If you’ve finished reading IRELAND, you already know the title of Book 2. And if you’re subscribed to my newsletter, you’ve already seen the cover and release date, too! (Subscribers are always the first to know…) The rest of you who haven’t finished reading yet or aren’t subscribers may wonder if there will be more books after IRELAND. Obviously, from the above, the answer is yes! 😘 Time moves slowly in these books because there are so many characters, and a lot is happening. That means there’s plenty of story left to share! P.S. Comment TIGRESS if you’re ready to experience Book 1 of the Crossroads Series! . . . . . . . #sylviaday #gideoncross #crossfireseries #romancebooks #2025reads #2025anticipatedreads #crossroadsseries #reading #books #bookrecommendations #booklover #gideva
How it’s going… (part 1) 👇 ✨CHAPTER 1 “I hope you’re ready to celebrate!” Ireland Vidal tapped her pen against her desktop and grinned at the woman on her left monitor. On the right, the music video she’d just watched was frozen on the last frame. She resisted the urge to replay it for a third time. “You’ve outdone yourself again!” Alina Rurik beamed with pleasure. She was a striking woman. Her hair draped her slim shoulders in soft brown waves, framing a face boasting luminous, makeup-free skin. “I’m glad you love it, too,” she said. “I’m especially proud of this one.” “As you should be!” A true bohemian soul, Alina’s easygoing and drama-free nature appealed to Ireland when they’d met as students at Columbia. They’d been best friends ever since and were now a powerhouse production team. There were some things Ireland loved about her job; working with Alina was one of them. “Thanks, Ireland.” A text message appeared above Alina’s head and Ireland immediately glanced at it. Only family messages appeared on her work monitors because they were always her priority. We need to talk. Leaving the Crossfire now. Gideon never wasted words nor time, and she straightened at the sight of his name and photo… 👉 Comment RSVP for the link to continue reading the *entire* first chapter of Ireland’s story! . . . . . . . #sylviaday #gideoncross #crossfireseries #romancebooks #spicybooks #indieauthor #crossroadsseries #reading #books #bookrecommendations #booklover
Okay, I had to do another #TBT to the Irish-Italian parade. 😉 🍀 It was so much fun anticipating IRELAND’s release in the area Ronan knows and loves best. I’ve written a lot about NYC over the years, but New Orleans has long held a piece of my heart. Thankfully, my bestie lives there, so I have good reason to visit often. Laissez les bons temps rouler, as they say! Who else was captivated by Ronan’s Cajun charm? 🙋🏻♀️ xo, Syl . . . . . . . #writersofig #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writer #authorlife #storyteller #storytelling #sylviaday #throwback #throwbackthursday
✨ “You ever finish a series and you feel you need to take some time before you even think about picking up another book?

“If you are ready to be transported back to the Crossfire world but 10 ~ years later RUN 🏃♀️ to grab this next installment but following Ireland, Gideons’ sister. She’s grown up, shes been picking duds, but is Ronan different? I finished this in one sitting it was so good! I love Ireland. I have several favorite parts, there is real drama, and conflict to be solved. So many questions left to be answered and can’t wait for the next one! 5 ⭐️ 5 🌶️ (it’s not overkill – Sylvia’s spice actually drives the plot, so it’s never overkill) CHAPTER 14 ATE! Hands down one of the chapters you kick your feet the entire time! Thanks again @sylvia_day for bringing us back into the world! Oh and of course you can get some cameos from some of our faves (Gideon, Eva, and more)!” Thank you so much, @allyboydsreads for this #SylviaFanFriDAY feature!

