The final book is almost here!
Wow, those words don’t get less scary! But they’re true. We’re working on the final book* in the BEYOND series. (If this is the first time you’re hearing this, don’t panic until you check out the Gideon’s Riders page.) We’re gearing up to celebrate the O’Kanes final battle against Eden, and that means now is a very good time to catch up on the series.

So how do I catch up?!

Well, there are a lot of ways. If you’re buying the individual books & novellas, you can find them in order on the series page. We even have a strict chronological order page if you want to make sure you’re getting the free reads in the right order!

If you’re really, really new, you can even get book #1 totally for free.

If you’re really far behind and want to save a little money, we also have bundles!

Books #1, #2 & #3

Books #4, #5 & #6

Novellas #3.5, #4.5, #5.5

You can catch up on the first six novels and all three novellas (which do not have to be read in order–though Beyond Temptation is Noah’s introduction and he plays a big part in the final book!) in three easy bundles!

Most Recent Books

We’ve had two Beyond releases this year, so if you haven’t caught up yet, don’t miss out! Beyond Ruin is Mad, Jade, Scarlet & Doc’s story. Beyond Ecstasy is about Hawk & Jeni. Both take place close together, and Beyond Surrender will pick up almost immediately after Beyond Ecstasy.

Book #7
February 2016

Book #8
May 2016

What was that * about up when you said final Beyond book?

That, my friends, is a caveat. The caveat is that yes, this is the final novel we are writing in the BEYOND series, but we already have several novellas, short stories and vignettes planned. While our main focus will be on the novels in the new series, we will be checking back in with the O’Kanes and letting you guys get a glimpse of their post-war adventures and how they choose to live their new lives. We also have a few O’Kane-adjacent characters who haven’t gotten a happy ending yet and need one. So this is not goodbye.

Okay but when is Beyond Surrender coming out?!

As soon as we finish it. And that means I better go get back to work. *vanishes in a puff of post-apocalyptic smoke*

Beyond Ecstasy is HERE!

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment May 25

Woohoo! Finally, the next-to-last book in the BEYOND series. (If you didn’t realize it was the next-to-last, don’t panic! There are more Sector stories to come. Check out the spin-off series here.)

Hawk & Jeni’s story is sexy and sweet and full of both the hot sex the O’Kanes are known for alongside some wild action and a few tear-jerker moments. I’ve been told to issue a tissue warning so: consider it issued.

Get the book now: Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Australia, Google

The O’Kanes have a reputation for working hard and playing harder—except for Hawk. He joined the gang with one goal: to ensure his family’s survival through the impending war with Eden. It’s been years since he had the luxury of wanting anything for himself. Now, he wants Jeni. From the first moment he saw her, he’s been obsessed with making her his. Not for a night—forever.

Jeni’s been lusting after the former smuggler for months, but he keeps shutting her down. She’s almost given up on getting him in her bed when he offers her the last thing she ever expected—a collar. Accepting it means belonging to him, body and soul. It’s a reckless gamble, but Jeni can’t resist the chance to slip under Hawk’s armor.

The only thing more shocking than the dark, dangerous pleasure they discover is how right it feels. But falling in love is even more reckless when forever is far from guaranteed. Because they aren’t just at war, they’re out of time—and every breath could be their last.

And Now, a Contest!

To celebrate the release of book #8, I’m giving away THREE different awesome prizes. You can enter for one prize, two or all three, depending on what you want. This is a chance for us to share a little O’Kane swag and have fun. 🙂

A SIGNED set of the Beyond series books in print: books #1-7 and all three novellas. Also included: a tote bag, a flask and various small bits of fun swag!

Well, I haven’t been so good at updating this website. But that’s because we were really, really, really busy writing book #8 in the Beyond series. And miracle of miracles–it is already done! *confetti here*

A lot will be happening over the next few weeks. The book is off to our editor now. If all goes well, we may even have it out before the end of May. No pre-order there–we’ll just release the book out into the world and scream HEY GUYS, BOOK!

But that’s not the end of the excitement. In early June, we’ll be doing a cover reveal for the final book in the BEYOND series. Yes, final! Sorry! Also don’t panic! We’ll also be revealing the cover of the first book in Gideon’s Riders, the spin-off series that will continue to tell the stories of a few familiar faces and a whole bunch of new ones.

If you want to know more about the new series and peek at a few spoilers for who will be appearing in the first three books as heroes & heroines, head over to the new series page. (Don’t worry, all spoilers are behind spoiler tags!)

All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond–beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman’s daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal–men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four’s ruthless leader, and he’ll defend the O’Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they’re crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she’ll have to open herself to a world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

Review Copies of Beyond Ruin

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Jan 18

Hey guys! Since the book is officially D-O-N-E done, we’re getting ourselves organized for all the fun things that follow, like edits and ARCs and hiding in a cave until everyone’s read it.

