One wouldn’t expect a sexy-as-sin rocker like Eli Renard to spend time with a woman just as a friend, but that’s exactly what Emersyn Wallace is to him. Just a friend. Even though she’s matured into a beauty, Eli still doesn’t remotely see his childhood pal as a sex-object. When tragedy brings her back into his world, Eli moves mountains to help Emersyn get back on her feet by finding her a job as a backup singer for Jacob’s Ladder. At first, Eli is thrilled that Emerysn is along on tour, and he sets out to do his best to help her forget her sorrow through a range of crazy friend dates. But after spending so much time with her in such close quarters, Eli finds his feelings beginning to shift. He no longer sees Emersyn as the once awkward young girl he played some of his first songs with. Soon it’s not only his body that reacts to her, but it’s also his heart. He’s about to learn what a dangerous game it is to dry a widow’s tears.
 
After losing her husband and singing partner in a tragic accident, Emersyn Wallace spent the last eight months drowning in a sea of grief. With the bills piling up and her family and friends concerned about her emotional welfare, she reluctantly agrees to join the Jacob’s Ladder’s tour. While recapturing her lost love of singing and performing, she finds both comfort and healing in Eli’s gregarious personality and outrageous sense of humor. But as the anniversary of her husband’s death approaches, she finds herself in turmoil over her new amorous feelings for Eli.
 
Can Eli and Emersyn find the perfect melody to transition from friends to lovers, or will their relationship end out of tune? 

Well, long time no blog again! I swear, I seem to always forget about updating. It always goes in my New Year's Resolutions! 


Anyhoo, I have a release coming next Monday that I'm really, really excited about. I fell in love with the Renard brothers back when I was writing Strings of the Heart. I had full intentions of Eli and Gabe's books coming out in 2015, but alas, life got in the way. There have been six other full releases since then along with two novellas. 


Jacob's Ladder: Gabe came out in November. It was the first time I'd written a single mother story, and I loved it. With Jacob's Ladder: Eli, it is my first time writing a widow. It's also a friends to lovers romance, which I adore. Here's what it is about!

And as a bonus to purchasing Jacob's Ladder: Eli, you get a never before read Proposition short story that sees Aidan and Emma trying to head out of town for a romantic fifth-anniversary getaway when calamity ensues!!  

Well, hello there, strangers! I'm blushing now because it's been soooo long since I've posted. Single motherhood + running your own business = a crazy Katie! 

But I'm here today to tell you about my latest book, Running Mate. It's a romantic comedy with a political spin. I know it seems crazy with all the divisiveness going on in our politics that I would write and release a presidential campaign themed book, but rest easy that there is not one mention of the word Republicans...

                                                         GO FORTH AND GET IT!!!

Have you missed Aidan, Emma, and the gang? I know I have! Those characters mean so much to me. Since leaving them in The Pairing, I have so wanted to get back into their world. Over the years, I kept thinking that Casey needed a novella. In The Pairing, she's finally given in to Nate's desire for a child and is pregnant with a daughter due almost the same time as Emma(They end up being born a night apart because Caroline comes early!). I tried to think what motherhood would mean to a sexpot l...

Hi guys!!

Yeah, the blog has been kinda sad, hasn't it? Like a tumbleweed blowing in the wind. Since Melody of the Heart's release and the announcement of the upcoming Subordination, there has been so much going on personally and professionally for me, which unfortunately correlated in me forgetting all about the fact I had a blog!!

First of all, I am so, so excited that my first traditionally published book, Vicious Cycle, is coming out in 19 days!!





Here's the PREORDER link and...

So I'm kinda excited about the fact I'm changing things up a bit...okay, I'm doing a 180 from my usual books with the story of Subordination---a male submissive and a female domme. 



Here's the blurb: 



For most people, the word Domme conjures up an image of tight black leather, spiked heels and snapping bull whips. A woman who emasculates men and drags them around metaphorically by the balls while literally tethering them to a sparkly leash. But it's so much more than that. I'm so much...

What if I hadn’t turned the car off?

Then I wouldn’t be here today.





As part of the release for the very talented Rebecca Donovan’s novel, “What If”, I was asked to be a part of a group of authors to detail an important “what if” moment in our lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3ibS...
We sat down for the taping at Book Bash back in June, and for weeks beforehand, I thought about which one I could share. Would I go for something humor...
