This angsty romance is a standalone all about first love and second chances.

It’s raw and personal and awesome & I hope you love it as much as I do.

(There’s an awesome cast of characters who could be part of a series. If the demand is there 😉 Just saying)

Delilah

My hands go to his shoulders.

My crotch connects with his.

My lips brush his.

It’s soft. Then harder.

He presses his palm into my lower back. Brings the other to the back of my head.

Holds me closer.

Kisses back harder.

All the electricity in the air flows through my veins.

I’m kissing Trent.

And he’s kissing me.

And it’s everything. Like something out of a Disney movie. A perfect castle, a starry sky, fireworks exploding in pinks and blues.

His fingers curling into my skin.

His tongue slipping into my mouth.

He pulls back with a heavy sigh. Brushes a stray hair behind my ear. “Let’s go out tonight. Celebrate.”

“I’m only eighteen.”

“You don’t have to get drunk to celebrate, Del.”

“And even if you did, you have your ways?”

His smile spreads wider. Ear to ear.

My heart thuds against my chest.

He has such a gorgeous smile. It’s the sunshine on a cloudy day. It’s a sweater on a cold morning. It’s oxygen.

I nod. “I get off at four.”

“See you then.” He presses his lips to mine. It’s soft, sweet, a goodbye kiss.

But it lingers on my lips.

In the air.

In my heart.

coming August 30th.

Inked Hearts has a new look!

I’m so in love with these covers by Okay Creations (photo on Tempting and Pretend You’re Mine by Wander Aguiar). Sarah took my rambling and turned it into picture perfect covers. These just feel right.

I’m really particular with my covers. As an artist, I want something beautiful that feels right. As a business person, I want a “stop sign.” I want an eye-catching cover that quickly conveys genre, mood, tone, and heat level. It’s a lot of information to pack into a cover. All my previous attempts captured at least one element of the Inked Hearts series, but these are the first to capture all of them.

Thanks so much, Sarah!

Playing

Walker Williams is my f*ck buddy.
I get his carefree smile.
I get his inked arms.
I get his massive ahem.
It’s the perfect arrangement. The cocky playboy makes me c*me. I hold onto my secrets.
No getting lost in his dark eyes. No melting into his soft embrace. No falling head over heels.
We’re playing. That’s it.
I need to think about his lips on my neck, his hands on my skin, his hard body against mine.
If he unlocks my heart, if he finds out the truth…
There’s no way he’s staying.

Coming January 4th
