With This Woman is available now.

The second book in the This Man retelling from Jesse’s POV is here. I know many of you have been waiting for this one. I know there are certain scenes within the pages of Beneath This Man that many of you were desperate to hear from Jesse’s perspective. I truly hope you deem the wait for this worthwhile. These books have truly been the hardest I have ever written. Writing the same story but…differently. Making it interesting. Making it new and fresh. My God, it bent my head every which way. And on top of that, justifying his every move and word while ensuring the love for this crazy man is maintained? It was so hard. So hard. But I AM wondering if there’s anything Jesse Ward can do that would be…too far? Probably not for the die-hard Lord fans. Rest assured, I love him equally and cheer him on too.

I also want to slap him hard like you sometimes!

I truly hope I’ve done this story justice and you enjoy this new version of the events you read over ten years ago.

Much love, and enjoy.

JEM

The Manor—the heartbeat of hedonism and pleasure, the place where Jesse Ward lost himself for years in women and alcohol, escaping his past—was his life. His everything. Until the day Ava O’Shea walked through the doors and Jesse discovered something else to live for.

Her.

Their love affair was passionate, intense, and all-consuming. She became his heaven. His escape. And eventually, his downfall. When Ava walked away from him, he was destroyed, even more broken than before.

But she’s come back, and Jesse vows never to lose her again.

Except Ava’s only scratched the surface of his broken soul, and as their relationship intensifies and their love deepens, Jesse’s pushed to the brink of insanity when his past creeps into his present and risks destroying everything.

They will never survive his truths, and Jesse will never survive losing Ava again.

So he’ll do anything to shield her from his dark, soul-destroying past.

Absolutely anything.
