Sky

I was a sucker for love. An even bigger sucker for men who promised forever.

Since I was a boy I’ve wanted two things: kissing books and true love. I’m a senior editor now but every prince turns into a toad. I’ve been cheated on, used, and my engagement crashed and burned on my birthday.

I’ve given up on love, not romance. I never wanted an eavesdropping influencer to ruin my career by posting my rant about overrated British accents, how dukes are terrible love interests, and love being stupid.

Now I’m in an airport covered in an entitled jerk’s coffee—of course he has a snooty English accent—halfway to my exile in the wilds of Canada where no one can hear me if I scream love is stupid.

As the future Duke of Canterbury, I should decide who I marry, but Father has given me a list of entirely unsuitable women from which I may choose. I need a wife, an heir, a spare.

I’m going to a cottage so isolated it requires a seaplane to reach. I’ll hide, enjoy the solitude, do a cold plunge, and come to terms with giving up men. It’s my duty—no, honor and privilege—to become the man society expects.

There’s one tiny problem.

The man who spilled coffee on my shoes?

He’s here.

In the only bed.

Naked.

And he is stunning.

All the power in my veins couldn’t stop the monsters from taking her... so now I'll make them pay.

Brimstone

I've lived my life balancing the iron laws of this club and the dark magic of my ancestors. I'm used to being the most dangerous man in the room, unless I'm with my brothers. When it comes to strength, we're all equal in one way or another. But when Kinley was taken, I learned what it felt like to be truly powerless. Now that she's back and we burned the world down to find her, the woman we brought home isn't the Kinley I used to know.

The monsters that held her captive didn't just break her body. They fed on her soul. Now she's a shell of the beautiful, vibrant woman she once was, haunting the halls of my life and flinching at every shadow. I want to hold her, claim her, and save her from her mind, but I'm not sure I can without my own darkness finishing what they started.

And just when it feels like we can focus on her recovery, the coven decides to interfere. But I don't care about power or prophecy. Kinley might be broken, but she's mine. And I'll turn this world to ash before I let anyone take my place by her side.

How much is a year of my life worth?

It turns out the answer is a hell of a lot, but there’s a catch. I’m more valuable asleep than I am awake. Go figure.

They offered me the deal of a lifetime. It was also the only way I could get my life back. Five years in a suspension pod, and when I came to, I’d be a rich man. I’d have more than enough to fix my broken body and start a new life. It would have been perfect—except someone canceled my wake-up call.

Now that I’m awake, I need answers, allies, and the money I’m owed. But first, I need to get my body back.

Welcome back to Honeybee Hollow—the greatest small town in America.

Lola Gamble breezes elegantly into Honeybee Hollow to attend a weekend party for former Governor Lassiter’s family, but she finds way more than she bargained for. She meets two totally swoon-worthy men, falls for them both and discovers something very interesting about their history.

Banger is a musical genius with fans and groupies following his every move. He plays drums (often shirtless) for the popular band Wildflower Whiskey and composes songs and musical scores for entertainers all over the country. Banger has plenty of hidden talents and could easily be in the running for “sexiest man alive.” No one is exempt, it seems, from his allure. His immediate chemistry with Lola has tongues wagging all over town.

Silver fox Buford Wallace owns The Hive—the hottest spot in town—and manages musicians. When he hears Lola sing, he wants her. He wants to manage her career and make her his.

Banger has an idea. He isn’t a selfish man. He’s willing to share.

And so is Lola.

A fateful trip to Los Angeles could change everything for them.

This MMF romance will keep you on your toes, navigating the highs and lows of their sizzling relationship.

Book Tour: Almost There

A Collection Inspired by True Stories of the Jewish Immigrant Experience

Historical Fiction

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

Almost There offers an intimate, emotionally resonant portrait of the Jewish immigrant experience in early twentieth-century America. This collection of linked short stories follows individuals who faced the uncertainty of a new land, summoned the courage to navigate unfamiliar cultures, and endured the antisemitism that shaped their world.

While fictionalized, these narratives were inspired by interviews with Americans who shared memories of their immigrant ancestors. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of sweeping historical events, such as the Great Depression, World War II, the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel.

Poignant and powerful, Almost There illuminates a pivotal chapter in American history and speaks to the timeless search for belonging, identity, and home.
