I think that this might be the wrong stage at which to admit my innermost secrets. But can I just say again how much I love sharing this journey with you?
Have you ever awakened in the morning knowing that you are doing exactly what you were made for?
And then the day commences, and in your mind, you quit sixteen times, change your pen name to a swear word, and write a complete scene of someone butchering a rosebush with a weed whacker, in your supposed romance.
Well, I have been there, and let me tell you, there is always this little voice that says, document absolutely everything in case someone wants to mess around with AI on your account.
And all I have to show for all of this are some awkward videos with peeing noises in the background.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to welcome you to my somewhat awkward newsletter.
My hubby and I celebrated an anniversary. Although we have so many that it hardly seems fair to expect gifts every time.
But does that stop me?
Hell no.
And did he get me some gorgeous roses that I now proudly display next to my books? Of course he did. All this made me just consider how lucky some of us are to find someone to love. And for everything else, just read my books.
I officially started Book Five, Sweet Seduction, today.
I have it all in my head and somewhat of a guideline.
If you can call a guideline... a droopy rope attached to the dark side of an abyss with no end in sight.
Yes, that is exactly how I would describe my process.
But can I also say that I love every second?
And since this book starts with an arrest in a sex club, I think I am well on my way.
But since I have given you a clue about the next book, allow me to remind you that Sweet Surrender is releasing this month on the 24th.
And Arc readers are being scarred as we speak by the formidable Claire and somewhat emotional Vlad.
This was a unique type of book for me to write because, as you know, we always have some role-reversal, but this time it was refreshing to see Vlad so in touch with the sensitive reality while Claire was living in Denialville.
If you still haven't checked this out here is a little taster, especially for all my loyal readers.
Sweet Surrender (Book 4 in the Torture Games series) is available now!

BLURB:
What happens when a ruthless Bratva leader in New York and a stubborn, incorruptible ex-cop collide?
She saves his life and becomes the only person he can trust, of course.
Claire Black has always been a straight arrow.
Too straight, some would say.
Coming from a long line of law enforcement officers, it is in her blood to protect the weak and uphold the law.
But the law has failed her time and time again, by being corrupt and siding with the highest bidder in a city where the road to success is paved with criminal intent.
And the brutally handsome offender that she saved tonight is anything but weak.
In fact, Vlad Antonov is the epitome of everything that Claire hates.
Greed.
Selfishness with no regard for others.
But above all, arrogance.
The arrogance to assume that one life is more important than another.
This notion is challenged when Antonov convinces Claire to become his bodyguard and keep him safe until he can identify who is out to kill him or expose the mole in his organization.
Unfortunately for him, Claire is keeping secrets of her own and knows all about his malicious agenda.
Will the forced proximity exacerbate the situation more, or will Claire have to take a hard look at what she has always assumed to be true and the emotions that wreak havoc on her insides?
And will Vlad find a way to free himself from the gnawing self-doubt and the threats to the new life he is trying to build?
But most importantly, what part will Claire play in that new life?
This DARK ROMANCE is filled with twists that will surprise even the strong-hearted.
TW & CW definitely apply.

Aisling ached for the wild taste of open skies, the kind of freedom she was never meant to touch. Trapped beneath the weight of her Merrow blood, she felt the world shrink tighter around her every day, until the night a stranger ripped away the only thing that ever belonged to her. The only thing that made her feel alive.
She never imagined chasing her stolen power would drag her straight into the path of a man who looked at the world like it had already destroyed him. A man with nothing left to lose... and nothing left to give.
Liam Murphy buried his wife and walked away from the Irish Mob, leaving behind the only future he ever wanted. Now, all he has left are ghosts and regrets that taste like ash.
He swore he would never let family loyalty steal another piece of his heart. Not again. Not when the cost is everything.
But now everything, every boundary he set, would be tested.
