My December 28th release has a BRAND NEW look, and I'm positively glowing over it! I decided to make some changes and I'm so glad I did. This suits the story perfectly and I can't wait for you all to meet Sebastian and Georgina in RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU...coming 12/28!

There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it cuts right through the middle of their office.

Bad boys? They run right over good girls like Georgina Keller. But after a confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.

Sebastian Quinn's taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career.

Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction will distract her.

Because if Sebastian gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

Provocation is audiobook three in the scintillating Explicitly Yours series from USA Today best-selling author Jessica Hawkins. Narrated by Christian Fox.
​
For Beau Olivier, control is everything. He thought getting his power back from Lola Winters meant he'd won the game, but all he did was teach her how to play. Now, Lola's ready to take on the master himself, and only she knows the rules.
In order for Lola to get close enough to hurt him, she has to love him. It won't be easy to love the devil, but it will be worth it - if it means sending him to hell where he belongs.

Hide your children. Roll up the car windows. Keep your husband on standby. Christian Fox narrates POSSESSION & he's bringing the hot hot heat.
Ever since I hired Christian for this project, I've been dying for the day you'd all get to experience him telling this story. That day has come, and let me tell you . . .
This man does not disappoint.
He narrates this story beautifully start to finish, and I'll warn you now: some parts might melt your earbuds. He's that good. Definitely roll up the car windows for Possession, book 1 in my most erotic series to date.

Lola Winters doesn't think she can escape her life as a waitress—until she receives a shocking proposition from a sexy stranger. Wealthy businessman Beau Olivier wants Lola for a night, and in order to get her, he's willing to make her dreams come true.
But Beau's conditions are explicit. From sunset to sunrise, Lola must submit all of herself to him—body, mind, and soul. Because nothing is more important to Beau than maintaining control . . . especially over his possessions.
Sometimes, though, things don't go according to plan. What if one night isn't enough?

Lake
It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. If I'd known then what I do now, would I have kept on walking? Manning was older, darker, experienced—and I'd trusted him when he said the story would only ever be about us. I'd held those words close and challenged fate, but I had lost.

A part of me is still that sixteen-year-old girl squinting up at Manning, but no matter how far I fall or high I soar, I'll always be a bird without her bear and nothing without him. 

Manning
When I close my eyes, I can no longer see her. The decisions I made were to push Lake in the right direction--away from me. But now that she's gone, would I have made those same choices? I'd walked away like I was supposed to. I'd kept my distance. I'd bent over backward to keep Lake pure, but she's no longer that girl, and I don't know if I can stay away anymore. I only know I don't want to.

She's still everything I want and nothing I should ever have, but if anyone can move the stars, it's her great bear in the sky.

*book 3 concludes the series, but I've decided to add a 4th book that will elaborate on the story (coming next year)

If I closed my eyes, I could still see them - all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. The glint of Lake's gold bracelet. Pink cotton candy on Tiffany's tongue. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would: my struggle to do right by both sisters. To let Lake soar. To lift Tiffany up. The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly.

A better man would've walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I'd keep enough distance. If I'd learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms. You could love passionately, hurt deep, die young. Or you could provide the kind of firm, steady support someone else could lean on.

Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine - even if it would be for somebody else.

Book two in the Something in the Way series, an epic saga of forbidden love.

It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents’ house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn’t be broken...no matter how hard we tried.

I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, through his struggle to keep me innocent, and through infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I’d learn that life isn’t always fair. That no matter how much you achieve, none of it matters if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn’t matter. My older sister saw him next.
