Unexpected Hero Redeemed has hit a snag. Well, the story hasn’t, but the author writing it has. Sadly, it didn’t release on April 29th as planned. Why?
Fantastic question.
It’s simply not ready.
This book has taken its toll on me. If you’ve read the first book in the duet (or Rival Hero), then you know that this couple goes through some “shit” on their way to their happy ending. Well, life imitates art because I’ve gone through some shit too. Writing a book when you’re in a bad head space isn’t the greatest recipe for success.
After some personal and professional setbacks earlier this year, I entered a bit of burnout. My imposter syndrome also kicked up the afterburners. Although I’ve written 150k words in this book, they aren’t the best words. Well, they aren’t yet. I’m doing a lot of deep editing and getting feedback from my editing and review partners to ensure I give Tomer, Lettie, and my readers the most epic conclusion to this love story.
I won’t release it until it shines!
The good news?
I’ve definitely exited the burnout phase and words are flowing beautifully again. I’m thrilled with how the story is progressing and have every confidence that it’ll be worth the wait.
As for when?
Soon. I don’t want to put as definite date on it again, because I’ve done that about three times so far and haven’t hit it once. I’m just going to write and edit, making it fabulous and release it as soon as I can. That’s my promise! I’ll give you the best story I can just as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the presale here on my site is still live so you can secure your early access e-book copy for only $3.99. The Amazon preorder was cancelled after some drama with them (typical). If you’ve already preordered Bossy Hero on Amazon, then keep it! There’s a chance that I’ll simply edit that title to be Unexpected Hero Redeemed and release it in May. When/if that occurs, I’ll create a new preorder for Bossy Hero.
Speaking of Bossy Hero, I expect that to release in the summer. The preorder on Amazon will either cancel later in May OR be converted to Unexpected Hero Redeemed. More to come when I get shit sorted.
I cannot thank you enough for coming with me on this journey and for your unending support. The love you’ve shown me and my books is awe inspiring. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Now, Tomer and Lettie are calling so off I go to make the magic!
Love, Jackie
Unexpected Hero – the fifth book in the Redleg Security series (and the first book in the Unexpected Duet) is coming to Amazon and Kindle Unlimited on January 15, 2024.
Go ahead and pre-order it now on Amazon. You can also pre-order a signed paperback of the original or the discreet cover in my signed book shop.
Once again, I’m giving you a thick boy of a book. And once again… it’s my biggest one. AND IT’S NOT EVEN THEIR FULL STORY! Sigh. Lettie and Tomer were very insistent that they get a long, love-filled, laugh-filled and angsty romance. They are definitely two of my most complex and deep characters. And their love is simply beautiful. I adore them. Early reviews are in love and declaring that he’s no longer the “Nofunfuck” and instead, he’s THE top Redleg hero. Those are big words.
The spice is sizzling. Their chemistry is explosive. The emotions are gut wrenching. The swoons are so freaking swoony. And the love is palpable.
I cannot wait to get this book in your hands.
(And don’t worry… I’m working fast as I can to finish book two so you don’t have too long of a wait in between them.)
CONTENT WARNING: If you have “triggers, check out this link. (it also includes the kinks and tropes). This book is a touch darker than my other books (but if you read Rival Hero, you probably know why consider the heroine’s journey). But my Beta readers and ARC team has assured me it wasn’t “too” dark, which was my goal.

