Let's meet one of the Harrison brothers! ❤️


Brandon Harrison is a private investigator, a devoted father of two, and a husband who still knows exactly how to make his wife smile after more than ten years of marriage.


During the day, you'll find him at Harrison Brothers Investigations, working alongside his brothers Tyler and Caleb. He's observant, patient, and isn't afraid to dig a little deeper when something doesn't add up. His latest case involves private photographs, fabricated messages, and a blackmailer who seems determined to destroy a woman's marriage. The evidence is starting to point somewhere interesting, but Brandon knows that suspicion and proof are two very different things.


When he heads home, though, he's just Brandon. He's the dad helping with dinner and listening to his daughter's latest adventures, and the husband who remembers Sabrina's favorite foods, surprises her with lunch, and still finds plenty of ways to keep their marriage exciting. And trust me, these two haven't forgotten how to have a little fun together! 😉


If you enjoy romantic suspense with an established marriage, family moments, brotherly banter, a little spice, and a mystery to solve, come meet Brandon in Handle With Restraint, the first book in my Hearts, Lies & Alibis trilogy!


📖 FREE to read on Inkitt! Chapter 18, Dinner and a Game, releases tonight at 6 p.m. Central. New chapters arrive Monday through Thursday!


Now, I've got a question for you! Which quality makes a romance hero irresistible to you: his intelligence, his loyalty, his sense of humor, or the way he treats the person he loves? Or is it a combination of all four?

Homestead & Lifestyle Updates

Our well pump went out again! We replaced it three years ago, and since it sits about 400 feet down, pulling it up and replacing it again wasn’t a simple option. We ended up getting a meter installed and running a waterline so we could get water through the company Chris works for. I’m so thankful for his job, and he was pretty happy to be the one installing our water meter. lol.


I’m also dealing with a small eye issue that I’m hoping clears up soon. My right eye is chronically dry and now has a little blister-like spot on it, so I’ve been wearing my glasses. It’s irritating but thankfully doesn’t hurt. Some weeks are boring around here, and other weeks apparently need to make up for it! I hope y’all had a better week than we did.

Handle With Restraint is getting close to the finish line! We should be wrapping up November 11th or 12th, which means it’s almost time to decide where we’re headed next. Make sure you vote in our latest poll so I know which story y’all want to dive into after Brandon and Sabrina!


Thank you for keeping me company through the book news and the homestead chaos. Hopefully, next week’s update involves fewer repairs and more words written!

Imagine someone getting their hands on private photographs you had taken for your spouse. Now imagine that person demanding money, fabricating evidence of an affair, and threatening to destroy your marriage if you don't cooperate.


That's exactly the nightmare Kendra Dahl finds herself living in Handle With Restraint.


When Kendra hires Brandon Harrison to find the person blackmailing her, she hopes he can put an end to the threats before her husband discovers what's happening. Unfortunately, the blackmailer isn't willing to let things go, and now the situation has become even more complicated.


Brandon and his brother Tyler are following the evidence, questioning those who had access to the photographs, and trying to figure out who's responsible. But someone knows more than they're letting on, and the brothers still have plenty of questions that need answers.


Handle With Restraint, the first book in my Hearts, Lies & Alibis trilogy, is FREE to read on Inkitt! Chapter 15, A Little Something for Ourselves, releases tonight at 6 p.m. Central, and new chapters arrive Monday through Thursday.


Now, I've got a question for you! If someone you trusted was being blackmailed, would you try to investigate it yourself, or would you hire a private investigator to uncover the truth?
Come meet the Harrison brothers and see if you can solve the mystery alongside them!

Why do so many romance books focus on falling in love, but so few show us what happens after the wedding?


Don't get me wrong, I love watching two people find each other and fall in love, but there's something special about a couple who has spent years building a life together and still can't keep their hands off each other.
In Handle With Restraint, Brandon and Sabrina Harrison have been married for over ten years. They have two beautiful children, busy careers, family responsibilities, and all the everyday chaos that comes with raising a family. But none of that has stopped them from flirting, teasing, and finding ways to keep their marriage exciting.


