Well, lookie here. ‘Lethal Sin’ is available for pre-order on Amazon for $2.99, right over here, orrrrrr you could just get it for FREE right now by signing up for my mailing list. That’s right, free. This is the first book in my Dangerous Games series and I wrote it with the idea that I wanted to give something back to my loyal readers by giving them a free book. I didn’t know it was going to turn into a series when I started it, but I love this world too much to let go of it. It’s dark, gritty, and dangerous – and if you know anything about my work, you know that’s what I’m all about!
If you’re already on my mailing list, it’s probably snuggled close in your inbox already, or it could be waiting on your ereader! All I ask is that if you like it, go ahead and leave me a review! It’s the best way to support any author you enjoy!
Curious? Check out the blurb for ‘Lethal Sin’:
The safest kind of love for Camille Devereaux has always been none at all. No attachments. No friends. No family. Nothing more than a one night stand whenever the itch got too strong to scratch by herself – and it always worked for her. She was one of the best free agents in the business. If you wanted intel on someone, she could get it. If you wanted a sticky situation resolved, she could fix it. And if you wanted someone to quietly disappear? Well, for the right price she could do that too.
It all worked perfectly until one of the biggest crime lords in the city decided as he went to the bail bonds offices in New Haven County and wanted her on the payroll full-time. Exclusively on his payroll. At first she had refused, but then he found a weak spot that even Camille hadn’t known about, and once she knew? There was no saying ‘no’ to Patrick Callahan.
That was how she found herself on the wrong side of the gun, in a sticky situation of her own, on her knees before the head badass from a rival criminal organization – Mateo Salvai. All he wants when he first meets Camille is to get the answers his boss wants from her, using his own devious methods, but once he meets this feisty, strong woman, all his plans go out the window. He’s fascinated by her, he craves her, and once he realizes she’s his perfect match he knows he can’t let her go.
Yet, the world they run in is dangerous and there are no easy options when they both report to powerful men bent on the other’s destruction. Will Mateo break his loyalties to protect Camille, and will Camille let go of her long-held rules to let him help her?
Jump in to the criminal underworld of these two assassins and get ready for a no holds barred, sexy, intense rush to the explosive conclusion of ‘Lethal Sin’, book one of the Dangerous Games series!
Well, lovelies, I do hope you enjoy it! I had a blast writing it, and it’s something I’m proud to have in all of your hands!

Hey, lovelies! I can’t explain how excited I am that the book I wrote for Blushing Books is coming out in a little over a week! March 26th is the official release date, and it is dark and delicious. Here is the blurb, and you’re the first ones seeing it AND the cover! *squeals*
Emmie had spent her life pampered, sheltered, and mostly unaware of just how bad things were inside and outside of the city that she called home – but when reality comes knocking, Emmie must choose between staying and suffering, or running and breaking a promise that could break her heart.
After fleeing the city in the dead of night, Emmie expected the hazards of the forest, but she never thought she would run into real danger or be brutally taken by one of the raiders who had been banished outside the walls. She never thought she would be tied up and forced to submit to their rules, and she never planned to find herself kneeling before their leader – no matter how gorgeous he was.
Lucian had spent most of his adult life figuring out how to protect those banished by the corrupt men inside the city, but when he meets Emmie, he doesn’t just want to keep her safe, he wants to claim her – body and soul. But once he does, and she despises him for it, how can he possibly show her what life can be like when she’s really and truly free, and how can he show her that a good life might be possible with him?
In ‘Taken by the Enemy’ readers are taken on a dark journey of discovery where the truths that Emmie has held close since she was a child are turned inside out, and she discovers that the enemy she’s been raised to fear may just be her salvation. Will she be able to bend to Lucian’s demands for obedience, and the harsh ways in which he enforces them, so she can discover a world where real peace is possible? Or will she turn away from the people who can save them all just to protect her heart?
There have been many, many snippets revealed from this book over the last few weeks, and I’ve compiled them all here so you can binge read all the hotness between Lucian and Emmie before the book comes out! Want to help me out a bunch? Set a reminder to snag a copy on March 26th and then share what you thought in a review so others can find out about these two!

