The Red Valley Ravens Got a Cover Glow-Up (See the New Look!)


New covers. Same Ravens. 🖤🏒

When I first created the Red Valley Ravens, I knew I was building something special—but I don’t think I realized just how much this series would grow. What started as one hockey romance turned into nine interconnected stories, unforgettable couples, and a team readers have come to love as much as I do.

As the series evolved, my covers no longer reflected the heart of these stories—or the cohesive world the Ravens have become. I wanted something that felt stronger, more unified, and true to the tone of the books: emotional, romantic, and just a little bit addictive. Plus, as hot as the shirtless heroes were, the heroines deserved a place on the covers!

So I gave the entire series a fresh new look.

If you’re new to the Red Valley Ravens, you can expect swoony hockey romances filled with chemistry, tension, and hard-earned happily-ever-afters—plus a team dynamic that ties everything together in the best way. And if you’ve already fallen for the Ravens… don’t worry. The stories you love haven’t changed one bit.

They just look a little more romantic now. ✨

I love listening to music when I'm writing and these songs are the perfect companion to Ice Flambé. It's impossible not to think of Lucas and Morgana while Jared Leto is belting out hauntingly beautiful lyrics!

Pixie's Promise Music Playlist

After meeting Revecka, Adam heard bands like Hinder and Theory of a Deadman for the very first time. Her provocative taste in music was just one more reason to pursue the pink-haired bombshell.

This time, Saving Abel’s song “The Sex Is Good” was pumping out guitar-heavy southern rock and lyrics about faking it and touching in all the right places. Revecka Zee sure had a titillating collection of music.

You better believe it! While I was writing the book, I jotted down the names of the songs I imagined playing inside the boutique so I could share them with you now. Here's the Pixie's Promise Playlist:

What do you think? Are you hearing any of these songs for the first time like Adam? Or are they already favorites of yours? (Bonus points if you noticed that I also mentioned My Darkest Days in Submersed. What can I say? Some bands can dish out the inspiration like nobody's business.)

Rock on, my fellow readers!
