whose POV is it?
third-person single-POV: Preston D'Arcy.
🙋 Is the title a cheeky double entendre like R&V?
Yes. Absolutely. However, please note: this is a thoroughly poly setup, and there’s no cheating in this book. Everybody’s all on board. Everard said he “had no wish to intrude on [D’Arcy’s] relations with other men,” and I need you to take him at his word.
🤯 But wait, sapphic lady pirates?!
Never fear! So, when I wrote R&V half a decade ago, I’d hoped publishers would pick it up as a 3-book series. The plan was to continue with D’Arcy’s POV as a Book Two spinoff and Prin’s story as a Book Three. This year, I earnestly meant to release R&V as a standalone. (Books are expensive to produce, folks.) But the response to the book has been so amazing, I’ve decided I’m just going to roll with the original plan. I think folks will understand why once they read this one. Please buy it so I have the means to produce Prin's book, too!!
Will there be ARCs/NetGalley/BookSirens?
This is TBD! If you want to be notified about arcs either way, I have a signup list below. :)
🎧 Audiobook?
I have no idea. I hope so! It’s not up to me! If lots of folks pick up the audio of R&V it’s more likely future books will get one, too!

cover reveal: june 2026
New York City, 1905.Investigative journalist (and fierce anti-capitalist) Laurie Tulley is no stranger to the sins rich men commit in the name of profit. He’s made a front-page career out of unearthing the injustices of industry.But when his editor turns his sights onto wealthy glass industrialist Charles "Chary" Wright, Laurie sees neither injustice nor sensationalism. All the openly queer and once-disowned Fifth Avenue businessman seems to have is a dead brother, a bizarre inheritance of a blueberry farm, and a lotta trauma.Chary has his secrets, however: the big, life-ending kind. When Laurie comes snooping, he’s determined the reporter won’t find them out, no matter how handsome he is.Then a worker from the glass factory is murdered. Chary himself is brutally attacked. As Laurie uncovers murder after past murder, he realizes there’s a story to be written after all… so long as he can keep a professional distance.And when Chary finds himself in the arms of the very man meant to be his ruin, he must confront exactly how far he’ll go for love—and just which ghosts he’s willing to bring forth from the past.

ANOTHER BOOK!! how do you write so quickly?!
