Broody Assassins and Found Families, coming right up
Jul 15, 2023 7:31 am
Hello !
Jeez. July is halfway through. It seems like all the deadlines are creeping up on me, but no worries! Deep breath, and I keep on working, right? I can do this!
His Death Bringer is almost here! I'm so excited. This book has gained great traction, and I hope readers enjoy it. It's my darkest book yet! I also have some special covers for you. One is an illustrated cover that's nearly ready to be published, and I made one for those more discrete cover lovers out there. I LOVE making book covers. It allows me to stay in touch with my artistic side.
I also have some special news. I've teamed up with author Joelle Lynne to bring you a special story we've been collaborating on. It's turning out wonderfully, and we've made some awesome progress on it.
And be sure to keep reading my newsletters. Did you know that if you don't open or read newsletters, the algorithm thinks you are inactive and won't send you any more newsletters? So, be sure to read and open it because I have a special short story attached to His Death Bringer coming up, and you don't want to miss it!
Keep reading for more!

Who’s going to catch me when I fall?
Evan
Everything has been taken from me. My home, my family, and the love of my life. Raising a child on my own isn’t how I envisioned my young life full of hopes and dreams. Now, my youth is gone, too. I had been drowning with no way out until him. The one man I didn’t expect to hold my head above water. Simon had married my aunt to hide his secrets, but he’s not afraid of who he is any longer, and is now living a single life. He’s a life force, and my savior when I was all alone in the dark. But he’s become more than just my former uncle, and I want him.
Simon
It was only supposed to be for two weeks to help Evan out as he grieved while trying to care for a newborn. His aunt couldn’t get away, so I stepped in. But he needed more of my time. And during those couple of weeks, I remembered what it was like to have a family and to be part of something important. So, I uprooted my life in New York and moved back to our small town to help Evan and the baby. But everything has become so much more than that. I shouldn’t want him. Not only is he so much younger, but he used to be my nephew. Our families hate us enough, and I just can’t do that to Evan.

He calls me his dark angel, but I’m merely a killer. A bringer of death.
Luca Davenport
He is my angel, sent to be my death bringer to save me from my tormentors and betrayers—those who sold me into slavery when I was only eight years old. Angel came in with guns blazing and black wings that were made to crush his enemies and envelope me in love. He belongs to me, and I belong to him. We are destined. After he saves me from my captors, we hunt down the remaining men who had abused me for eleven years to make them pay in blood.
Dante Varga
He is a broken boy of no more than nineteen. He sees me as an angel, but I’m simply a killer. An assassin for hire. I can’t save him. I can’t take care of him. There’s no room left in my dying soul to care about someone. Not anymore. But I can’t turn him away, either. I should kill him. He’s a witness. But I feel compelled to protect him at all costs. Saving him will either shatter the ice around my heart or destroy me. Either way, Luca is dangerous.

He was my first crush. My forever crush. He was the reason I discovered my true self.
Ferguson
I met Jack Hogan at fifteen years old when my dad took me to watch him box in an underground fight run by the mob. I was instantly drawn to the older man and the reason I discovered I was gay. But that was my secret and burden to bear. A year later, tragedy hit when my parents were murdered, leaving me gutted. Losing my father, who had taught me how to box since I was big enough to throw my first punch, turned me bitter and angry. Jack quickly took up the mantle as a father figure and my best friend while I used boxing to blow off my rage. Years later, Jack pushed me to get out of the underground scene and go pro with him as my manager. After my first win, I finally got to have a taste of Jack, and while it strained our friendship, I craved more. One taste wasn’t nearly enough.
Jack
Ferguson Mulligan thought he could hide his attraction for me. I had known it for years but kept it to myself. I was emotionally unavailable, clinging to another man whom I thought loved me. As nine years progressed, Fergs grew into a man with an amazing talent for boxing. I knew he could succeed at it, so I got him out of the illegal fight scene and into the professional world of boxing. After a night of celebration and too many drinks, I dropped my walls and went to a place I shouldn’t have. I hadn’t been ready to be with anyone else intimately, especially with my best friend. Plus, I was his manager. It was a bad idea all around. But that night awakened something in me, allowing me to see Fergs beyond a boxer and my best friend. I just wasn’t ready. He deserved all of me, not broken pieces.
The two men eventually let go of their fears to grow something deep and meaningful. But could their relationship survive when Fergs finally learned who killed his parents? With a need for vengeance and his temper out of control, it could destroy all they had worked for.

Do you love the Found Family trope in books? I do. Just read my Ohana Surfing Club series. Even my new assassin series, The District, will be about found family in a way. Same with my up-and-coming Alpha's Rejects. All found family. I'm not addicted or anything, lol. Check this out and see all the wonderful LGBTQ+ Found Family books on Kindle Unlimited
