Merry Christmas, my Wylde-lings!

I am super late, I know. I've been meaning to send this email for days, but I had to make the deadline for uploading Thing of Ruin to Amazon (more on that later), and I had to work from morning to late at night, then pull an all-nighter for the final edits, which I haven't done since university. At 37, let me tell you, no one should pull all-nighters.

Back to the scope of this email. I wanted to let you know that Guarded by the Symbiote came out. It released on the 22nd. Go read it, because this book is HOT. And obviously, our symbiote hero is based off Venom... sort of, loosely... What I'm saying is that if you want to imagine Venom while you read the book, I definitely won't mind. Haha!

Read it in Kindle Unlimited!

The second she lets me in, I’m a ruined man.

I’ve been merging with hosts my entire life. Slipping under their skin, living in their minds, protecting them – it’s what I do. I’m a professional, and I keep my distance.

Then I’m hired to be her bodyguard.

An undercover cop infiltrating the deadliest criminal organization in the country, and I’m her hidden weapon. Merged with her body, experiencing her every thought, her every desire. I’m supposed to protect her and stay detached.

But her thoughts unravel me. The fantasies she’s been hiding drive me insane. She wants to surrender, to be claimed by someone strong enough to handle her intensity. And I’m a monster too dangerous for anyone to want.

I become addicted and terrified, knowing that when I must separate from her, I'll leave my sanity behind.

Guarded by the Symbiote isn't the only Monster Security Agency book that came out this month. Cassie Alexander published Guarded by the AI on December 19, so go check it out! This book is hot, amazing, deep, and controversial.

This time, Layla Fae hasn't joined me and Cassie in the December round of Monster Security Agency. But she does have a new release this month, and it's the third book in her Jaga and the Devil Trilogy, so if you haven't yet started on this trilogy, this is the perfect time to binge.

So, you know, in the end... you still get books from each of us this December. Haha!

I am broken. A piece of my soul burned away, leaving me hollow and unfeeling. I wander the caverns of Nawie, the only place that’s not entirely unsafe. When I can’t stand the boredom of a life with no meaning, I amuse myself watching Woland’s pitiful attempts to atone.

He grovels. He begs. He brings me gifts. His despair grows deeper with every shake of my head. Oh, how well he lies.

Little does he know, nothing will make me trust him again. And if that broken part of my soul ever heals, I will rip it out and destroy it.

Because Woland was right. Love is a terrible weakness.

And in case you don't have enough books to read this holiday season, here's another one to check out! Brand new on the paranormal romance scene, Dame Rho brings you Prince of Lust!

Forgive my trespasses, for I’m but a lowly mortal, a weak prey amongst gods who would seek the destruction of my soul by tainting it with their filth. Salvation isn’t what I seek in Oliver’s arms; it’s his darkness that calls to me, whipping my body into a frenzy. He exists to steal my heart, my soul. Oh, how I offer it so willingly, even when I know better.

I know he will destroy me, but unlike that unsuspecting moth, drawn into the light of a bright flame, I’m eager for my own demise. I yearn for his destruction. I want it, to be part of it, a part of him. Suddenly, Hell looks like an inviting, new neighbor.

Do I want to be a good girl, the one I’ve been conditioned to be, or do I want to writhe in the waves of his shadows for all eternity? Is my soul as filthy as his deeds?

I will see you soon in another email, where I tell you all about Thing of Ruin - coming in just two days!!! There's a lot to say, I have new art to show you... My husband even made a teaser trailer for it... It's been insane.

This book is insane.

What I can tell you is that I was NOT okay when I finished it, and you will NOT be okay when you read it.

I believe this might just be the best book I've written so far. You'll tell me in the reviews, but the amount of heartbreak I gave myself while writing it felt cathartic.

Happy holidays, and happy reading!
