New Release!

So Audra and I are taking a dip into the New Adult pond with our newest book, GIVING UP THE GHOST.

Hot and tantalizing, Giving up the Ghost serves up steamy romance and a vengeful twist that made me shudder. --Trisha Wolfe, author of Fireblood

Rhys Bellamy is the front man for the wildly successful 13 Shades of Red, a band hailing from New Orleans that is just a bit more then they appear. He’s sexy, caustic and on a path of self destruction that has everything to do with the fact that he can speak to the dead. A man hounded by the death of his fiancée, Rhys is a lothario of the highest caliber. His life, his band, and his agony celebrates his lost love, Phaedra, and it has made him a very popular man with the ladies, even if they will never mean anything to him. Too bad Phaedra has never and will never contact him.

When the band’s first US tour meets with some unforeseen management issues, Saffron Richards is brought in to take care of it. A veteran of the business, Saffron knows all about Rhys and his reputation and doesn’t want to become another notch on his belt. Too bad fate has it in for the both of them, and gives them an attraction neither can deny.

But life on the road with an up and coming band has its problems, from bosses to groupies to just plain old flat tires. And Phaedra, who has been watching from the mists and reveling in the misery of her lost lover doesn’t want to see him happy. Being together is harder than it sounds, especially when Phaedra crosses the veils on All Hallows Eve to reignite the love that Saffron has set to ash in Rhys. And Phaedra is not giving him up without a fight. Not because she loves him, but because she doesn’t ever want him to forget.

WARNING: This book contains an egotistical rockstar, a tough as nails tour manager, magic, mayhem, a witchy boss and her demon of a boyfriend and a ghost that cant let go. It is intended for reader 17 and over.

You can purchase it at Amazon.com on kindle and soon at Smashwords.
