2023 Book Schedule - Science Fiction and Contemporary Romance

I've been slack this year on my blog, mostly because I went on a wonderful writer's retreat in Sydney with Cathleen Ross (hostess) and Christine Phillips. All three of us have written a number of boxsets together, most of which are "Taken" titles (Taken by the Sheikh, Taken by the Desert Sheikh, Taken by the Billionaire) as well as our Resisting the Firefighter boxset. We love working together and plan on doing another boxset at the end of this year: Taken by the Viking. I seriously can't wait!

In the meantime, I have most of the rest of the year planned out with my stories, many of which are up for pre-order now.

New Release The Sheikh's Defiant Princess

"You’re pining after the wrong man, Aisha. Everyone can see it but you."

So happy to see the fifth book in Desert King's Alliance out today - The Sheikh's Defiant Princess. This story is free for those of you who subscribe to KU or a bargain at 2.99. 

I love that persistence pays off for this sheikh hero :)

She desires the man of her dreams. Can she resist the attention of another?

Sheikha Aisha Al Wahed might be the sister to Sheikh Hamid—one of the most renowned and unconventional Sheikhs on the planet—but it doesn’t mean she is cut from the same cloth. She wants what almost every girl wants: to marry the love of her life. That she’s had a crush on Tabari Usamah for so long makes her more determined for him notice her. So why is Dhamar, one of her brother’s many friends, distracting her beyond all reason?

Sheikh Dhamar Qadir desires one thing—Aisha Al Wahed. A pity she is besotted with another man not worthy of her affection. But Dhamar won’t give up, he’ll do whatever is necessary to make her fall in love with him, and he’s not above using every tool in his arsenal to make that happen, including removing Tabari from the picture and sending him away. But will his interference cost him the love and respect of the one woman he wants above all else?

First book in an Alien Sci-Fi series up for Pre-order now

 Can he protect her from his own enemy?

So excited about my new alien sci-fi series, with the first book up for pre-order now and due out next month (Jan 31st). My alien heroes and heroine come from an aquatic planet and rely on Earth's fresh water. Though it's a lovely coincidence that Avatar 2 has water aliens, this series was dreamed up long before I knew about that. (I absolutely loved the first Avatar). 

This book is available for pre-order at ALL stores. I hope you love reading these stories as much as I did writing them :)

Can he protect her from his own enemy?

Nero Hart appears from out of nowhere, saving Brynn like a knight in shining armor from her terrifying ex. Though her heady attraction to Nero opens up her heart again, she discovers her knight comes with scales and a fin. She should be petrified, but there is something about him that draws her in and makes her feel safe.

Nero hid his identity so well from the Dronians—an alien enemy intent on hunting him and the last of his species down—he managed to brainwash himself in the process, forgetting his name and the real him while living and working on Earth. But when his memories come flooding back and he becomes the guardian of Brynn, he realizes life on Earth isn't going to be any easier than what it had been on his own world, especially with a vulnerable human in his care.

Lying low and not drawing attention was his one and only goal. But when he falls for Brynn and Dronians threaten her life, he knows he can't lose another loved one again. He'll do whatever he must to keep her alive and safe, even if he has to draw on every one of his unstable alien powers to do so.

The Sheikh's Royal Widow - book 7 of Desert Kings Alliance

 

I'm so excited to add yet another book the Desert Kings Alliance series, book 7 being The Sheikh's Royal Widow. I love it when minor characters speak out and you just have to write their story. This is up now for pre-order and is also FREE for those of you who subscribe to KU.

He’s running from the past. She’s afraid to face the future. Can they create a perfect today?

Princess Takisha Hakim never thought she’d desire another man again. Not after Sheikh Fayez’s rejection, and certainly not after her sick and depraved marriage to Sheikh Arif. She’s learned the hard way that wealth and power comes at a steep price and accepts she doesn’t deserve to be loved. Then she sees gardener, Akeem Al-Jalal, and all her doubts fades away. Perhaps a commoner is just what she needs?

Akeem enjoys his simple life as a gardener. For the most part, hard, physical labor drowns out the memories of his past, helps him to forget about his family and the brutal war that made him the hero he never wanted to be. He might have been a killer in the past, but nurturing plants soothes his black soul. A pity his simple life gets complicated from the moment the princess begins to watch him and take a personal interest. He doesn’t belong in her world anymore…does he?

The second book in the Bachelor Brothers of Sydney series: Bought at Auction, is up for pre-order now. I love the three brothers who make up my series and their journey to find love :)

Book 3 will be up for pre-order soon!

If losing each other the first time was devastating, leaving the second time might prove impossible.

Aiden Black decided the moment he lost his parents at sixteen that loving someone meant losing them too. Now he enjoys his one night stands and the notoriety of being a love ‘em and leave ‘em playboy. As long as the women he sleeps with understand the rules, he’s fine with that. Then his old school crush takes part in the nightclub auction and he can’t resist bidding and winning her for the night. After all, he was on the cusp of admitting his feelings for her before his parents’ deaths put an end to it all, it’s now beyond time he expels her from his past for good.

