It's Release Day! 🎉
Dear beloved readers,
Today marks a day I've been counting down to with barely contained excitement—and perhaps a flutter of those familiar pre-release butterflies. Not one, but TWO incredible stories are now in your hands, ready to sweep you away on journeys that will leave your heart racing and your soul deeply moved.
📖 OUTBREAK PROTOCOL - Available NOW!
One doctor saves lives from behind a screen. The other saves them with his hands. When the world ends, they are each other's only hope.
After what feels like an eternity of pouring my heart into every page, Outbreak Protocol is finally here! This story has been burning inside me—a tale of two brilliant men whose opposing approaches to medicine become the perfect storm of attraction and survival when Hamburg faces an unimaginable crisis.
Dr. Felix Müller trusts his gut, and his gut tells him the horrifying new illness tearing through his Hamburg ER is no ordinary flu. When his superiors ignore the mounting body count, Felix risks his career on a single, desperate email to a reclusive, brilliant epidemiologist who is his last resort.
Dr. Erik Lindqvist trusts in data, not gut feelings. For the reclusive scientist, emotions are a liability. He arrives in Hamburg expecting to correct a flawed analysis, but instead finds a city on the brink of collapse and a frontline doctor whose fiery compassion threatens to shatter the walls around his heart.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two men become the city's first and last line of defense. But as the virus consumes Hamburg and military law is declared, their professional friction ignites into a desperate and dangerous intimacy. In the quiet moments between disasters, they find a connection that could be their only comfort—or a fatal distraction.
As the death toll climbs and the city is sealed from the world, they race desperately for a cure. But the greatest threat might not be the evolving pathogen—it could be the terrifying choices they are forced to make about how much they are willing to sacrifice... and who.
​Outbreak Protocol is a gut-wrenching, epic MM romance set against the backdrop of an apocalyptic medical thriller. A perfect blend of opposites attract, hurt/comfort, and the found family that can rise from the ashes of the world. Prepare to have your heart seized, your breath stolen, and your faith in love's power to endure renewed.
🎧 SACRED HEARTS Audiobook - Now Live on Audible!
And as if one release wasn't enough to make this day perfect, the audiobook for Sacred Hearts has also gone live on Audible today!
When the youngest Pope in centuries, Marco Ricci, and Italy's reformist Prime Minister, Matteo Valentini, meet to tackle corruption within the Italian and Vatican states, neither expects the connection that sparks between them. As their forbidden relationship deepens, a dangerous conspiracy threatens both Church and State. With enemies in the shadows and their positions at stake, Marco and Matteo discover that their greatest strength against corruption might be the very love their opponents seek to destroy.
A thrilling tale of intrigue, faith, and the courage to stand for both truth and love.
Please note: This novel explores complex themes regarding LGBTQ+ identity within religious contexts and challenges to traditional Catholic doctrine that some readers may find challenging.
