HOT RESTART UPDATE (Patreon)

Hi all,

I just posted the first chapter of HOT RESTART to my blog, complete with the final line edits. You've already seen versions of that here, of course, but as my awesome Patreon supporters I obviously need to share a little more... which, um, mostly means seeing things only days or a couple weeks before it's available to everyone at this point.

BUT YOU SHOULD STILL SEE STUFF EARLIER! AND MORE OF IT! I'll get an early look at the cover art up here soon, too, along with a rundown of the earlier drafts and process for the artwork. (Honestly, cover art is always my favorite part of putting out a book... funny how that's the part that involves someone else doing all the work.)

And you know I'm serious about a release coming real soon when I'm ready to share the content warning, right?

Riley Morgan desperately needs a reset on his life. Pit fights with aliens and illegal salvage jobs are barely enough to get by—until a salvage op turns up a beautiful stranger in a stasis pod and a clear case of kidnapping. Helping her means throwing away what’s left of his life. The trouble only gets deeper when the stranger turns out to be a wildly illegal artificial intelligence built for assassination.

Like Riley, Selene has been used and abused by her bosses… and like Riley, she longs for a life of her own choosing. Riley and Selene are ready for the struggle ahead. They aren’t ready for the dangerous and sexy aliens in their way, or the glitzy parties and corporate conspiracies, and they certainly aren’t ready for the spark between one another.
