A JUICY UPDATE (and a brand new book in progress)!
Hello to my wonderful and very patient readers!
If you’ve been wondering whether I fell off the face of the earth… I promise I didn’t. In the last six months, I left my day job and made the daunting decision to retire from corporate captivity! From now on, if I am chained to the keyboard, it’s because I have something creative percolating on the page! 😉
I have been deep in research mode, exploring downtown Houston, sprawling ranches in Texas, the world of a cowboy billionaire with a savior complex and a side of attention deficit. Secrets, power plays, and one very complicated woman on the run.
DELICIOUS DECEPTION is the second book of the Dominant Billionaire Series. Keep reading for the first sneak peek!
It’s been just over a year since my debut, Delicious Surrender made its way into your hands and onto your bedside tables… and let me be honest, I hope it kept you up at night! I am eternally grateful for every page read, every message, every review, and every reader who took a chance on my brand of spice, heart, and unabashed desire. xoxo
Now it’s time for me to formally introduce the next delicious billionaire. This is for you, my loyal followers!
Cole Bradford
You met him for a hot minute when he visited Gage MacLeod in Delicious Surrender. He’s an unapologetic playboy and serial entrepreneur. People often mistake his golden retriever persona for weakness, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Cole is self-made, charismatic, and quietly dominant. Think of a cross between a brooding Josh Duhamel and a gregarious Glen Powell – depending on his audience. He has a sixth sense about deception and always gets to the truth…
…then Aria Quinn crashes into his world. She’s probably running. She’s definitely hiding and she is far stronger than she looks.
Aria had no plans to stop in Texas, but carefully laid plans go to hell, and she must find a job. A brand-new luxury hotel is hiring, and she can finally put her associate’s degree in culinary arts to good use. The best part: she will be safely tucked away in a huge hotel kitchen. Invisible. Unnoticed. Safe.
Their story is about:
- deception and identity
- trust that has to be earned the hard way
- a woman reclaiming her power
- and a man who has no idea he’s about to lose control
Yes — it will be spicy, explicit, and laced with delicious BDSM themes, just the way you like it.
What I’ve been up to:
Becoming unemployed threw me for a loop. Not in a bad way, but in a disruptive, “OMG I don’t have to work, I can read dark romance and go out for lunch or to the pool and no one will care” kind of way. However, the fear of managing without a steady income and being truly self-employed, takes some getting used to.
This new book is taking more time than I expected. I’m delving into richer characters with darker backstories, and a far more emotional journey than I originally planned. It’s true that writing a book can be an unexpected adventure, even when the trip is carefully planned in advance!
I look forward to sharing it with you. In the meantime, I’ll try to pop into your inbox a little more often with:
- sneak peeks
- character reveals
- behind-the-scenes author life
- and maybe a few subscriber-only goodies 💋
Thank you for staying with me.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for believing in these bold and messy love stories.
You are the reason I get to Live Life Juicy.
With much gratitude,
Luce
