*kermit flail* Monday– July!

Rylan wants to await rescue in silence, but Miller insists on conversation, or at least banter. But just because they don’t get along doesn’t mean they don’t have chemistry, and Rylan breaks all his rules about intimacy for a one-time-only conference hookup. He’ll probably never see Miller again anyway. So of course, two months later Miller shows up at Rylan’s office, having just been hired to work on a new computer program—with Rylan.

And Rylan thought being stuck in an elevator with him was bad.

Soon Rylan and Miller learn that they get along best when they take out their frustrations in the bedroom. Their arrangement goes against everything Rylan believes in, but the rules are simple: Don’t stay overnight. Don’t tell anyone. And don’t fall in love.

Deputy US Marshal Miro Jones has a reputation for being calm and collected under fire. These traits serve him well with his hotshot partner, Ian Doyle, the kind of guy who can start a fight in an empty room. In the past three years of their life-and-death job, they’ve gone from strangers to professional coworkers to devoted teammates and best friends. Miro’s cultivated blind faith in the man who has his back… faith and something more. 

As a marshal and a soldier, Ian’s expected to lead. But the power and control that brings Ian success and fulfillment in the field isn’t working anywhere else. Ian’s always resisted all kinds of tied down, but having no home—and no one to come home to—is slowly eating him up inside. Over time, Ian has grudgingly accepted that going anywhere without his partner simply doesn’t work. Now Miro just has to convince him that getting tangled up in heartstrings isn’t being tied down at all.

Okay, folks- -so, I’ve got a release in August– a pretty big one– but that’s going to get it’s whole own post as soon as it goes up on the coming soon page.  I mean… it’s huge, it’s going to be released as seven novellas and… GINORMAL.  So I didn’t want to do a cover reveal on this page.  Or a blurb or anything.  Still cooking.  Not quite ready.
  But Riptide does a longer lead-in, and you all heard me talking about my really sad story with the Titanic ending– and this here is it.  I love this quiet story.  It’s probably not the idea of WWII adventure that other people will write, but I wanted a romance, and a thoughtful ending, and a little bit of hope.  

So, that being said, I’m giving you The Bells of Times Square— the cover is by Reese Dante, and it’s gorgeous, and I really hope you enjoy.  (It’s out in December.  I’m writing a fluffy Christmas novella to sort of take the melancholy away– I’ll let you know when that’s finished too!)

So here we go– a little bit of quiet reverence for… 


The Bells of Times Square.

 Pre-Buy at Riptide

Every New Year’s Eve since 1946, Nate Meyer has ventured alone to Times Square to listen for the ghostly church bells he and his long-lost wartime lover vowed to hear together. This year, however, his grandson Blaine is pushing Nate through the Manhattan streets, revealing his secrets to his silent, stroke-stricken grandfather.

When Blaine introduces his boyfriend to his beloved grandfather, he has no idea that Nate holds a similar secret. As they endure the chilly death of the old year, Nate is drawn back in memory to a much earlier time . . . and to Walter.

Long before, in a peace carefully crafted in the heart of wartime tumult, Nate and Walter forged a loving home in the midst of violence and chaos. But nothing in war is permanent, and now all Nate has is memories of a man his family never knew existed. And a hope that he’ll finally hear the church bells that will unite everybody—including the lovers who hid the best and most sacred parts of their hearts.