Luna Morgan never got over the hurt and betrayal of Aiden turning his back on her at the tender age of sixteen. All these years later she’ll do whatever it takes to reignite his interest before she gets to be the one who leaves him this time. But will spending one incredible night with her flame from the past be enough to douse her feelings, or will it reignite them hotter than ever?

A mutant tortured and barely alive. A woman restrained by a society she no longer trusts.

When Khalisa first sets eyes on the barely conscious mutant, Zielle, she isn’t prepared for the anguish within at seeing firsthand what the scientists in the Dome’s facility are doing to the ‘monsters’ who live outside the air-cleansed compound. But then she’s always rebelled against the rules. Always questioned and defied everything she’s been told since she and her brother, Dwight, were captured and saved from outside, where the chemical fallout would have turned them mutant too.

What she and her brother don’t know is that they are dormant mutants whose powers are yet to be triggered. They are also the last hope of saving a mutant clan, whose leader, Zielle, volunteers to be captured by the evil humans so that he can find and rescue the mutant siblings. But it’s only Khalisa he can free, and on the run from the humans who’d do anything possible to recapture them, he has to convince Khalisa that he’s on her side…and that the sizzling chemistry between them is just an added bonus.

Another Sheikh Story in the Desert Kings Alliance series is up now for pre-order!

 

I'm so excited to bring you guys another story in the Desert Kings Alliance series! This couple is introduced in book five and I just knew the moment I wrote it they needed their own story - you'll know what I mean once book 5 is out at the end of this year (yay!) Pre-order links for The Sheikh's Fake Fiancée below :)

She’s an outcast. He’s a newly appointed sheikh. It can’t possibly work—can it?

Zania Akhtar has only one regret in life: falling for the smooth lies and seduction of an older man, the same man her once best friend and Sheikha of Imbranak imagined herself in love with. Now Zania is scorned by her friends and strangers alike, and with no money and apparently even less values, she has no one to turn to—until Sheikh Kain Al Hadi of Dumak, proposes an idea to her.

Sheikh Kain is in a dilemma. Not only is his beloved widowed mother desperate for him to marry and create heirs to the throne, he can’t keep his eyes off a young and beautiful commoner whose reputation is in absolute tatters. There is only one thing for it—a fake engagement. It will restore Zania’s reputation while getting his mother off his back about marriage and babies. Then once the dust settles, his libido is quenched and her mother realizes her mistake, he and Zania can go their separate ways.

But things don’t always go according to plan.

Taken by the Sheikh out now in print!

 

Bestselling boxset Taken by the Sheikh, which includes stories from my great friends and fantastic authors Christina Phillips and Cathleen Ross, is now out in print. It is such a gorgeous cover and I love all three stories. Why don't you grab a copy for your bookshelves? :)

Three Desert Sheikhs: Three Captive Brides.

Bound by duty to honor their father’s dying wish, three royal brothers must marry their destined brides… by whatever means necessary…

 

Hostage to the Sheikh ~ Mel Teshco

Sheikh Shahzad Salah al Din doesn’t have time for hearts and flowers, not when his parents’ bodies are barely even cold in their graves and his country, Omana, is on the brink of revolt. He has to secure peace by honoring a long ago arrangement to make English rose, Lexi Galvin, his wife. The trouble is strong-willed Lexi isn’t aware of her royal Arab lineage let alone her destiny. There is only one way Shahzad can guarantee she will be his queen … and he isn’t above using force to get it.

 

The Sheikh’s Mistaken Bride ~ Christina Phillips

In order to secure a powerful alliance for his country, Khalid has no choice but to marry a neighboring princess. It’s not what he wants, but duty must come before pleasure. Yet when he meets the beautiful Sanura he changes his mind… only to discover the virgin in his bed is not his destined bride.

 

Sold to the Sheikh ~ Cathleen Ross

He’d paid a fortune for his bride and he was determined to collect, whether she liked it or not.

Rafi Salah al Din doesn’t trust easily. In charge of security for his country Omana, he devotes his life to duty. With his parents murdered it is his duty to stabilize his country by finding his parents’ assassin, marry and produce a son to ensure the Salah al Din line lives on. So why does the wife he bought disagree?

99c deal on my romantic suspense, Dimensional

 

Get your copy of my longer length story Dimensional while it's still 99c from all great e-tailers for just a couple more days! This story is completely different to anything else I've written and I'd love for more readers to pick it up :)

What would you do, if you had the chance to revisit all your decisions, to fix all your mistakes?

Celebrity chef, Jessie McCormick is incredibly late. Driving his Hummer to the opening of his latest restaurant seemed like a much better idea than flying, but incomprehensible directions and a dodgy shortcut throws him instead into the driveway of a rickety old house. Hopeful of finding the house occupied – and its inhabitants capable of directing him to Brisbane – he heads inside.

