Happy New Year!

I hope this is a good one. For all of us! 2023 was weird and chaotic, and I really need some order and peace in my life. Less stress, too. I think the stress is killing all of us. So, here's to a better year!

We're kicking off 2024 with a brand new book series. Everyone loved Arranged Monster Mates so much that Layla Fae, Eden Ember and I decided to do another shared series. Cassie Alexander joined us.

You know all this, of course. I just wanted to remind you that the first book comes out next week, on January 10. And then the next books, one week apart.

Oh, and I have some more news! I opened my own RedBubble store. I don't know if you ever shop from there, but I thought it would be a great place for stickers and other book merch. So far, I've made a collection for Wed to Krampus, and another one for Guarded by the Golem. Check them out! I intend to do giveaways where I offer stickers and notebooks, but it will have to wait until the end of January. I have a little trip to London planned.

Okay, here are the books that will launch this month. They will all be in Kindle Unlimited, too.

Guarded by the Golem

Morals have no place in my line of work.

Monster Security Agency stands on neutral ground. As long as the client pays, we don't question their motives. Especially when the job is as easy as the one I’m on now.

All I have to do is stand guard outside a steel door in a mad scientist's basement. I don't even need to know who or what I'm guarding.

Then one day, I peek behind the door. From the farthest corner of the basement, bright blue eyes stare at me. Dark hair, fair skin, tear-streaked cheeks, and lips sealed with duct tape. I am doomed.

This woman is my mate. I know that with rock-solid conviction, and I don't care how much I'm being paid to keep her here.

Guarded by the Chimera

It’s hard for people to see my heart when I’m known for my ferocity.

I’ve learned to hide my feelings and do my job. When I’m hired to protect a billionaire heiress on a humanitarian mission to South America, I think it’s business as usual. Then I see her. I catch a whiff of her unique scent, and I know she is my mate. The mate I never thought I’d find.

She doesn’t want anything to do with me, though. She’s feisty, determined, and fully focused on her work. She has no time for romance, and even if she did, she would never choose me, her bodyguard.

Next thing I know, her life is threatened, and she still ignores me. Tough luck. I will protect her whether she likes it or not.

Guarded by the Snake

She stole her way into my cold, serpent heart like a thief in the night.

The tiny human hires me to shield her from the vengeance of a powerful organization. There’s nothing wrong with that, except she stole from them, got caught, and now I have to clean up her mess. Add to that her incessant chatter, and I’m in for the most unpleasant job in my career.

Until her enemies bring out the big guns, turning the irksome protection assignment into a lethal fight for survival. Necessity pushes my principal closer and closer—too close for comfort. Forced to hide in small spaces, her skin rubbing against my scales, her warm breath on my face, my exasperation gives way to lust.

It’s just physical attraction, I tell myself. All I want is to bury my two spikes in her tight body and feel her writhing under me in pleasure. Nothing more than that. Because it’s impossible I could want her–the annoying, ballsy little thief who makes the sun shine with a smile.

One thing is certain: this is no longer just a job. I’ll butcher everyone who wants to hurt her.

Guarded by the Spider

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

For my kind, to be without a mate is to be doomed. I know it is too late–all that awaits me is retirement and death, and I’ve embraced it.

But when a suicide mission lands on my old boss’s desk, I’m the one he calls. Who better to tackle the mission in the deep, oppressive mines of my own ancestral homeland, if not an Arachnae already slated to die? And it’s not a rescue mission–he wants me to retrieve the corpse of a billionaire’s daughter kidnapped by a terrorist organization.

Except our intel was wrong.

She’s alive. Tortured and injured–but alive.

And from the moment I scent her, I am certain she’s my mate.

She cowers in fear when she sees me, yet I will stop at nothing to protect her.

And now that I have a reason to live…a whole lot of people are going to die.

See you soon!
