Out of the Woods has:

🤫family secrets

💍wedding planner & best man
🙋🏼playboy needs a mate

A full moon is in the upper righthand corner; the outline of a wolf howls in the lower left corner. Bottom text reads: Out of the Woods, available July 28 | on Amazon & KU

Quote reads: Rhys stared him down over the rim of his glass. “When was the last time you actually dated? For longer than the night.”
For so long, one night stands filled Corwin’s repertoire. No one had unrealistic expectations, no one caught feelings, and everyone left satisfied. He’d tried to do the same with Sophia, but his desire for her remained.

Whispers in Chaos just broke the 60K word threshold. My writing buddy is sleeping beside my chair. It's a winter storm outside. And my partner and kid are reading and writing on the sofa.

It's a damn good day.

Can't wait to share this book with everyone.
