Paradise Ours is a spicy paranormal romance series centering around the Cadere family.

Both books are available now in eBook and paperback.

#NewReleaseBooks #ParadiseOurs #ParanormalRomance #SecondChanceRomance #DemonRomance 1/2

Over a background that transitions from blue to purple, I've added the covers of The Quickening, Paradise Ours Book 2, and The Little Death, Book 1. Each book has arrows point away from them and toward a group of descriptor words. The words read, "Soulmates, Multiple Lifetimes, Demon Lovers, Polyam, Bi/Pan rep, Bondage and Kink, and Defying God with their love."

Today, The Bossy Pumpkin would really love for you to read Virgin Sacrifice and Lady Killer by @lmramirezwriter.bsky.social

I devoured these books, and I cannot wait for more. I might be a bit obsessed, honestly.

I should have copy edits back for The Cataclysm this week. And the cover is so very close to being done. I'm also working on all the back material (content note, acknowledgements, dedication) so that I can hit the ground running and get it up for sale ASAP.

The full cover spread of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. A purple moon hangs behind a throne carved of stone. That sits above a field of jagged rocks and lava. There are mountains against the horizon. Stars and souls scatter the purple sky that transitions to a reddish hue closest to the mountains. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blouse. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare.

His breathing hitched at the use of his human name. “I’m sorry, darlin’. I was admiring the view.”
Her cheeks grew hot. 2/3

He slipped between her legs and held them open with his thighs. Then he stopped moving. He didn’t speak. He barely breathed.
“Oscar?” she whispered. “What are you doing?” 1/3

I just finished Ghost Business by Jen DeLuca this week, & it was so much fun. These are a must read this season.

My Little Pony for the win!

Me with two My Little Pony band-aids on my upper arm.

Got both jabs today. Have to remember to keep moving my arm.

She rested the full weight of her head on her arms, drifting into that blissful space where she could just be. 3/3

#EroticRomance

The full cover spread art of The Little Death by Susan Beth Cole. Mina straddles Lucifer, one hand on his shoulder, the other cupping the back of his head. He holds her against him. We see almost all of his right wing. Mina’s dress billows in the wind over jagged rocks and lava. The night sky is behind them. Meowlayn created this gorgeous cover.

Text across Luci’s wing reads, “I can deny you nothing, my love.”

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 2d

The spanks fell in a regular rhythm, and in about five minutes Mina’s moans filled the air and her legs threatened to give out. Even though she hurt, the warmth was tantalizing. 2/3

“Do it again,” she requested, jiggling her butt for him.
“I can deny you nothing, my love,” he said, smacking her other side. She vocalized once more, but he paid her no mind before swatting her right buttocks. 1/3

Me last night: I didn’t write enough Thursday and Friday. I should try and write some this weekend even though I’ve been trying to take weekends off.
Husband: Most people take off the weekend.
Me: Most people have a steady paycheck, and aren’t on an uphill battle to make any money.
