ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 18, 2024

I have one job in this arranged marriage, and that’sto seduce my husband.

It should be easy; I’m the heiress to a transatlantic fortune, bred and raised to make a good match. I’ve spent a lifetime building up my endurance, my discipline, my dedication to my god and my church. The danger lies in falling for the devil who put his ring on my finger—a mistake I made years ago, and can’t afford to make again.

There is one more danger: handsome and green-eyed, emotionally wounded. Tristan Thomas, former soldier and my new husband’s bodyguard. A hero who stole my heart with salt-soaked kisses on the sea.

But Lyonesse is not like other places, and this isn’t like other marriages. Soon Tristan, Mark, and I are tangled in a knot of vicious jealousy and gorgeous wickedness, where suspicion is an aphrodisiac and secrets and vows are one and the same.

And there is something far darker at play than my real purpose, than the machinations of the Church I serve. Darker even than the twisted longings of my own heart. Because my husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he’ll stop at nothing to possess me could slice my soul deeper than the honeysuckle-hilted knife he gave me once upon a time.

Because when it comes to Mark Trevena and his games, the first cut is more than the deepest—it’s the sweetest.

And he always leaves you begging for more…

REVIEW:Honey Cut is book two in the Lyonesse series by the ever spicy Sierra Simone. I don’t even know where to start with this book, the lies, the pain, the mistakes and regret, all there front and center for everyone to experience. Book one in this trilogy is a MUST read!

Tristan, Mark and Isolde are back again in the continuation of book one, and Lord almighty, I was not prepared, there was no getting prepared, or being prepared, it was simply..raw. Tristan and Isolde, fall deeper in love as the book progresses all while trying to hide those same feelings, and then there is their attraction and chemistry with Mark. The quiet, always brooding, sullen Mark, both drawing them together and keeping them apart all at the same time.

HC is most definitely a slow burn, but have mercy Ms. Author, the spicy bits in the book need to come with their own warnings, hot and heavy don’t even cover it. There is so much to unpack in this second book, and more so makes me want Mark’s POV and how his mind works. There are parts to the plot that I am still a little confused on, and others I can’t wait to see how they work out. Of course the Queen Devil herself had to go and end it the way she did, I think she likes to torture us just a little, keeps the readers coming back for more that is sure.

She loves writing the dirtiest things that she can think of, King Arthur, sparkling water, Tarot, coffee, leggings, and learning new words daily.

Her previous jobs have included firing ceramics, teaching living history lessons in one-room school house in full, 1908-approved school marm attire, and working as a librarian for several years—not in that order

She lives in the Kansas City area with her hot cop husband, two children, and two giant dogs. (And two cats, but they’re so naughty we don’t talk about them.)

The social media she cares about the most are Spotify and Instagram. Following her in those places is a true love language, indeed.
