Hi! I’m Jo. I write character-driven steamy romance. My stories tend to come in serials because I love complications. I find nothing’s spicier than characters taking a life of their own.So prepare for adventurous scenarios, very sophisticated friendships, dangerous games, power plays, leading ladies, sexy tricksters, and handsome princes in distress. I like dark alpha males as well as vulnerable cuties. And my female characters tend to come with a rebel streak or a temper. Sue me.You can read stories out of order if you’re just here for a one-night stand. Or you can climb in for the entire ride, thrills, emotions and all. That’s up to you.Firsts in series will generally be free. When a story arc is done, bundles will ensue, and they will read like novels, with a Happily Ever After, or at least a Happy For Now. Stay tuned!

Just Behind That Door

January came back, cold and rough after a lonely New Year’s Eve. I mean, I had gone to the mandatory party, had even laughed and danced and met friends there. But until my roommates Sean and Adam returned from their Christmas break and we could get all sorted out, other, simpler friends didn’t really have the power to pull me out of my funk.

After locking me up for a full (albeit short) night of anger, frustration, disbelief and vicious revenge plotting in the tower room at his family home, Sean had come back in the morning to set me free.

I’ve thought about it all night, he’d said, looking pale and wan and miserable. It’s best you leave right now. Go home. It’s best for everybody.

I knew exactly what it meant. I can’t open myself up to you, it’s too dangerous and I’m terrified. Please go so I don’t have to face a nervous breakdown while I deal with my family, shield my little sister from my abusive father and useless drunk of a mother, and stifle my own violent urges to kill said father.

I could understand. His plate was quite full, and I wouldn’t have wished his nightmares on anyone. I’d caught a glimpse of his problem, just a tiny clue, and I was terrified myself. I didn’t want to impose.

I tried to talk with him, of course, but he was
