Subject: Is Strike finally getting his moment?

It's Strike time!

Hello and thank you for signing up for my newsletter which also means you can find the links to my extra epilogues.

This newsletter, including information on where you can find epilogues went out on 14th April, but please enjoy it today. I didn't want anyone to miss out. I'll send the next monthly newsletter mid-May.

Welcome to my May newsletter, and a big thank you to those joining for the first time!

In today’s newsletter, you’ll find:

The first look at the blurb and tropes for my new bodyguard romance
How you can be part of my street team
Events I'm attending this year
Where you can find my books and extra epilogues
Books by other amazing authors

My new bodyguard romance is coming soon and you can pre-order it now!

As you may remember from last month's newsletter, I am releasing the second book in my bodyguard duet on July 24th. I already mentioned that it's called CRIMINALLY YOURS (thank you to my street team and Cinnamon Roll channel on IG for naming it).

Now I can share the tagline, blurb, and tropes with you!

Are you ready to find out exactly why Strike is the grumpiest bodyguard in the world and exactly who Millie is?

IT'S TIME!

First, the tropes:

second chance romance
suspense romance
forced proximity
obsessed book boyfriend
power play
no third act break up
only one tent
miscommunication (sorry, not sorry)
touch her and die

You can pre-order the Criminally Yours e-book here for just 99p (or equivalent in your country). This is the pre-order price only.

I'll be officially revealing the tagline, tropes and blurb on Instagram and TikTok later this month, so please don't share it until then, but if you want to celebrate it by liking, sharing, or commenting, please do.

Criminally Yours Blurb

Millie Haven was always the quiet book lover who avoided trouble…until she witnessed a violent attack by a prominent politician’s son. Now she’s running for her life.

The only person who can protect her is her first love, Strike, the ex-forces bodyguard who broke her heart ten years ago. Protecting Millie is torture, but Strike will do anything to keep her safe and not just because he owes her for ruining her life.

But because of a secret he can never share.

With forced proximity and anger from their shared history, they’re at each other's throats. But the danger of their situation and shared longing reignites the spark between them. They quickly learn that passion and temptation are a lethal combination…

But with Millie’s life at stake and Strike fighting emotions and a past that could ruin everything, it’s a temptation they must resist.

Will they survive the attacks, the secrets, and the passion that control them?

Tell Me Something Real by Rachae Stevens

Sometimes the bravest thing you can ask for is the truth.

Five years ago, Hannah James ran from her wedding, straight into the arms of a man on a motorcycle. After one unforgettable night, all she left behind was a thank you note and her wedding dress.

Now Hannah’s world is measured in borrowed time as she prepares to lose her mother to cancer. Grief has taught her how to survive, but hope is the anchor she’s lost hold of.

Rowan Shaw hasn’t set foot in Boulder in 5 years. A former Army Ranger, he’s back to settle his grandfather’s estate, carrying the familiar burden of being too late for the people he loves. Finding Hannah seems impossible. So does risking another goodbye…

But when a traumatic incident sets Rowan and Hannah on a collision course, what grows between them begins to feel like something they were always meant to find their way back to.

Because some people arrive when you need them most, and some people stay with you, even when they’re gone.

Tell Me Something Real is released on April 22nd here.

The Fly-Half and the Fling by Lasairiona McMaster

Rhiannon

I walked out of my wedding and straight into the arms of a stranger.

One night. No names. No regrets.

Until I find out who he really is—Robert McAllister, the investigative journalist who nearly destroyed my family. Now the tabloids think we’re a couple, and the only way to control the chaos is to fake-date the man my whole family hates.

Smile for the cameras. Lie through your teeth. Try not to punch him in the throat.

And whatever you do, don't fall for the enemy.

Robert

Sleeping with Rhiannon Morrigan hours after she jilted her fiancé wasn't my smartest move.

She’s a rugby icon. A walking headline. Off-limits in every way, and the one subject I swore I wouldn’t write about. But my editor’s ultimatum is clear—write her story or lose my job. Now we’re faking it for the press, and I’m holding the biggest scoop of my career...

If I write it, I’ll lose her.

If I don’t, I might lose everything else.
