What fans are saying:

“By far the best installment yet. I truly felt Avery’s pain when she felt rejected by Sean. Although emotional there were parts where I was laughing out loud. You will not be disappointed. So glad there is another installment coming. Can’t wait to see what happens next! Awesome emotional roller coaster! “ -Auna

“This series just keeps getting better and better.” -Brittany

“This story has had me hooked from the very start! I love how independent Avery is. I love a strong female that you can root for, someone who has some fire to her. Avery is definitely that girl! Sean shows us a little more this book and we see what happens in the darker side of Ms.Black’s company. She’s definitely not an enemy I’d want! All in all, once again, I have to give this hot, action packed steam fest five stars!” -Littleboysmom

“This series has hooked me and reeled me in. I had this volume read the night I received it and read it a second time before I went to bed. After reading this one, I am counting down the days until the next one is released. I was so caught up in the emotions that I was angry, I laughed, and I cried.” -Jodie D.

Description: Volume 1 in the Secrets Serials by NY Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward

Sex is supposed to be sexy, tantalizing, and completely erotic, but Anna never seems to find the right guy. This one seems to be a germ-a-phobe, and the previous boyfriend wasn’t much better. Anna just wants to be wanted. Is that too much to ask?

As Anna tries to wiggle out of one relationship, a new one surfaces, but it’s forbidden. Cole Stevens is twice her age, arrogant, rich, sexy as hell, and her boss. When Anna’s internship plans derail, she ends up interning at Cole’s elite New York City studio. Close proximity leads Anna to discover that the billionaire bachelor is emotionally scarred. Everyone has secrets, but Cole’s run deeper, cutting him to his core. Cole is trouble in a sexy shell. He’s nothing Anna needs and everything she wants.

99¢ TODAY ONLY AT KINDLE:

Genre: New Adult Romance
The entire Secrets series (Volume 1-5) is on sale now.

Dudes, I’m going to do an entire post on serials, but in case you don’t know the diff b/t a novel and a serial, here’s the drive-by version: A novel is a long story that you can settle into, typically over 50K words or 250 pages. The story has a single climax and usually unfolds like a bell curve. A serial is a story that unfolds over multiple volumes, by design. Its’ shorter (this book is about 32K words or 125 pages), each one has it’s own climax, it’s cram-packed with emotion, and it ends with a cliffhanger.

The entire SECRETS series is out, so you don’t have to wait for the next volume. Score! Pick it up and see why this series is so popular.

Update on THE ARRANGEMENT Series

Posted on February 18, 2013 by admin

About a week ago, I asked the fans if they thought I should make THE ARRANGEMENT series wrap up in the next volume, or if they wanted more Sean and Avery. The answer was MORE Sean and Avery. You guys asked for it, and got it! THE ARRANGEMENT serials will not end at volume 4. They will keep going. Hooray!

Here are the new covers for Vol 4 & 5. Oooh! Aaaaah!

Volume 4 will be released in a week or so. To get an email reminder on release day, you can click here to make sure you don’t miss it. Thank you to all the fans who love this series!

When I first starting writing THE ARRANGEMENT, I had no idea what people would think. I got a couple of weird looks when I mentioned it to people, but what do they know? The books took off quickly. Volume 3 has been sitting in the top 100 on Amazon and I’m getting tons of email asking when the next book will be out. It’s so awesome to know that many people love this story. I can’t wait to share the rest of Sean and Avery’s sexy story with you.

So, Volume 4 will be out in about a week. Thanks for reading!

Abby never thought she’d find her soul mate, but she has and it’s changed her life forever. Jack is everything she needs and more. There’s a connection between the two of them that transcends logic and rational thought. It’s like they were made for each other. Nothing can keep them apart.

After the honeymoon ends, Jack has the most important show of his career. The centerpiece is the scandal painting of Abby. It’s Jack’s defining piece, the start of a new era. But when Jack and Abby return home, something isn’t right. Jack becomes distant as his deepest fears manifest before his eyes.

