When trouble drags Wren back to New Yorkʼs underworld, she has no choice but to face the past she never outran. She never stopped yearning for the boy who lit up her world seven years ago, the only person who ever made her feel truly alive.

Orazio Ricci never planned to settle down, let alone marry a woman he's never met. But loyalty to his family means sacrificing his freedom, and now he's stuck with a stranger who's as icy as she is breathtaking. Anastasia Nosov, the daughter of a powerful Russian Don, is used to surviving alone. Trust isn't easy for her, especially not with the cocky, golden-skinned man who looks at her like he's undressing her with his eyes. She was the Don's Fiancee, but now she is his. Forced to live under the same roof, the reluctant sexual tension between them ignites into something hotter and far more dangerous than either expected. Anastasia sees past Orazio's easy charm to the fiercely protective heart he hides, and Orazio realizes that beneath Anastasia's cool mask is a woman who's been hurt too deeply to trust easily. When a threat from Anastasia's past comes hunting, the walls between them fall. What started as obligation becomes devotion. What started as heat becomes love. But loving Anastasia might cost Orazio everything, and he's never been one to lose a fight.

Juliet Adair moved to Pine Falls, Colorado for a reason. The small town is full of werewolves. Hopefully the kind that will keep out of her business as long as she keeps out of theirs. Unfortunately, one wolf seems to have formed a grudge against the new librarian, and wants nothing more than to see her pack up and move along. Roderick Jameson doesn't trust Juliet. She's an outsider, but more than that, she's hoarding secrets. As the leader of the Pine Falls werewolf pack, it is his job to keep his people safe. Any knowledge he doesn't have is dangerous. But the woman scoffs at his intimidation tactics, and she somehow convinces him to install a state-of-the-art security system in her house when his goal was to drive her away. Doesn't help that his inner wolf is lovesick for the fiery greeting card crafter. These two enemies find their animosity flaring hotter until the thin sheet of paper between loathing and longing goes up in flames. But if any kind of lasting connection can be formed, both woman and wolf will need to learn to trust despite the betrayals that lurk in their past. The same shadows that become solid, threatening their future. *Note: This is book 2 in the Wolves of Pine Falls series and it has spoilers for book 1, Claws & Crochet. But this story can still be read as a standalone!

Book 5.5! 19-year old Winter is on the hunt for vampires. Not any vampires, just one group in particular. After growing up in a family of vampire hunters and losing all contact with them, Winter makes it her life goal to track down every single vampire there the night her family home burned to the ground six years ago. With no family left, and nowhere to go, Winter searches for answers and revenge all in one. Her search sometimes leads to making vampire friends, and other times leads to eradicating an entire clan. Her one purpose is to find those responsible, get answers on her missing family's status- dead or simply missing- and kill any involved in her whole world burning falling apart. Thaddeus is one of the oldest vampires in the world, set on a mission to take over and replace The Elders, the supernatural government that has grossly overstepped their boundaries and operated on unethical means to maintain their power while losing sight of caring for their people. It isn't his first attempt at overthrowing the powerful force, but as his list of allies grow, so does his list of complications. Between maintaining relationships with his new allies, protecting the key pieces in his plan, and trying to coax a long lost supernatural out of hiding, he has no time for anything else. Especially not the vampire-hunting human his brother associates with. Winter and Thaddeus find their paths crossing more than either of them like. They butt heads, threaten and attempt to kill each other, and find through all their conflict that there is something underneath. An unwanted camaraderie, an unfortunate mutual understanding of the others motivations, and most inconveniently, a draw to each other that takes time away from their firm ambitions. On the matter of the greater good or love, both have to choose which means more to them.

No matter how much she tries to forget Oliver, his touch, those piercing eyes, the way he did things to her body that no man had done before. Intrigue and temptation get the better of Isabelle Maddox, and she returns to the V Club to see if the man she keeps seeing in her dreams, could be anything more than just a one time affair. This is book 2, please read The Voyeurist's Club first. The Voyeurist's Club was my first published online book and I appreciate now that it is rather short. I never expected anyone to read it let alone over 20,000 people! Thank you for all your support, encouragement and patience. Creativity is not something that can be forced so I'm sorry this hasn't come sooner. I actually wrote several chapters for this book straight after finishing The Voyeurist's Club, but then The character of Dom (His Daughter) came to me and I got wrapped up in writing about him and Georgiana. ⚠️ Warning adult nature content His words made me feel nervous. Why was he being so cold? Perhaps this had been a bad idea. He grabbed my hand fumbled with the door and dragged me onto the stage. There was a small gasp before figures started emerging at the sides of the stage. Wow there really were more people this time. I looked about the stage. The set was exactly the same. So was this episode two of Christina and Greg?