And when Brandon's latest private investigation involves some rather intimate photographs, well, let's just say his wife might benefit from a little inspiration!


If you're looking for a romance that doesn't end at the wedding, come meet Brandon and Sabrina in Handle With Restraint, the first book in the Hearts, Lies & Alibis trilogy!
FREE to read on Inkitt! Chapter 13, All of Us Here, releases tonight at 6 p.m. Central, with new chapters arriving Monday through Thursday.


Now, I'm curious! Why do you think so many romance books focus on falling in love instead of staying in love? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Homestead & Lifestyle Updates
Last weekend, we brought home two more duck hens! Chris said he wanted ducks with hats, and I found ducks with hats. Ask and you shall receive, sir. lol.


Beth and our drake, Bigfoot, have officially been joined by Brittany and Barbara—Bobby for short!


Other than that, the homestead has been pretty quiet. The wildlife has kept us entertained, though. Bucks have been spotted all over the place, along with a small gray fox and her pup, and a young bobcat. Apparently, everyone is making their rounds.


Hope Fontaine News
Handle With Restraint is starting to chug along now that I’m about halfway through. Brandon has finally started helping me out a little, but Sabrina takes the win. She’s doing her part to keep this story moving!


A quick scheduling note: there won’t be a new chapter on Monday. With James releasing that day, there’s just too much going on, so I’ve shifted this coming week’s chapter releases back one day. Your next chapter will arrive Tuesday!


That’s what’s happening around here! What have y’all been up to?

Someone has a secret, and someone else is willing to exploit it. 👀


When a woman walks into Harrison Brothers Investigations with a blackmail problem, Brandon Harrison finds himself working a case that could destroy more than just someone's reputation.


Private photos. Threatening emails. A growing demand for money.


And a question that needs answering...
Who had access to those pictures?
Brandon and his brothers have some investigating to do, and you're invited to follow the clues!

That's a wrap for the Harrison brothers on Inkitt!


All 6 books in the Naughty Christmas Series have packed their bags, grabbed their handcuffs and ropes, and are headed back to Kindle Unlimited for the Christmas season! 🔥


A huge thank you to everyone who subscribed, read, commented, and spent time with Caleb, Tyler, Brandon, and their ladies. ❤️

Same naughty brothers. Same steamy romances. Just a different reading home! 😉


🎁 Hope to see you over on Kindle Unlimited!
Happy reading! ❤️

Walking into a private investigator’s office is one thing. Sitting down and explaining something you can barely bring yourself to say? That takes a different kind of courage.

In the opening chapters of Handle With Restraint, Kendra brings Brandon a problem she never expected to face. And the Harrison brothers have their first real opportunity to put their heads together.


Quiet observation, plenty of questions, and brothers who know each other a little too well... I’ve loved getting these three back in the same room.

Let’s put ourselves in the client’s chair for a moment: Would you find it easier to confide in someone you know—or a stranger whose job is to help?
You don’t have to have started reading to weigh in.

Homestead & Lifestyle Updates
This week, I took Jo to the doctor to figure out what had been going on with her stomach. Turns out she'd had a stomach bug that was made worse by her anemia... and the fact that she'd stopped taking her iron supplements months ago.

Sometimes we have to learn lessons the hard way because apparently listening to Mom the first time is too easy.

Thankfully, the rest of the week was pretty quiet.
Our duck hen, Beth, has decided her crate is no longer an acceptable nesting location. She's moved her nest into the sand right beside their food bowl. Whatever works for her! I'm not sure if she's trying to hide her eggs from me or from our mysterious egg thief. Maybe both.

Our neighbor and friend BJ also brought home a bull calf for his cow this week. From what we've seen so far... I think she likes him!

We are officially counting down to Ruthless Legacy release day!


I now have three of the four commissioned pieces of artwork, which means we're almost there. I'm just waiting on that final piece to complete everything.


And now we're officially less than one month away from Amber and Micah's story hitting your Kindles!
Let's Chat
Ruthless Legacy is less than a month away! If you’ve been following Amber and Micah, what are you most hoping to see from their story—more of their marriage, the pregnancy, Amber’s past coming back for her, or the Roses dealing with another threat?
