Kiss of Ice, my first novel, is now available on Audible.com… here! It’s also available on Amazon. I worked with a great narrator, Lynn Barrington, and the total running time is 8 hours 35 minutes.
It’ll be available for iTunes soon as well.
If you’re planning a big summertime road trip, (like I am) listening to audiobooks is a great way to pass the time. Just sayin’. 🙂

In other news, Stone Cold Knockout is coming in mid-late June 2014. I’ll let you know when I have an exact release date (I’m aiming for the 15th-20th). I am loving writing about Gennifer and Mikhail! They are two kick-ass characters who are so much fun together.
Mikhail is a Russian alpha with a shady past (and a teeny bit of a violent streak, but he’s working on it!). Gennifer is a tough Bronx chick who loves and fights with equal passion. They’re both blind-sided by how much they grow to care for each other, but then some crazy shizz goes down and…. well, you’ll just have to read it to find out 🙂
I always find myself smiling like a dope when I’m sitting at my laptop reading over the previous day’s writing because I love them so much. Can’t wait ’til it’s all done so I can get it out to you guys. Here’s the SNEAK PEEK, if you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Kiss of Fire, released this past week, just hit #1 in the Amazon Multicultural Romance Category, as well as the Multicultural Hot 100 New Releases list. Wowza! I want to thank all of YOU who’ve purchased the book and left reviews. If you’ve read the book, enjoyed it, and have a few moments, please do me a teensy favor and review it on Amazon or Goodreads. I would really appreciate it!
Just a reminder, Kiss of Fire will be available on B&N and Kobo later this week.
Hey guys!
Kiss of Fire
I was just so excited I couldn’t wait any longer, so I jumped the gun a bit. Kiss of Fire is now available here for Kindle!
It’ll be up on B&N and Kobo later in the week.
Here’s the synopsis:
Can you make a man fall for you with one homemade peach pie? Toni St. James is aiming to find out…
Two years ago, Antoinette ‘Toni’ St. James almost died in a fiery car accident. Luckily, a good Samaritan pulled her from the flames just in time. Toni will never forget the act of kindness, nor the way she felt in the mysterious stranger’s arms. When she finally tracks her hero down, she’s not quite prepared for how difficult he’ll be…
Two years ago, New York City firefighter Sebastian O’Donovan was in the right place at the right time. Doesn’t make him a hero. He was just doing his job. The last thing he needs is Toni St. James tracking him down like she owes him something. She may be beautiful, and she may be young, and he may be drawn to her like a moth to a flame… but dammit, he just wants some peace and quiet in his life! He doesn’t need a distraction like Toni. Not at all. Not even a little bit.
Unfortunately for O’Donovan, Toni has no intentions of leaving him be. She’s got her eye firmly set on the infuriating man, and she won’t stop until she’s in his bed… and in his heart.
Contains one brooding Irishman, one happy-go-lucky ballerina, and one sinfully sweet HEA.
For Mature Readers Only.
At the end of the book, there’s also a Sneak Peek for Stone Cold Knockout (House of Pain #1) which will be out this summer. Exciting, right?
Hope you guys love reading about Toni and her man as much as I loved writing about them!
So, I decided to update the cover art for The Burning One, because I felt like the first cover didn’t really get across what the book was about. I think this new artwork is a lot more eye-catching. Woot! I feel good about it. It should be live on Amazon by the end of the day. Very exciting.
When I decided to write The Burning One as a stand-alone, I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to market it! It’s a rock-star romance (such stories usually involve drug-use, multiple partners, and other wild and crazy scenarios) which hasn’t really gotten a hold in the Interracial/Multicultural romance niche. Stories about billionaires still rule in our little corner of romance, but I’m going to keep chipping away at that as much as I can. Otherwise, it’s going to get stale, and we can’t have that! Interracial/Multicultural romance is my jam and I love that superstar writers like Dez Burke, Theodora Taylor, Kenya Wright, and Violette Dubrinsky are trying to take the niche in new directions and to new heights.
Anyway, back to writing Kiss of Fire now… see y’all on March 20th 🙂
The Burning One, my new stand alone novel, is now available here for Kindle. It’ll be available on Kobo and B&N by the end of the week. Woot!
Here’s the description:
Fading artist Indira Z. is a woman with many secrets. She keeps to herself, mostly, not letting many people in. Her tragic past has a hold on her, and she can’t let it go.
But when a ghost from her past returns, Indira is sent into a tailspin. Chadwick Benedict is no longer the bratty kid she remembers. Now a world famous rock star, he’s sought her out, and Indira can’t believe the burning attraction that flares up between them.
After a passionate night together, Cee is relentless. He wants Indira, and he won’t let her push him away. Indira is falling hard for the charming and sexy musician, but bad things tend to happen when she lets her guard down…
Lies will be told. Secrets will be exposed. Kinks will be indulged. Unconventional, but deeply affecting, The Burning One is a complete, stand alone novel, containing a HEA.
For Mature Readers only.
For all you St. James Family series fans out there, if you liked Breaking the Ice and Kiss of Ice (or even if you didn’t like them!) I’d love if you could take a little bit of time and rate them on Goodreads, Amazon, and B&N! I appreciate the feedback, even if it’s negative.
In other news, I’m trying really hard to make a special (self-imposed) Valentine’s Day deadline for a standalone book I’ve been working on. It started as a novella, but it’s ballooned to a full novel. More details to come!
