To Crave a Raven
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.

To Destroy a Raven
Overlooked, average, forgettable, quiet - a selection of the nicer words used to describe Samantha Raven. Being born into the world of drugs and crime, Sam's education in self-sufficiency began at birth. Even after being transferred into the care of the stalwart Raven household, she held tightly to the hard lessons learned throughout her childhood - such as the advantages to being underestimated, the cruel machinations of kindness, and the safety in silence. So when Henry Williams stumbled into her life, the epitome of sweet and sincere, she was inherently suspicious. And when her suspicions were confirmed through the accidental discovery of a business deal hinging on the results of a bet - Sam came to the realization that she was sick of playing the pawn. It would take a hell of a lot more than a bet to destroy this Raven - and it was past time that she became the main character of her own life, beginning with a healthy dose of revenge. ---- 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.
