What new book will be next??? If you are currently reading SAVAGE ICE, then I am going to ask you to pretty please look away right now. I am about to post the blurb for the next book in my Ice Breaker Cold Case series, and I don’t want to spoil anything for you.

Did you look away?

Did you???

For those still looking…the next Ice Breaker Cold Case romance will be…BRUTAL ICE. It will release on 9/24/24. And…here is the blurb:

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫…𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Royal Boudreaux isn’t interested in being a hero. Quite the opposite. Darkness clings to him, and he lets that darkness out by hunting and catching the most dangerous killers who roam the streets. Everyone needs a hobby, right? During his latest hunt, Royal expects to take down his prey. He doesn’t expect to find a beautiful woman trapped in the trunk of a car.

𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲…

He intends to drop the gorgeous victim at the nearest police station and then get the hell away from her. Only walking away isn’t an option for Royal. Not this time. Because there is something about dancer Violet Murphy that calls to him. A driving, primitive pull. He finds that can’t stay away from her. Scratch that–he doesn’t want to be away from Violet. What he does want? Her.

Determined, fierce, and unwilling to give in to the fear that he sees in her eyes, Violet slides right past Royal’s guard. Fragile on the outside, but with a core of steel in her soul, Violet is a fighter. But she can’t fight this battle alone.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝.

When Royal saved Violet, the killer escaped. Somewhere in the hot Savannah night, the killer still lurks. Royal intends to protect Violet and take out his prey. But Violet has uncovered the dark truth about Royal, and instead of being repelled, she’s determined to be at his side in order to get the justice she seeks. Being a victim again? Not on her agenda, thanks.

𝐀𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐀 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝.

Danger. Lust. Need. Desire burns brutally hot on a Savannah night. But the killer isn’t the only one closing in…because a very unexpected ghost from Royal’s own past is heading to town. Everything Royal knew about himself is about to be completely upended. Hero, monster…which one is he? With chaos reigning, there is only one certainty for Royal…protect Violet.

𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝.

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Royal’s hobby is dangerous, diabolical, and definitely not ordinary. But then again, he’s all of those things, too. When he discovers Violet, his entire world shifts focus. She matches him, she scares him, and…she just damn well might complete him. But in order to have a life with Violet, Royal has to first hunt down and stop the man who abducted her—and killed three other women. Lucky for Royal, he’s not hunting alone. The Ice Breakers are back. Passion, twists, and hot romance are coming your way.
