When We Were Young turns 1! #coverreveal #holidayromance #singledadromance #secondchanceromance #highschoolreunion #steamyromance #contemporaryromance #hefallsfirst #romancereaders

When We Were Young was published one year ago today! 

For the anniversary of The Bittersweet Duet, I want to reintroduce you to Kate and Sam! 

We've done new covers for this momentous event that you'll see below.

*High-school BFFs
*20th high school reunion
*Second chance
*He falls first in the present
*Single dad hero
*Very steamy
*He's a bit alpha
*Holiday feels
*HEA

When We Were Young - Bittersweet Duet #1 - Smashwords | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Eden Books | Google Play | Amazon | Kobo |

Kate was my best friend and secret dream girl and I let her go.

Twice.

Yeah, I know, not my finest moments, but they seemed right at the time.

Now, she’s back in town for our twentieth high school reunion and I want to know everything—especially did she miss me? A newly-single dad of little ones, my focus shouldn’t be romance, but Kate was always my weakness.

She makes me feel alive for the first time in months, I’ve missed our closeness from the past, and Mom loves her like a daughter. My kids even like her instantly. I want her no matter how much it complicates our lives.

Kate Carson will finally be mine.

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Begin the Blood & Bone Series with this FREE book, available at your favorite book retailer! There are 4 books in this rockstar romance series so far.

Click here to download now!

Blood and Bone: A Second Chance, Friends-to-Lovers, Rockstar Romance (Blood and Bone Series Book 1)

A steamy, exciting, and emotional rock star romance with a bit of a slow burn, a love triangle and a '90s grunge aesthetic.

Two Days, One Interview, Twenty-Five Years of Rock 'N Roll. Telling his story might just repair past relationships and ignite new ones.

Jack O’Donnell is a middle-aged rock star with a long history of bad decisions. When unimaginable circumstances bring Jack and journalist Erin Langford, together, the two embark on a journey through Jack’s past where he recounts the rise and fall of his band and the profound bond he shared with his former bandmate and collaborator.

Erin Langford is a seasoned journalist tasked with writing a piece on Jack O’Donnell for a popular music website. While she had preconceived notions about Jack’s rock star image and evasive nature, she learns there is far more to his story than just the headlines. As Jack reveals the heart-wrenching details of his past, the feature she thought she was going to write, turns into so much more.

Blood & Bone is the first novel in the Blood & Bone series which must be read in order for the best reader experience,

Jack’s story is perfect for readers who love a damaged redeemable rockstar, alpha heroes, love triangles, smart strong heroines, second chances, friends to lover’s, a bit of a slow burn, a touch of humor, emotional love stories with a lot of angst, and plenty of steam.

Content Warning: This book also contains some sensitive subjects about abuse, addiction and suicide. Please take care while reading.


Summer Sizzlers 1 and 2 are still available, but only for a limited time, so grab these free sets before they're gone!

And finally:

If you like a little more spice, Ellis O. Day's The Dom's Submission is only $0.99 until Sept. 25! Click here - normal price is $3.99!

Terry is rich, attractive and all Dom. When he sees something he likes, or more accurately, something his d**k likes, he gets it.

His women are hot, successful and experienced in BDSM.

Until, he meets Maggie.

She’s not at all his usual type. She’s round, lush and a hot-mess of a woman.

It’s obvious she doesn’t belong at La Petite Mort Club and he can’t help following her. She needs someone to look out for her. She’s a little rabbit in a club full of predators.

When she gets herself into a situation, he has no choice but to rescue her.

When he realizes that she’s a natural submissive and innocent of the kinkier side of sex, he’ll stop at nothing to have. He can’t wait to show her how good it’ll feel when she surrenders to his desires.

Maggie had no idea that the club she was going to was a “sex” club.

She tries not to look, but there are people doing it everywhere. She is not getting turned on by it. Not at all. Really, she isn’t.

All she has to do, is find her friend and get out of there. Of course, that’s easier said than done.

Not only has she bumped into just about every person in the club, but one of the men—a very handsome and extremely rude stranger—not only follows her, but suggests that they “do it” in the hallway. As if she’d ever do something like that. She’s a recently divorced, mother of three, not some wild, young woman.

She tells him, in no uncertain terms, what she thinks of his suggestion but then, she finds herself in a dangerous situation.

Will the rude stranger save her, or will he turn out to be even more dangerous than the others?

If you enjoy steamy, second chance, contemporary, erotic romantic comedy, then you'll love this story. Most of us can relate to Maggie - a curvy, divorced, single mother of three who yearns to feel like a woman - sexy and desired. Terry is just the alpha male Dom who's ready to show her how hot and good it can be between them. This is the second chance for both of them, but are either of them brave enough to risk it all for love.

Thanks for supporting Michaela and Lincoln! 

Save it to your TBR list on Goodreads

Lincoln and Michaela were introduced in A Rockstar Christmas Wedding.

Lincoln Adams is only supposed to be a drunken mistake, the consequence of a little too much Christmas wedding eggnog. Once he’s asleep, I sneak out of his apartment expecting to never see the drummer again.

Except I left my guitar at his friend’s house. 
And my earring on his floor.

