Happy pub day to my good friend and terrific author @SteveUrszenyi! Blood Oath hits shelves today!
BLOOD OATH is officially out in the world today! Three books in, and I’m still in awe of your support. This one took Alex (and me) to places we’ve never been—raw, relentless, and razor-sharp. Thank you for making this career possible. Now go see what Alex does when family is on
