I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about what’s brewing in Walter’s World this year. Buckle up – we’ve got quite a journey ahead!
First up, I’ve relaunched Ricochet with a fresh new look. Take a look below at the new cover and blurb! If you love your romance with a dash of humour and a generous helping of heat, you’re in for a treat. It’s the story of Matt and Rick, two stubborn hearts from the hit show Collar Crime who are absolutely perfect for each other – if only they’d realize it! Set in a world where everyone identifies as dom or sub, this tale of an uptight perfectionist sub and a commitment-phobic dom has been making readers laugh, swoon, and stay up way too late turning pages.
But that’s just the beginning. I’m beyond excited to announce my most ambitious project yet: Dark Water, a four-book MM romantic suspense series that will launch later in 2025.
Picture this: London, 2095. A world where rising seas have drowned the old order, but human nature remains as complex as ever. It’s a story of grief, redemption, and a love that defies the rules of a corrupt society.

P.S. Want to dive into Ricochet while you wait? It’s available in Amazon KU now, and readers are calling it “sizzling hot” and “impossible to put down”!

When the right one is all wrong!
Matt is a sub who longs to submit but can’t give up control. Rick is a dom who longs for love but won’t bed the same sub twice. There’s no way these two belong together – is there?
Matt and Rick are big stars on the hit TV show Collar Crime. As two of the most successful young actors in LA, they seem to have everything. Except love.
Their fiery love-hate relationship sends sparks flying on set, but neither of them is prepared to budge an inch in matters of the heart.
To uptight perfectionist Matt, chaotic bad boy Rick is the opposite of what a good dom should be. Drop-dead gorgeous Rick knows he can have any sub in town–why would he choose an obsessive control freak like Matt?
Haunted by past mistakes, Rick has sworn never to collar a sub of his own. But everything changes when Matt falls under the spell of a manipulative billionaire.
With time running out and a collaring ceremony looming, Rick faces an impossible choice: let Matt fall into the hands of a cruel master or finally confront the feelings he’s been running from all along.
In this steamy BDSM romance set in a world where everyone identifies as dom or sub, two stubborn hearts grapple with an unavoidable truth – that the right person might be one who is all wrong!
