BLURB REVEAL: Lethally Entangled

 

BLURB REVEAL

Reese Marshall is as beautiful as she is deadly. A lethal killer for the Covert Organized Bureau of Registered Assassins, her life consists of assigned missions and living life on her own terms. But sometimes ghosts from the past can throw even an assassin’s life into more chaos. When the man she believes is responsible for her mother’s death, Mendoza Cabrera, resurfaces, it makes Reese question everything she thought she knew about the circumstances of her mother, Angela’s death.

Bothered by the questions she starts to have about her own agency, Reese turns to Jax Montgomery, a fellow agent and Angela’s former partner, for help looking into what really happened on her mother’s last mission. When Reese finds herself the target of an assassination attempt, she’s certain that she’s on the right track with her suspicions, forcing her to realize she needs Jax’s help more than ever, all the while trying to come to terms with her burgeoning feelings for him.

When Jax asks Reese to accompany him on a mission of his own, she agrees and soon finds herself face to face with her childhood best friend, Alexis Kastellanos. Adding to the current chaos of her life, Alexis’ appearance forces Reese to deal with her own repressed feelings for Alexis and her deepening relationship with Jax. All the while, Reese has no idea that she is still far from safe.

Forced into hiding, Reese is devastated when Alexis is kidnapped in a ploy to get to her. Vowing that nothing will stop her from rescuing her friend and discovering who is responsible for wanting her dead, Reese is unprepared when she discovers all the ways that her mother’s shocking death, C.O.B.R.A., and everything Reese thought she knew about herself are all lethally entangled.

MAIDEN: A FRACTURED FAIRYTALE

 

Hey everyone,

I know it has been a while since I've had a new release, but here I am with a story near and dear to my heart, MAIDEN, BOOK 1 of THE FRACTURED FAIRYTALES SERIES.

BLURB: Katania Avnaughn dreams of a day when she is no longer at the mercy of her manipulative mother and the taunts of her beautiful stepsister, Ella. A chance meeting with a journeying Prince makes Katania reconsider her hopes for the future. But then an unexpected death changes her life forever. Years later, abused and penniless, Katania thinks her life cannot get any worse until she is forced to entertain a cruel suitor. On a rare trip into town, Katania finds herself at the mercy of an attacker and is rescued by the returning Prince of Ortesia, Valentin.

Known to each other from their previous meeting, the attraction between them is renewed and even more powerful than before. But Katania has a suitor and the Prince is all but betrothed to someone else, until a twist of fate has the chance to change everything. When Katania receives an invitation to a royal masquerade ball, she knows that there is more at stake than a simple welcome home for the Prince.

With a new determination to win Valentin’s love and escape her mother once and for all, Katania sets out for the ball. Then, a mysterious maiden championed by the King is put in Valentin’s path, and Katania fears her chance at happiness has once again been thwarted. A glass slipper may be her saving grace.

When the King decrees that the maiden who can fit the slipper will be Valentin’s bride, Katania believes that fate is finally smiling on her. But when she and Ella can both wear the slipper, Katania realizes her journey to love and freedom is just beginning.

Facing a gauntlet of challenges from the King, Ella’s resolve to have Valentin for herself and mounting pressure from her social climbing mother, Katania soon becomes a pawn in a dangerous game of royalty, love and secrets.

MAIDEN has been a story a long time in the making. I actually wrote the first version of the story several years ago. Growing up, Cinderella was far from my favorite Disney Princess. In fact, I thought her story was kind of lame. But one day my muse spoke to me and I thought about what might have happened if the Prince fell for one of the Stepsisters, instead of Cinderella. What if Cinderella was not some damsel in distress, but a jealous, insecure young woman?

From that the story was born, and I was surprised at the crooks and turns the story took as I worked on it each day. The final product is a much darker version of the story, Disney gave us. This is a coming-of-age story filled with danger, social issues, and at its core a love story for the ages. I hope that when people meet my heroine, Katania (Kat) they will take to her and appreciate that she is not the typical fairytale maiden in any sense. Kat is feisty, against social norms and is not afraid to speak her mind. 

Welcome to the World of MAIDEN, set in the fictional kingdom of Ortesia. Below are links to all things MAIDEN.

To 2019 And Beyond

 

Hey.

Yeah it's me. Back from a much longer hiatus than expected. For those of you that didn't know I've spent this year in an accelerated Registered Nursing program that was nursing on speed. Think 3 semesters, self taught plus clinicals from hell. But, thank the Lord it is over now which brings me to trying to reconnect with my muse in the midst of preparing to study for boards. Yeah I still have one last hurdle to jump and then I'm home free.

In the meantime, since 2018 saw my muse pretty much die, I'm praying that she makes a full comeback in 2019. So on that note the following are my goals for 2019.

1. Complete Deadly Arrangement- Book 1 of The Corrupt Cassinellis (Organized Crime Romance)

2. Complete Revision of Pawn- Book 1 of The Ugly Stepsister Chronicles (Fairytale Retelling)

3. Complete Crossing Lines (African American Romance)

4. Complete Revision of Siren's Song- Book 1 of The Mermaids of Astaeria (Paranormal Romance)

5. Complete Goddess by Surrender- Book 3 of The Demi-God Daughters (Paranormal Romance)

6. Complete The Venus Deception (Romantic Suspense)

Six projects. Four of them completely new drafts, two are completed drafts that need to be revised. Yeah I've got some lofty goals, but I feel like after my writing life was non-existent in 2018, I need to go into the new year with a fire lit under my butt. So here's to leaving behind a stressful 2018 and walking into 2019 with my muse.
