You donโ€™t want to miss this pivotal story in the ASSASSINS universe!

AVAILABLE NOW!

The Assassin's Duet is Here!!!

For a limited time you can get the first two books in the Assassin's series together in a duet! It also includes a BONUS SCENE from Assassin's Mark NOT found in the original story!โ 

ASSASSINโ€™S MARKโ 

I knew the minute I saw him that Levi Agozi was too perfect to be real. I didn't care. He came to me, asked for me, and, dazzled by his dark good looks and the bad-boy aura surrounding him, I gave in. Willingly.โ 

My father is set to become the next governor of Georgia, and he'll use me to get there if he has to. He'll hand me over, virginity and all, to the man with the biggest bank account and political pull.โ 

I wanted something more.โ 

I wanted Levi. And I had himโ€”until I woke up, disoriented and confused, at his mercy. Heโ€™s a bad boy, all right. A sexy, deadly assassin. And I'm the pawn torn between him and my father, two powerful men intent on destroying each other.โ 

I might not understand their war, but I do understand one thing: no matter who wins, I lose.โ 

***โ 

ASSASSINโ€™S PREYโ 

I killed my first man at the age of twelve. I've been killing ever since. I thought it was all I lived forโ€ฆuntil Abby. Until the woman I'd kidnapped became the woman I couldn't walk away from.โ 

She owns a piece of me I wouldn't take back, but the rest? The only way to protect her is to hold back the parts inside me that are too ugly to ever reveal. I'll keep her safe, even from me.โ 

And it works. We have the nights, and I hunt my way through the days. Alone.โ 

Until an attack reveals a threat we didn't see coming. One that could take away the dream I didn't realize I had.โ 

Everything. With her.โ 

I'm on the hunt of my life. My prey might run, but in this fightโ€”for her, for usโ€”they don't stand a chance.โ

Deny Me is coming soon!!

DENY ME - NEW.jpg

The ASSASSINS series has taken over the whole summer! I hope youโ€™ve loved the series as much as I have. Weโ€™re up to book 4, but donโ€™t despairโ€”there will definitely be more! Eliโ€™s story will be coming this December, with more books in the planning stage beyond that, I promise. ASSASSINS will continue for a long time to come!

 So whatโ€™s next, then? SOUTHERN NIGHTS: ENIGMA, of course! We get a glimpse of King Moncrief and his heroine in ASSASSINโ€™S HEART, and I plan to release their story, DENY ME, in October. Thatโ€™s right, I plan to cross over Enigma and Assassins in coming books! So, Deny Me in October, and Eliโ€™s book (title to be determined) in December.

 Stop thinking about 2020! (I know youโ€™re thinking it; I can feel it. That schedule isnโ€™t ready yet, LOL!)

 DENY ME is up for preorder! Head over and grab your copy!

Assassin's Heart!

ASSASSINโ€™S HEART-2.jpg

In case you havenโ€™t heard, Iโ€™ve been releasing a few books lately.๐Ÿ˜‰ ASSASSINโ€™S PREY released just yesterday, and the next installment in the series will be out AUGUST 26TH!

 โ™ฆ ASSASSINโ€™S HEART โ™ฆ

My brother believes he made me a killer. The truth is, Iโ€™ve always been different. I can smile while sliding a knife between your ribsโ€”and not feel a moment of regret.

 Until Leah.

 A man like me shouldnโ€™t have a family. But the minute I opened my eyes from a coma and saw her, I knew Iโ€™d forever be tied to her. A nurse who nurtures life. A mother.

 Iโ€™ve stalked her for two years, unable to stop but refusing to give in to the need to have her. To love her. Until the night her daughter is taken. Iโ€™ll light up the world to get Leahโ€™s child back to her.

 And then Iโ€™ll walk away for good. Not because itโ€™s the right thing to do, but because I know how sheโ€™ll look at me after seeing who I truly am.

 Sheโ€™ll see the murderer inside me. And God help me, but sheโ€™ll be right.

Assassin's Prey is here!!!

Release Day Image.jpg

Iโ€™ve waited a long time for today. Release day is overwhelming, but with a bookโ€”and a seriesโ€”like this, it isโ€ฆindescribable. Really, there are no words.

 

ASSASSINโ€™S MARK was written at a time when I was struggling so much. It changed how I wrote, how I viewed my writing, how I viewed my world, more than I can even describe. I hope you love Levi and his brothers as much as I do, and follow them for many books to come. Itโ€™ll be an adventure you wonโ€™t forget!

ASSASSINโ€™S MARK

I knew the minute I saw him that Levi Agozi was too perfect to be real. I didn't care. He came to me, asked for me, and, dazzled by his dark good looks and the bad-boy aura surrounding him, I gave in. Willingly. My father is set to become the next governor of Virginia, and he'll use me to get there if he has to. He'll hand me over, virginity and all, to the man with the biggest bank account and political pull.โฃ I wanted something more.โฃ I wanted Levi.

