Surprise! I'm dropping into your Inbox with a FREE story that I've been working on these past few days. I couldn't wait to share it with you! So, here it is. It's called The Vampire's Maid, and it's a steamy, steamy little thing. I've been wanting to try my hand at vampires for ages! Do give this short story a read and let me know what you think. Do I have what it takes to be a decent vamp writer? Haha!

Oh, and make sure you scroll down, too, because I have a second surprise for you. One word: ORC!

A Story of Blood and Seduction

My name is Elise. I’m an orphan, I’m poor, and I’m too naïve for this world. So, when a mysterious lord hires me to clean his castle from top to bottom, all on my own, and pays me a hefty sum in advance, I think nothing of it. I’m a good girl, and I know how to do my job well. But then I discover something in the basement…

A coffin.

I open it, and I immediately understand that I am doomed. I awaken a monster whose thirst can only be quenched by my blood and my body.

He will enslave me. But will he keep me?

All right, so I have a little something to confess. I wrote this short story and decided to offer it for free because I want to grow a second newsletter list that I have. It's not entirely mine, it's a newsletter I've built with two author friends, Rosemary A. Johns and Eva Brandt. I told you about it in the past. It's Pandora's Box of Paranormal Delights.

However, because you're on my personal newsletter list, you can download and read The Vampire's Maid with NO strings attached. You'll see that the links I gave above don't require a newsletter sign up.

If you want to join the Pandora list, you can, of course, do so. We send promotional emails every Wednesday, with curated book recommendations, freebies, and giveaways. You can unsubscribe at any time.

But again, no strings attached. Don't feel like you have to.

Okay, now for the second surprise! The fourth book in my Orc Mates series is up for pre-order! Yay! Baruk the Cursed has the BEST cover so far. I'm so in love with it... you can't even imagine! My designer outdid himself.

I set the release date for October 10, but you know me... I'll do my best to launch it early, at the end of September. Fingers crossed! That's a lot of writing coming in the next two weeks. LOL

Check it out, and give it a one-click if you like it. I'm very excited about this one!

Baruk the Cursed

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

Jenna Cole is done with her family, and the world of humans in general. She might as well become what they all say she is – an orc tribute. She doesn’t expect the brutish orcs to welcome her with open arms, especially after she’s had to escape from a horde once, but maybe she’ll have better luck this time. And as beastly as they are, if a captain chooses her as his bride, maybe he won’t betray her. Like her entire family did. Maybe he won’t shun her, maybe he’ll see her for who she really is. In the end, that’s all she wants: to be seen.

Baruk the Cursed needs a nanny for his twins. His horde has no females, and the only woman he’s ever loved is gone. When he meets Jenna at the institute for orc brides, he thinks she looks motherly enough. The twins are suffering after their mother’s loss, and the blond, curvy human might just be able to soothe them. As for him… Baruk doesn’t need anyone. Not anymore. They call him the Cursed because he’s always had bad luck. He took a bride once, and now she is no more. He won’t risk having his heart torn from his chest a second time.
