Texas Kissing
Kissing My Killer
Punching and Kissing
Lying and Kissing
Saving Liberty
Alaska Wild
Mount Mercy
...and Outlaw's Promise, which you've listened to.

I hope to eventually have them all available on Audible: I'm slowly working through my backlist!

Helena Newbury Hi Tonja,

Thank you!

I will be doing a new series which will include Cal from Deep Woods, Kian O'Harra from Saving Liberty and Bradan O'Harra from Brothers as secondary characters, forming a team with a number of new heroes. Bethany, Emily and Stacey will appear, too. Oh, and Rufus, of course :)

Helena Newbury Hi Anita! You should have received an email with the link to download it, but it sounds like it didn't arrive: occasionally, it gets filtered to Spam or something. Please drop me an email at helenanewburyauthor@gmail.com and I'll send you a copy :)
Helena Newbury Hi Anita,

Growing and Kissing is already out in ebook: I retitled it "Bad For Me," which is probably what's confused you! Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CYT8S3K/

Brothers is also out in ebook, it's totally free as a thank you to my readers. You can grab your copy at https://list.helenanewbury.com but if you have any problems getting your copy, just drop me an email and I'll email you a copy direct :)
Helena Newbury Well, Konstantin had been introduced way back in Kissing My Killer but I didn't want to give him his own book until I had a heroine who would be a match for him. Then I started thinking about how every head in the room turned when Konstantin walked past, and how the perfect foil for him might be this woman who thought of herself as invisible, who had spent her whole life avoiding attention.

What if she went through this transformation to become someone else, someone who was glamorous and sexy and used to constant attention, but inside she was still this shy little thing. And what if Konstantin, who'd deliberately chosen his girlfriend to be someone he'd only ever have a very shallow, sexual relationship with, started to see this other person hiding inside? I thought that would be really interesting to explore and combined with the tension of the heroine being undercover and risking being discovered at any moment, and this deep, unstoppable pull she feels towards Konstantin, despite his outward evil (because I think that's another part of it, that he's deep down a good person, wearing this mask of evil because that's who he believes he has to be)...then that would be really fun to write.

So the short version is, I came up with Konstantin's perfect foil, and went from there :)
Helena Newbury I try to give my readers what they want and you're not the first person to ask about the rest of the Hell's Princes, so I'm certainly considering it. I just need to make sure I have the right story for each of them :)

Helena Newbury Good news! It came out in July last year. The paperback is on Amazon, the ebook I give away free as a thank-you to my readers. You can grab your copy here: http://list.helenanewbury.com
Helena Newbury (Answer updated April 2021) Hi Kirby! I am gradually adding audiobook editions. Lying and Kissing, Punching and Kissing, Texas Kissing, Kissing My Killer, Alaska Wild, Mount Mercy, and Saving Liberty now have audiobooks and I have more planned :)
Helena Newbury Hi Gemma! Thank you :) The order's not too important but if you'd like to read them in the "correct" order, it goes:
Punching and Kissing
Growing and Kissing
Saving Liberty
Outlaw's Promise
Brothers

Brothers is the brand new book I'm going to be releasing in the next few weeks (I'm doing my final edit pass now). It's the one that brings all four brothers together to search for their missing brother. I'm not going to sell the ebook: I'm doing it as a thank you to my readers so it'll be sent out free to all my newsletter subscribers. You can get on my list here if you're not on it: http://list.helenanewbury.com :)
Helena Newbury Thank you! The four books which feature the O'Harra brothers are (in order, although the order's not crucial)
Punching and Kissing
Bad For Me
Saving Liberty
Outlaw's Promise

Then there's "Brothers" which is a full-length novel that I wrote as a thank-you to my readers. It brings all four brothers together to search for their missing brother. You'll get the ebook free when you sign up to my newsletter, or a paperback is available if you prefer. If you have any problems signing up to my newsletter or getting hold of Brothers, just drop me an email at helenanewburyauthor@gmail.com and I'll make sure you get your copy :)
Helena Newbury Han Solo and Princess Leia. For what's ostensibly a sci-fi trilogy, Harrison Ford and (the sadly late) Carrie Fisher (and the screenplay) pack in more genuine moments of romance than a lot of Hollywood romances.

In books: Violet and Crag from Bearing it All, which is the second book in Lynn Red's Jamesburg Shifters series. EVEN IF YOU DON'T NORMALLY READ SHIFTER, these two will win your heart. Violet is nervous and twitchy and NEEDS just the right sort of man. Cage fighter Crag IS that man, a thousand times over: big and solid and patient and alpha as hell. I've never read a book in which the hero and heroine were more perfect for each other. And yes, she's a fox shifter and he's a bear shifter but trust me, that isn't the point.
