The Cartographer is here! It’s bittersweet for me to write that as Rey’s book is the sixth and final book in the Compass series. I’ve been working on this series since I started my publishing career, and it will be strange to no longer share a world with these characters. But I’m very excited to finally give Rey his hard-earned HEA. You can get The Cartographer now at the following places:

And for my audio fans, there’s a simultaneous release! Amazon iTunes

What People are Saying About The Cartographer

“Funny, sexy, and touching. Parker has created two highly memorable characters—I didn’t want to let them go.” —J.A. Rock, Award Winning Author of The Subs Club series

“I’ve been dying for Rey’s book since the very first time I read Personal Geography. The perfect and smokin’ hot resolution to a series I adore.” —Amy Jo Cousins, Author of the Bend or Break series

“The Cartographer isn’t just scorchingly hot, it’s a gorgeous slow burn love story that had me breathless for the happy ever after from the very first chapter. There’s nothing sexier than watching a control freak lose control as they’re overtaken by love.” —Misha Horne, Author of Old School Discipline

A few romance writers got together and what started out as a joke on Twitter has become a labor of love and a real actual real book. You can pick up Rogue Desire now:

Someday, I will manage to get a blog post, newsletter, and all my social media out on release day. This release is not the one…

However, the good news is that HIS CUSTODY is here! HC is a contemporary guardian/ward erotic romance, which isn’t something you see everyday. I wrote about why not at Heroes and Heartbreakers. It’s a book that will press some buttons, but I hope readers find in Jasper and Keyne a couple to root for, who are meant to be together.

He needs to be a better man for her sake, but she makes him want to be so bad…
 
Keyne O’Connell leads a charmed life. She has a caring family and a terrific boyfriend. Her senior year is about to begin, and her future looks bright. But one dark summer night robs her of everyone she loves, thrusting her into the care of her boyfriend’s intimidating, much older brother.

Dark and brooding, Jasper Andersson is not a good man. His business dealings are barely legal. He’s a womanizer and a casual drug user. He has no interest in becoming Keyne’s guardian, although given her limited options, he doesn’t have much of a choice. He knows he must protect her at whatever the cost.

But living in close quarters soon stirs up feelings inside them both that are far from platonic. Keyne needs a firm hand to keep her in line, but what she desires could lead Jasper into trouble…

I also wanted to give a rec for a book that’s coming out on 3/28. HOLD ME DOWN by Sara Taylor Woods is a kinky coming of age story and it’s the best kind of intense: the emotions are raw, the kink is hot, and the love is sweet.

Talia Benson has always been independent, unafraid to go after what she wants, regardless of setback, injury, or failure. But between her father’s conditional tuition payments and her mother’s nagging concern over her emotional state, Talia’s suffocating.

So when Talia meets doctoral student Sean Poole, she can’t figure out why she wants him to control her. Why she wants him to boss her around. Why she wants him to hurt her.

Talia learns the hard way that not all control is created equal, and sometimes submitting is the most empowering thing in the world.

Hold Me Down is Available for Pre-Order now:

Amazon iBooks Barnes & Noble

Due South is out in audio! If you’ve been waiting to listen to Evans and Lucy’s adorkable holiday office romance, you can now. Due South is very light on the BDSM, although these two are still kinky as all get out, just in more of a voyeur/exhibitionist/role-play kind of way. They do it everywhere except in a bed. If you’re worried about reading a holiday romance out of season, don’t be–the holiday feel isn’t overwhelming. And did I mention that they’re adorkable? You can get your paws on them at Amazon, iTunes, or directly from Insatiable.

It feels like it’s been forever in the making, but Due South, the fifth book in the Compass series is finally here. When I first thought to write Evans and Lucy’s story, I was positive that it would be a sweet little relatively chaste holiday novella. But, as sometimes happens, as I wrote, it turned into a full-on novel and also far filthier than I had thought. These characters would just Not. Stop. DOING IT. And in semi-public places to boot. But I was right about one thing: they’re very sweet, and I think 90% of reviews have mentioned the word adorkable.

So if you’re in the mood for a sweet and filthy holiday office romance (which can be read as a standalone), Lucy and Evans have got you covered. Available now at Amazon, ARe, B&N, Google Play, iBooks, and kobo.

“Sweet, adorable, funny, filthy, dirty fun. This book has everything you want!” ~ Binge on Books

Cecilia Grant’s A Lady Awakened was not only one of my favorite reads this year, but is one of my top romances I’ve read, EVER. And lucky you, it’s currently on sale for 99 cents! Excellent use of your book dollars, and if you love it like I did, there are THREE other books in the series.

