Abandoned by her mother and orphaned by her father, Jeden was left behind, the oldest of her sisters. She'd dedicated her life to looking after them; but now they've grown up, they've found their partners, they're moving on... and Jeden remains. Exactly where she's always been - working her days away at the restaurant just to return home to her silent, lonely apartment. Jeden longed for a partner, a family, a home; but she knew it wasn't in the cards. She was thirty-two and had never been asked on a date - for it seemed opinionated women with severe limps and glasses that looked like binoculars weren't exactly stealing the spotlight in any sane man's fantasies. Jeden was strong, self-assured... but she was also realistic, and exhausted. To shake things up, she made a decision on a whim to buy the home she'd always wanted in the suburbs. But instead of raining men, she suddenly developed a much less appetizing problem - a fucking HOA. Sick and tired of accepting the hand life dealt, she agrees to team up with her chatty neighbor to fight back against the resident egomaniacs... However, she never thought it would lead to feelings she'd never experienced or ignite a passion she didn't know existed. And as soon as she began to give in... to accept the exhilarating, wondrous experience of being craved... it culminated in a fallout that Jeden, in her trusting naivety, could have never seen coming. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven - complete (2) To Destroy a Raven - complete (3) To Betray a Raven - complete (4) To Crave a Raven - complete (5) To Lose a Raven - coming Fall 2025 Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

MONTANA He was the love of my life-until he left me standing in the wreckage of our marriage. Five years later, Jared Manelis is a world champion boxer, and the father of my daughters. The man he is today is galaxies away from the boy with blood on his knuckles who once promised me forever. Now a stranger, with the world at his fingertips and a talent for irritating me to no end. But when he's left fighting for his life after a championship match, everything changes. Suddenly, the man who broke me is back inside the walls I built to keep him out. Now he's asking questions we've both avoided for years; while our present battles to keep us apart, our past fights to be brought to the light and bind us together again. JARED Five years ago, fame, pride, and one stupid choice cost me my marriage-and the family I'd always dreamed of. Now I'm with a woman I don't love, have an ex who smiles at everyone but me, and a daughter too nervous to meet my eyes. Then I'm shot after the biggest night of my career-and all I can see is her. When death caresses your cheek, you know it's time to fight for what you want. So I force my way back into her world, where she can't ignore me anymore, and begin my fight for the truth, a chance to be us again. I'll remind her why she chose me all those years ago and show her why I'm worth choosing again.
