Hi there, lovers of all things paranormal romance!
Thank you so much for joining me!
I am so happy to have you here.
Oh my word, my cat nearly gave me a heart attack just now!
The upstairs neighbor's cat came for a visit.
You see, they used to live in our apartment a few years ago before they bought the upstairs unit. But the poor moggie remembers living here, and now and then he comes for a walkabout in the garden—he doesn't come inside; just peeks through the windows.
And this time Aunty saw him!
If you didn't know that a cat could scream, you should have heard Aunty. I got such a fright. All her hair stood on end, her tail straight up in the air. She gave a good impression of a creature from the netherworld.
All I can say is that the poor old girl doesn't have any social graces—but she doesn't have to frighten me half to death because of it!
Besides the unearthly sounds a cat is capable of when you least expect it—usually in the dark of night!—we need to talk about...
A Widow, A Professional Seducer, and A Ghost
The soup hit the fan when widow Rachel's best friend gave her a very unusual gift for her 30th birthday.
Her husband doesn't like it, but he is dead, so he doesn't have a say.
Or does he? He seems to think he does.
Trip is the sex worker Rachel is supposed to spend the night with, but she doesn't want to be just one of his many women, and he doesn't get the concept of monogamy. Still, he won't be dictated to by a ghost.
But if Rachel is to have a love life at all, what can she do about her jealous pet ghost?
(Steamy. HEA guaranteed at the end of book 2)
Happy goosebumps!

Feral instincts unleash an alpha's power.
Nico
Grief drove me to fur. Feral madness kept me locked there for years.
Then I found her—my fated mate, a reluctant alpha with enough fire to match my own.
Her fangs marked me. Claimed me. Now, her pack is my pack. Her fight is my fight.
I can't keep her, not with the blood on my hands and the enemies at my back.
But I'll be damned if I let her run from her destiny.
Elise
I'm poison to my pack. A ticking time bomb of destruction.
My father's cruel, iron-fisted legacy haunts me. My wolf can still taste his blood on her fangs, a constant reminder of my sins.
None of that matters to him. Nico. A feral rogue who sees through my lies and awakens the power I've fought to bury.
One reckless night, one impulsive bite—and another sin is seared into my soul.
But the syndicate that hunted Nico for years has caught his scent, and they're howling to finish what they started.
They threatened my pack. They tried to put down my mate.
They've awakened the alpha within me, and I'll defend what's mine with fangs and claws.
Deeper in the mountains than the Crescent Hollow pack dares tread, the Dusk Valley Wolves are hunting their fated mates. Tamed by the Alpha Wolf features a grumpy alpha-in-denial, a broken rogue with a haunted past, and a spicy paranormal romance that bites back.

A villain of circumstance... battling for love.
They thought I was bad before... touch my mate and die. I'll burn down the world for her!
I’m Kristopher Wright, dammit. My life may be battles and crime, but muscle and intimidation rule Dixon’s Dragon Mafia. And I’ve got both in spades. I’ve sacrificed to get where I am, sacrificed for the man I owe my life to.
Abigail:
I regret moving home before the ink is dry on my diploma. Being back under dear ole dad's lock and key, with his band of thugs running the house, rips off the blinders to who my father really is.

I’ve been stolen from the academy I worked my entire life to get to…
Sometimes life is a real ass-kicker. I’ve been captured by the humans’ most hated enemy, the elves. They’ve been gone from Midgard for centuries, and now they decide to come back? Rude.
But hey, at least my magic finally decided to show up. Turns out I’m a pretty damn good runeshaper, too. All those countless hours of training without having magic at my fingertips really paid off.
Before being abducted by the pointy-ears, I made some brutal discoveries at Vikingrune
