Jacked Cat Jive by Rhys Ford (Releases March 5, 2019)
Stalker Kai Gracen knew his human upbringing would eventually clash with his elfin heritage, but not so soon. Between Ryder, a pain-in-his-neck Sidhe Lord coaxing him to join San Diego’s Southern Rise Court, and picking up bounties for SoCalGov, he has more than enough to deal with. With his loyalties divided between the humans who raised him and the Sidhe Lord he’s befriended and sworn to protect, Kai finds himself standing at a crossroads.

When a friend begs Kai to rescue a small group of elfin refugees fleeing the Dusk Court, he’s pulled into a dangerous mission with Ryder through San Diego’s understreets and the wilderness beyond. Things go from bad to downright treacherous when Kerrick, Ryder’s cousin, insists on joining them, staking a claim on Southern Rise and Kai.

Burdened by his painful past, Kai must stand with Ryder against Kerrick while facing down the very Court he fears and loathes. Dying while on a run is expected for a Stalker, but Kai wonders if embracing his elfin blood also means losing his heart, soul, and humanity along the way.

And if it’s even worth it.

Announcing Ramen Assassin! Blurb, Cover Reveal and Pub Date!

On By Rhys FordIn Rhys Ford4 Comments

Announcing my upcoming release Ramen Assassin! Out June 25th! Published by Dreamspinner Press, this is the first book in the series. It’s an action-packed, mostly light-hearted-ish mystery-romance.  I had a great time writing it and I’m really looking forward to coming back to these guys. I’ll let you know when we’ve got preorder links!

Ramen Assassin
When life gives Kuro Jenkins lemons, he wants to make ponzu to serve at his Los Angeles ramen shop.

Instead he’s dodging bullets and wondering how the hell he ended up back in the black ops lifestyle he left behind. After rescuing former child star Trey Bishop from a pair of murderous thugs, he reluctantly picks his guns up again. It seems trouble isn’t done with Trey, and Kuro can’t quite let go… of either danger or Trey.

Trey never denied his life’s downward spiral was his own fault. After stints in rehab, he’s finally shaken off his Hollywood bad-boy lifestyle, but not his reputation. The destruction of his career and relationships was epic, and no one trusts anything he says, including the LAPD. When two men dragging a dead body spot him on a late-night run, then try to murder him, Trey is thankful for the tall, dark, and deadly ramen shop owner not just for rescuing him, but also for believing him.

Now caught in a web of murders and lies, Trey knows someone wants him dead, and the only one on his side is a man with dark secrets. Trey hopes Kuro will stick around to see what the future holds for them once the dust settles, but from the looks of things, neither of them may survive to find out.

Please RSVP on the Google Docs or comment here so we know how many glasses of water to set out (That also is a lie… we need to know how many chairs to get).
Date: 14 March 2019
Place: St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, The Booking Office, Gillow’s Booth
Time: 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm
We will be more than happy to sign books and anything else you bring with you providing it is not a deed to a house or a cheque. That said, we do so hope you will join us! There will be food, swag and you can enter the European Invasion Giveaway that spans across all three DSP European Events!
You can also RSVP by emailing me at rhysford AT vitaenoir DOT com