An earring he uses to leverage me into a lunch date where he starts chipping away at the armor erected around my heart while heating up my body with a need I’ve never felt before. One last indulgence before making it clear I won’t do a relationship ever again.

Until a surprise mutual connection brings us together for a week of sharing and sensual delights.

What happens in Virginia can stay in Virginia—right?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

The Bassist (West Coast Soulmates #1)

What is an L.A. rockstar doing in Big Bear on Christmas Eve?

A sudden, strong blizzard has submerged the mountain in snow, keeping my family home. Resigned to spending my first Christmas as a widow alone, I’m startled by someone pounding on my cabin door—a handsome man carrying a guitar and needing shelter.

Dylan is sweet, funny, and the complete opposite of my former husband. As we get to know each other, he’s so damn hot I can’t resist learning what he has to offer.

Is this a single night of passion, or the beginning of lasting love?

This story is intended for readers over the age of 18 due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

A Rockstar Christmas Wedding first chapter preview #sneakpeek #ChristmasRomance #holidayromance #RockstarRomance #romanceauthor #newrelease



A ROCKSTAR CHRISTMAS WEDDING 

West Coast Soulmates #4 

Organizing a Christmas Day wedding in two weeks is insane.

Dylan proposed the week of Thanksgiving and suggested a Christmas wedding. We met on Christmas Eve, but he means this year. It’s a private argument I’m winning—until he tells his rockstar friends and their wives who are my best gals. Now everyone’s excited!

Complicating things? I took a pregnancy test the day before that proposal, Dylan lives in L.A., and I live in Big Bear. That baby’s coming in six-ish months, so we need a house, which I have on the mountain—we met in a snowstorm—but he doesn’t want the two-hour commute.

It’s the first big test of our relationship and it scares me.

Which will win—my practical side or the magic of the season?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations. Picks up where The Keyboardist ended and is a sequel to The Bassist.

Bittersweet Duet #1 - His Weakness - Smashwords | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Kobo | Goodreads

Bittersweet Duet #2 - Her Strength - Smashwords | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Kobo | Goodreads

This duo will be released first as a Smashwords pre-sale exclusive. What does that mean? A pre-sale allows select customers to purchase and receive the book early before the general release date.

In contrast, pre-order customers must wait until the book’s public release date before they can read the book, like making a reservation.

So, while these books are on pre-order for retail stores, my superfans will get to read them months in advance for a special price. How do you get notice?

Duet #1 - 


Kate
Once upon a time, I wanted Sam to be my first everything. Coming into my life as my piano teacher’s son, he was my ally, buddy, best friend, and unrequited crush.
I kept silent on that last part. Our friendship was precious to me.
I thought it was important to him, too.
Going to separate universities proved me wrong.
Then I became my newly-paralyzed little brother’s guardian at twenty while burying our father and little sister and romantic notions were set aside. We had to survive. I had to be practical. I needed to give my little brother the best life possible.
Sam
Losing touch with Kate was my one regret in life. Most kids think they’ll have their high school friends forever. In reality, you might keep one past your college years. Life moves on.
I married sensibly—so I thought—and had two kids. Mandy and I had been in an awkward phase since our son’s birth, but I thought it was natural. The adjustment of bringing a second child into the home, or maybe post-partum depression. Then she told me she was leaving me for our pediatrician and had filed for legal separation.
That was ten weeks ago.
I’ve been working out the divorce details and our last act as man and wife will be attending my twentieth high-school reunion. Mandy values public opinion, so I’ve given her privacy in exchange for full custody of our kids, but I’m not looking forward to the charade. I don’t know how I’ll stomach smiling through small talk with her hand on my arm.
Until seeing Kate again rouses feelings long buried. She makes me feel alive for the first time in months, I’ve missed our closeness from the past, and Mom loves her like a daughter. My kids even like her instantly, and I start dreaming again for the first time in years. I want her no matter how much it complicates the weekend.
Kate Carson will finally be mine.
This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.


Duet #2 -


Kate
Sleeping with Sam the second time might’ve been the stupidest thing I’ve done in thirty-eight years. Everyone knows long-distance relationships don’t work and I went home after Christmas thinking I’d done the right thing.
Then he shows up at my door with my favorite pizza and wine and says he loves me.
Sam
I’ve never been a quitter, so when Kate ran, I left the kids with Mom and followed. I have until my plane leaves January 1 to convince her to act on our connection and take a chance on me, distance be damned. She slipped away from me twice before. I won’t let it happen again.
Kate
Sam offers me things no other man ever has, but long-distance terrifies me, especially when he wants me there with him now. His patience won’t last forever and it feels like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Then he pushes for more at the same time my world is turned upside-down and it’s too much.
If I’m already losing everything, why not him, too?
Our timing has always sucked.
Then fate puts me back in California again.
And this time, I know I love him back.
This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.


Mr. Perfect

Shy and socially-anxious Kimmie's father gets a job transfer during her last college year, forcing her to go with him or stay in the only town she’s ever known, and she’s not ready to be alone.
Kimmie’s best friend Erin insists she move in, putting her down the hall from her crush Justin.  He’s been Mr. Perfect since he and Kimmie met at age twelve, excelling at everything including kindness.  A Christmas party kiss might move them out of the friend zone, but she doesn’t trust it as genuine romance.
