When Lainey Nickels hires a shifter mercenary to take on the job of rescuing her abducted brother Shane, she has no idea what she will encounter. It definitely isn't the enigmatic Gideon Hunt. He certainly looks like he could take on a jungle full of kidnappers singlehandedly. But Shane is her brother; her responsibility. Lainey isn't going to leave his fate in just anyone's hands. And she brought her passport to prove it.
Gideon Hunt would rather work alone and he makes damn sure to remind Lainey of this fact every chance he gets. But his predatory stares and gruff demands don't scare off Lainey. She's annoyingly independent, but her bravery draws him in. She accepts the man behind the brusque exterior and knows exactly who and what he is. To Lainey, he is one of the good guys. But Gideon knows better.
Stress and a need for comfort bring the two together in an explosion of passion, reawakening desires both had long forgotten. Neither expected their hearts to get involved.
I was the only girl here. The only living soul in this whole damn town. It had been almost a year since the beginning of the end, and I’d been here the entire time. It was my hometown, where I’d grown up. And where I thought I would die. Eventually. But I wasn’t ready. Not yet.”
A year ago, Jane Thornton had watched quietly as the world fell apart. Like a thief in the night, something had taken humanity, leaving behind only the dead and the flesh eaters. Or so she’d thought.
Being born mute had been a weakness in the old world, but now she used it to her advantage. If there was one thing she was good at, it was hiding. Until they found her.
Kaden and Mason were two of the biggest, most threatening men she’d ever seen. And she was now their captive. But if they were holding her against her will, where were her chains? Why were they so concerned about her safety and empty stomach? And how could her heart survive if she ran now?
All Kellan Archer wants for Christmas is peace and quiet as he learns how to adapt to this new life. But that's the last thing he gets when his pretty new neighbor shows up. She keeps dropping by, showing off her sweet treats and even sweeter curves. She's driving him and his wolf insane. The only answer is to make sure she and her son leave. The sooner the better.
Joanna Mackay and her son Cameron have just moved into their new home a few short weeks before Christmas. Though it's their favorite holiday, this year a heaviness surrounds the small family. They lost so much over the last year, but Joanna does everything she can to show Cam that there's still hope.
As Joanna slowly brings joy back into her son's life, she also works on the grouchy neighbor. Behind that tough facade is a teddy bear. She just knows it. All she has to do is remind him.
They lived.
They died.
While she was left all alone.
She never imagined one of her hospice patients would figure out what she was or ask for an explanation on her death bed. And Kassandra surely didn't expect the dying woman to give her something she hadn't had in almost two hundred years.
Hope.
"What you desire most is achievable. You must accept the invitation when it's presented."
While on the search for her true desire, she finds the man of her one and only dream, Cyrus Good. The attraction between them is instantaneous, but Kassandra can't help but feel like something is missing. And that maybe he has secrets as sinister as Salem itself.
And what about Xavier Drago? The mysterious man keeps popping up when she least expects him to. As annoying and demanding as he is, though, she can't help but be drawn to him just as intensely.
It all began with an invitation, but will it end with a happily ever after?

Sure. Right now I'm working on a few projects. The main one being the continuation of the Jane Thornton Trilogy. This series is set in the midst of a zombie apocalypse and written in the point of view of our heroin, Jane. She was born mute, and though she's always been a survivor, her disabilty has never been as useful as it is now. I'm working on books 2 and 3 in this series, so I don't want to give anything away, but readers should know it is a m/f/m romance, so it's a little spicy. And of course there are a lot of kicking zombie ass moments as well.
Who designed the covers?
I design my own covers.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Well, that's a hard one. There are so many books. Truthfully, I could give you a list as long as my arm with all the books that have influenced my life one way or another. I would say Dan Brown's Angels and Demons because it brought my love of reading back after a long drought. Also, Maya Banks' Colter Brother series opened my eyes to menage romance. And Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series. The first sex scene I ever read was in there. And my love of vampires and all things PNR began to grow significantly.
Do you remember the first book you read?
No. But the earliest book I remember has to be Where The Red Fern Grows. Sad story, but so lovely.
If any of your books was made into a film who would you like to play the lead?
Good question! I have no idea! lol Hmmm... I think our society is too close minded and not quite ready for the m/f/m stuff. Unfortunately. But I think my book, Behind The Mask would make a great movie or series. And for the lead, I think Odette Annable would do well as Kassandra Darkmorré. And Xavier reminds me of Antonio Cupo. *Insert dreamy sigh here.
Do you have a blog/website?