May 2 Image.jpg

The damp night air felt heavy with suspicionโ€”mine. My brothers would tell me I was crazy, but I knew what my senses were saying. Theyโ€™d been honed over years on the streets to keep all three of us safe, and right now they were screaming.

 Something wasnโ€™t right.

 โ€œWhere the hell is this guy?โ€

 The words came out a low growl, but I had no doubt Remi and Eli heard them through the communication device in my ear. It was Eli who answered. 

 โ€œOn his way here, maybe? Itโ€™s not even a quarter till, Levi. Not everyoneโ€™s got a stick up their ass like you.โ€

 I shot a bird toward the window of the office two buildings down where my youngest brother was working his magic with the surveillance equipment. In our business, you better have a stick up your ass when it came to details or you were dead. Easing deeper into the shadows of the overhang I stood under, I scanned the street once more. โ€œIโ€™m telling you, somethingโ€™s not right. I donโ€™t like it.โ€

 โ€œWhen do you ever like anything?โ€ Remi asked. He waited on a second-story balcony directly across the street, hidden behind a brick column, his favorite Remington 700 pointed in my general direction. Watching my backโ€”and giving me a hard time. My relationship with my brothers in a nutshell.

 โ€œNever,โ€ Eli said in my ear, proving my point.

Itโ€™s that time of year againโ€”the time when those of us in the South pray desperately for cooler weather and envy those of you in northern climates. And the time when, even as adults, we get to PLAY! I canโ€™t think of any time more playful than HALLOWEEN.

Weโ€™re going to have some fun with the spooky and scary this month. Comment below about the scariest movie youโ€™ve ever seen! Title, pictures, or (double entries) a movie trailer. Iโ€™ll go first. ๐Ÿ˜Š

* * * Iโ€™ll choose a winner on Friday, October 26thfor a little โ€œTrick or Treatโ€ package Iโ€™ve put togetherโ€”fun October decorations, candy, a โ€œspookyโ€ black book light, and a signed paperback copy of Gena Showalterโ€™s BURNING DAWN. * * *

Smart Heroines

The heroine of the book Iโ€™m working on now, CAPTURE ME, is a little different than the other heroines in the Southern Nights series. Sheโ€™s not a kick-ass warrior like Elliot or a sassy fighter like Maddie. Sheโ€™s a computer nerd.

Thatโ€™s right. A geek.

A cute geek, but stillโ€ฆLyse is way out of her depth when it comes to her Irish mercenary. ๐Ÿ˜‰

So what was my inspiration for this quieter heroine? Honestly, my family. My husband is both a scientist and engineer, and my son is into electronics and computer science. They have smarts I can only dream of, and so does Lyse. I wanted to take the typical โ€œmale nerdโ€ character and turn it on its head. And make her sexy in her own way.

Youโ€™ll have to tell me how I did the final week of November when CAPTURE ME releases. In the meantime, how do you feel about geek characters?

Ireland

Iโ€™ve been looking for inspiration as I work through the early chapters of Capture Me. Lyse runs from her past and the man she loves to a remote Irish village. In looking for images to spark my imagination, I began with one of my favorite places during my visit to Ireland in 2017: Howth.

(Thatโ€™s pronounced โ€œhoat,โ€ like ho-ho-ho but with a T at the end. ;) )

What do you think? Would a place like this make a good blueprint for Lyseโ€™s hideaway?

Blank Spaces

As Iโ€™ve followed my journey toward a more POSITIVE LIFE this year, Iโ€™ve noticed something: when I donโ€™t have anything to do, it stresses me out. I donโ€™t know what to do with the blank spaces in my life, the times when thereโ€™s no work to do, no TV to watch, no book to read. And yet, we are learning more and more about the negative impact of so much input into our lives through TV, social media, the doing and having and seeking more and more and more.

Creativity requires blank space. We look at the first page of a new book, all that fresh white space, and freak out. The blank page is so hard! But without a blank page, a new book doesnโ€™t come into being. Our brains need that blank space too, to stretch and grow and create. To rest.

Have you found that quiet and โ€œblank spaceโ€ are positives in your life? How do you go about creating those opportunities?

Meghan March Reading Kick!

Iโ€™ve been on a Meghan March kick for a while.  ๐Ÿ™‚ It took me a long time to warm up to first-person romance, and there are still only certain authors I feel do it fantastically. But I really love Meghanโ€™s voice. Iโ€™ve read the Beneath series, and recently Take Me Back. I have the entire Mount Trilogy waiting as my reward for finishing my next book, and believe me, I canโ€™t wait!

Have you ever read Meghanโ€™s books? You can check them out at her website http://meghanmarch.com. She even has a couple of free books available if you want to try her out. (I highly recommend it!)
