Hello, everyone! Grab your coffee (or something stronger if you’re having the kind of week I am) because we have a lot to talk about. This week is a massive milestone in my writing world, and I am so thrilled—and a little bit sentimental—to finally share these updates with you.
The Hero of Protocol is Here!
First things first: Protocol Billionaire is officially out! If you’ve been following along, you know that this book has been a long time coming. This story follows Elias, our “Hero of Protocol.” He is the definition of a “good man.” He’s honorable, he plays by the rules, and he treats the world with a level of integrity that we all wish we saw more of. Watching him and Nadia find their way to each other was such a joy to write. Nadia deserves that kind of steady, honorable love, and Elias was the only one who could truly give it to her.
But, as we all know in the world of romance… for every “Hero of Protocol,” there’s someone lurking in the shadows who isn’t quite so interested in following the rules.
The Price of a Billionaire
If Elias is the light, then Theo is the dark, moody, and complicated shadow.
While Elias believes in honor, Theo knows that in his world—the world of the Blacklist Billionaire—everything has a price. He doesn’t care about “protocol.” He cares about results, leverage, and the bottom line. He’s the opposite of Elias in every way, which is exactly why writing his story is going to be such a wild ride.
Fair warning for those finishing Protocol Billionaire this week: You might want to hold your breath. By the end of the book, Jane finds herself in some seriously hot water. When the walls start closing in, she doesn’t go to the honorable guy. She goes to the one man she knows can get things done, regardless of the cost.
She knocks on Theo’s door.
And that, my friends, sets the stage for the final book in the series, which is coming to you on March 17th! I hope you loved Nadia and Elias, because Jane and Theo are coming for your heart next, and they aren’t playing by any rules.
The 2026 Vision: More Stories & YouTube Adventures
As we move further into 2026, I am keeping my foot on the gas. I have so many stories swirling in my head that I’m working on, but I’m also putting a lot of love into my YouTube channel.
Have you been keeping up with Secret Crush?
-
Part 3 was released this past Tuesday!
-
Part 4 is currently in the works and coming your way very soon.
I’ve been doing something a little different with this series—I’m reading it out loud to you. To be honest, this is as much for me as it is for you. I am currently deep in the trenches trying to edit the prequel to this series while simultaneously writing the grand finale.
I realized I needed a “refresher course” on my own world! Rereading these characters’ beginnings out loud helps me catch the little details I might have forgotten and ensures that the ending I’m writing today honors the journey they started years ago.
A Note on the “Voice Acting” (And That Boston Accent!)
I have to be real with you. I am not a professional voice actor. When I listen back to these recordings, I hear that Boston accent loud and clear! But you know what? It’s been a blast.
There is something so incredibly special about reading words I wrote years ago, back before I was married, back before I had children of my own. It’s like a time capsule. Hearing my “past self” through these stories while my “current self” (with a few more gray hairs and a lot more coffee) reads them back is a trip. I hope you’re enjoying the reading sessions as much as I’m enjoying the nostalgia. It’s messy, it’s authentic, and it’s me.
Pardon Our Dust: Web Redesign Incoming!
If the website looks a little different—or a little “under construction”—that’s because it is! I have a major web redesign coming. I want this space to be a better home for all my readers, a place where you can easily find my books, watch the YouTube updates, and see what’s coming next in 2026.
A lot of this place is still being worked on, so please bear with me while we get the digital paint on the walls. It’s all part of the growth, and I can’t wait to show you the finished product.
What’s Next?
The countdown to March 17th is on. While you wait for Jane and Theo to set the world on fire, go grab your copy of Protocol Billionaire and let me know what you think of Elias and Nadia!
Thank you for being on this journey with me—from the old stories written in a different life to the new ones I’m crafting today. Your support means the world to me.
Stay tuned, keep reading, and I’ll see you on YouTube!
