Sunny Briar
No matter how full her bookshelves may be, she always has room for more vampire lore...
Sunny Briar grew up roaming the grounds of UC Berkeley, the campus her professor father called home. When she became a student, the Berkeley library remained her favorite place in the world, and she dreamed of one day seeing her own books on the shelves. After a few years working in a stuffy office, Sunny left the corporate world to focus on her true passion—writing romance novels about characters who love freely, openly, and with their whole hearts…whether or not those hearts are beating.
Sunny’s books weave paranormal elements with themes of soul-deep longing, forbidden love, and connections strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Full of lush settings and college-town charm, Sunny's books use heartache and tension to explore humanity—and beyond.
Today, Sunny lives in Berkeley with her husband, who melted her heart with his smile when they first met (and still does). After a whirlwind romance that served as the inspiration for one of Sunny’s books, they married in a century-old chapel and moved into a historic cottage together, where they live with their two children Amelia and Samuel, their spoiled (but loveable) Boston Terriers Lilly and Peanut, and their snuggly kittens, Prizee and Misty.
Sunny loves the idea of living life to the fullest, savoring every second and embracing new adventures. Despite how busy life gets, Sunny makes a weekly pilgrimage to the Berkeley library to relax, soak in the smell of old books, and draw inspiration.
Today, Sunny intorduces her book,
Where Lightning Strikes Twice
Fated Mates, Stubborn Hearts: A Wild Territories Shifter Romance
In a world where sky and earth are sworn enemies, a storm eagle with fire in his eyes awakens dormant powers in Haven’s Heart’s lead geneticist.
Dr. Elena Ashford has always believed science could bridge the divide between shifters, resisting political pressure to exploit genetic vulnerabilities in the war with the wild clans.
But when the golden-winged leader of the Storm Eagles crashes into her life carrying his injured sister, everything she believes about herself shatters, testing her loyalty.
Her healer’s oath and her heart would not allow her to refuse help even to the enemy who’s been raiding Haven’s Heart’s settlements for months.
Kael Stormwright is dangerous and absolutely forbidden, the apex predator her people have been hunting. He is everything she should fear and nothing she can resist.
Bound by tradition, he sees ground-dwellers as weak until a glimpse of a human healer ignites something ancient in his blood… and his heart.
Soon they can no longer deny the fated mate pull or the way her power surges every time he’s near, as if her body recognizes something her mind refuses to accept...
As war brews between sky and earth, Elena and Kael find themselves caught in a web of treachery, genetic secrets, and a destiny neither asked for.
To save both their peoples, they must defy clan laws, face a rising tyrant, and embrace a bond that could either unite or destroy them all.
Perfect for fans of elemental magic, fated mates, and fierce romance, Where Lightning Strikes Twice is a sweeping tale of love, loyalty, and the power of breaking boundaries.
