Bated
by R.L. Merrill

Fans of the band Maggie's Bones from the Haunted series know that front man Marcus Lambert has a thing for the band's new manager, Sherry Jordan. No one can tell the story of how their affair came about better than Lambert himself. Learn what happened to the band over Valentine's Day 2012, just before the events of Haunted PLUS read new material showing just what the two of them were up to in Devon's room at the St. Germaine. This couple faces plenty of obstacles in the way of their romance, the biggest being Marcus's ego. Can Sherry see past that to the man who wants to be her everything? This is the first volume of vignettes involving Marcus and Sherry, with more planned for in 2022.

R.L. Merrill's Bio

Award-winning author and Bay Area native R.L. "Ro" Merrill (she/her) is an advocate for social justice, a sucker for rescue pets, and a spinner of compelling stories. A veteran public school educator, parent of two brilliant young adults, and wife of a patient collector and fellow bookworm, she was raised on a steady diet of eclectic music and campy horror. She writes quirky and relatable queer and heterosexual characters that know how to use their words and are willing to work hard for their happily ever afters. Readers who dig swoony contemporary romance or shivery supernatural suspense will find themselves right at home in her extensive catalog. Her books contain killer soundtracks, generous amounts of spice, and enough laughs to get readers out of their heads and into their feels. When she's not writing, you can find her cruising in her Bronco, adding to her vinyl and skull collections, or head-banging at a rock show. Stay Tuned for More...
