Surprise! My Cedar Hill Duet has a brand new look!
I recently refreshed the covers for Captivated by Her and Addicted to Her and I’m so happy with how they turned out! These stories are so close to my heart since they were the first books I published when I started my pen name, and it felt like the perfect time to give them covers that better reflect the characters and the world inside the books.
The insides also got a light polish to reflect the changes on the outside, so if you’ve read them before, nothing has changed except some cleanup edits and polishing. If you’re new to Cedar Hill, now is a great time to meet Rick and Devyn and Beau and Talia!
I want to do something special to celebrate, so watch this space for updates!
Thank you all who have read them and supported me! I appreciate all of you! ☺️
It is so lovely to say that all ARC copies for Wicked Games have now been claimed, and I wanted to say thank you for the incredible support and excitement for this release! ♥️☺️
Every time I put out a new book, there’s a crazy mix of nerves and anticipation, so seeing readers eager to dive into Seth and Avery’s story means so much to me.
If you missed the ARC, Wicked Games releases May 15th on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback.
Thank you for cheering me on—I can’t wait to hear what you think!
As for what I’m going to do now . . . I’m going to take a couple weeks off to relax, do some spring cleaning around my apartment, do some admin work that has crept up on me, and get my notes together for my next two books. Last summer–time goes by so fast–I teased a hockey book, which has turned into a duet, and I am so excited to start working on them!
So things may feel quiet around here, but I’ll be busy! Bookmark this blog or sign up for updates to hear about my dark and gritty hockey duet that will be coming 2027!
I have been working so hard this week to get everything ready, and I have some exciting news—digital ARCs for Wicked Games are now available!
I went back and forth on doing this again. Last September, a lot of readers downloaded an ARC of Loss and Damages . . . but not many reviewed. That always breaks my heart because authors see a lot of interest, and then when release week comes, nothing happens. And I understand. There are a lot of books out there. My Kindle is bursting too.
I still believe in giving ARCs in good faith, so I’m trying again, but I am asking that if you aren’t going to read and review, then please don’t take a review copy.
If you enjoy billionaire, small-town romantic suspense, this might be for you. It’s a standalone at 322 paperback pages. A little steamy, angsty, and no third-act breakup (though there is forced separation).
ARCs will be available through April 19th, with a May 15th release. Wicked Games will be available on Kindle, in Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback.
If you download, I’d really appreciate an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads when the book goes live. Please don’t use AI to write your review. I want to know what you think of the book!
It’s the first day of spring, and here in my part of Minnesota, it actually feels like it. We don’t have much snow left, and everything looks a little… dull right now. Brown grass, all the garbage the snow was hiding suddenly in plain sight, mud everywhere—it’s kind of a gloomy vibe, especially on cloudy days.
But the weather is warming up, the sun will dry everything out, and pretty soon the trees will start getting their leaves again.
I like fall best, but there’s something about a new season that feels like a fresh start. You just never know what life has in store.
I should be getting my final proof of WICKED GAMES today! 👀 I made a few small tweaks to the formatting (including a blog post and an interview!) and adjusted the cover just a bit. Once everything looks good, I’ll be ordering paperback ARC copies. 📚
I’m really excited about that since it’s something I’ve never done before. I’ll still offer ebooks like I usually do, but sending out a few paperback ARCs feels like something special. I’m so proud of how this book turned out, and I can’t wait for you all to see it.
While I’ve been waiting, I’ve been re-editing my Cedar Hill Duet. I love those characters so much, and they deserve this glow-up. New edits, new covers… yep. They deserve it.
And of course, I have a new story rattling around in my brain. Beckett and Sloane won’t leave me alone—in the best way possible. I teased their story a while back (like… last year 😅), so it’ll be nice to finally “skate” into the world of hockey. 🏒
Have a great first day of spring, and keep an eye out for WICKED GAMES ARCs soon! ♥️
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re all able to relax a little and spend some quality time with your loved ones this weekend! I’m not doing too much . . . working my day job and then the kids wanted to order calzones for dinner. That saves me from having to cook, so that sounded perfect to me!
I’m excited to start teasing the cover for Wicked Games! I’m currently working on getting the ARCs ready, and I’ll share more details here when they’re available. Wicked Games will be releasing in May, so mark your calendars, subscribe to the blog, and follow me on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/VM-Rheault/author/B0B1QSXVK4

*Billionaire/Grieving Hero *Small Town *Romantic Suspense *Finding Love after Loss *Fast-Burn Romance/Instalove *Strangers to Lovers *Forced Separation *No 3rd Act Breakup
Whether you’re spending today with someone you love, enjoying some quiet time, or somewhere in between, I hope you’re able to take a moment for yourself this weekend. I’ll be back soon with more Wicked Games updates.