✨His sinner’s mouth curved in a smile that didn’t soften his piercing focus. “If you want to use my body to pleasure yours, I’m at your service. Any time. Any place. Except for right now, when you’ll have to come over here and take it.” “Why? I’m right here by the bed.” “And far too tempting for what little restraint I have left. Come set the pace, cher.” Ireland bit her lower lip and threw caution—which she exercised so little of anyway—to the wind. She descended the short steps and closed the distance between them, wishing she’d kept her heels on for visual impact. When she stopped in front of him, she took a moment to relish the unusual feeling of being petite next to his tall frame. Without her stilettos, she was at eye level with his collar. She watched as his tanned, strong throat worked on a hard swallow, betraying his reaction to her. Placing both hands on his chest, she felt the heat and strength of his body and the elevated beat of his heart through the material of his dress shirt. Her fingers flexed, finding hardly any give. She surged onto her tiptoes, pressing her nose into the crook of his neck. Ronan absorbed the sudden press of her weight with a hoarse laugh, his hands catching her hips to steady her. Nuzzling, Ireland breathed him in with a soft hum of delight. The scent of his skin was familiar now and as decadent as the rest of him. The fragrance—smoky, intoxicating, and sexy as hell—was wickedly alluring for a man with no vices. It resonated inside her, making her feel safe and highly attuned to him. She licked the salt from his skin in a long, slow lap. He shivered violently and cursed, his hands gripping her too tightly. His erection was like steel against her lower belly. Her low laugh was exultant. “I’ll have you again,” he said gruffly. “If you want mercy when that happens, you’d best show some now.” – IRELAND✨ Comment RSVP for the link to reserve Book 2 in the Crossroads series, or TIGRESS to start reading Ireland’s story! . . . . . . . #sylviaday #gideoncross #crossfireseries #romancebooks #2025reads #2026anticipatedreads #crossroadsseries #reading #books #bookrecommendations #booklover #gideva

✨Eva tried to slow her steps so that she didn’t tug on her husband’s hand, but she was growing impatient and starting to feel like her attempt at non-meddling was fruitless. “If I’d known you had this much energy,” Gideon said, his other hand holding Lucky’s leash, “I would’ve gone for Round Two before letting you out of bed this morning.” “Fiend,” she chastised absently as they crossed the Bow Bridge. “You act like two orgasms don’t count as two rounds. And we haven’t taken our time in the Park since forever.” When they reached the dappled path on the other side of the Lake, she turned right, taking them in the opposite direction from their home. Behind them, their security detail began crossing over the bridge. “Are you planning on surveying the entire eight hundred forty-three acres?” he asked. When he said it like that, her goal really did sound ludicrous. She slid a sidelong glance his way, but when she caught his teasing smile, she found herself staring. God, he was gorgeous. And it was totally effortless for him. He was dressed casually in shorts and a white V-neck T-shirt, with black wayfarer sunglasses shielding those brilliantly blue eyes. A breeze swept through his inky hair, and her synapses fried momentarily. With effort, Eva shook it off and looked away, returning to her furtive search of the grassy area to her left. “Stop distracting me, ace.” “What exactly am I distracting you from?” Oops. She scrambled for something to say. “I’m planning a seduction in my head if you must know.” “How intriguing. Let’s discuss.” “It’s not a surprise if I tell you about it in advance,” she muttered, startled by the number of picnickers dotting the grass. Suddenly, her task seemed herculean. – IRELAND✨ Comment RSVP for the link to reserve Book 2 in the Crossroads series, or TIGRESS for the link to start reading Ireland’s story! . . . . . . . #sylviaday #gideoncross #crossfireseries #romancebooks #2025reads #2026anticipatedreads #crossroadsseries #reading #books #bookrecommendations #booklover #gideva

✨Ronan Boudreaux had the kind of magnetism commonly referred to as stage presence, and like the artists she worked with, Ireland found it surreal that someone so extraordinary could walk among mortals like he was one of them. Was he oblivious to how women’s heads turned when they walked by? Their furtive glances and outright covetous stares. No, he couldn’t be. He’d been so quick to set boundaries when they first spoke. What changed his mind? It wasn’t her looks; he’d admired them from the first. It wasn’t her occupation or family ties because he didn’t know of them. For all of the exquisite packaging he came with, it was the idea of being wanted for something invisible and innate that most enthralled her. Although to be honest, ripping into that packaging with careful teeth and greedy hands was something she’d very much like to do. Ronan stood beside the entrance awning, conversing with a neatly dressed woman with a cascade of salt and pepper hair. He caught Ireland’s gaze as her taxi pulled up to the curb, and his lips curved into a heated smile that made her so very glad that she was able to come. He’d pulled on his suit jacket and wore a burgundy tie that she noticed had a subtle fleur-de-lis texture when he leaned in to help her get out. The impact of his gorgeous face, so much closer now that they stood a mere few inches from each other, scattered her thoughts to the wind. God, he was stunning. And so totally male. He exuded sex and sin. And he smelled like the darkest of temptations blended with whiskey and spice. – IRELAND✨ Comment RSVP for the link to reserve Book 2 in the Crossroads series, or TIGRESS for the link to start reading Ireland’s story! . . . . . . . #sylviaday #gideoncross #crossfireseries #romancebooks #2025reads #2026anticipatedreads #crossroadsseries #reading #books #bookrecommendations #booklover #gideva
