Hey Upper East fans! 
          
          I’ve made a major change to Secrets of the Upper East. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to delete all the chapters published after “The Girl Who Runs the Rivers” and make it the official Season Two finale. 
          
          Why? I felt I was losing the plot, and the season was getting way too long. I want every chapter to stay tight, suspenseful, and true to the story!
          
          Season Three will be dropping in just two weeks, but don’t worry—I’ve got something exciting for you in the meantime. Over the next two weeks, I’ll be releasing chapters of my new book, Guarded! ️
          
          Guarded follows a world of secrets, danger, and unexpected romance, where trust is rare, and the lines between love and protection blur. Think intrigue, high stakes, and heart-pounding tension. 
          
          So re-read it, and get ready for two weeks of new thrills with Guarded before we dive back into the Upper East. Thank you all for your support—you make this journey unforgettable!

GUARDED is officially here.
          
          Power. Wealth. Secrets.
          And the one man hired to keep her safe… might be the most dangerous thing in her life.
          
          Meet Zoe Montgomery — heir to a billion-dollar tech empire she never asked for, now living under constant pressure, public scrutiny, and very real threats. Her life is polished on the outside… and cracking underneath.
          
          Enter Shawn — her new bodyguard. Quiet. Controlled. Highly trained. Hired to protect, not to feel. Not to cross lines. Definitely not to fall for the woman he’s sworn to guard.
          
          But when danger starts closing in and secrets begin to surface, the line between duty and desire blurs — and some truths are better left buried.
          
           Slow burn romance
           High-stakes tension
           Power, trust, and betrayal
           A love that could destroy them both
          
          And the best part?
           Chapter One is already out NOW.
          
          If you love protective bodyguards, rich heiresses, emotional tension, and a story that keeps tightening its grip the deeper you go — Guarded is for you.
          
          This is only the beginning… and nothing stays protected forever.

 Blood Brothers is out now, Upper East Siders… and it’s darker than ever. 
          
          Only the city remained — humming below like a live wire, a low, electric heartbeat pulsing through the October night. Spencer Rivers stands fierce, untamed, and trembling at the edges. Beside her, Nate Archibald isn’t the golden boy you remember. Blair, Chuck, Dan, Carter… they’re all tangled in a storm that’s about to erupt.
          
          Secrets will be exposed. Loyalties tested. And just when you think you know who’s protecting whom… think again.
          
           Will Spencer survive the shadows of her past?
           How far will Nate go to keep her safe?
          ⚡ Who is Julian really, and how dangerous can one man be?
          
          From shattered glass reflections to whispered confessions, Blood Brothers pulls no punches. Prepare for heartbreak, fury, and the kind of tension that makes the Manhattan skyline look calm by comparison.
          
          Dive in, but don’t say I didn’t warn you — the Upper East Side just got a whole lot bloodier.
          
          XOXO, Spencer
