Payback is LIVE!

If you're in the mood for a lighthearted, low angst beach read, check out Payback. It's now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, as an ebook and paperback. 

Here's the blurb:

What do you do when your ex-boyfriend breaks your heart? You get revenge, of course.

It wasn’t just that my ex cheated on me. He also humiliated me and treated me like dirt. But I know how to get back at him.

All I have to do is catch the eye of Malcolm Sterling—my ex’s dad, who happens to be a sexy, single silver fox. Since we’ve never met, he’ll have no idea who I am when I make my move. My goal? Arrive at a swanky, upcoming family wedding on Malcolm’s arm, and make my ex totally regret his life choices.

But Malcolm may prove to be more than I bargained for--and he just might have a plan of his own.

Payback is a lighthearted gay romance full of bad ideas, a sketchy plan for revenge, a misguided main character, and a smoking hot older man with a few tricks up his sleeve. It’s set in the world of Alexa Land’s Firsts and Forever Series, and it can be read as a stand-alone.

Short Story Now Available

 Set in the world of my Firsts & Forever Series, The Escape Room was originally included in one of the Heart2Heart charity anthologies. It’s been re-edited, and an epilogue has been added. This short story about two total opposites finding love when they least expect it is now available on Amazon and KU. 

 

A New Release and a Pre-Order

 Boyfriend by the Hour is now available to buy on Amazon or to read on Kindle Unlimited! As soon as I finished writing that story, I immediately jumped into Daniel's book. When you read Boyfriend by the Hour, I think you'll see why! Daniel is a supporting character in my new release, and he was so much fun that I had to give him his own story right away. You can check it out here.

Meet Aleksei

When I first started working on Boyfriend by the Hour, I was planning to write it just from Timothy's perspective. He's the upbeat, 29-year-old waiter we got to know a bit in my last book, My Brother's Enemy. But then I realized I really wanted to know what his love interest Aleksei was thinking, so I switched the book to dual perspective. I'm so glad I made that change!

We haven't met Aleksei before, so here's an inspiration photo and a little bit of background. He's 44 and works ridiculously long hours as the president and CEO of an investment firm. He's also a Russian immigrant who grew up in poverty, so financial stability is very important to him. But he's spent so much time building his company and supporting his family that he's forgotten how to cut loose and have fun.

Aleksei is newly divorced and has always wondered what it's like to be with a man, so he hires Timothy as an escort. He's in for so much more than he bargained for, because Timothy totally rocks his world. Aleksei's transformation from the start of the book to the end is probably my favorite character arc I've ever written, and I'm really looking forward to introducing him to you when the book goes live on May 31st.

May 31st!

The release date for the next book in my Firsts and Forever Stories collection has been moved up almost month! It's called Boyfriend by the Hour, it's now on pre-order, and it'll go live May 31st. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out.

Pre-Order is Now Available for Boyfriend by the Hour

The next book in my Firsts and Forever Stories collection is called Boyfriend by the Hour, and it's now on pre-order. It's about a first-time escort and a wealthy client who's never been with a man before. If you'd like to check it out, you can find it here. 

This story features Timothy, who you might recall if you read either of my two most recent releases, Cabin for Three or My Brother's Enemy. Timothy's love interest is a brand new character, a Russian immigrant and successful CEO named Aleksei. Here's a look at the cover:

Right now, it's scheduled to go live at the end of June, but writing it is going so well that I should have it done early. If that's the case, I'll definitely move up the release date.

Announcement!

 My upcoming book is going live EARLY! The pre-order for My Brother's Enemy was originally scheduled for the 25th, but I moved it up to this Thursday, March 16th. I'm so excited to get this hidden identity/opposites attract MM romance into your hands! Here's the link if you'd like to check it out.

When Characters Feel Like Family

I've had so much fun writing my two most recent full-length novels, and I've realized it's because they take me back to the early days of my Firsts and Forever Series. Just like my early books, they include a lot of my favorite things-- romance, action, found family, and characters that might seem like bad boys, but that always manage to redeem themselves. 

They've also given me the opportunity to revisit some of my all-time favorite characters, the Dombruso family. Adriano Dombruso, one of the main characters in The Thief and the Gangster, is the half-brother of Dante, Vincent, Gianni, and Mike Dombruso, which gave me the perfect opportunity to touch base with those characters. The Dombrusos, especially Dante, continue to play a part in My Brother's Enemy, because one of the main characters is Adriano's younger half-brother Romy. 

This is why I love writing a series--I get to keep checking in with characters who own a piece of my heart, while continually bringing new characters into the family.

Sale! 99 cents worldwide

If you haven't had the chance to pick up my most recent full-length novel, The Thief and The Gangster, now's the time. It's on sale for 99 cents in every Amazon marketplace worldwide, for a limited time only. Here's the universal link if you'd like to check it out.

Firsts and Forever Stories

Two years ago, I began writing Firsts and Forever Stories, a spin-off collection set in the world of my long-running Firsts and Forever Series. These low-angst, opposites attract romances mostly center around an eclectic group of friends living in a pink Victorian in San Francisco. Long-time readers will also recognize familiar faces from the original series in both cameos and supporting roles.

These books can be enjoyed as stand-alones or read in order. The eighth book in this set is called My Brother's Enemy, and it's now on pre-order. All the other books are available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Here's the link if you'd like to check them out!

My Brother's Enemy is now on Pre-Order!

I'm so excited to announce the next book in my Firsts and Forever Stories is up for pre-order! It's called My Brother's Enemy, and it's set to release on March 25th (though I'll move up that date if I finish it sooner). It follows the events in my last novel, The Thief and The Gangster, but I wrote it to also work as a stand-alone.

Here's the blurb:

 

Marcus

 

I never planned on falling for my worst enemy’s younger brother

 

…but Romy Russo is beautiful, sweet, and totally irresistible. We’ve been growing closer day by day, even though I’ve been keeping a huge secret from him. He has no idea I’m Mario Greco, the criminal who’s been waging a turf war with his gangster brother. 

 

I know Romy deserves the truth. I also know I can’t keep dodging his family forever. But if he finds out who I am, he’s going to hate me. Then there’s the very real possibility of ending up in a shallow grave out in the Nevada desert, courtesy of his mobster relatives…

 

The smart thing to do would be to end this and get the hell out of Vegas while I still can. But I’m falling hard for Romy and can’t seem to walk away, even though this whole thing’s about to blow up in my face. 

 

 

Romy

 

Marcus is everything I’ve ever wanted. It’s not just that he’s gorgeous, or that the heat between us is off the charts. He’s also kind and gentle, and he took care of me when I needed it most. No wonder I’m falling for him. But I can’t shake the feeling there’s something he’s not telling me…

 

So, what’s his big secret? And what’s it going to do to us when it’s finally revealed?

 

 

This is a dual point of view, hidden identity, opposites attract gay romance. It's set in Alexa Land’s Firsts and Forever universe, and it can be read as a stand-alone.
