________________________________________________
Eve's power-hungry, witch parents will kill at the slightest insult, and Eve's unwillingness to use her own supernatural abilities is enough to incite them. Boaz, a powerful vampire, may be the only one able to save her, to give her the one thing she's never had--love. But in Eve's world, no one is who they seem, and everyone has an agenda. The more she stays with him, the more difficult it becomes to spot the true devils, especially when she becomes one herself.

Exsanguinate
Urban Fantasy Meets Paranormal Romance! "They can’t touch you!" What could possibly go wrong at Orlando’s beloved Global Studios Halloween Scream Nights theme park? Cheyenne O’Cuinn’s task is to study fear even though she is the biggest chicken on the planet. In order to carve out a slice of the billion dollar scare industry for her online role-play company, she researches what causes people to run screaming out of haunted attractions. Determined to face her own fear of Oldhouseophobia, Cheyenne confronts her bloodcurdling obsession - the dreaded haunted house. Her worst nightmare manifested, Cheyenne is brutally attacked and left for dead by a rogue vampire. Splattered across the front page of the Orlando Sentinel, Cheyenne discovers her sisters are missing while she recovers in the hospital. The ransom call from the kidnapper sets into motion the rabbit hole of a parallel supernatural reality she must play inside her game to rescue her family. In a race against the hourglass, Cheyenne confronts a double-agent vampire, a cyberchondriac werewolf, and a mafioso dragon. Can they be trusted to help her, or are they a part of the twisted scheme.

Morsels: Tales of Love and Passion (BDSM) (18+)
This is an ARC (review copy) of a commercially self-published work to which I retain all rights. A stripper gets caught in the act of impersonating a goddess... A beauty is loved by a beast... A painter makes her work come to life... literally. But there is a price to pay... Two Sapphic edge-players put the pieces of a flower arrangement to unusual uses on their first date... Here are some short stories that might satisfy you. Some are sweet. Some are savory. And some are spicy. The most common spice in this collection is not vanilla. Explicit. 18+ only. ════════════════════════════════════ "Sera Drake showcases impressive range, moving seamlessly from dark, Grimm-esque fairy tale retellings to contemporary tales of BDSM and magical realism... A highly recommended collection for open-minded readers looking for something beyond the conventional." - Champion (Amazon) "I loved the subtle aura of this book, the way the stories built up slowly, peaked, and faded, leaving me pondering, and I liked that the characters and vocabulary were not vulgar. I loved how the stories were arranged so that each story was better than the last." Ann Linus for Readers' Favorite "Drake is a pro at playing with the reader's emotions in a way that I am slightly terrified of...If you are someone who's tired of the hetero-normative blandness of Fifty Shades of Grey, give Morsels a try." - Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery ════════════════════════════════════ Morsels: Tales of Love and Passion was shortlisted in the 2025 Passionate Plume Awards, an annual contest hosted by Passionate Ink, a former affiliate of Romance Writers of America.Complete
BEWITCHED & BOTHERED
☆ 2022 WATTYS SHORTLIST ☆ Leonora 'Lena' Winterhaven is a witch on a dry spell. Somehow, she is the only one left in her coven (and possibly all of New York!) to still have her virtue intact at the age of twenty-nine. This would be fine and dandy, if not for a particular curse that afflicts one Winterhaven witch every half-century. Lena just happens to be that unlucky witch. If she remains a virgin by the age of thirty, Lena is in danger of losing all of her powers forever. And for Lena, forever is much too long a time to live without an enchanted shoe collection, perfectly-conjured cups of cappuccino every morning, nor the ability to deep clean her studio apartment with a snap of a finger. But what's a witch to do when these are her options? Vampires? Terribly morbid. Warlocks? Too self-absorbed. Werewolves? Absolutely frowned upon. ...even though Alpha Magnus MacCallan ignites her inner desires stronger than hellfire. 'What We Do in the Shadows' meets 'Sex & the City' in this enchanted tale of sexual awakening! Get ready for a journey filled with chills, thrills and cauldrons full of laughter ☆ [BOOK ONE IN THE WINTERHAVEN DUOLOGY]Complete

Morana, the Witch of Life
Morana knows she's different from other people in more ways than one. Firstly, she's sixty-seven years old but stopped ageing in her twenties. Weird things have also happened around her right after she's wished for it. But most importantly, no matter how she acts, people feel uncomfortable around her. Unfortunately, she has no way of finding out why all of this is since she was abandoned as a baby. A shocking event makes her cross paths with Alejo, a male witch who has issues trusting other witches. But when it comes to Morana, he feels comfortable and at ease, as well as attracted to her. They are, however, not mates, and as such, he knows that any romantic relationship between them is doomed to fail. To not risk losing her, he therefore does all he can to fight his own feelings. [Can be read without having read volume one and two] ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence (magical mainly, but some that's rather bloody), death, attempted rape (happens in chapter 42 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fairly none-descriptive, focus is on emotions, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), abuse both physically and verbally - mention of past child abuse. There is no self-harm, however, there are certain aspects that might still be triggering in that regard. If you ever have any questions about the content and potential triggers, feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than happy to specify more if need be. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)Complete
