If you’ve been following my journey for a while, you know that I don’t exactly do things “small.” With over a hundred books under my belt, my brain is essentially a 24/7 rotating carousel of billionaire drama, high-stakes romantic suspense, and the kind of family secrets that would make a soap opera writer blush. But today, I’m not just here to talk about a new book, though we have a big one coming! I’m here to talk about a total evolution of the Victoria Pinder experience.
We are currently in the middle of a massive web and blog redesign. If things look a little different around here, or if you see some “pardon our dust” signs, it’s because I’m building a digital home that can finally keep up with the pace of my stories. But the biggest news? I’m taking the House of Morgan to YouTube in a way I’ve never done before.
The Evolution of the “House of Morgan”: From Page to Screen
For years, the Morgan family has lived in the pages of my books and the imaginations of my readers. They are a dynasty built on power, influence, and—as we’re finding out—a fair amount of shadow. But as the publishing world changes, I’ve felt a growing desire to bring these characters to life in a more immersive way.
I’ve decided to turn Secret Crush into a serialized audio-novel experience on YouTube. This isn’t just a simple audiobook upload; it’s a curated journey through the first chapter and beyond, featuring my own voice as the narrator. There is something incredibly special about hearing an author read their own work—the inflections, the pauses, the emotional weight of a scene are exactly how I imagined them when I first put pen to paper.
The Schedule: Mark your calendars, because Tuesdays and Fridays are now officially “Morgan Days.” Every week, a new chapter will drop on YouTube, allowing us to experience the twists and turns of Jon Morgan’s life together in real-time.
Why “Secret Crush”? Why Now?
People often ask me why I chose Secret Crush to kick off this YouTube series. The answer is simple: John Morgan.
John is my first hero that introduced me to this world. He’s an FBI agent who has spent his entire adult life trying to be the “good man” in a family that he suspects is anything but good. He’s brooding, he’s principled, and he’s deeply haunted by the death of his sister, Victoria. When his father dies, John is thrust back into the world he tried to leave behind, a world of stolen billions and corporate empires built on lies.
In Chapter 1, which is live now, we see the moment everything changes. John goes from being a hunter of criminals to an heir of a criminal fortune. The conflict is basically, how do you maintain your integrity when you’ve inherited the very thing you were trained to destroy?
By bringing this story to YouTube, I get to show you the “visual soul” of the book. I’m reading these with my voice. The clips I’m sharing on social media, the high-stakes raids, the tense family confrontations, and the atmospheric Miami heat, are designed to pull you into John’s headspace before you even hear the first word of the chapter.
Coming February 24: The Protocol Billionaire
While we are diving deep into the secrets of the Morgans, we are also counting down to a brand-new release that I am incredibly proud of. On February 24, 2026, The Protocol Billionaire officially enters the world.
If the House of Morgan series is about the grit and the “stolen” side of wealth, The Protocol Billionaire is about the rigid, high-stakes world of rules, expectations, and the one person who dares to break them and it starts to break down what’s been happening with my midnight billionaires.
In this story, I explore the concept of “the protocol, ” the invisible set of rules that billionaires live by to protect their assets and their reputations. But what happens when those rules stand in the way of the only thing that actually matters? This book features a hero who thinks he has everything under control until a forced-proximity situation turns his perfectly ordered world upside down.
What to Expect in The Protocol Billionaire:
-
High-Class Tension: The kind that makes your breath hitch in your throat.
-
A Rule-Breaking Heroine: Someone who doesn’t care about the protocol and forces the hero to see the man behind the billions.
-
Release Day: February 24. Be ready.
- LINKS COMING FRIDAY WITH CHAPTER 2 but it’s on all bookstores already.
The Digital Facelift. Why the Redesign?
You might be wondering why I’m overhauling the blog and the website right in the middle of all these launches. The truth is, as an author with over a hundred titles, I realized that my “digital front door” was looking old and confusing and crowded.
I want you to be able to find exactly what you’re looking for, whether that’s a gritty romantic suspense, a light and glittering royal tale, or the latest YouTube update. The new design is focused on experience. We’re making the blog more interactive, the book gallery easier to navigate, and the “What to Read Next” sections much more intuitive.
I want this site to be a place where you can lose yourself for an hour. It’s a work in progress, and I appreciate your patience while I redesign everything and do what my old friend Rossie whose a social media bombshell would tell me not to do… go purple. Like any good romance novel, the “makeover” phase is full of a little chaos, but the “reveal” at the end is going to be spectacular.
The Future so 20 Chapters, 10 Weeks, and a Lifetime of Stories
This is just the beginning. Secret Crush is 20 chapters long, which means we have 10 weeks of drama ahead of us on YouTube. Once the series is complete, I plan to release it as a full audiobook, but there’s something special about the community we’re building right now in the comments and on social media.
I am also working on several other novels simultaneously. My goal is to keep providing you with the stories you love in every format possible, ebook, print, audio, and now, serialized video.
A Personal Note to My Readers
I’ve written millions of words in my career, but none of them matter without you. The reason I’m expanding into YouTube and redesigning this site is to make sure I’m giving you the best version of these stories possible.
Whether you’re reading the ebook on your Kindle at 2 AM or listening to me narrate Chapter 1 during your morning commute, I am so honored to be a part of your reading life. The House of Morgan is a dark, twisty, and beautiful place, and I am so excited to finally open the doors and let you in.
Stay tuned for Friday, Chapter 2 is going to change everything.
Love,
Victoria Pinder
