Bite The Bullet is book 16 in the OPS Protector romance series and it is recommended they are read in order.

One stupid decision as a kid changed my life forever.

It shaped me into the ruthless man I am today, only fighting for someone else—a man who will sacrifice anything and anyone for the job.

But I’ve made a critical error.

I went too far—put myself in an untenable position that could cost me everything.

I should have walked away.

I should have never taken the job.

But then I never would have seen her face.

The choices I made in the past defined me up until now.

But what I do from here on out will determine if I can be the man for her.

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

With his future hanging in the balance, the upcoming holiday season is proving to be anything but festive. But when he meets Evelyn, learns about her situation, and is desperate to secure his legacy, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

Malcolm just never expected his plan would lead him to love.

Release Blitz: Falling by Willow Aster

Falling by Willow Aster is now live!

A sexy and emotional Runaway Bride, Grumpy/Sunshine, Close Proximity, Standalone Romance by USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.

When Little Miss Sunshine and a Hot, Grumpy Rancher are forced to live together, what could possibly go wrong?

To the small town of Landmark Mountain, Callum Landmark is a man of few words and considered to be the family grump. Uninvited and unexpected, I crash into his world like a wrecking ball and disrupt the delicate balance of his carefully constructed existence.

Forced to live together due to my life's unexpected adventure, I find that the more time I spend with him, the more I see beneath his impenetrable exterior and into the heart of the man that not many are privileged to witness.

And against all odds, that vulnerability draws me in, tugging at the strings of my heart with an undeniable force. Coupled with his love for animals—nothing could be more charming than to watch this sexy, rugged rancher and animal whisperer at work.

But our connection is forged at the worst possible timing. I'm running from past mistakes, and meeting Callum has me jumping headfirst into a whirlwind of new complications. Yet, I can't resist his allure and the sizzling tension between us.

As I navigate the twists and turns of my new life in this quaint town, I can't help but wonder if falling for Callum might be the most unpredictable adventure of all.

Falling is book four in the standalone Landmark Mountain series.

Cover Reveal: Moonlit Thorns

P. Rayne has revealed the gorgeous cover for Moonlit Thorns!

Releasing: February 29, 2024

Cover Design: Regina Wamba

No one knows what happens up at Midnight Manor.

The home of the Voss brothers sits like a sentinel looking down on our small town, remaining a mystery. The four brooding billionaires rarely leave the confines of the iron gates, fueling rumors that have existed for decades.

When my father dies, all the security I’ve known is ripped away, forcing me to come face to face with the eldest brother, Asher Voss. His outward beauty is just as I’d heard—it belies a predatory nature, irresistibly drawing me in.

A bargain is made, and I have no choice but to live in the shadowy confines of his gothic manor to save my family. As time passes, it becomes harder and harder to deny our attraction.

Asher Voss might be too old for me, and he’s definitely cursed by his own demons, but an inferno of passion between us threatens to either consume or destroy us both.

MOONLIT THORNS is a dark contemporary romance Beauty and the Beast retelling.