I am so excited to share the cover for ‘Reunited’, my latest book. This is a really fun novella that originally appeared in ‘The More The Merrier 2’ anthology that I participated in with a wonderful group of authors called The Erotic Collective. They’re so much fun, and whenever I participate in an anthology I try to do an individual release at a later date with an extended extra of the story (usually because I’m so long-winded that I have to cut myself short to get into the anthology word count)! When it came to the incredible characters in ‘Reunited’ I knew I had to tell more of the story of Megan, Eric, and Colby. They were just too vibrant in my mind to leave alone, so this release includes an EXCLUSIVE extra that follows up with what happens a few years after their high school reunion. If you’ve been following along with my blog hops, then you already know they have quite a bit of… chemistry.
Anyway, enough with my rambling, here’s the cover! I love it!
I hope you love it as much as I do, and that you take a moment to snag it as soon as it’s live on Amazon. I just submitted it tonight and I would love you to check it out, it’s only 99 cents and FREE on Kindle Unlimited! Plus, don’t you want to read another hot scene with Colby and Eric? I knew I wanted to see how they’d play long-term.

Still curious about this book? Here’s the official blurb:
Megan Harper hasn’t had the best decade since she left high school and the love of her life behind. She gave up on her dreams and dropped out of college to get married, only to have her marriage fall apart leaving her divorced, disappointed, and back at square one trying to get her life started again.
When her high school reunion comes around she doesn’t want to go, but her sister insists. That’s how Megan finds herself dressed up at her old alma mater hoping her miserable evening ends quickly. That is until Eric Lewis, her gorgeous, hot, and once-dominant high school flame, shows up and only has eyes for her. When Colby Warren, the playboy of Whittaker High, joins them and seems just as intent on having her attention for the night she feels like she’s dreaming.
As both men dance and flirt with her, it becomes increasingly clear that not only do they both want her, but that Eric’s urge for dominance has only increased in their years apart. Will Megan dive in for one last fling in the halls of her school, or will she run and miss the chance to be reunited with the one man that’s haunted her for years?

I hope you guys continue to come back over the next couple of weeks as I share snippets of the story, and I hope even more to see some of your reviews so we can share the hotness with others! You lovelies are the best!

*******************************
Now let’s see what Megan is up to in ‘Reunited’!
The alcohol had been flowing for over an hour and the other attendees were dancing and singing along to the greatest hits from their years in high school. It was like one giant flashback to her senior year, with Eric’s hands on her hips and Colby rocking it out in the open space to their left. He started singing along to All-American Rejects, grabbing the hand of a woman dancing with friends as he serenaded her, telling her he’d keep her his dirty little secret. She blushed and laughed loudly, and soon he was surrounded by the other women who all started dancing and cheering him on.
“He’s got no shame,” Eric laughed and spoke directly into her ear. His breath against her cheek sent a shiver over her skin.
“Did he ever have shame? I think he was born without that functional part of the brain.”
“Well, I was a brain surgeon for a while… I could check.” He was grinning when she leaned back from him and slapped his shoulder. In a flash his hand was around her wrist and he’d flipped her around so she was against his chest, but he had her arm pulled slightly up behind her back. Somehow he managed to keep dancing, his other hand keeping her hips in beat with him as he restrained her with ease. A memory of him pinning her to the narrow bed she’d had in her parents’ house emerged and a frisson of heat pulsed down her spine to nestle itself between her thighs. “Now, that wasn’t very nice, Megan.”
Her mouth went dry as his voice purred out her full name and she was ninety percent sure that the hard press against her back wasn’t something in his pocket. She felt seventeen again, excited and unsure about what to do next. She tried to swallow to regain her voice, but all she managed was a breathy, “Eric?”
“Do you want me to let go?” His grip tightened slightly and a barely audible moan slipped from her before she bit down on her lip. The blush in her cheeks spread, and she felt like the whole dance floor had to know what was going on. It had to be obvious they weren’t just dancing, and she’d always been terrible at keeping her face straight. All it would take was one person glancing over, just one person noticing the vice-like grip he had on her wrist, or the way he lifted her arm just a little higher so her body angled back against his in an effort to ease it. Her anxiety crashed into the arousal humming under her skin, because Eric had been the first guy she’d ever really wanted – the first guy she’d played even the tiniest bit rough with. He’d been the one to make her crave it, to crave more, but it was something she’d never been open about outside of a few relationships.
“I’ll keep YOU my dirty, little secret!” Colby appeared in front of her, singing at an obscene volume, and Eric instantly released her wrist as Colby continued dancing like some extra from Magic Mike. As he rolled his hips and leaned back pulling up his shirt to expose a carved set of abs, the women to their right exploded into cheers and hollers. “My turn, Megster! Dance with me!”

