G'day, ,

I hope this email finds you well. This year is flying by so quickly that I was shocked to notice we're already halfway through March!

I'm not sure if I told you, but my paperbacks are now stocked in Lilac and Lotus in Fremantle, about 25 minutes from home. Since I dropped off my first delivery, I've had to restock twice! It's fantastic to see my books getting out and about and finding new homes.

Did I tell you I took to my hair with scissors for the second time? This time I really messed it up (those damn TikTok videos make it look so easy). It was so wonky at the back that I had to wear it in a ponytail every day. 🤣 I got brave enough yesterday to visit the hairdresser so they could fix it—Yay! I never used to cut my hair like I have in recent months. I mean, when I was younger, I'd trim my fringe (bangs) but nothing like what I've been doing. I'm not sure what's going on with me, but my youngest son says he can't trust me at home alone with scissors anymore. Whoops!

At least it's straighter than this now! 😝

I typed 'the end' and completed the bonus epilogue for Lincoln and Sophie's story. It's currently being put through the editing process and will be ready to send to the anthology organizer at the end of this month. Woo hoo!

To celebrate, I thought I'd share the title and blurb with you!

Wicked Kisses | Monday Knights — Novella Two

An age-gap, workplace romance novella

A tattoo shop owner with a devastating past. A single mom finally fulfilling her dream. His worst nightmare …

When she walks into my tattoo shop for her interview, I should trust my gut and send her on her way.

Instead, I offer her a job.

I can’t ignore her artistic talent, even though I know she’ll be hazardous to my sanity.

Now she’s everywhere I turn with her coconut scent, ruby lips, and long, thick hair that I picture wrapping around my …

With twelve years between us, you’d think it would be easy to keep a professional distance.

It’s not.

When I cross the line, I don’t want to stop.

She was meant to be mine.

But then something happens, revealing a part of her life she’s kept hidden.

It’s my worst nightmare.

It’s something I’ve avoided at all costs.

But it’s too late because I’ve already fallen for her.

A steamy, emotional, stand-alone contemporary romance about a sexy, misunderstood tattoo artist who’s confronted with his worst nightmare in the shape of his much-younger employee, single mom and trainee tattoo artist, Sophie.

Note: This novella is part of The Trouble with Bad Boys charity anthology.

Do you remember this scene from Moonlit Kisses with the guys from Monday Knights after a game?

“Are you an idiot? Things never slow down for you. Your business has only grown busier and busier each year since you opened. You’re a fucking outstanding mechanic and people know they can rely on you and that you won’t rip them off,” Aaron shoots back. 

The guys around the table agree, nodding their heads like old men. “You guys sound like Em. She stopped in on Saturday and gave me the same lecture.” 

Lincoln sits up straighter at the mention of Em’s name. “Yeah? How’s Emma?” 

“Married!” I snap. Fucking asshole knows this already. 

“Still?” 

“Yeah, fucking still. Probably will be for the rest of her life. Can’t see Theo ever walking away from her and the boys.” I smirk at the forlorn expression on Lincoln’s face. He had his chance to make a move while she was single, but never grew the balls to do anything about it. His loss.

There's a reason he never went after a relationship with Emma. Find out why in Wicked Kisses ...
