New pen name? 👀

🍦Hi there! We’re right in the middle of another heatwave here and I’ve resorted to putting up a bed sheet outside the window to help make it cooler in my office. Apart from that, moving slowly and eating lots of ice cream is my current hot weather strategy. I love most types of ice cream but if I had to pick a favorite, I’d say chocolate. What about you?

Only two weeks to go until the third story in the Seven Brides for Seven Bikers series! I’ll be back next week with a sneaky peek at Possessive Biker’s Bride.

When danger knocks on my door, the last person I expect to help me is the big, hot biker I've seen around town...
I'm just trying to serve coffee and pay the bills. My number one priority as a single mom is to give my daughter the stable life she deserves.
Then someone from my past starts watching us, and I'm in big trouble.
Wrench, the gruff mechanic for the High Vale Outlaws MC, steps in before things can get worse. He's huge, possessive, and way too handsome for my peace of mind.
The longer he stays by my side, the harder it becomes to ignore the way he looks at me. Like he's already decided I belong to him.
And Wrench isn't the kind of man who lets go once he's made up his mind.

🎉 Last week I mentioned I'd been working on a secret project, and I'm so excited that I can finally tell you about it! Around Christmas last year, I decided to try something completely new. I challenged myself to write in a different romance subgenre (cozy why choose omegaverse) and to experiment with slightly longer books. To be completely honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to keep up with writing under two pen names... but somehow it's working! (Ask me again after my next deadline… 😅)

So I'd love to introduce you to my second pen name: Avalon Bond. If you’re not familiar with omegaverse, there are lots of different takes on it. In my world, everyone is human, but people are born as alphas, betas, or omegas, adding a fun twist to relationships.
If you enjoy cozy small towns, adorable animals, protective heroes, plenty of spice and guaranteed happy endings, I think you'll feel right at home.

So far, there are three books in the series: Knot for Christmas, Knot for Spring, and the brand-new Knot for Summer, which released this week and is available to read in Kindle Unlimited.

The first time they save her, it’s embarrassing. The second, it starts to feel like fate...
Kaia comes to Brightwater for a quiet summer. Fresh mountain air, lifeguard shifts and space from the life she left behind. But she keeps getting into trouble, and the same three firefighters are always the ones who pull her out.
Calder, the towering silent alpha firefighter who drops from helicopters into wildfire zones… and goes soft the second she looks at him.
Knox, the ruthless grumpy alpha captain with a filthy mouth and zero patience, except when it comes to her.
And Jace, the grinning alpha who never takes anything seriously, until it’s Kaia on the line.
It would be easier to ignore if the pack didn’t look at her like they’ve already decided something she hasn’t agreed to.
Then her house burns down.
Suddenly, Kaia is under their roof, surrounded by heat she can’t escape.
She tells herself it’s temporary. But the longer she stays, the more it feels like she was never meant to leave… and they have no intention of letting her go.

Have a lovely weekend!

🛟 Swimming is something I love (especially when it’s warm). In Knot for Summer, Kaia the FMC is a lifeguard, and a lot of the scenes take place in or near the lake in Brightwater. Are you a water baby or more of a land lover?
