Hello !

I have a few updates, all exciting! First of all, the Arranged Monster Mates series already has 5 books out! Are you in the mood for an ice giant, a minotaur, a wolfman, a phoenix, or a dragon? All of those are waiting for you, ready to hop onto your Kindle! These are bite-sized novellas that you can read in one sitting, and every one has romance, spice, and a panty-melting monster, if you know what I mean - wink, wink.

Wed to the Phoenix by Eden Ember and Wed to the Dragon by Cara Wylde are new additions to the series, so definitely check them out if you haven't yet. My book, Wed to the Orc, will go live on Wednesday!

Wed to the Orc

It's now with my editor getting polished for you. And I just wanted to tell you, this book was so much fun to write! After working on the dark, complex story of Mr. Hyde, I really needed a bit of a palate cleanser, and my orc romance was perfect for that.

It's a cute arranged marriage novella with my take on the grumpy x sunshine trope. Lundark, our MMC, is an orc scientist and a taciturn recluse who needs a wife to get his orc urges out of his system.

And Ina is exactly what he needs, if not what he wants at first. Determined, cheerful, and nosy, she does her best to draw him out of seclusion and get him to behave like a proper husband.

Guys, the conflicts, the banter, the spice... Mmm, I loved writing this book! Hope you have fun reading it!

In other news

Lundark is a bona fide workaholic, and I had no problem writing him, because I am one as well. Example? Well, I planned to give myself a bit of a break after completing Wed to the Orc. But the more I write, the more I need writing to function, so I already planned something for this "break". I'll write a free novella for my subscribers!

Technically, it's not proper work, so I feel justified. But see, it's a win-win, right? You get a free book and I get to write! Everyone's happy^^

I'm also working on Falling for Mr. Hyde paperbacks, and they should go live within a few days. I'll also do my best to adjust the rest of the series so all those books can look fabulous lined up an a shelf. If not yours - if you're predominantly a Kindle reader like myself - then mine, at least.

And I also wanted to tell you what I'm currently reading. Yesterday, I started Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood. I had to get it after I saw Dramione fans say the book gave them Dramione vibes. If you don't know - Dramione is a Harry Potter ship, and it's Draco + Hermione. I'm a huge fan, and I've been reading Dramione for over 15 years now. So when I heard about those vibes in the new Hazelwood romance, I had to grab it.

And from what I've read already, I can confirm^^ The book starts amazing, and I really like the characters, so can't wait to get back to reading once I'm done with work for today.

So, that's it from me! Below, you'll find a few more recs from my books and others, and preorders for books I'm waiting for. I'll be back next week with more news and books.

Stay horny!
