Hi, my lovelies! Happy April! Why do I say Happy April? Because it's my month! My birthday is on the 18th, it's the month of Aries, and I naturally have so much energy and so much inspiration in April. Who else is an Aries? Reply to this email and let's hype each other up. As I like to tell my Capricorn boyfriend, Aries make the world go round. Haha!

Let's see what news I have for you today. First, there's another FREE anthology I'm participating in this month, this time all about angels and demons. You can download it on BookFunnel, just be aware that when you download it, you agree to be subscribed to all the participating authors' newsletters. But it's really just six authors, me included. I don't yet have a cover for my contribution to this antho (my designer is working on it), but my novella is called Denied at the Gates of Hell, it's a dark reverse harem with demons, and it plays on the rejected mate trope. I really hope I'll have a cover to show you next week. This novella is supposed to be a prequel to my rejected mate trilogy that I'll be writing and releasing this spring-summer.

All right, what else? I have two other things going on, but they're not ready yet. In the free March anthology, I had two stories - one a prequel to my best-selling series Alma Venus Shifter-Brides, and the other one an orc romance. The first one, Tribute to the Alpha, is currently up on all retailers, and it's free. For now, it's only free on Barnes&Noble, Apple, and Kobo, and I'm waiting for Amazon to price match, which can take a while. But if you get your books from these three retailers, I'll just give you the links below so you can read Tribute to the Alpha right away.

And what I decided to do with the orc romance - Rogan the Gray - is different. I realized there's more to the story than I wrote for the anthology, and I'm expanding it and turning it into a novel. It's currently on pre-order on Amazon, to be released on April 17 (one day before my birthday). This one will be in Kindle Unlimited. So yeah... I'm gonna link all this stuff below.

Tribute to the Alpha (Alma Venus Shifter-Brides Prequel)

FREE

Barnes&Noble | Apple Books | Kobo

The war between humans and shapeshifters must end. There has been too much bloodshed, and it's time for the factions to sign a peace treaty. But there is one man, one wolf warrior, who does not want peace. Not even when humans would be forced to provide shifters with brides to bear them heirs. Ruarc Bloodmoon is not interested in a willing human bride. All he wants is power.

Alma is the only daughter of the future representative of the human faction, and she is ready to sacrifice herself to keep her loved ones safe. Ruarc will listen to no one and negotiate with no one, but maybe he will, if she offers herself to him. If she becomes the first shifter bride in history, maybe he will finally see that peace is the only way for humans and shifters to move forward.

Note from the author: This is a prequel to the Alma Venus Shifter-Brides series, which currently has four completed novels and various bonus novellas available to read. The series is complete, and ready for you to devour.

Rogan the Gray (Orc Mates)

Pre-order, release date April 17

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

When the orcs invaded the human dimension, no one could stop them. War raged for years, and now the monstrous beasts have agreed to peace on two conditions: one, the human scientists must rebuild the machine that brought them into this world; and two, they must be provided with fertile brides to bear them orc babies.

Tara Caraway has been sentenced to death for a crime she didn’t commit. The only way to save her own life is to volunteer to become a tribute and join one of the institutes that prepare human females to become orc mates. Some say that being an orc bride is even worse than being dead, but she’s willing to take this chance. She doesn’t care what happens to her as long as there’s hope that she can escape later, find the one who killed her sister and framed her, and take revenge.

Rogan the Gray doesn’t need a human mate. All he wants is to live in the mountains with his horde and wait for the moment when they can all return home. But who knows if that will ever happen, and in the meantime, there aren’t enough female orcs for the orc warriors. Maybe, if he takes a human bride, his days won’t be so bleak.

And that's that in author news from me. I'm going to leave you with some book recs below in case you need more good reads this weekend. And I'm gonna go smash some word counts!

Love,

Cara

When Dhakhar and his crew board a suspicious vessel, he thinks they're about to find a shipment of illegal weapons. But the cargo is actually something far worse - a collection of cryogenically frozen women, abducted from an unknown planet. And Dhakhar has just accidentally woken one of them up.

Waking up in a box full of freezing water has not been Charlie's favourite experience. Discovering she's lightyears from home only makes matters worse. But for some reason, the aliens who've rescued her think she's a princess, and Charlie is just going to roll with it. If they realise she's utterly unimportant, they might just try to force her back inside her icy coffin so they can ship her home without any hassle. Although, she might come to regret opting to take the long way home with surly Captain Dhakhar...

With one kiss I can see when, where and how you will die.

Some would call it a gift. But not me.

My death kiss is a curse that has branded me a witch, with no human rights, and has turned me into the most wanted girl on earth.

Why? Because in a world where a vicious movement of sadistic killers are murdering random people to stop overpopulation, my kiss holds the power for salvation.

And makes me a prime target for abduction.

Which is where I am now. Captured by three brothers, burning with grief after witnessing my parents’ murder, and tormented with fear of what is yet to come…

For something doesn’t add up.

I’m trapped inside a deadly game of kiss and tell, but I know there’s a darker agenda at play.

Happy reading!
