For the last several months I’ve been posting about the re-releases of the Unexpected Changes series, and a few other stories previously published with eXtasy Books. While I’m forever grateful that they took a chance on me, and gave me my first real opportunity for publication, I made the decision to ask for my rights back when my contracts ended in 2023.
2024 will bring the re-releases of several hot contemporary stories, beginning with the Unexpected Changes series. My Mistletoe Master will be available within the first week of January, and will be a permafree. Not His Type is expected in late March and is available for pre-order now. The Perfect Fix, Somewhere to Belong and Unexpected Bliss will all be out before August.
The series is a collection of stand alone interconnected stories. They feature four friends as they each find love. The fifth story is a m/m side story for one of the secondary characters introduced in The Perfect Fix.
Three years ago, he broke her heart. Now, she’s back in town and he’ll do anything to keep her.
My Mistletoe Master
When Nick catches her watching a fetish porno, Amelia isn’t sure what to expect. It certainly wasn’t a proposition to indulge her kinky side with her brother’s best friend—the man who destroyed her heart and confidence in one swoop.
Amelia’s three-year absence had taught Nick one thing—he doesn’t want to live without her. Nick isn’t willing to make the same mistake twice. He’ll do whatever it takes to show Amelia he can make her happy, even if that means learning what it takes to keep her satisfied in the bedroom.
Sneaking around during the holidays, Amelia questions if she can move past their history and trust Nick again. Read the excerpt here.
Not His Type
She was the dysfunctional girl that stalked him in high school. Now, she’s back in town, placed unwillingly in his path. Brooke hopes to prove that she no longer has feelings for Gabe. Unfortunately, her boss insists she approach Gabe with a business offer, forcing her into his company once more.
Normally Brooke’s presence infuriates Gabe, but the distance she tries to place between them frustrates him. Lust replaces the anger and resentment he ordinarily felt for her.
He chips away at her defenses, introducing her to pleasures she’d never imagined. She says yes, when she should say no, making her wonder if she’s changed at all or if she’s going to fall back into habits she’s struggled to bury.

The Perfect Fix
Ed likes to keep his nose out of other people’s business, and he expects the same kindness in return, especially regarding his military service. No one knows he has PTSD, and suffers from reoccurring nightmares. As far as everyone knows, he adjusted to civilian life seamlessly.
When his former commanding officer asks for a favor—giving his niece some guidance on how to adapt after the military—Ed vows to help.
Emma is feisty, impulsive and stubborn—and Ed can’t stop fantasizing about her. But there’s another problem. The longer she stays in his life, the closer she gets to revealing his secrets.
She’s capable of fixing her own damn problems and resents her uncle and his ‘star soldier’ for pushing their way into her life. Uncle Cain refuses to shut up about how perfect Ed is. He has a good job, is a dependable man, and he did what Emma can’t seem to do—adjust flawlessly to civilian life. He’s infuriately perfect on the outside too.
His hard body, dark skin, and calm attitude draw her in. Eager to find a flaw, she’s willing to look everywhere for one.
