We are officially in the period of time at the end of the year that becomes a blur: the days between Christmas and New Year’s. I think it’s always weird when you have a holiday in the middle of the week and New Year’s Day falls on a Thursday, so many of you will have the day off and then have to go back to work on Friday unless you can take the day off. 

Whatever your week looks like, I hope you have a good end to 2025 and a great start to 2026!​ We, of course, are ending the year with two new releases and kicking the new year off with two new releases.​

I have 4 fantastic books launching this week and the first book is already here! That’s pretty sweet for a Monday!

• Dangerous Company
• Quiet Mercy
• Phantom’s Promise
• The Combat Cultivation– Not on preorder

This Week’s New Releases

Title: Dangerous Company
Series: The Freelance Vampire Book 5
Release Date: 12/29/2025

He’s hiding something. She’s determined to find out.

Former special ops soldier Tatiana Sterling runs one of DC’s most elite security firms. She’s faced down criminals, cartels, and corrupt politicians. Nothing rattles her.

Jackson Dale Shade walked into her life as an actor playing a role. Now he’s become indispensable: a partner who moves too fast, knows too much, and makes her feel things she swore she’d never feel for a colleague. Their chemistry is undeniable. His secrets are maddening.

When a daring heist at the National Gallery pulls them into a web of stolen artifacts and dangerous conspiracies, Tatiana realizes the greatest mystery isn’t who orchestrated the theft. It’s the man standing beside her.

Someone powerful is hunting people with abilities that shouldn’t exist. The closer Tatiana gets to the truth, the more she suspects Jackson knows far more than he’s telling. He seems terrified of being discovered. She’s terrified of why.

Some secrets can get you killed. Others might be worth dying for.

Grab DANGEROUS COMPANY and discover what happens when the greatest danger isn’t the enemy you’re chasing, but the man you’re falling for.

Title: Quiet Mercy
Series: House of Grey Book 1
Release Date: 12/31/2025

Death required three signatures.

Her father signed the papers. The hospital logged her death. And House Gray—elegant, precise, and impossibly kind—gave her a second chance wrapped in courtesy and law.
Juliana Davenport, the woman who made the choice at Amy Lee’s hospital bedside, now offers her a life of quiet power, procedural magic, and laws enforced through impeccable manners.

Sunlight is a budget, not a death sentence. Feeding is controlled, ethical, and choreographed, never predation.

Amy has to learn to navigate a world where vampirism isn’t feral chaos but careful procedure. Where power is expressed through invitations and ink, and the supernatural hides behind perfect hospitality.

The house that saved her life runs on ancient oaths and careful secrets.

Can Amy Lee Davenport master herself before the masquerade shatters? Or will the cost of mercy prove to be higher than she can pay?

Title: Phantom’s Promise
Series: The Backstage Mirror Book 2
Release Date: 01/02/2026

Falling in love should save you. What if it’s killing you instead?

Kevin Brooks is suffocating. Depression has drained color from his world, leaving only the roles he plays. Then he finds a mirror in the theater basement—and the woman on the other side changes everything.

She’s ethereal, haunting. She touches his face with cool fingers and sees beauty in his broken places. In her candlelit world, his pain becomes poetry. She whispers his suffering makes him extraordinary, that his darkness makes him worthy of love. Every moment in her arms feels like coming home.

He’s falling hard.

Then Sarah walks in with coffee and questions. She’s real in ways that terrify—messy hair, stubborn eyes, soup when he forgets to eat. She doesn’t call his pain beautiful. She just shows up, offering her presence and the belief he deserves to heal.

Sarah makes him want to try. The woman in the mirror makes him want to surrender.

One love asks him to stay broken. The other asks him to fight. One promises eternal understanding in the beautiful dark. The other promises uncertain tomorrows in the light.

His heart is tearing in two. The mirror is hungry. Time is running out.

Dive into this dark contemporary fantasy romance. Will Kevin give himself to the woman who worships his wounds—or to the one who believes he’s more than his pain?

Title: The Combat Cultivation
Series: Quantum Cultivation Book 2
Release Date: 01/02/2026

WHEN WINNING BECOMES YOUR DEATH SENTENCE

Tom Hudson wasn’t supposed to survive the transfer.

Consciousness ripped from a dying Earth and thrust into Hexen, a dimension where cultivation arts shape reality, he had thirty days to master their power system and extract intelligence humanity needs to survive.

His tournament victory proved the mission could work. Fusing Earth’s tactics with Hexen’s mystical Qi, he claimed champion and secured critical resources.

What it actually did was mark him for execution.

The Jade Gate Sect felt his power spike from across the region. They don’t investigate unknowns. They eradicate them. By the time Tom realizes his energy signature just broadcast his location, kill teams are already moving.

Armies converge. Bounties activate. Allies become enemies when the price climbs high enough.

Tom has Ren’s blade, Gavril’s hammer, and weeks of cultivation facing opponents trained for lifetimes. Every technique burns reserves he doesn’t have. Every fight reveals how far he is from the power he needs.

The clock is ticking. Earth is dying. Running out the timer isn’t an option.

Pick up your copy and witness the clash. Will Tom’s unorthodox methods overcome centuries of tradition? Or will the Jade Gate end Earth’s last hope before it begins?
