Reloaded the Kanban Board

Those of you who've been following this blog for a while, know my love for my kanban board. It's how I keep track of things writing related. Some of it is about things like updating a book's back matter, but I do better with that in my planner.

What works really well on my kanban board is a Post-it Note for each chapter I plan to write. I've loaded the board for my next book.

Wicked Temptation

Cal and Io's book. You've met Baggs in the Lost Treasure arc of the Paladin League. Io is the twin sister of the heroine from Wicked Ambition. No preorder up yet. I will share a link with you when it goes up.

Here's what I have right now for the blurb:

He'll risk it all to protect her. She’ll risk everything for love.

Special Forces Sgt. Cal “Baggs” Baggnell has spent years putting duty above desire. But when Iona Desmond’s life is on the line, no mission—not even bringing down arms dealer Jorge Torres—can stop him from keeping her safe. Their breakup doesn’t matter. She’s the one woman he’ll risk everything for.

Iona Desmond isn’t a stranger to danger, but teaming up with Cal, the man who broke her heart, is a whole new level of torment. Working side by side with the man she never stopped loving will test her resolve—and reopen wounds that have barely started to heal. But with ruthless mobsters, rival treasure hunters, and an arms dealer closing in, she’ll have to trust Cal to keep her alive.

Their target: Viktor Petrova, the cunning lieutenant of a powerful Russian mob boss. His obsession with finding the billion-dollar Treasure of Trujillo has made him a deadly threat—not just to Iona and her twin, but to everyone caught in his path.

As Cal and Iona dive deeper into the hunt, they uncover a dangerous clue to the hidden treasure map—a clue that could alter the course of their mission. But Petrova isn’t the only one with lethal ambitions. Betrayals within his own ranks threaten to unravel everything…for everyone.

Amid chaos and danger, Cal and Iona must navigate a world where loyalty is fleeting, motives are murky, and passion might be the only thing they can trust. With their rekindled love as their strongest weapon, they must fight to overcome their past—and the ruthless man determined to destroy their future.
