Yeah, it's been a damn long time. I bet you're wondering if I gave up this writing gig. Hell no. The opposite happened. I got so wrapped up in all my characters that they fueled me hard. Since the last update, I've written two full novels and put down hundreds of pages on THREE more. Holy hell help me *wink*
My huge apologies for zero news since Kelly (O'Sullivan Brothers book 2). I couldn't even think beyond getting my characters' voices out of my head and onto the page for months and months. It hasn't exactly stopped but . . . 
First things first!

I didn’t know The Lykos was 𝘩𝘪𝘴 nightclub, not at first. I didn’t realize the sexy half Greek half Russian man was the criminal mastermind behind Dubai’s thriving mafia underworld either. I’m not even supposed to be roaming around on my own, outside of the royal palace where my father the Sheikh rules my very existence, but I just can’t resist the lure of dancing . . . the lure of 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯, Aris Volkov.


After one night at The Lykos—when the club comes under attack by my deranged uncle—I’m forced from one captivity to another. That’s right. Aris takes me. He kidnaps me. He despises my father as much as I do, and he’s just ruthless enough to use me to get what he wants . . . 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. 


I used to fantasize about Aris but now I’m determined to hate him. Easier said than done. He treats me like his own personal plaything, introducing me to delights of the flesh. He doesn’t care that I’m a royal princess. That my modesty has been protected all my life. That I have zero experience with men and I’m embarrassingly out of my depths. 


He takes me. He uses me. 𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮.


There is no escape anymore. Now my lunatic uncle is after me. My father is threatening to strip me of even the smallest liberties in my lackluster life. And Aris Volkov is the least likely man to be my savior.

And what happened was . . . 
I signed up for the Global Outlaws collaboration in spring 2021, so after I published Kelly, I knew I had to write Possessing the Princess to make sure I got it done and also so I could snag an earlier release date, which I did. 
After that, I dove right into Dex! O'Sullivan Brothers book 3. 'Course by that time, it was the holidays, and you know how that goes. Christmas, my hubs birthday, mine, and the NYE all in one week's time so . . . 
And then! While writing Dex, more characters in that world exploded and took over. And, well, I was writing not just Dex's book, but three others at the same damn time. 
Now Dex rough draft is done, woo hoo! I'm about to start editing. You can look for release date and preorder info coming soon--yussss. 
Damage's book is now gonna be number FIVE. What? Why? Because, you'll see when you read Dex's book that another set of characters you'll be intro'd to there are making their own crazy mess for an unexpected book four! And, y'all, it's M/M! I'm so freakin' excited. 
And finally, I have decided on a separate series epilogue for book six. Oh yes. How could I not? Those assholes already made me start writing it. 
I hope you're as excited as I am, because I'm bubbling over. Even though my annoying people have been making me wake up early with a million scenes to write *wink*

The O'Sullivan brothers mafia . . . dark, dirty, and oh so delicious. 
And more on the way!

He’s the underboss in his mafia brotherhood, and women have no place in his world. As a good girl with an overprotective dad, she’s been warned against his kind time and again. But when her father’s corruption shatters her world, he all but forces her into the mafioso’s bed.

After my dad’s secrets and lies blow up in his face, he bargains with the only priceless gem he has . . .𝑚𝑒. He practically gives me away to none other than Kelly O’Sullivan, a rough-talking mafia man he’s warned me about for years. 
I’m infuriated I’ve been put in this dicey position. It’s my father who should pay the price for his double dealing, not me. It’s impossible. 𝐾𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑦 is impossible. He’s intimidating. Overbearing. Scary. 𝑆𝑒𝑥𝑦. He dominates me from day one, taking a wrecking ball to my defenses and wreaking havoc with my desires. 
I’m pretty sure I hate him. I definitely don’t trust him. But when the cartel makes it clear they want me too, what other choice do I have?

“I was nervous for this book as it’s the last in this awesome series and the fact I’ve loved Bane for a long time. But Rie didn’t disappoint me at all and I soon realised I had nothing to be nervous about. I don’t know where to start with this so forgive me...... these characters are EVERYTHING especially Bane. Bane oh Bane!!!!! He is sooo HOT!!!!” ~Kinky Kittens Book Blog
 
“As I've come to expect, Warren delivers a tale of love and duty, populated by badass soldiers and the women strong enough to love them. I have loved this series and looked forward to each installment. So sorry to see it finish, but I loved the way Warren brought closure for the team. Bravo, Rie. Can't wait to read more from you.” ~Author Gemma Brocato
 
“What a book hangover!! Bane, swoon! Male alpha that can literally do no wrong in my book. Throw in Kiki Damage more like Kinky Kiki and you have an explosion.” ~Amazon review

Sexy excerpt/SEXCERPT time! NSFW . . . oooh yeah. 

