📚 The District - The Assassin Series Continues! 📚
Feb 06, 2025 11:01 am
Hi!
Well, being in the U.S. has been... a tad traumatic. I'm dizzy with the bombardment of news, but I'm trying to maintain my focus on work while trying not to freak out. Regardless, I can't ignore it. There are also valid worries that all outdoor romances will be banned. It's already starting in Oklahoma. If that passes, then it opens the floodgates and we can kiss all romance books that have outdoor 'romance' goodbye. Unless, of course, the courts stop it, which is a possibility. The romance genre is a multi-billion dollar industry, so I'd like to hope there are those who would be willing to at least protect their bottom lines.
I'm also doing what I can for the queer community. I've been doing a lot of donating to important causes and give regularly to ACLU. They're going to need it.
On top of everything else, I've had two different types of flu for almost all of January, which is why I wasn't able to get another newsletter out to you all until now.
It seems like all bad news, but it's not. My youngest son passed his driver's test and is about to get his license. He's very good at it, and extra careful, especially since he's already been in a horrible accident. I'm not nervous. YOU'RE nervous! lol
While I'm still worried and still recovering, I'm caught up on writing for a change lol. I'm wrapping up Alpha & Omega's book and it will soon hit my beta readers. I can't wait until Alpha's book is out in the world. Even better, the anticipated His Reluctant Savior is out in the world tomorrow! ARC readers are really enjoying it so far!
I hope you all are doing well and hanging in there!
Please keep reading. There's a wonderful FREE
Book Event. PLUS... I have a FREE add-on to His Reluctant Savior!

Saving Dalton puts my life at risk with my assassin family, but I owe it to him, and I owe it to myself.

I’m stubborn, but even I can admit I need help from my family and Harley.
Omega (Harley)
Hudson’s mother abandoned us six years ago, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my son’s distraught heart. With therapy and hard work, life is good. I’m the chef and owner of a successful restaurant, and Hudson is thriving. Now I want to date. After meeting Kingston McLaren on a dating app, we hit it off immediately. However, I made the mistake of overstepping my bounds, causing a rift between us. I refuse to let this be the end of us, so I’ll fix this in any way I can. But when Kingston’s world suddenly crumbles, I’ll do whatever it takes to put it back together. It’s time someone took care of him.
Alpha (Kingston)
My family of Rejects and my bar are everything to me. Since they’ve been finding love, they’re convinced I need a love intervention of my own. To get them off my back, I met Harley Creed through a dating app, and we meshed perfectly. But when Harley butts his nose where it doesn’t belong, I’m over it. Alpha’s Rejects Bar is mine, and no one will get in the way of that. Harley is determined to fix things, though, and my heart never stood a chance. But life is good at kicking you in the balls just when you see a light at the end of the tunnel. Now it’s much more than my heart on the line.

SOME MORE EXCITING READS!
Nothing about Em’s life is simple. He’s treated worse than anyone in the house, punished for every minor infraction, and has zero chance of ever escaping his current situation. He dreams that someday he’ll be free of this nightmare and finally find someone who will want to keep him.
That dream may come true sooner than he thinks.
Saros Tancredi is the most dangerous and powerful man in all of Eastbury. The loyalty he has to his family is unparalleled to anything else. When he wants something, he gets it. He rarely worries and lives without fear. All of that changes one night when he’s faced with his own mortality. When it seems like it will all end, out of nowhere, a stranger jumps in and saves his life.
Parker
I knew the minute I broke Marcus’ heart—and my own in the process—that I was making the biggest mistake of my life. But try telling that to the anxious voice in my head, telling me I’m not good enough or how bored he must be with me. I’d give anything for a second chance with him, or at the very least, a chance to apologize. When my best friend’s destination wedding gives her the chance to play ‘match re-maker’ with her brother and me, will he finally listen to what I need to say?
Marcus
One minute, I was looking forward to a future with my soulmate and the next, I was devastated by him ending things with no explanation. He’s tried to call and explain what happened, but I’m not ready to hear. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready. Unfortunately, my twin sister is his best friend, so we’re going to be around each other for the next week. A supposed reservation snafu—that has Kendra written all over it—has me forced to share a room and the only bed in it with him. With my plan of ignoring him now impossible, am I finally ready to hear what he has to say?
Quickest way to catch a killer? Bring the victim back and ask who did it. Only, nothing’s that easy.
When the bodies of young gay men start piling up in London, DCI Ben Weaver would do anything to bring the massacre to an end. Well, almost anything. He didn’t have the powers-that-be recruiting a necromancer on his bingo card. Or who that necromancer would turn out to be.
Griffin doesn’t want to work for CID, but then he has little interest in most things these days unless it involves getting drunk. Especially if it brings Ben back into his life. Ben might be his fated mate, but Griffin refuses to dance to fate’s tune. Not when guilt still gnaws away at him.
Stopping Satanic Romeo from claiming any more victims requires teamwork. But as they try to navigate their feelings and work out the killer’s endgame, he might already have them in his sights.
Who’s hunting who?
Alex
My life is going fine. Okay, it was going fine until I found myself both homeless—my trusty car Trixie on her last leg—and in need of a fake fiancé. What I don't expect is for Jaxon, my long-time crush and the owner of Ink Me, to come swooping in like a knight in shining armor. Now my head and my heart are all confused, and it’s starting to feel like my fantasy has a chance of becoming a reality.
Jaxon
Ink Me is finally running like a well oiled machine, but when my best friend tells me I need a life outside of work, I scoff. Ink Me will always be my life. It's not until Alex runs into a bit of bad luck, and I feel this overwhelming need to help him, that I realize I could be making room in my life for other things. Soon, my priorities begin to shift, and I start to look past my own hang ups and see the future I never knew I needed… with Alex.
All I want is to live an ordinary life, keeping at bay the psychic abilities running in my family. My career as a marketing executive usually keeps me busy enough to avoid them, but lately something is off. When my half-brother Desmond goes missing I know why I am feeling so unsettled. Determined to find him I take to the road and a surprise companion joins me.
Parker, my brother’s ex, stirs strange feelings within me I never thought I’d have for a man. But he’s like a spell and I lose myself whenever I look at him.
Our road trip leads us to a small town where both my psychic abilities and my desire for Parker spiral out of control while my brother’s whereabouts continue to be unknown.
Do Desmond’s seductive tattoo artist and the local chief of police know more than they are letting on? Are they more than what they appear to be?
Calvin
Between my tech firm and family’s endowment fund, there’s no shortage of people trying to get close to me. Offering a trespasser a job to run interference makes no sense, but neither does my instant attraction to sweet, submissive Micah. I never expected to fall in love with a man, let alone be the Daddy who takes on all his burdens.
Micah
My life has never been easy, and my only option left was to sell myself. The intimidating and wildly sexy Calvin Rutledge offers me a lifeline out of the garden shed and off the streets. In exchange for room, board, and a chance at a better future, I would be his companion. But I never anticipated falling in love with my boss or craving the care that comes with being his boy.
