Weekend Update!
Jan 31, 2026 5:11 pm
Hi everyone! This week we had clean up day in the neighborhood. What this means is you can put all the crap you do not want in a big pile in front of your house and your garbage company will take it all away. They have this two or three times per year and the last one was when I was in Australia so our pile did not make it out front. Needless to say I am THRILLED that the old mattress, bbq grill and patio table are now gone. The squirrels had been taking stuffing out of the mattress to line their nests so I don't think they were thrilled. LOL
This week I watched The Boyfriend series on Netflix. If you haven't watched it, it's very cute, and this season is very different than the first season. This one there is a little more drama but they really are great episodes and fun to watch. I also watched Tron Ares recently. I saw the originial Tron at the theatre and I loved the second one, this one is just as good and I really hope there is more to come. It's a fun world. And of course I'm still at the cottage so I'll be watching Heated Rivalry every day or so.
I'm writing Cold Blooded and it's fun going back to my hockey guys, but I did need to fill out a spreadsheet with all the players and teams. It's a lot to keep track of and I'm not really good with so many characters. HOPEFULLY this helps. I've decided I'll release Cold Blooded in March and I'll release Digging at the end of February. There are only two more chapters after this one so that should be perfect timing!

The Lobbyist
The Lonely Heroes Series Spinoff
Power Players Book 2
https://books2read.com/TheLobbyist
What happens to a powerful man when he becomes a moving target? A hero must emerge to remove the bullseye from his back! Welcome to Washington, DC, where the Power Players are more intriguing than anything happening under the Capitol Dome.
Lobbyist Sean Fitzpatrick is a force on Capitol Hill, crusading for the rights of those in need of a champion. Women. Minorities. His own rainbow community. He doesn’t back down from a fight, even though sometimes his means to an end aren’t exactly ethical.
When he finds out his assistant and sometimes friend-with-benefits is shopping his dirty laundry to the highest bidder, Sean takes the matter in hand and fires the young man. A few days later, Sean’s car blows up in the garage of his office building, bringing Sean into the spotlight in a very unflattering way.
Jericho Hess served his country until an accident brought about his medical discharge. The desire to serve his country doesn’t disappear as he fights his personal demons, and when he gets a chance to be of service to someone who needs protection, he steps in at the urging of a few Lonely Heroes.
Upon meeting Sean Fitzpatrick, Jericho is attracted to the man’s no-nonsense approach to grabbing life by the balls and hanging on, devil be damned. Can Jericho, a real-life cowboy, ever adjust to the man’s sometimes caustic attitude and keep the man alive, even though Jericho would like to strangle him on occasion. Could Sean ever enjoy life on the ranch without all the trappings of his free-wheeling Washington, DC, lifestyle?

MM Romance, Rock Band, Old Grudges, Band Reunion, Daddy Kink
Spencer
After years away from the spotlight, lead guitarist and vocalist Spencer is finally returning to Black Shadows. The comeback depends on bringing back the two members he can’t stand, the same men who nearly destroyed everything once before. Old grudges, buried secrets, and unresolved betrayals threaten to blow the reunion apart before it even begins.
Jamie
Jamie thought life with Spencer in Beverly Hills was solid. He’s balancing UCLA nursing classes, a future he’s fighting for, and a relationship he trusts. Until he learns Spencer will be performing with Spencer’s ex, who left scars on his daddy. Suddenly, the home they built together doesn’t feel so steady. Running feels safer than staying.
Now Spencer is caught between the band that made him… and the boy who became his home. If he can’t convince Jamie to stay—and keep the past from tearing them apart—he might lose the two things he loves most.
The men of The Road to Rocktoberfest are back and this time they’re playing for keeps. Whether on the stage or at home they love just as hard as they play. So, hop onto the tour buses and join us on the path to stardom!

MM Romance | Trust Issues | Self-Exile | Hidden Identity | German Professor | Russian Mafia Son
✮✮ ✮ ✮
Adrik Marinov spent his life running from a mafia throne he never wanted. Raised in the shadows by a ruthless Russian father, he learned to lead with violence and trust no one. Adrik finally walked away from the family empire, but he couldn’t forget who he was. Restless and guarded, he was a man looking for an escape, haunted by the fear that he’d never be free as long as his father was still breathing.
Hans Schoroeger was a quiet professor living in Germany who thought his heart was safer behind books than with a person. He had traded heartbreak for books and the ocean, convincing himself he was better off alone. Deep down, he still craved to be someone’s “only choice.”
One is running from a Russian crime empire. The other is a professor/novelist who gave up on happy endings.
