As some of you are aware, I am co-authoring an urban fantasy series with Jocelynn Drake. It has all sorts of fun things in it. Dragon shifters, mages, castles, epic libraries, secret clans. You name it, we had fun writing it in. We're looking for a September 2020 release of book 1. Here's the blurb and don't forget to add it to your Goodreads TBR!

Cameron wants to make it clear that he did not go into the festival to find a dragon mate.
 
Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn’t his, Germany seems like the best place to find himself. 
 
So how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan? 
 
Cameron blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, king of the Fire dragons. His fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right? 
 
It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he’s landed in, Cameron realizes that perhaps this is where he’s meant to be, magic and mates and kidnapping and all.
 
Turns out coming to Germany wasn’t an escape but his awakening.

​Staying away is Kyou’s number one rule when it comes to protecting the sexy real-estate developer.
 
Kyou has a routine. A system. He guards Brannigan Genovese, hacks for his family of choice, and drinks far too much caffeine for any living being. Only a few things can completely disrupt his routine to cause him trouble:
 

• Brannigan buying up real estate from the Irish Mob
• Kyou’s band of brothers figuring out who Brannigan actually is
• Ivan
• Feelings for one Brannigan Genovese

 
Oddly enough, it’s the feelings that get Kyou in the most trouble. Because when Brannigan is in danger, Kyou ignores all his brain’s protestations and breaks every rule he has to save the man, including his number one.  
 
And damn the consequences.

Since when is playing Robin Hood part of the plan?
 
Pop into the unguarded apartment, find the multi-million dollar Treskilling stamp, pop back out. That’s it, that’s the entirety of Ivan’s plan.
 
What’s not part of the plan?
 

• Meeting the cute Aiden Stalworth
• Feeling guilty about trying to steal from the cute Aiden Stalworth
• Becoming Aiden’s “Robin Hood” and buying him all the things
• Playing bodyguard while searching for the stamp
• Being trusted completely by Aiden

 
Ivan very quickly realizes he needs a new plan:
 

• Seduce Aiden
• Protect him
• Find the stamp

 
Oh, and lick him. Licking Aiden needs to be part of the plan too. However, Ivan’s not sure how having his heart get stolen made it onto his list.

“Company policy forbids me from accepting power from customers in exchange for any product on the shelves, my blood, my soul, or my firstborn child…”
 
When Ross started working night shift at a lonely gas station in Salem, he expected quiet nights. Instead, he found himself face to face—quite literally—with the supernatural. But really, the whimpering vampire nursing a hangover wasn’t exactly threatening (although Ross is pretty sure he shouldn’t have given that energy drink to a goblin…).
As Ross proves he is not easily shaken, more and more creatures of the night come calling, including the clanmaster himself. Ross isn’t sure what to think about Glenn, but the handsome vampire has made it clear what he thinks of Ross—and with that attention comes an offer he’s not sure he wants.
At least, until a little fire sprite convinces him otherwise, because he’s definitely not paid enough for this.

The sequel to Brandon's Very Merry Christmas is out for your reading pleasure! You can find it on Amazon. 

​When Brandon Havili gets recruited by the FBI, he’s immediately assigned to shadow his brother and the psychic Donovan’s anchored to. Brandon doesn’t mind this in the slightest. He loves his brother, Jon seems cool, and it’s a great way to learn how to be an anchor, which is what the FBI wants him for. It’s supposedly three weeks of just following people around and observing.
 
But there’s a hitch in the plans. Brandon accidentally picks up a hitchhiker of the ghostly variety. Donovan is NOT pleased. Jon is amused to no end.
 
Dealing with the ghost means going back to the place Brandon accidentally got it from, Eureka Springs, Arkansas. They expect to meet up with an FBI medium, exorcise said ghost, and go home again.
 
FBI Medium Mackenzie Lafayette is not at all what Brandon expects. And for once, he’s quite happy to ditch the plan. Returning to Nashville can wait. He’s got a sexy medium to figure out first.

I present to you the first book of a new series - this one featuring criminals. Cause I like to mix things up that way. 


​It’s not stealing if you’re stealing it back….
 
Ari had a game plan for life. Shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her.
 
Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn’t know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl.
 
Things get more complicated when the mercenary, Carter Harrison, approaches him with a job. He needs Ari’s expertise to get into the very high-security museum, Knowles, and steal back Monet’s Water Lily Pond. The job isn’t an easy one. He’d need more than the two of them to make it happen. It’s further complicated because Ari’s not sure what to do with his new daughter while working this job.
 
And for that matter, how’s he supposed to handle the sexy mercenary?
