Bonded and Enchanted!
My dear Lennox Lovelies,
[Green and floral BAE sign at the entrance]
I had such a great time at Bonded and Enchanted last weekend here in beautiful Victoria, BC 🇨🇦! Huge thanks to the organizer, Simoriah Graham, for such an enjoyable and smoothly run event! The volunteers were awesome and plentiful, and I had SUCH a blast connecting with so many readers, authors, and fellow bookish types of all sorts!
Some beautiful highlights:
chatting with fantastic narrator Felicity Munroe (aka Erin Moon) about accents and nerding out about speech!
receiving another beautiful hand-sewn gift (a book sleeve sewn to look like Hey Jude!!) made by Karia Kaukinen to go with my Sweet Caroline bag (see pic below)!
meeting a fabulous local tattoo artist, Raya, who I may or may not be consulting with about book 4 (👀👀👀)
having a "guess the title of book 4" game at my table!
seeing all the fantastic romantasy outfits attendees wore
I absolutely crashed after the signing (well, halfway through dinner) and was horizontal forevermore, so I didn't attend the Amethyst Ball, but I saw photos and had maaaaajor FOMO! It looked so fun!
Sneaky new temporary cover for book 4...
Dunno if you noticed my new header image (or my Instagram banner!), but I've updated the temp cover for LVC #4 (because I never really loved the original one I made) and check out this sneaky peek of color!!!
[new temp cover for book 4!]
Gus and his love of Christmas are COMING LATER THIS YEAR and I cannot wait to introduce you to his love interest... she's fucking awesome. 😆
And the great news is, you can pre-order book 4 now, completely forget about it before the end of the year, get swept up in the holidays and then BAM! JUICY NEW BOOK SHOWS UP ON YOUR KINDLE. It's the dream.
[Tropes for Ruin Me by Lo Everett: Forced Proximity, Broken Boy, Hotshot MMC, Mental Health Rep (PTSD), Grumpy x Sunshine, Flight Nurse FMC. Ruin Me is Timerbline Peak Book 2, coming spring 2026]
Blurb:
Burdened by his past, hotshot Emmett Slate is grumpy, guarded, and used to going it alone. When the Stillwater Fire brings him to Timberline Peak, an injury unravels his carefully controlled world and lands him in the back of Aspen Holt’s helicopter.
A flight nurse, Aspen has spent her life putting everyone else first and herself last, making herself small to avoid messy complications. But the universe seems determined to upend that when it puts the complicated hotshot in her path.
Now, with no avoiding each other, will they be able to ignore the fire burning between them—or will they let it consume them?
Lily knows she is easier to love in small doses. Wellness Influencer, Lily Long, appears to have it all together now. A decade ago she left her small town and her teen marriage behind, starting over…and over…and over. Searching for a place to belong she’s constantly trying to to fit the expectations others seem to have of her.
River knows old secrets could destroy his chances with the one who got away. River Hendrix, is an anxious shell of his old goofball self. After taking over the family business from his ailing father, he has worked diligently to prove he’s worthy and capable of growing their multi-generation town legacy. This single-minded pursuit might have come at the cost of his personal life, but what does it matter when the girl of his dreams left town long ago?
Now Lily is returning to Peacock Springs to celebrate their friend's engagement. Will Lily’s carefully curated facade survive the close-up scrutiny of those who love her best? Will River find the confidence to admit to her how he’s always felt? Luckily their meddling friends see this opportunity to bring Lily home, help River relax, and reunite their little “fr-amily.” That is, so long as everyone can survive the fallout of the secret River’s held onto and a weird town mandate they can’t make go away.
Are they flying towards the adventure of a lifetime or just running from the past?
Obsessed with these covers! 😆 My dear Lennox Lovelies, I've been having some fun bookish creativity over here, but it isn't writing... 👀👀👀 As most of you know, I design my own book covers. This is because I (a) fundamentally believe I can learn any skill myself like a delulu potato, and (b) have zero respect for my own time. Kidding. ... Mostly. 😆 Truth be told, I've always had a little self-taught graphic design gremlin inside me (rawr), and I've let her out to play a bit more than usual...

Plotting and scheming My Lennox Lovelies, I'm in that season of "between books" and sometimes it's hard to know what to share with you beautiful humans. The truth is, I've been getting into the weeds with book four and it's been fun but slow-going. I'm working at the ol' day job a bit more since January, and I don't have as much time (or brains) to devote to writing as I wish I had! That, combined with *gestures at everything* is a bit of a drag. Creativity is hard to really tuck into right...
