Command (Bonds Book 3) is available
On amazon pre-order Command. It will be released Feb 27th!!
Aria DeWitt is a runaway bride. Only months away from her wedding, she panicked, returning her engagement ring and donating her gorgeous gown to charity.
She’s less than pleased when she’s reassigned to a new work project and sent to work with Grant Kingston in the middle of nowhere. She knows of his reputation as a recluse and genius, but she isn’t prepared for how handsome, powerful and deliciously Dominant he is or how he ignites something inside her that no man ever has.
Grant isn’t happy when his cherished solitude and creativity are shattered by Aria’s unwanted and unwelcome arrival. That is until he glimpses her carefully concealed vulnerability. Aria’s confidence and responsiveness intrigue him, ensnaring him in a way he’d never believed possible, chipping away the ice that shrouds his heart.
As he interacts with her, he realizes why she ran from marriage. She’s never met someone strong and complex enough to hold her interest. And suddenly, he’s determined to be that man.

Bonds Series
Inspiration
The idea for the series began with the conception of Crave. I knew that my hero, Reece, had a friend who was also acted as a mentor character. Crave is a reconciliation story, and I needed a way for them to meet again. So it made sense that the same character could act as a bridge between the hero and heroine.
As I brainstormed, the character of Julien Bonds was formed. He is larger than life, a genius who doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s driven, restless, and quirky. And one of his favorite things is meddling in others’ lives.
It wasn’t until I’d written the first three chapters and sent them to Totally Bound that I saw that Julien could be a continuing character in all the books in the series. I told Nicki Richards, the publisher for Totally Bound, that I thought that he’d be good “glue.” Nicki
thought that was an excellent idea.
I thought it made sense that Julien and Reece met in college. So it followed that the other heroes all went to the same school and formed a lifelong friendship. I had just moved to Texas as I was writing these books, and I love Austin. The University of Texas was the natural setting because it has respected business and engineering schools.
Four men. One powerful bond.

Bonds #1 Crave
One of my favorite storylines is that of reconciliation, second chances. It’s a bit tricky to pull off, though, because the conflicts that tore the characters apart need to be real and seem insurmountable. Otherwise the characters can seem unlikeable. On the other hand, if there’s growth, readers can forgive someone who realizes they screwed up. We
all sort of want to root for the underdog.
In Crave, Reece wants to marry and collar Sarah. But Sarah finds the collar, and it’s not a thin delicate thing. It’s weighty and meaningful. The sight of it frightens her. In a blind panic, she runs.
But a few years later, she realizes she made a terrible mistake, but she wonders if hindsight makes him and their relationship more appealing than it really was. She hopes one night with him will get him out of her system. So she turns to Julien for help.
In a room at Julien’s birthday party, Reece is stunned, shocked, and not at all pleased to find Sarah in a room waiting for him, on her knees, sexy and submissive as he always dreamed she would be. He struggles internally, from her abandonment, as well as his own desire. One thing hasn’t changed. He still craves her…

Command
Most times, my heroines have a little of me in them. Aria, the heroine of Command, is no different. Like me, she was a runaway bride. I had accepted a marriage proposal, but I ended up having serious doubts. Months later, I ended up canceling the wedding, donating the gown, returning the ring. I was crying as I told the man I couldn’t go through with it. It was a heart-wrenching time. It was years before I was ready to get that close with another man.
The hero in Command is, in part, inspired by my new husband. Like Grant, my guy is a bit of a romantic, but he’s equally uncompromising on what he wants in life and in a relationship. He will demand everything Aria has to offer. And it’s tons of fun along the way!
