Hello friends! This is my first blog post. In lieu of trying to think of with something extraordinarily witty to say, I’ve decided to keep it simple and start off with something already written: my latest book, Meet Me in Montreal! It is *drumroll* mostly set in Montreal during the annual Jazz Festival, even though it begins and ends in New York City (and it is a spiceeeeee read). It has strong themes of family expectations and even some characters we’ve already met in Ciao, Amore but goes a little deeper into thriller/suspense territory. I’ll share more about the characters in upcoming posts but in the meantime, here’s the description:
What to Expect:
🌟Second Chance / Marriage in Crisis
🌟Forced proximity / Just One Bed
🌟J/OTT/Obsessed Hero
🌟Touch her and d!e
🌟Reverse Age gap (OWYM)
🌟She took his V-card
🌟Firefighter hero/lawyer heroine
🌟BWWM/Interracial
🌟A lil’ suspense
🌟Pra!se/Temp play/Br**ding
🌟mental health rep
One week. One bed. His rules.
Santino
It was love at first sight for firefighter Santino Donahue when he met Vanessa Watson. The bookish, reserved beauty was his opposite but sensuously irresistible. He bet everything he’d win her heart, and he did, until he made a reckless decision that burned her trust.
Three years later, he still can’t let go. Those divorce papers? Forget it, not signing them.
When Vanessa goes on the Holidates app to find a plus-one for the Montreal Jazz Festival, Santino crashes the date and proposes a new wager: one week with him in the City of Saints will change her mind about the divorce. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure he wins.
Vanessa
Brash, over-the-top, and probably too young for her, Santino was big, blue-eyed trouble from the start. His proposal for one last week playing house in Montreal is as bold as he is, but at least she won’t have to play third wheel to her brother and his wife, the perfect couple.
He has one condition: she has to agree to whatever he desires, including sharing a bed. Letting him back into her heart? Not happening. But dreamy summer days indulging in the city’s rich culture with Santino make it hard to resist the sweet, dirty things he whispers in her ear at night.
Just when it seems a new future together is possible, a dangerous obsession explodes into the open. Now it’s not just their marriage and their hearts on the line. Everything could go up in flames….
Meet Me in Montreal is a BWWM second chance firefighter romance. It can be read as a standalone but it is strongly suggested that Ciao, Amore be read first. Expect some humor, tons of emotion, angst and high heat. There are some dark themes, but no cheating and an HEA guaranteed. It is for readers 18+. Please see the content warnings.
Content Warning: Meet Me in Montreal features explicit sex and swearing. There is also light stalking, kink exploration (pra!se/breeding/light temp play), side character’s emotional affair, mentions of depression and self-harm. There are also depictions of violence and death (not between the MCs).
Until we chat again!