WE PICKED UP SOME street food on the way to our safe house, but my appetite had disappeared. I barely touched any of the spicy burrito, downing another bottle of water followed by several neat shots of tequila while Kiki and I juggled plates on our knees.
“You got your head back on straight after the coke?” Kiki finished eating her tamales, and relaxed back on the couch to nurse her drink.
I grunted in reply.
“You must be. Back to your old ways, I see.” She drizzled more alcohol into her throat.
I watched her swallow, wishing the liquid coating her tongue was my come.
Things to like about Kiki Damage:
Her slamming body.
Her takes no shit ’tude.
Her smarts.
Those crystal clear eyes.
Check to all those things.
Things not to like?
I still didn’t know for certain she hadn’t sold out Walker’s op.
And I had to kill her.
She swirled the glass between her tattooed hands. “You were funny though. And I’m pretty sure it wasn’t just the blow.”
“You want funny?” I stood slowly and tried not to limp as I made my way toward her.
Her slim eyebrows arching, she looked up at me. Her wet lips parted, her tongue stroking the glossy surface. Her gaze skimmed down from my hard face to my broad chest, to my black jeans. To my groin, where the solid roll of flesh distorted the fabric.
“That doesn’t look funny.” Her voice dropped to a sexy, husky tone. “Looks like some serious business.”
“Why don’t you take care of it?”
“How’s the leg?”
“I think if you wanted to give me head I’d feel a whole lot better.” Reaching for her face, I traced the slant of her cheekbone with one finger.
“Is that what you were thinking about the whole time you were watching me eat?” She grasped my wrist, drawing my finger to her mouth. “My lips on your cock?”
“Yeah.” Small lie.
She sucked and bit the pad of my finger before enveloping it to the knuckles in the warm wetness of her mouth. The sensation fisted a tight knot right up under my balls, bringing me to full hardness.
She slid the digit from her mouth with a wet, luxurious slurp. Placing a palm flat on my belly, she pushed me back. Kiki rose to her feet.
“Come with me, baby.” She took my hand in hers, leading me up the stairs.
I stumbled for a second, cursing the fucking leg wound.
Kiki pushed her shoulder under mine. “You can lean on me, you know? I won’t crumble.”
“Thought I got enough of the naughty nurse treatment last night.” I gruffly accepted her help.
“And I wasn’t even wearing the slutty uniform,” she quipped.
Damn woman. She pulled another smile from me. “Now, that I’d like to see.”
She pouted, trailing a finger down the center of my chest. “Didn’t bring one to Mexico.”
We made it to the bedroom we’d staked out the night before, and Kiki turned on the light beside the bed. With her bent over, her ass looked nice and ripe in her tight jeans, but I needed her naked.
“Strip,” I ordered, my voice coming from deep in my chest.
She flipped her hair over her shoulder, glancing at me. “Sexy striptease?”
“Don’t care. Just show me you.” Arousal dug deep into my groin, an almost stabbing pain heightened by the desire to have her beneath me, parted by my cock in her cunt.
Kiki started slow, swaying her shoulders, swinging her hips, and I watched, my eyes drawn to the sight. The shirt rolled up above her breasts, and she slung it aside. It only took a quick twist behind her back and her bra slipped from her shoulders, hanging for just a tantalizing second from her puffed-up nipples.
When the scrap of blue lace fell to the floor, I rubbed a hand across my watering mouth. A beautiful handful, her breasts stood proud and firm on her chest, the areolas a nice sucking size—pink and peaked.
Crooking a finger at her, I beckoned her toward me.
She slinked forward—swinging her hips, adding a little dip and roll to her step.
The woman was nonstop sex in combat boots.
Jesus.
“These tits.” I grasped both mounds in a firm grip.
I practically mauled her, running a strong arm around her back to make sure her knees didn’t give out when she immediately started moaning.
Using my mouth, my hands, I bent her farther back. Tweaking. Twisting. Twirling the tight pink buds, shaping her breasts, licking and pulling them into my mouth.
I kissed from one tit to the other, abrading them with my stubbled chin. Keeping them hot and taut while her body arched further over my arm.
“I thought you wanted me to undress?” She asked, breathy, nearly voiceless.
“Got distracted.” I ran my hand from her neck to the center of her chest down her belly.
Then I shoved my fingers into the front of her pants. Slipping beneath panties, I found her smooth slit and slid two fingers into her wet sheath.
Her fingers bit into my forearm. “Oh, fuck . . .”
Kiki’s hair fell over the arm I latched around her back. She swiveled in my grasp, rising to meet the mouth hungrily pulsing on her tits, dipping to drive my fingers even deeper inside where she quivered and clutched.
She came in a silent scream of an orgasm, her eyes slammed shut, her mouth ovaled open. She weaved on my hand, the sucking wet warmth taking my digits ever deeper.
Inhaling with a trembling breath, she drew up and clasped my shoulders. She buried her face against my neck—licking, sucking, kissing.
“My legs are about to give out.” She laughed, a sultry quiver to the sound.
“Good. That’s exactly where I want you. Down on your knees.”

Authors with Southern Charm Happened!
​WARNING: You're gonna see a lot of my face in this newsletter. You might wanna back off now, js. 

So Many Things! I met tons of folks here in Charleston, SC, my head is still spinning--in a good way (not like freaky chick in The Exorcist). What a freakin' fabulous time!

​There were pictures galore . . . 

I met women who'd read my books (so super cool!), and re-read them before meeting me (I bow down). I got hugs and had the chance to hang out with some seriously amazing Street Team women I've been dying to squeeze. 

I had an entire weekend with my PA, Joelle Mendes (oh my lord, I'm so used to being on Facebook I almost put an @ in front of her name. Yup.). Joelle is beyond freaking BOSS. She is truly one of the best.

Met new friends, amazing authors all over the place . . . and then there was that one drunk lady. Ummm. We won't go there, but it wasn't me. BTW, writer Ahren Sanders has to be the most kind hearted, fun loving, completely genuine person I've ever met. We didn't get a picture together. *sad face*

Shout outs to: Robin, Tara, Carol, Mist, Lachelle, Esther, Christine, SALEM BUG ARCHER (and her lovely mom who came to the signing. How sweet!).

Roomies? Maybe.

Romance? Never.

That’s what she said.
