When I'm engrossed in a story, as I am at the moment with third book in The Bachelor Pact, I typically write every day. This keeps me “living" in the town without missing a beat. Writing at coffee shops, as a passenger princess on trips, etc. isn't new to me. But this past weekend, I dropped off my high school senior at her new college for the afternoon to try out for their cheer team. It took longer than usual to jump into my words as I sat at Dunkin, wondering. . . how is my baby girl heading to college? This is a forewarning to all you that I might need some support this fall. So this week, I'm just over here writing away and appreciating life since, as they say, time really does fly. And also loving this friends to lovers story soooooo much! 

Big news today! Book #2 in the newest series, Knight School Chronicles, is FREE until May 1st. To Protect is a “wrong side of the tracks” (earl's son and lady's maid) with charmer hero who finally meets his match. Grab it for zero pennies and make sure to catch up with book one of the series, To Honor, first.

 

As I said above, The Bachelor Pact #3 is coming along so well. But of course, we have #2 first, and I have an official release date. Mark your calendar for Desired Hearts, coming July 20th! I even have a blurb too:

Parker 

All I ever wanted was to be part of a family. But that’s what I found in The Bachelor Pact. And that is why I’ve moved into Mason’s inn in Cedar Falls. To help with the renovations and plan my next move. I wasn’t looking to meet anyone, but sometimes people are meant to show up in your life I guess. Delaney is everything I didn’t know I was looking for. But I made a promise to the guys…never stay the night.

 

I should know better than to fall for the dirty-talking confirmed bachelor Parker. But no one said anything about getting stuck in a cozy, snowbound log cabin together and indulging in a scorching, no-strings fling! Parker Scott may have a reputation as “the nice guy,” but he’s also a ruggedly sexy commitment-phobe who does more than just sweet-talking! So despite the sizzling chemistry crackling between us, I don’t take his flirty innuendos too seriously. And that suits me fine, I’ve sworn off relationships for good. But everything changed that weekend. Now I’m hopelessly addicted to Parker’s unique mix of tenderness and sin. Was this eternal bachelor perhaps not so sworn to the pact after all?

Start the series with book one, Fallen Hearts, if you haven't jumped in already!

Romantasy readers are a passionate crowd. The bad news for an author is, if fantasy readers don't like something, they tell you in no uncertain terms. But the good news, if they love a story, they scream it from the rooftops. So you can imagine my reaction when a new-to-me reader slid into my DMs to say, “I just finished Tide of Waves and Storms and am so obsessed with this story. I want to live in Thalassaria.” Honestly, I do too and wish we could all vacation there together. Just twelve more days until you meet Rowan and Nerys! Pop onto your Goodreads TBR and/or preorder the book here. Also, check out this cool video my publisher made of the aesthetic. I LOVE it!! 

Congrats Joanne CF who won this month challenge by sending me the finished quote. I entered all into a random drawing, and she won the prize, a signed paperback of her choice. Joanne picked Billion Dollar Date, a great choice!
