Illusion is FREE to Celebrate the Release of Tainted

Rebecca Hope-Patko and her husband, Lord Justyn, are living their dream. After a successful stint on Broadway, the super couple are heading Down Under for a special showing of Phantom Returns, where their son Erik will join them for his professional debut.

As soon as their plane touches down, they discover that a serial killer is stalking Melbourne. At the theater, a strange series of accidents leaves Rebecca fearing for the safety of her family. Rebecca struggles to unravel the mystery while coping with insecurities about her career which cause tension between her and Justyn.

It’s clear a very real Phantom is lurking among them, but Rebecca is no kid anymore. She’s tired of the villain getting the upper hand. This time, Rebecca is setting the trap. This opera diva will put her life and her marriage on the line to shatter the illusions surrounding Queen’s Theater and stop the serial killer before they can strike again.

Available exclusively on Amazon.

Rebecca Hope-Patko and her husband Lord Justyn are reuniting with their former screen partner, Italian opera singer Luciano Domingo, for a thrilling Gothic rock revival of Repo Man. But what should be a career milestone unravels into backstage warfare when Luke’s three entitled adult children also join the cast, igniting a storm of egos, power plays, and simmering resentment.

Erik Patko is finally hitting his stride. His haunting compositions are earning acclaim, and his bond with his girlfriend Priscilla has never been stronger. Then, a shocking betrayal shakes his foundation, unearthing old wounds and threatening his hard-earned recovery.

With tensions between the two families at a breaking point and pranks escalating to violence, suspicion turns toward the Patkos. As opening night looms, real-life drama collides with theatrical chaos, building to a final act that plays out not behind the scenes, but live on stage.

Phantom is FREE to Celebrate the Release of Tainted!

The Phantom was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses "Phantom" as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars-Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist. Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn't know who to trust, but she knows she's running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty-first century phantom finally be revealed.

🖤 Mistress Kali Takes the Crown!🖤

I’m thrilled to announce that Tickled to Death, Book One in the Domme Mom Murder Mystery series, just won First Place in the June 2025 Book Shelf Cover Contest!

This honor means the world to me, not just because it’s a win, but because the cover perfectly captures the spirit of the story: sultry, shadowy, and just a touch unhinged. And for that, I owe everything to the incredibly talented Anne Hoelz, who served as both editor and cover designer. Her ability to combine elegance with just the right amount of danger brought Mistress Kali to life before readers even crack open the first page.

In Tickled to Death, Rhonda Campbell, a.k.a. Mistress Kali, has left her legal briefs behind in favor of leather, latex, and a whole lot of secrets. But when a longtime client dies under suspicious (and kinky) circumstances, our dominant diva must team up with a by-the-book detective to unmask a killer who’s turned safe words into murder weapons.

It’s a story full of sass, suspense, and smirking seduction, and now it has an award-winning cover to match. 🖤

Thank you to everyone who voted and supported me in this journey. And again, hats off (or corsets off?) to Anne Hoelz. You helped me dress my book to kill.

Coming Fall 2025 - Tainted , Dark Musicals Book 13 (A Repo! Inspired Mystery)

Rebecca Hope-Patko and her husband Lord Justyn are reuniting with their former screen partner, Italian opera singer Luciano Domingo, for a thrilling Gothic rock revival of Repo Man. But what should be a career milestone unravels into backstage warfare when Luke’s three entitled adult children also join the cast, igniting a storm of egos, power plays, and simmering resentment.

Erik Patko is finally hitting his stride. His haunting compositions are earning acclaim, and his bond with his girlfriend Priscilla has never been stronger. Then, a shocking betrayal shakes his foundation, unearthing old wounds and threatening his hard-earned recovery.

With tensions between the two families at a breaking point and pranks escalating to violence, suspicion turns toward the Patkos. As opening night looms, real-life drama collides with theatrical chaos, building to a final act that plays out not behind the scenes—but live on stage.

 

Want a closer sneak peek? 

Meet the Domingos: a theatrical dynasty wrapped in velvet and scandal, poised to wreak havoc. Leading the charge is Luciano Domingo—first introduced in Haunted as the deliciously wicked Count Fosco, now reborn as the cold-blooded Rotti. A world-renowned opera singer with a voice as lethal as his rumored mafia ties, Luke is the kind of man who commands silence with a single glance. He’s fathered eight children across the globe, each named for the city of their conception, and now he’s brought three of them to the stage with him—because what’s a little nepotism when you’re an icon?

Roman Domingo storms into the role of Luigi with clenched fists and a chip on both shoulders. Short-tempered, loud, and permanently annoyed, Roman has perfected the art of yelling through walls and stomping down hallways. His presence on set is volatile, explosive, and strangely mesmerizing. If you hear screaming backstage, odds are it's Roman letting someone know they did everything wrong.

Lucca Domingo floats in on a cloud of cologne and chaos, draped in silks and secrets. He’s playing Pavi, naturally—vain, theatrical, and just enough of a menace to make the lighting crew sweat. Lucca’s reputation precedes him, thanks to his habit of seducing half the cast and crew regardless of gender, mood, or lighting. He’s beautiful, he knows it, and he’s not here to make friends—unless it’s in the dressing room.

London Domingo is the baby of the trio, but don’t let that fool you. As Amber, she oozes entitlement with every glitter-drenched note. British-born, sharp-tongued, and armed with an ego big enough to eclipse the stage lights, London has no time for pleasantries and even less patience for anyone who gets in her way. She demands perfection, designer tea, and the last word in every conversation.

Together, the Domingos are here to unsettle the Patkos and cause backstage drama, diva standoffs, and glitter-fueled sabotage. Buckle up—this family doesn’t just steal scenes. They burn the script and dare you to keep up.

Drew DiPalma feels like he's living a lie.

He's had it with his Hollywood persona, the high-maintenance women, and his sleazy agent. To escape the madness, he flees to a tourist town he'd often visited as a child. He never expected to find love on that little island. Then he stumbles upon Lainey alone on the swing set of a deserted beach.

After a dozen internet dating disasters, Lainey Riccardo has given up on romance--until she meets a West Coast hunk who has no trouble winning her heart. But Lainey only knows him as Drew, not the Oscar-nominated actor who's constantly scandalized in the tabloids.

When she learns the truth, will the small town Jersey girl be able to accept Drew's fast-paced life? Or will the truth drive her away forever?