Just kidding. Maybe.

We’re doing things a little differently this time. We’ll be posting this form, as usual, but at the bottom you’ll find a place where you can request to be on our permanent review list. This will be kind of like what we’ve got going on now, only you won’t have to keep filling out this form, our assistant will just make ARCs fall from the sky into your hands. Magic! The secret password to join is a link to the last Beyond book you reviewed. Easy-peasy!

Giant red text of warning: this is the seventh book in a series (as I will continue to warn you, repeatedly!) and is probably not the best place to start reading these books. If you want to start the series at the beginning, Book #1 is free at all vendors! Starting here may leave you confused!

And if you understand all that… here’s the form! We’re hoping to have review copies ready early-ish in February, so plan accordingly. 😀

FORM HAS CLOSED. ARCs WILL BE GOING OUT BETWEEN 2/9/2016 and 2/12/2016

Happy 2016!

Okay, it’s been a while since we posted an update, but we had a good excuse: we were writing a really, really, really long book.

Beyond Ruin is already longer than all but 2 of the current novels, and as we settle in to write the final chapters over the next few days, I anticipate it will eventually take the crown. It’s a big book, and I’m excited and terrified and in love with it (all normal emotions for this stage of the game–I’m having a lot of end-of-book feels!) but mostly I’m excited that we’re getting close to having it ready to share.

Once we finish it and get it into our editor’s hands, we’ll be setting the production wheels in motion. Once we know how much revision we’re looking at, we’ll set a release date and let everyone know. As we told people on Facebook, we’re counting weeks now, not months.

If you’re not signed up to our announcement newsletter, now is a good time to fix that!

And strap yourselves in, VIPs. This book is going to change everything for the O’Kanes.

And now for something completely different…

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Aug 19

So, a lot of you have probably heard about this already, but this is just making it official and what-not.

As mentioned previously, we have to take a break in between Beyond books to refresh our brains and keep the stories and the world fresh and exciting for us to write. In 2014 we tried to write novellas in between the books, but that didn’t go so well…by the end of the year, we were tired.

So this year, as soon as Beyond Innocence was done, we picked up a project we’d started last summer but had put aside because we just didn’t have time to finish it. This project was exciting to us. It was different from anything we’d ever written. It wasn’t about saving the world or killing bad guys before they kill you. It was about the quieter ways we break and the struggle to feel normal.

When the time came to publish, we considered releasing this book as Kit Rocha. But it is different. You won’t find dystopian hijinks or grown-ups fighting wars or having crazy hot sex parties within these pages. So we decided on a new name–a name we’ll share, hoping you might want to read something a little different–but a name that makes it clear that this is something different.

So meet Joelle Knox.

Anything but Broken

After five years, tragedy brings Hannah Casey back to Hurricane Creek to bury what’s left of her family. She’s flunking out of college, haunted by scandal, and the only person who cares is Sean Whitlow, an irresistible bad boy with a soft spot for her. The problem? He’s her dead sister’s ex.

Sean doesn’t bleed red, he bleeds motor oil. During the week, he struggles to turn his auto repair shop into a profitable business. But when Saturday night rolls around, he’s the reigning stock-car king of the local race track. He doesn’t know how to lose–or how to walk away and leave Hannah alone with her grief.

Between her grades and her wealthy family’s dark secrets, Hannah’s barely holding her life together. And the last thing Sean needs is to get tangled up with another Casey girl. As the attraction between them spins out of control, they’ll either find a love with no limits–or go up in flames.

We’ll be back in our writer cave after this, working on the next in the Beyond series with fresh hearts and great excitement. Also we’re going to do terrible things to the sectors, so you have that to look forward to. 😉

What’s next for the Beyond series?

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Jul 31

As we settle in to writing Beyond Ruin, we finally have a solid enough view of the Beyond series to answer a few questions about where it’s headed, when it’s ending, and what comes next.

What?! The series is ending?!

Yes, all good things must come to a graceful end. Though I will say that ending the novel series doesn’t mean you won’t see more stories or novellas from familiar, beloved characters. Just that the big action arc we set in motion for Dallas & Lex and their people will be coming to a conclusion soon.

When?!

Don’t worry! You have some time to brace yourselves. In fact, we have enough action-packed O’Kane hijinks to carry us through the end of 2016 with the final three books:

If you’re leaving Sector Four, where are you going next?!

Not very far! Just around the corner to Sector One. Mad and his cousin Gideon have long been fan favorites, and preparation for Mad’s book got us excited to explore another Sector with some fascinating possibilities. If you’re interested, we have a few hints about the scope of the series and the first hero here.

We hope you’re as excited as we are. 😀
