First up, cover and blurb reveal for EVER AFTER a gay fairy tale I wrote with Christina Lee!
It all began with the cover illustration we saw last summer, created by Jay Aheer. We immediately knew we wanted the design and that we’d be clearing our schedules in the near future to write a tale of two princes. This is our fifth collab but so different than anything we’ve written together and we’re thrilled for you to meet these men.
Release date: February 28th

Blurb:
As next in line for the Evergreen crown, Prince Merrick Davendall’s future involves ruling, marriage, and producing an heir of his own. But he’s long been tormented by desires that are far from princely. Especially when the beautiful Cassius is promoted to be his new valet, and Merrick is struck by a longing like never before—a longing to know him far beyond royal and servant.
After his father’s passing, Cassius Havendale’s sole duty is to provide for his family. A promotion to serve a pampered prince is something he endures only for their sake. Surely Prince Merrick has no understanding of true suffering of the common people, nor could he possibly understand what it’s like to desperately desire something he cannot have.
Except the prince is not at all what Cassius imagined. Kind, humorous, and caring to those in need, he also shares Cassius’ affinity for the arts. In fact, Merrick understands his deepest vulnerabilities in a most remarkable way.
As their affection deepens, the underlying tension between them becomes unbearable and they’re unable to ignore it any longer. But when the queen prepares a lavish ball with all the eligible ladies in the land in attendance, Merrick must fulfill his obligations to his country, and Cassius has the needs of his family to consider. They’ve long known their stolen moments would have to come to an end, but are they ready to give up one another and the idea of a happily-ever-after?
***PLEASE NOTE: EVER AFTER is a romantic fairy tale—minus the magic—that features one compassionate prince, one brooding valet, and some angsty forbidden love. It's loosely based on a certain treasured fairy tale in a wintery make-believe setting that wouldn’t be considered contemporary but also doesn't play by any traditional rules or time period.
My second bit of news is in regards to the Wild Side series!
It has now gone wide! For those who don't read on Kindle, I'll be cycling my single author Riley books that release in KU and taking them wide! GONE FOR YOU & TIED TO YOU are now available from other vendors. DEPTH OF FIELD goes wide in April and COLOR ME IN, sometime after that.