What he finds inside that house will turn his perspective inside out and upside down and change his life forever. Voices lead him to an attic, and there he finds no direction and every direction. The attic is an endless line of doors and ladders, each taking Jessie down a different path of his life.

His dimension is just one of many, with each one uncovering alternate realities. In one a beautiful country cook becomes his lover and the one woman he can’t stop thinking about. In another his sister is in danger and his long-dead mother is alive. As Jessie races to find his way back to his own dimension, he must make the biggest decision of his life: rescue his sister or take his chance at true love.

Cover Reveal & New Release: Highest Bid

 

I'm a few days late with this but Highest Bid is back out in the world today! This is available at all great e-tailers and will be followed by two more books (and Black brothers!) in the series :)

One night would never be enough.

Galan Black carries a burden he can’t share with anyone, least of all his two brothers. Not even after the blood, sweat, and tears, it took for them to open and make the Black Pearl Nightclub a raging success. He’s just glad his secret doesn’t haunt him half as much in the arms of the eager women he takes to bed.

Yet he can’t stop thinking about the plain Jane bartender and waitress, who he impulsively hired against his better judgment. Then she steps half-naked onto the stage for the club’s once-yearly charity auction, and he can’t keep his bidding paddle down, or his eyes off her. He’ll have her for the night and get her out of his system once and for all.

Layla doesn’t trust men, yet her infatuation with the eldest Black brother is getting beyond a joke. She needs to experience a night in his bedroom and get over her silly fixation. But then one night becomes two, with the heat between them showing no signs of cooling. Until Layla’s trust is put to the ultimate test and dirty little secrets are exposed.

She's a commoner, he's a powerful sheikh. Will she ever be good enough?

Jazmina Fadel might be praised for her beauty and for being mistress to the powerful Sheikh Fayez Al-Khan, but she can’t ever forget she came from a broken and destitute family. Not that Jazmina craves material wealth. A lovely condo and a closet filled with designer clothes and jewelry means little when she desires her fairytale dream of a husband and children. And she won’t take a backseat while every eligible princess and sheikha in the Middle East vies for his attention and, ultimately, his hand in marriage.

Sheikh Fayez Al-Khan never meant to fall in love. He never even dreamed it possible for someone of his self-centered ways and lofty upbringing to believe in love at first sight. Not when there are scores of women willing to enact his every sexual urge. But although Jazmina has no pedigree, she is his every fantasy come to life. He won’t give her up. Not for anything or anyone...not even knowing her safety might be at risk despite the bodyguards he assigns her.

But with his people wishing to see him wedded to Princess Takisha to strengthen their nations alliance, in the end, will he have a choice?

He’s forbidden...and her every wicked fantasy

Ravished by the Billionaire by Christina Phillips

Dexter Jericho has it all – wealth, good looks and women falling at his feet. The last thing he wants is his little stepsister working in his London casino – until he meets her again. Because now Gabriella is all grown up and sexy as hell, and he can’t keep his hands off her. There’s only one problem – she might be a corporate spy, in which case he’ll keep her close and seduce her secrets from her.

Gabi’s had a crush on her stepbrother for as long as she can remember, and he’s finally noticed her. His scorching kisses and talented tongue make her forget this is a forbidden romance. Until she discovers the truth for his sudden interest and realizes his dirty little secret – is her.

Punished by the Billionaire by Mel Teshco

Isabella wants no part of the Jericho fortune, not if it means being a puppet to her stepfather, Harrison Jericho. Instead she turns to her one skill and passion and becomes a professional gambler. Except no money in the world is enough to make her forget her eldest stepbrother, Max Jericho, or the scorching kiss they shared at a party.

Max has been keeping tabs on his beautiful stepsister, Isabella. He’s been half in love with her for years, and no amount of hard labor and bedding other women makes him forget her. But his feelings won’t mean a thing if she’s guilty of dragging the Jericho name through the mud. He needs to get her alone to uncover the truth. And now that he’s CEO of his very own casino, Bella is drawn to him like a moth to flame.

Except losing a bet to Max and staying in his penthouse for a week just might be Isabella’s biggest gamble yet. Especially when she discovers how far he’s willing to go to clear the Jericho name.

Trapped by the Billionaire by Cathleen Ross

Tom Jericho has never got over the naked body slide his sixteen year old stepsister Christabelle Evernight performed on him when he was twenty-one. Born with a sense of honor, he wouldn’t take her virginity then but he’s certainly interested in having her now. After all, what’s a little dirty fun between step siblings and Christabelle has been a very bad girl.

There’s nothing more humiliating than being knocked back by the hottest, sexiest stepbrother Chrissy has ever seen, so she’s not going to Australia to work under him, except her stepfather leaves her no choice.

Tom Jericho knows her secret and he’s going to make her pay, but Chrissy has grown up now and she happens to enjoy Tom’s brand of punishment – and knows just how to pay him back.
