❤️ BLOODLINES: A DARK MAFIA ROMANCE ❤️

It's release day for Bloodlines! I'm so excited to share this book and thrilled that it's finally out in the world.

Available now on Kindle Unlimited, eBook, and paperback!

BLURB

He took her for leverage. She'll take him apart. Amelia Havick wanted a fresh start, not a death sentence. But when she uncovers a secret tied to Emory Holt—the West Coast’s most notorious mafia boss—she becomes the spark that could ignite a war. Plunged into his underworld, she’s his to protect…or ruin. Emory is no stranger to dirty business. No one leads a criminal empire without blood on their hands. With his organization on the brink of war, the key to stopping it lies within a woman too important to let go and too tempting to resist. The plan is simple: Get the girl. Extract the secret. Neutralize the threat. But sweet Amelia isn’t the fragile pawn he expected. Beneath her softness is a quiet defiance that both intoxicates and infuriates him. She’s the one unraveling him, wielding the razor-thin line between lust and loathing like a weapon. Monster. Murderer. Cold and calculating. Amelia should hate Emory—God knows she tries—but her body betrays her better sense every time he’s near. Every brush of his hand, every heated gaze, strips away her defenses and blurs the line between captor and protector. Forbidden desire is its own kind of war and love is a liability neither of them can afford. Not when a force from Emory’s past resurfaces, someone who once vowed to destroy everything he loves.  And this time, he’s here to finish the job.​​ Bloodlines is a dark mafia romance and the first book in the Unraveling series. It is intended for mature audiences. Please see the content warnings for more details. Content Warnings

Emory Holt.

As intense as he is deadly, but somehow still down to earth.

This man is an enigma, his own contradiction; at turns cold and unyielding then loving and loyal.

You just gotta crack that hard exterior first 😉

No wonder Emory falls hard for her, his mafia queen in the making.

After a long shift slinging cocktails at the gentlemen’s lounge, a bar is the last place Layla wants to be.

But her two-timing boyfriend is out on the town with a hot blonde, and she’s had enough of his philandering ways. Layla wanders into a no-name dive bar, somewhere she can quietly drown her sorrows and mark the end of a truly awful relationship.

There’s a major problem, though…

A table of brutish men are armed to the teeth, and she’s interrupted some seriously shady business.

The bartender clues her in—this is the watering hole for San Diego’s most notorious organized crime syndicate. And that gorgeous man with the rugged smile and smoldering eyes sidling over to her? That’s Corey, their boss.

Layla expects him to toss her out, not buy her a drink and listen to her woes. He makes her heart race and head swim.

Then he makes her an offer too crazy to accept but too irresistible to refuse.

What’s a newly single girl to do?

Also, after years I finally decided to take a commission again. I couldn’t resist as @supernovadragoncat asked if I would like to draw portraits of the protagonists of her upcoming book “Bloodline”.

It’s been like ten years since I’ve drawn something for one of her stories. It was time, ha.

So, the approved designs for them are decided, time to clean it up and add details etc.
