Pre-order Arsonist’s Lullaby (River Reapers MC) Special Edition

Accidentally running explosives for the mafia is fun for single mom Lucy. The pay sets up her new life with her daughter, the package includes a biker with benefits, and the marks are evil men no one will miss. It’s everything she wants and more, so when Stixx says “We’re done,” she says “We’ll see.”

Hang onto your seat, handlebars, or the hot biker you’re riding—a new River Reapers MC novel is coming in hot!


Arsonist’s Lullaby

Fire, meet gasoline. 🖤🔥

Lucy knows the stroller posted for sale in her feed is too good to be true, but it can’t hurt to check it out. Just like it can’t hurt to flirt with the biker who meets her. She’s been numb since she torched her relationship with her controlling baby daddy, but when she sees both desire and vengeance mirrored in the biker’s eyes, she finally feels alive again.

Stixx is in the River Reapers MC with Lucy’s cousin, and she’s definitely not the mule who’s supposed to deliver his package. He should send her on her way, but there’s no one else and she knows too much. It can’t hurt to take her on the run, just this once. Just like it can’t hurt to hookup in a church on the way back while the distribution center they blew up burns.

Turns out Stixx and Lucy are pretty good at destroying things together, so good they turn it into a competition. In the ashes they find all their missing pieces, and what looked like destruction grows into a flame that won’t go out, even when the backdraft finally hits.

Arsonist’s Lullaby is a standalone dark romance set in the world of the River Reapers MC.

This limited edition is a signed matte case laminate hardcover and includes an alternate non-HEA ending, available exclusively from Maietta Ink.

This is a not a drill! After five years of illness, I’m roaring back into publishing with the Lucy/Stixx book I hoped to release after A Fatal Prospect in 2021. It’s been a bumpy ride, and I’m so grateful to you, dear readers, for hanging in there with me. This book is a few things: me getting back on track with releases after re-learning to write (thank you to my speech therapist, neurologist, and the entire pharmacy inside me); a formal apology and love letter to all the Lucy fans who begged me to bring her back somehow; my way of coping with all the horrific things evil human beings do, and my way of giving survivors our power back.

This edition includes the wide HFN ending in Lucy’s POV, plus an alternate non-HEA ending in Stixx’s POV, allowing you to choose your reading experience.

Please note that this special edition is available exclusively by pre-order. Due to a limited run, I cannot guarantee that copies will be available after the pre-order period.

U.S. orders ship media mail and should arrive 1-2 weeks before the wide release date. If you’re ordering from outside the U.S., please expect delays. Everyone who pre-orders the limited edition will receive an ebook download to ensure you can read it ahead of the wide release.

You can read all FAQs here, and if you have any questions, please reach out! Reply directly to this to leave a public comment, or email me privately.

I’m so happy to be back in the River Reapers world. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my dark heart and depths of my strange brain, for your support. Now, let’s roll!
