Within the next couple of weeks, Stormy Night Publications will be releasing the first in a new series of collaborations with my writing partner, Jack Crosby, and we couldn’t be more excited! Rules of the Wild is the beginning of our Alaska Wild series and features one of the gruffest, orneriest, and strongest heroes we’ve ever penned—Tobias Wyatt.
And, oh my word, just wait until you see the cover… *whew* 😉
But before giving you a peek at the story, here’s a brief synopsis of the novel for context. Emy Forester and Tobias Wyatt both have secrets they’d prefer to keep hidden. When they find each other against the harsh backdrop of an Alaskan winter, will Tobias’s firm hand be enough to protect Emy from the dangerous past she’s running from? Will Emy’s sass, spark, and submission convince Tobias to risk opening himself up to love again? With plenty of twists, turns, romance, and some good old fashioned discipline, Rules of the Wild is guaranteed to keep you cozy and warm on a long winter’s night…
Rules of the Wild is spanking romance at its most intimate, man versus nature at its most gripping, and a tense thriller that will keep you tapping your Kindle all night long. We hope you love our story as much as we loved crafting it!
Here’s your sneak preview! Enjoy! 🙂
“Anything wrong?” His voice carried a note of mild concern and within seconds he was at my side, gripping my shoulder protectively.
“No, I-I’m fine. Just haven’t played in a while,” I whispered, tilting my head in the direction of the cards. “I kinda gave it up a while ago.”
“Mhm.”
I’d just dropped a bombshell on him, something I’d never even shared with my closest friends, and all I got was a noncommittal two-syllable grunt. Nice, Tobias. Shifting in his grip, I managed to tilt my head up and look into his eyes. He was only about a head taller than me, but in the cramped quarters, his sheer mass seemed to double my own.
“Sit. Please.”
I did as ordered, sliding myself into the pleather booth on one side of the table. He mirrored me, taking up position across from me before screwing caps off both bottles. Christ, the man had massive hands. I felt my pussy throb as I recalled my recent nightly fantasies, fantasies in which those hands had featured quite prominently.
The quiet lapping sounds of the water against the hull were soothing, yet the silence between us kept me from relaxing. For once, I refused to be the one to break the deadlock. And it turned out to be the best decision I’d made in a while.
“I didn’t realize the cards would be an issue. Sorry about that.”
“S’okay,” I shrugged and gave him a grin.
“I know a gambler when I see one, Emy. And you’ve been rolling the dice with me since the day we met, haven’t you?”
For all the time I’d spent assessing his tells and sussing out his moods, it never occurred to me that he’d been doing the same to me. But before I could interject, he pushed forward.
“You and me, Emy, see…we’re at a crossroads. A stalemate. Pushing and pulling, clawing and scratching. It’s the way of the wild, and believe me, it doesn’t end well for either one of us if we keep on like this.”
I had no idea where he was going with this. I only knew that I wanted to be there with him when we arrived.
“So we need something to get us past the standoff between us,” he continued. “And that’s where these cards come in. But if one hand of poker is gonna be one hand too many, I’ll come up with another solution. If it makes you feel any better, we’re not bettin’ for money.”
“What’re the stakes then?” I blurted out, not able to help myself.
“I’m so glad you asked. One hand, winner takes all. If you win, you get to ask me any question you like and I’ll answer you honestly and completely.”
“And if you win?” I squeaked.
“Well, when I win, I’m gonna take you over my knee and give you the spanking you’ve been asking for since the day I met you. I don’t know about where you’re from or what you’re used to, but actions and words have consequences up here, and I think that’s a lesson that you need to learn. And I’m gonna be the one to teach you.”
Hope you enjoyed this little teaser! Please keep an eye out for Rules of the Wild, Book One in the Wild Alaska series, coming out any day now!

Heads up, everybody! Starting this Saturday, I’m going to be featuring a new segment on this site called Triple Play Q&A. The idea behind the Triple Play is to feature one or two erotica/romance authors each week to showcase their work, to give them an outlet to share a bit about themselves, and to have them answer three questions – some serious, some seriously silly – in an effort to get to know them better. Essentially, it’s like speed dating meets an author spotlight!
WOOHOOOOOO! After months of hard work and edits (and more edits and more edits and…), I’m incredibly pleased to announce the release of my newest erotica title, Under Daddy’s Roof. As always, I’m thankful to the outstanding team at Stormy Night Publications for helping to make this novel a reality, and to my wonderful husband for his ongoing support. In related news, it’s so much easier to be published when I don’t have to keep it a 
Let me start off by saying that I love reading. It’s one of my favorite pastimes and I know my life would be a much bleaker place without a good book in hand. When an author successfully transports me to a different time period, a different planet, a different point of view, a different lifestyle, or a different kink, I couldn’t be happier. Books keep me company on my commute to and from work each day and come along with me on every trip I take, both for business and pleasure. In fact, the biggest reason I decided to try my hand at writing was because of my deep and abiding love for reading.
Thankfully, once I left academia (and gave myself a good six months to recover), I rediscovered my love of reading and haven’t looked back since. Okay, okay, I admit it. There’s nothing too exciting or profound about this post. However, I did want to share that it’s nice to know that even when I lost my passion for reading, when I thought I’d never be able to stand the sight of another page, it wasn’t gone for good.
On weekends, I’m a writer.