Jack has been verbally attacked for his art in the past. It’s no secret; but what Abby doesn’t realize is that a hate group has also targeted him. They hold Jack personally responsible for the moral decay in society. Not only is this corruption seen in Jack’s art, but also in his life and love. Seducing Abby made Jack a prime target.

It isn’t enough to ruin Jack’s career—these activists want to end his life.

Everything hinges on Abby and she’ll do anything to protect the man she loves.

SCANDALOUS Hits the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List!

Posted on January 27, 2013 by admin

This week has been amazing! SCANDALOUS by H.M. Ward (me!) hit the New York Times Bestseller list! I had no idea it was even there. Someone had to tell me.

SCANDALOUS is a steamy contemporary romance where a woman finds herself facing the man and the life she had left behind when a moment of desperation compels her to follow a job lead as an artist’s assistant.

It was my debut romance novel, so this is totally amazing! It was written in one week back in April 2012. Someone awesome wondered what a romance book would look like, if I wrote it. So I did it. That’s where SCANDALOUS came from.

For the past 18 days the book has been in the top 100 on Amazon and hugging the top 100 line on B&N. I changed the cover and put it on sale earlier this month, and it took off.

The first cover shows the painting that’s in the book. I need to figure out how to showcase it, because it’s really cool. If you search for SCANDALOUS on this blog, you’ll see it.

It’s way cool.

The sequel SCANDALOUS 2, will be released on Valentine’s Day, Thursday, February 14, 2013.

That’s right, book #2 – more Jack and Abby! The second novel picks up where the first one left off. I can’t wait to share it with you! I’m so excited!

And if you gotta see the list to believe it (I did!) here it is. I drew the happy face! It’s totally amazing! I was doing the happy dance all night.

GET SCANDALOUS FOR ONLY 99¢!

Thank you to everyone who bought this book and recommended it to their friends. You guys are so freaking awesome, I can’t even tell you! I saw SCANDALOUS plugged all over the place yesterday.

A SCANDALOUS Giveaway! Win a Signed Copy of the Bestseller!

Posted on January 21, 2013 by admin

Enter to win a signed copy of the USA Today Bestseller, SCANDALOUS by H.M. Ward

DESCRIPTION: “I see it, Jack. Your muse is back. The thing that gave you passion, tormented you, and haunted you is back. You’re reeling in ecstasy and dread. It’s something you want, but can’t ever have. And the one that brings the pain is pure, white as snow… and standing in front of you.”

One kiss could have changed Abby’s life, but when it didn’t happen, she ran. Jack was everything to her and when he didn’t respond, Abby couldn’t bear it. Everything about that night–leaning in close to his face, feeling the night breeze teasing her hair, the way his scent filled her head–was burned vividly into her mind, including the moment when Jack pulled away. There was no kiss. Abby was wrong. She was wrong about him, wrong about them.

Maybe she didn’t have to go to college two thousand miles away, but she did. She had to forget about him. Abby threw herself off the grid, disappearing completely from the life she knew. After completing her undergraduate degree, she enrolled in seminary. All contact with her old life was severed and she never looked back, until she was forced to.

When Abby puts idealism into practice, her congregation throws her out. If she can survive a year on her own, they’ll take her back, and continue to pay off her student loans–but if she fails, Abby is on her own with enough debt to fund a small town. Seminary wasn’t cheap. With no place left to go, Abby returns to New York and her best friend takes her in.

Desperate to make it on her own and prove she was right, Abby follows a job lead to an art studio on Long Island. It isn’t until she hears Jack’s voice that she freezes. The hairs on the back of her neck prickle as she turns to see Jack, ten years later, looking even more tempting than before.

Fate is cruel. Abby left this life behind, but she’s thrown back into it, head first. It’s like someone hit rewind on her life and its ten years earlier. She’s the cotton-mouthed girl that she always was around Jack, and now her future relies on the man who rejected her.

SCANDALOUS 2 is scheduled for release February 1, 2013! Enter below!
