Hello, my darlings,

In case you missed my previous email, To Know a Dragon Spy will be out on June 25th and is now available for preorder! Yay! It will be available in print and ebook, but I can only do preorders for ebooks, so if you want the paperback, please check back on release day. To Know a Dragon Spy is the second book in the Dragons of Ivria series and is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers(ish) romance that also builds on the fantasy plot from To Love the Dragon King. Here's the description:

Once upon a time, before the hunts, dragons were plentiful in the world. Now they exist only in legend…except in the land of Ivria.

Felix is a prince, cousin of the current king, ward of the old one. Knowing he would never sit on the throne, he set himself to become something else—the king's best spy. Aside from a trusted few, people know him as a frivolous, flirtatious prince. They don't see the keen mind behind the charming smile or the love of family and quiet behind the silks and jewels. They certainly don't know he is the eyes and ears of the king. Felix still blames himself for not discovering the plot against Ivria and its king at its beginning, and he's determined to find the remaining members of the conspiracy. If the commander of the King's Guard will get out of his way.

Alan is commander of the King's Guard, a role he set himself on the path toward when he was very young. He takes his duty seriously, so seriously there is little room for anything else in his life—not the pastimes he used to enjoy or family or even love. Especially now with the heightened danger to the royal family. He crushed his attraction to the beautiful Prince Felix long ago, but when he finds out Felix is more than he appears, Alan immediately becomes suspicious. Is Felix working for the king or against him? Alan won't let himself be fooled by a pretty face that hides so much, no matter how he used to feel.

But the real danger is closer than Felix or Alan realizes, and they're going to have to get over their animosity for each other—and deal with the desire that sparks when they do—if they're going to survive it.

I'm so excited for you to read Felix and Alan's story, and I hope you think it was worth the wait!

My second bit of news is that I've put the entire Chronicles of Tournai series on sale in ebook for Pride Month. It's a great time to dive in with this series if you haven't yet or to catch up if you haven't finished. It's a shared world series that you can read in order or as stand alones. You can find them at the links below. Also, paperbacks of these books are all available at Amazon again, if you've been waiting, and I hope will be available at others stores soon as well.

I attended the Passaic County Book Festival this past Saturday and, despite the heat (and the wind, which was a lifesaver because of the heat but also kept blowing everything around), I had lots of fun talking to readers and catching up with my wonderful author friend Kimberly Ash, whom I was excited to get to sit next to. If you read M/F contemporary romance/women's fiction, check out her books.

Other than all that, I'm preparing for Dragon Spy's release and starting on my next project. More on that soon! I'll be back in your inbox on release day, but until then, you can find all the usual things below.
