LATEST NEWS & UPDATE:
Howdy, readers!
How has Stolen Rival already been out for a week? Have you read it yet? Is it still on your TBR? Did you even know I had a new release?
It feels like it's been coming for so long and now it's out there time is passing in a blur. Thank you to everyone who has read Sorcha and Patrick's story and given me a chance. I know mafia/darker romance isn't something I've dipped my toe into before, but if you've picked it up and given it a read - even if it's not your jam... thank you.
To be frank, if I hadn't written that cowrite with Tracie, I'd probably have had to take an extended leave of absence because of my injury. I'd sunk so low within myself that I just couldn't find the joy. I had to keep reminding myself that I used to love what I do, each book used to be fun, and things had gotten dark, and hard.
Jumping head-first into a new sub-genre with one of my best friends was a gamble, but we figured no matter whether it sank or swam, it would be worth it for the fun we had together during the process.
Anyway, thank you all for making Stolen Rival my most successful series starter to date. I can't tell you how grateful I am to each and every one of you, from the bottom of my heart.
I know so many of you are already impatient for Liam's story, but you have a while to wait yet. Tracie and I won't be sitting to write it until early 2026, but as you can tell from the chapter teaser at the end of Stolen Rival, Rebel is going to be just as explosive for Liam!
If you're a local reader, please don't forget that we are having a launch party for Stolen Rival next Thursday, 18th September at the Pavilion Bar in Belfast. You can learn more about the event here - we will both be in attendance, and there will be CAKE! I am so excited!!
Did you have a favorite scene in Stolen Rival? A favourite quote or moment between our beloved characters? If so, hit reply and tell me all about it!
I've had my share of puck bunnies, but this one was different.
If hockey romance is more your jam, here's this month's freebie: Dirty Secret by Mira Lyn Kelly! This book has dual POV, secret relationship, captain's sister (off-limits!!), and she fell first—he fell harder.
Until next time, happy reading!!

I’ve had a thing for Abby Taylor since the moment I met her.
