther and farther away from me. I refuse to bow to anyone or anything.

I’d rather end up a casualty of the hunt than be kept hostage “for my own good” no matter how sexy my jailers are. In this twisted tableau of danger, desire, and deceit, I will take any risk to find her no matter what it costs me.

I like to think I’m a little bit of both. I am so stoked to share Stella, Gem, Ollie, and Seven with you. Tate and I had a blast writing them, and when I say Stella showed up with personality to spare, whew  buddy. Now available everywhere, you can grab with the confidence of the fact we didn’t leave you on a cliffie. *winks*

For those of you wanting the TLDR – Overexposed is a dirty, feel-good rom-com with a generous helping of our humor…

What? I’m just saying!

Go grab your copy, I can’t wait to hear what you think. Tell a friend. Tell two. Make them the gossip.

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this character, this book, this series, and at the same time, I can’t believe Grace, Burn, and the BLOOD Brothers are here. As you may remember, this book went up for preorder on the first day of the year and is now arriving on the last day! Grace Black is the twin sister of Amorette Black, the FMC of the Bastard Brothers of Carnage by my co-wrifey, Blake Blessing. In 2021, Blake was planning the Bastard Brothers and I mentioned I wanted to do Grace’s story and she immediately agreed. For three years, I’ve had these characters living rent free in my head. When it came time to write, the story just flowed…

This is a dark romance, and there are some triggering situations to be found, particularly in the first book. I always detail the triggers in the foreword, so be sure to check that out and look after yourselves. I hope you have the most amazing New Year! Book Two will be here before you know it!

You might have heard of celebrity blind items like:

This A-list action star, known for his tough-guy roles and larger-than-life persona, has a little secret.

Now get ready for more!

o·ver·ex·pose
/ˌōvərikˈspōz/

verb
past tense: overexposed; past participle: overexposed
expose too much, especially to the public eye or to risk.
“anybody in the public eye has situations that make them feel overexposed”

From the authors who brought you I’ll Be Home... comes a brand-new adventure, romance, humor, challenge, and so much more. Overexposed releases in January.

With Dad’s medical bills piling up, the solution to our problems might lie in the world of glitz and glamor, which means following in his footsteps.

I grew up in the whirlwind of celebrity scandals, where every moment is a potential headline. I know the thrill of the “Unicorn List”—the ultimate scoop that could change everything. Unraveling the mysteries of the elusive “Snatch Squad” could be my ticket to salvation.

Plunging into the treacherous depths of sexy sleazy Hollywood allure isn’t my dream scenario. Celebrities thrive on their carefully crafted images, using their personas to rake in cash. They’re the ones who put themselves out there; I’m just giving them what they crave.

But the last thing I want to discover is whether the charming heartthrobs with their scandalous reputations are more than just tabloid fodder.

I’m an adult; I can manage if the lines between truth and desire start to blur. I’ll dive in, even if revealing their secrets costs me my heart…

Available on January 28th, be sure to preorder today! Also don’t miss out on the  limited edition from Novel Grounds with foiled cover and purple pages.

Oh, you have been good or maybe you were perfectly naughty, either way, I’m excited to share that I’ll Be Home… is now available on audio with the fantabulous voices of Michelle Sparks and Lucas Webley as the narrators. When we released this book last year it was the holiday romance you didn’t know you needed or wanted. Even better, it’s a wild romp written with one of my favorite people. Tate James and I really wanted to celebrate holidays right. So what could be better than a dark romance, you know? By the way, it is a dark romance, so be sure to check out the trigger warnings in the foreword. With that in mind, we wanted to drop the audiobook just in time for this year’s holidays.

They say you can never go back…

‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around.

Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie.

I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.

It doesn’t matter what I want, I’m taking the fastest route to the darkest part of my past.

And then I’ll be home…

*Please note this is a reverse harem and the authors suggest you always read the foreword in their books. Contains some dark elements, mature situations, and is definitely intended for 18+.

Prepare for a heart-pounding, mind-bending thriller where survival is the only option, and the price of finding the truth may just be your soul. 

What lines wouldn’t you cross for the people you love? From the moment she woke to the nightmare, Grace understands the danger. In a fight to survive, she descends into a mad world she could never have imagined. The dark, seedy underbelly of everything opulent, gilded, and beautiful. It’s a place where hope and dreams burn and souls never escape, what chance does Grace have?

The fight begins on January 1st. Don’t miss a single moment.

My name is Grace Degas Black.

Years ago, I made a splash during a charity fashion show where an agent “discovered” me. My work led to the glitzy world of haute couture, perfume ads, and more. I was living my best life, traveled the world, and the only thing that would have made it better was if my twin would have come along for the ride.

My other half. My best friend. Then one day, she disappeared.

No one believed me, but I couldn’t escape that sinking feeling of something being terribly wrong. Then the nightmare came for me. I woke up in hell’s waiting room.

Chained.

Taken.

Moved from one location to another, I could only struggle to survive amidst the suffocating fear. Then just as abruptly, salvation came from the most unexpected place. Salvation and retribution.

I wanted my sister back.

But my saviors had no intention of letting me go—not when someone continued to hunt me.

Was it me they were hunting? Or my sister?

I didn’t care what I had to do, but to find her, I would make the world burn. These men were going to help me, they just didn’t know it yet.
