NEW RELEASE! Now Available!

I’m super excited for you to meet Ben and Reggie in Two Weeks in Paradise out TODAY!

This book started out as a group project where we’d each write a vacation story with various levels of kink. As projects are known to do, it fizzled out. However, I already had my story DONE and I loved these two so much, I definitely wasn’t going to scrap it.

Two Weeks in Paradise is a great mix of kinky steam and sweet fluff. It’s a fabulous combination of some heavy topics swirled together with very little angst and lots of fun, sexy times. As far as kink goes, it’s not super kinky. For me, it’s probably the kinkiest story I’ve written to date. You’ll still get an addictive, sexy, emotional romance with a HEA, there’s just a touch of kink thrown in there as well.

Check it out HERE. Huge thanks for purchases, page reads, and reviews.

Ben Stephens adores his daughter, loves making furniture, and is slowly but surely healing from a traumatic past. He’s even almost positive he’s okay with his only child getting married. The tropical destination wedding is outside of his comfort zone, but he can deal with it. After all, it’s for his baby girl, and it’s only two weeks.
Reggie Ward is proud of his son, knows working in theater is his calling, and has learned to cope with his anxiety-fueled ups and downs. Leaving his job and routine for his son’s wedding may send him into a downward spiral. The fact Ben, Mr. Dull and Uncultured himself, will also be on the trip has Reggie spiraling faster. But two weeks in paradise can’t be that bad, right?
Ben and Reggie get off on the wrong foot, but quickly realize they aren’t quite the nemeses they once thought they were. The gut-deep connection and fiery desire that sparks between the two men isn’t something either of them can ignore.
They spend their days adventuring through paradise and their nights exploring steamy kinks. How will Ben and Reggie deal with their island vacation coming to an end? Can either man face their prior lonely existence after they’ve had a taste of what life could be like?
Two Weeks in Paradise is an opposites-attract, forced proximity M/M romance between two widowers nearing fifty. This low-angst love story is perfect for fans of kinky steam mixed with sweet fluff.
Content Warning– this story has mentions of past terminal illness, death of a spouse, domestic abuse, and manipulation by religion. While the kink is on the lighter side, it does include- dirty talk, breeding, light nipple kink, light exhibitionist kink.

Kindle Unlimited or WIDE Platforms

I’m sure you’ve heard some rumblings about the major drop in what Amazon is paying authors in their Kindle Unlimited program. Due to this large decrease, many authors are looking at different book platforms as part of their options for revenue. While I’m not an author who makes writing my full-time job, my income from books took a direct hit with the decrease in what Amazon is paying per page read. That being said, I *do* already have a handful of books available outside of Kindle Unlimited (which means they are available for sale on Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, Barnes & Noble, my Payhip website, Smashwords, and Kobo—where they’ve just been enrolled in Kobo Plus which is an exciting new subscription service) and I already had plans for my Blueridge Junction Boys to leave Kindle Unlimited and move to these wide platforms (these three titles and the box set are now available on ALL platforms!). The BJ Boys are still available on Amazon, just not to borrow on Kindle Unlimited (this was a decision I made last year because these titles just aren’t making any money in KU these days).

Moving forward, I will let readers know when books will be leaving Kindle Unlimited if I’m able. To that point, Power Struggle and Buried Secrets will possibly be leaving Kindle Unlimited in early May. What this means for you is that you’ll want to read those titles on KU if you haven’t already. They will continue to be available for permanent purchase on Amazon and all of the platforms listed above.

I’m not choosing to leave Kindle Unlimited completely at this point (and my actions *now* don’t mean I won’t at some point move these books back into KU) but I’ve been considering taking my lower earning books wide for a while and the huge decrease in pay from Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited this past month simply encouraged my decision.

Looking ahead, I predict His Reluctant Cowboy and Take Me Home may be the next titles to move from Kindle Unlimited in June and July respectively.

At this point, my plan for future releases is to release into Kindle Unlimited first and consider going to wide platforms later. Depending on what Amazon does with their KU program, this plan is subject to change.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Kindle Unlimited as both an author and a reader. However, from a business perspective, I have to keep an eye on my bottom line. When a large company continues to take and take and take from its authors, it’s only best practice to look into additional options.

Finally, my books aren’t going away 🙂 some of them will just be available on additional platforms along with Amazon in the future.

Justin plans to put his business and baking skills to good use once he owns the small-town coffee shop of his dreams. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to make his dreams come true. If that means involving an unsuspecting silver fox in his scheme, so be it.

Morgan knows moving to Briarton was the right step in getting his life back on track. A case of mistaken identity lands Morgan right in the middle of young, handsome Justin’s completely unexpected plan. Morgan should just say no, but something deep inside urges him to take a chance.

Will Justin and Morgan complete the terms of their unconventional deal? Or will they finally admit there’s more between them than they first realized?

**The Perfect Blend is a steamy, M/M age-gap, marriage of convenience, coffee shop romance.**

Both men had pretty much given up on finding their forever, but fate was just waiting for the right time.
Charlie moves to small-town Briarton with plans to live his quiet life as a writer. He’s resigned himself to being alone and isn’t expecting anything different from his new home. But a coffee mix-up brings him face-to-face with a man Charlie had decided didn’t really exist.
Nixon is grateful for a new job in a new town. He’s ready to leave the past in the past and settle down. He’s not actively looking for a relationship—that’s never worked out for him before—but he can’t deny the instant connection he has with his newest patient’s nephew.
Is it too late for Charlie and Nix to find their happily ever after? Or will they accept fate’s gift and allow themselves a love they thought they’d never find?

**Perfect Timing is a steamy, M/M romance with an introverted, demisexual writer and a big, soft teddy bear of a nurse trying to navigate a love they’ve always dreamed of but most definitely weren’t expecting.**

Out-and-proud volunteer dance instructor, Reid Alexander, is a California boy accustomed to living in flashy luxury. He is less than thrilled upon inheriting his late grandfather’s South Dakota horse ranch. Yet he must endure three months of cowboy hell before he can even consider selling the property.
As the ranch foreman, Walker Corrigan’s entire life is Pine Ridge. When Reid arrives with cold-hearted plans to sell, Walker endeavors to endear the place to the younger man.
Reid is unprepared for the sudden attachment to Walker, the land, and – unbelievably enough – the horses.
Walker’s long-suffering heart takes an unexpected gallop straight toward Reid. Both men are on-board with exploring their relationship, and Reid discovers ranch ownership is more gratifying than he’d once imagined.
But Reid is forced to reconsider his place on the ranch when threats put the property and employees in danger.
Menacing events call Reid’s integrity into question, and he considers saving everyone the hassle and throwing in the reins. But how can he leave when his heart now feels at home on Pine Ridge Ranch and in Walker’s arms?