Rival Hero – the fourth book in the Redleg Security series — is coming to Amazon and Kindle Unlimited on July 31, 2023.
Go ahead and pre-order it now on Amazon. You can also pre-order a signed paperback of the original or the discreet cover in my signed book shop.
Once again, I’m giving you a thick boy of a book. My biggest yet. Sigh. I feel like I say that with each release. But Mia and Klein are so damn worth it. There’s more suspense in this book than ever. Plenty of “what the fuck?!” energy too. My early readers are loving every juicy minute of it.
And the spice. OMG the spice! Early readers are head over heels for sweet Klein and his sudden Dom awakening. How can a sweet angel man who bakes pies with his mother and ballroom dances be the same man who pulls hair and orders her to choke on his thing? Guess you’ll have to read this book to find out.
With this spicy swoony book, you’ll get:
- A one night stand type of meet cute
- Surprise workplace rivals
- Forced to work together in the same office
- Snark and banter
- Cinnamon roll hero with a Dom awakening
- A little punishment here and there (can you say bjology?)
- A heroine who does him wrong at the beginning, but makes up for it in a big way by the end
- Twists and turns galore
- BUTT STUFF!
- Who is Violet Holt?
- Praise and degradation on a very willing participant (Don’t worry if you’ve never read degradation before. I’ve got some early readers who were scared but ended up LOVING hot it unfolded. Trust me, baby.)
- Swoons galore at this man
- My spiciest bonus epilogue ever
CONTENT WARNING: If you have “triggers, take a look at this list. Caution some minor/unavoidable spoilers! Don’t worry or be scared by this, though. I’m just being cautious about content warnings because I respect and love my readers. It’s not like I’m suddenly going “dark” or anything. It’s still a feel good Jackie Walker romance and all sensitive subjects are handled with care and respect, like in my past books.

Comeback Hero – the third book in the Redleg Security series — is coming to Amazon and Kindle Unlimited on Feb. 28, 2023.
Go ahead and pre-order it now on Amazon. (Oh, and I will have signed copies of this beautiful paperback available in my store in a few weeks!)
Kri and Shep’s story is a long one (it’s a thick boy). But it’s all worth it in the end. Shep is Kri’s partner in every sense of the word outside the bedroom and a take control alpha inside the bedroom – while always ensuring consent and making sure she feels all the love she never had before. He’s so damn swoony! These two compliment each other so well and the teenager who they are protecting will definitely win your heart!
The men and women of Redleg Security are back for more action and adventure (and a few laughs) in Comeback Hero.
- Coworkers/Workplace Romance
- Forced Proximity
- Persistent Hero & Reluctant Heroine
- A true friendship that turns to so much more
- Suddenly “parents” (guardians to a snarky teen)
- Caring for each other when in need (her in the hospital; him with PTSD)
- Soft Dom Energy (all the praise; no degradation)
- Suspenseful story with RomCom vibes and plenty of laughs
CONTENT WARNING: If you have “triggers” – be sure to read the content warning at the start of the book (immediately following the dedication). You can also click the following link to be taken to a separate page that lists the warnings in more detail. Don’t worry or be scared by this, though. I’m just being more cautious about content warnings because I respect and love my readers. It’s not like I’m suddenly going “dark” or anything. It’s still a feel good Jackie Walker romance and all sensitive subjects are handled with care and respect, like in my past books. There’s no overly dark themes and no non-consensual stuff. More info on the specific triggers (which might be sligthly spoiler-y) can be found here.

Are you ready to meet your new book boyfriend? Cort Amos — you know him, you love him. The lone male sibling in the insane Amos family. The funny guy who looks a lot like Theo James, and is known for his hilarious one-liners and dropping the most epic gifs in the family text thread. The baby brother. The male version of Cara Amos. The twing to her twang. The king of sarcasm and the smolder. The only one without that crazy red hair (No, Hudson, he is NOT the mailman’s baby!). Cort has been a fan favorite from my first two RomComs and he’s finally getting his own story! *squeals in excitement*
Love & Other Lies is coming to your kindles in a few short weeks. April 25th is just around the corner and will be here before you know it. And I am so excited for you to read his story. I really feel like it’s my best one yet! And the epilogue is… well, it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. Not to brag, but my mom called it triple awesome… so, yeah. You know that Mom would never lie to me to stroke my ego. I mean, moms are known for being ruthless savages.
Oh, did I mention the cover? Oh. My. Hotness!
I couldn’t convince Theo James to do a photo shoot to model for the cover, sadly, but I found an incredibly dashing young man that will do JUST FINE, thank you very much. And no! I’m not licking my screen every time I look at his pictures. Gross. Why would you suggest such a thing? *rolls eyes* *wipes saliva evidence from screen*
I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but if you’ve made it to the end of Love & Other Mistakes (Hudson and Chloe’s story), then you probably can guess the name of Cort’s heroine. She has pink pixie hair, smoky eyes, and a heart of gold. Oh, and she’s a total badass boss bitch. You’re gonna love her and she’s perfect for Cort.