Hey friends! 🎄 I hope you survived the Christmas craziness and that you’re able to relax this weekend!
Just a quick heads-up—His Frozen Heart (A Rocky Point Wedding, Book 1) is FREE on Kindle today, December 27th, and tomorrow, December 28th.
If you’re looking for a steamy little escape in a small Minnesota town where everyone knows your business and the temperatures will give you frostbite, this is the perfect time to grab it. Four books in the completed series will keep you turning pages well into the new year! 📚✨
All the books in the series are available on Kindle, in Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback and you can find them here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D91D7RZ
We had a lovely Christmas, and I hope you did too. Everyone got a little something they wanted, and we bought Pim a set of catnip-filled mice. We ended up having to take all the garland off the tree because she was eating it like spaghetti, but luckily we caught her in enough time she didn’t get sick. We’ll have to remember for next year to keep our decorations to a minimum.
Happy New Year! I hope you all have an amazing 2026! 🎉 🥳 🎆

Happy October! There’s been a lot going on in my corner of the world and I thought I would pop into your inbox and say hey!
Last Sunday my sister, daughter, and I went on our yearly road trip to Maplewood State Park near Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. It was a lovely drive and the temperatures were just right. The trip actually did double duty, though I didn’t know at the time. One, to get out of the city to look at the leaves as it’s peak leaf-viewing season here, but two, driving through Pelican Rapids was something I needed but didn’t know I needed until I did it, if that makes sense. I’m working on a new book right now and it’s set in a small, northern Minnesota town. The vibes of Pelican Rapids fit just right. The quiet Main Street, the schools, the tiny fire department. It will be a perfect backdrop for my angsty contemporary romance. They also had a giant pelican statue (his name is Pete) that probably won’t make it into my book, but he was fun to look at just the same.
Loss and Damages has been out for three weeks, and the launch has been great! I’ve been getting really lovely feedback from all who have read it so far. If you grabbed an ARC, now would be the perfect time to leave a review. I appreciate your time and willingness to share! 💕
I’ve decided to release Wicked Games in May of 2026! I know that’s a bit of a wait, but I wanted to give you a heads up. I’ll be doing the cover reveal, ARCs, and all that good stuff here, so be sure to subscribe if you haven’t or bookmark this site to check back.
Wicked Games is a standalone Billionaire romantic suspense, and I can’t wait for you to meet Seth and Avery!
That’s all I have for this month. I hope you’re having beautiful fall weather wherever you are!
Happy Tuesday friends! I hope the summer has been treating you well. ☀️
Just a quick update on all the things.
If you’ve been waiting for the ARCs of Loss and Damages, they’re ready to go! There are only forty copies available, so if you were thinking of picking it up, don’t wait.
ARCs will be available until July 31st and reviews won’t be needed until September 15th.
✨ Here are a few quick details: Standalone or Part of a Series: Loss and Damages is a standalone billionaire romance with a happily ever after. It’s a complete novel at around 350 printed pages.
Triggers: None that I know of. Dominic deals with some family drama/trauma, and Jemma gets roughed up while trying to stop a break-in, but nothing graphic or prolonged.
Where to Review: Amazon and Goodreads are best, since Loss and Damages will be in Kindle Unlimited. If you want to share on social media too (Instagram or Facebook), that’s awesome but not required.
What to Say: Whatever you want! If you loved it, say so. If it wasn’t your thing, that’s okay too. I really don’t mind. Honest reviews help future readers find books they’ll love.
Thank you all for picking up a copy and giving it a read. I hope Loss and Damages is a lovely part of your summer relaxation!
✨ Bonus reminder: If you’ve read my King’s Crossing serial and haven’t left a review yet, now’s a great time. Even a few quick lines for one or two books will help other readers find it.
✨ One last thing: We got a new cat named Pim! My son’s friend moved out of state and couldn’t bring her along, so we made the arrangements with our property management and adopted her! She’s adorable and loves being carried around on your shoulder. It’s been really nice to have a cat around again. 🐾
I hope everyone is doing well and that your summer so far has been full of friends, family, and good reads.
