The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part VII

“Look,” Jason said, sighing heavily as he rubbed the back of his neck, “I just don’t think this is going to work out. I’m sorry.”

Sighing, because really, what else was she supposed to do at this point? Haley couldn’t help but nod in agreement as she finished off the last bite of the incredibly delicious Boston Cream pie that Reese dropped off for her. “You know? I think you’re right. I’ll have my stuff packed up and out of here by the end of the week,” she said, placing her empty plate on the coffee table while she bit… Read More

Excerpt from Finally: A Neighbor from Hell

Dear, Reader, 

I just realized that I never shared an excerpt of Finally here. At least, I couldn't find it. So, I'm going to post one here, because I like readers to have a better idea of what the book is about before they hit click just in case it's not really their cup of tea. 

Finally is set for an April 28th. release, which is tomorrow. I hope you enjoy Devin and Charlie's book as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part VI

“It’s just that,” his son, who he loved more than anything, said as he shifted to get more comfortable on the bed between them with a heavy sigh, “I think things would have gone differently if I’d chosen the dog instead of the top hat.”

“Why are you here?” Trevor asked as he laid there on his stomach, biting back a groan as his erection that had been enjoying the way his wife had been running her hands over him finally died while the reason that he hadn’t been able to make love to his wife for the past five… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part V

“That’s a lot of salt,” came the softly spoken words that had Kasey wondering how much more of this she could take.

“It’s not salt. It’s sugar,” she calmly explained even as she threw the closed kitchen door a panicked look, wondering when Reese was going to save her.

They’d worked out a deal, one that benefited both of them so that they didn’t lose their damn minds. They were supposed to take turns spending time with Mikey, otherwise…

Oh, god…

She couldn’t do this, Kasey thought, licking her lips nervously as she stared at the kitchen door, praying that her husband was… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020

“You’re grounded,” her mother said as soon as Mikey’s father dropped her on the couch.

“That’s fair,” Mikey said, nodding solemnly as she sat up.

“No television, no leaving the house, no nothing,” her mother said with a glare that had Mikey nodding in agreement.

“I told you to stay off the roof, didn’t I?” her father said, folding his arms over his chest as he glared down at her.

“And I fully planned on listening to you, but that was before Mathew tried to eat my hand,” she said only to wince when her parents continued to glare at her.… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020: Part III

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Mikey said before he got a chance to say anything.

“It wasn’t that bad,” Sebastian said even though he had to admit that it had actually been pretty terrifying.

It probably wouldn’t have been that bad if she hadn’t made any sudden moves. Not that he could blame her, because he really couldn’t, not when his siblings had ignored the screams for mercy and moved in for the kill. Then again, if she’d just given up her hold on the bowl, none of this would have ever happened.

“I think it would be for the… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part II

“Oh, this is bad,” Trevor said as he stood there, rubbing the back of his neck as he watched the reason that his cousin was going to kill him somehow manage to make it the rest of the way up onto his roof.

“Mikey, sweetheart,” Zoe said, trying not to panic as she looked around for something to make this right while Trevor stood there, biting back a curse because he’d left his fucking ladder at the house that he was flipping on Oak Street. “Why don’t you come down here so that we can talk?”

“Social distancing! Social distancing!” the… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020: Part I

“Do you really think that’s going to stop us?” Jonathan asked with a pitying shake of his head as Trevor finished securing the lock on the pantry door.

“No, but this should,” Zoe said as she slapped the list of rules that he’d told her wouldn’t work on the pantry door.

“What is that?” Mathew asked as he grabbed hold of his twin sister’s hand and dragged her closer only to sigh when Jonathan picked him up and set him aside so that he could read the… Read More

Excerpt from Unstoppable…The Next Pyte/Sentinel Novel

“Whatever you do, don’t start crying again,” someone said from her right as she struggled to open her eyes before adding, “He really seems to hate that.”

“Who?” Ashley tried to get out, but between the grogginess and the soul crushing pain that was currently tearing her body apart, she barely managed to get out a weak grunt.

“The asshole,” he answered anyway as the bed that she was on was jostled, letting her know that he’d decided to join her on the bed, a first for her, but something that she was going to have to ponder later.

Right now, she… Read More

A Day in the Life of Part VII

“No,” Lucifer said, unable to bite back a groan even as he allowed the incredibly beautiful and beyond fucking stubborn woman that he couldn’t seem to get enough of to pull him closer.

“Yes,” Rebecca said, brushing her lips against his as he found himself moving over her so that he could settle between her legs.

“No,” he said more firmly as he placed his hand between their bodies so that he could place his hand over the soft swell of her belly as he kissed her.

“I’m going,” the devious woman said as she spread her legs wider, causing him to… Read More
