To Betray a Raven
Nellie Raven's favorite thing to do was crochet. Despite her community-wide notoriety for causing trouble, her desires in life were actually quite simple. She wanted security, she wanted a family, and she wanted yarn - in no particular order. And when she met Connor Bree, a single father with a passion for life that matched her own, she thought she'd finally found the place where her heart belonged. Nellie was a born fighter whose loyalties ran deep - and she was prepared to fight for what she'd found with Connor. That is, until the day she found herself in the midst of a misunderstanding that she couldn't control; and she learned precisely where Connor's true loyalties belonged. Faced with the betrayal of the man she loved, Nellie is forced to confront just how far her loyalty will stretch - before it snaps irrevocably. And when Connor is slapped with his own dose of reality, he's about to discover exactly how far a Raven is capable of taking a grudge. ---- 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.

Raven Rose Kelly doesn't need saving. She's twenty-three, broke, drowning in debt, raising her little brother alone in a shitty trailer, and working herself to the bone just to keep food on the table. She's tired, angry, sharp-mouthed, and too damn stubborn to let anyone close. Ali Vitelli doesn't ask permission. Ex-gangster. Heir to dirty money.

Ali is a danger Raven can't escape. But when survival has always meant keeping her guard up, will Raven let herself fall?

The Wolven King {18+} (Sample)
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.