Available now at Amazon, ARe, B&N, Google Play, iBooks, and kobo.

My girl Amy Jo Cousins has a new book out, and it’s a holiday romance! I mean, just look at this cover, it screams CURL UP BY A FIRE WITH ME AND SOME HOT COCOA! It also earned an A from Smart Bitches, so you know it’s good. PLUS (as if you needed another reason), some of the proceeds go to charity <3

Available now at Amazon, ARe, B&N, iBooks, and kobo.

Old School Discipline is currently on sale for 99 cents, and included in your subscription for those of you who are Kindle Unlimited members! Old School Discipline is on my holiday TBR pile because it’s supposed to be 100,000 words of spankaliciousness. Which is precisely what I could use at the end of this year. So kick up your feet, and join me in some serious pleasure reading.

Available at Amazon now.

My traditional publishing debut is finally out in the world! It seems like forever ago that I was writing this book. So long ago in fact that my friend Elisabeth Lane (of Cooking Up Romance) had to remind me that when this book was just a wee WIP on my hard drive that I referred to it as #TechnicalVirginHero. So, welcome to the world, TVH, I’m glad you made it! You can pick up my teacher-student (sort of) romance at all the vendors:

Amazon iBooks Barnes & Noble

Google Play Kobo

From the USA Today bestselling author of the Compass Series, the teacher becomes the student in a tale of forbidden romance in the hallowed halls of an elite, all-boys boarding school…

Erin Brewster is nervous enough on her first day of teaching at Hawthorn Hill. But the way Zach Shepherd looks at her with his dark and dreamy blue eyes really throws her off her game. He simply has to walk past her to send her heart racing. Although he’s eighteen and a senior, he’s still just a student—and very off limits. To let her eyes linger over his body, to fulfill her fantasies would be more than inappropriate. It would be career suicide.

Three years after his graduation from Hawthorn, Shep has returned as a member of the faculty—and he hasn’t forgotten his favorite teacher, the prettiest woman he’s ever seen. When they finally have a chance to get to know each other, they realize they share a common interest: kink. In fact, Shep has learned a lot about the subject during his time away and is ready to teach Erin a thing or two. He’ll soon have her begging to be held after class.

As their relationship comes under scrutiny, the ties that bind Shep and Erin may begin to fray. But some bonds grow stronger under pressure…

And, as promised, news for fans of the Compass series. Book 5 is up for pre-order and will release on December 12th! DUE SOUTH was supposed to be a sweet little holiday novella, a cute HEA for the people who bear the brunt of Hurricane India–her assistant, Lucy, and her co-worker, Evans. But when I started writing, it turned out that these people were not the adorable little moppets they appeared to be. No, they were filthy! Adorkable, yes, but also dirty, dirty, dirty.

DUE SOUTH is up for pre-order at the following vendors, more to come:

Amazon iBooks  Kobo

Lucy Miller has worked her way up from coffee-fetcher and copy-maker to invaluable assistant. She’s proud of her accomplishments, but she’s looking forward to a break from her demanding boss; a visit home is just the Christmas treat she needs.

Diligent and unassuming, Chanoch Evans has avoided relationships not just out of shyness, but because he doesn’t feel like he has anything to offer—most of his resources are devoted to his war-veteran younger brother.

When a desperate plea from their boss ruins their holiday plans, Lucy and Evans are stuck in an otherwise empty office with only each other for company. After catching their boss in flagrante, they start to see that each other’s mild workplace personas might be just the tip of the iceberg. Despite the prohibition against fraternization between employees, there may be more than kissing going on underneath this mistletoe…

You know if there’s that much alliteration involved, it must be good. AND IT IS.

And if you’re more of an audio fan, I’ve got more good news! TRUE NORTH is now available in audio from iTunes, Amazon, Audible, and direct from Insatiable’s website.

Four months ago, Slade Lewis got to fulfill his wildest, long-repressed BDSM fantasies during a one-night stand. Since then, getting more has been the only thing on his mind.

When Slade manages to earn the keys to Reyes Walter’s kinky kingdom, he finds himself face-to-face with none other than Pressly Allwyn, the pearl-bedecked love of his life whom he pushed into divorce six years ago.

Now she’s back, and the fetish he was afraid would drive them apart instead draws them together. They indulge in their common kink together, but past hurts and old insecurities complicate any relationship outside their erotic exploits. Caught between the worlds of hot-button politics and even hotter bedroom games, Pressly and Slade will have to decide how far they’re willing to go for a second chance at happily ever after.