‘Fae’, the first book in my Daughters of Eltera series, is live on Amazon! For an author, I feel like I’m always at a loss for words when it comes to this book because it took me so long to actually release it. This was one of my early drafts when I started writing like a ‘real author’. Meaning, not just scrawling down random scenes I liked and never coming back to them. This started as a Nanowrimo attempt, and snowballed into a full-length novel with an entire world around it that I plan on spending years and years writing books for (as long as people like it?).
Actually, to be honest, I’ll probably keep putting out a book a year in this series (at least) because I love it so much. The first draft of this book was actually done before I even started writing Thalia’s trilogy. I did an epic rewrite of it over this summer, after it sat on a digital shelf for a few years, and I have to thank my lovely British editor and my good author friend, Myra Danvers, for helping me with editing the drafts that came after as I reworked it.
Working on something that’s lived in your head for that long can be hard. You know the characters too well, the story too well, and as an author you become so damn attached to it. BUT – the edits were worth it. The time was worth it, and I’m so much happier with this final version of the story than I ever was before. I’m also over halfway through book 2 in the series, and although it’s down the list on my to-write list, it will definitely happen. I like it too much, and I have too many friends invested in the universe to let it go!
It would mean the world to me for you to grab a copy and leave a review on Amazon to tell me what you think about it. Although it’s not erotica (closer to romance since it’s not as full of sexy time as my other books) and it has a paranormal element with the main character being a bad-ass immortal warrior, it’s still dark, and I hope you all give it a chance.
Here’s one of the first reviews that have come out from my beta readers, and it made me squeal with joy:
“I. Freaking. Loved. This. Book!!
From the first, it grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. In typical Jennifer Bene style, it’s a little dark and gritty, but the leading lady is a full serving of awesome and you’ll find yourself cheering for Fae as her tale unfolds. How could you not love an ancient warrior gifted with her Goddesses’ touch? Fae is a woman who perseveres through the ages, in spite of incredible odds, and terrible circumstances.
And then she meets Kiernan.
Do yourself a favor and dive into Fae’s universe. You won’t be disappointed.”
In conclusion, Fae is up on Amazon. Here are the links, and I hope you enjoy it!

AHHHH! I am so excited to show you this cover, not only because it means I am finally DONE with Part II for ‘Of Fog and Fire’ but also because it is one of my favorite covers to date. Anyone who has worked on covers knows that finding stock photos that even resemble your characters can be such a nightmare, and for this one I actually found people who looked like my characters! I think that Phee and Bryant look perfect, especially their challenging looks to each other and Phee’s little sassy smirk. It’s perfect! My cover designer also did an AMAZING job bringing it to life and I can’t stop looking at it. It’s just beautiful!
With this, I will tell you I am on my last few tiny edits and it should be out on Amazon soon, so look for that post! Enough of my rambling, here is the cover for ‘Of Fog and Fire’ Parts I & II, all in one book!
