In the mist of Louisiana bayou and New Orleans, Tabhita "Tabby" Evergreen has grown into a witch of formidable power. Orphaned at twelve after vampires slaughtered her parents, Tabby was taken in by Madame Dubé, a voodoo priestess whose teachings of ancestral magic shaped her into the bayou's fierce protector. To Tabby, all vampires are monsters, and she has sworn never to forgive their kind.
But her oath is tested when she encounters Lucien Moreau, a centuries-old vampire who doesn't strike but kneels, whispering a name Tabby doesn't recognize as her own: Charlotte. Lucien believes Tabby is the reincarnation of his mortal lover, a healer he lost centuries ago in a war between witches and vampires. To him, she is fate returned. To Tabby, he is the embodiment of everything she has vowed to destroy.
As vampire clans circle the bayou, drawn by whispers of Tabby's growing power, she becomes both a target and a prize. Her hatred collides with a pull she cannot explain dreams that don't belong to her, emotions that stir like echoes of another life. Torn between the memory of a love she never lived and the vengeance that defines her, Tabby must choose: cling to her rage, or risk her heart on a man who may be bound to her by blood, fate, and a past she doesn't remember.

Feral Hearts (Excerpt Only)
This is an excerpt only, the full story has been moved to Kindle. A thousand years ago, black witches created the beast bound by enslaving and binding the souls of wolves to demons. Granting them the ability to take human form, and access to the world's magics. After breaking free of servitude, and with more of their land being dominated by humanity, more and more of the beasts have mixed with humankind. With the half bloods losing access to their powers with every generation, the pureblooded wolves have cemented themselves as the alphas of all the packs. The only ones who have retained the might of their magic. There are two rules for a pureblood: 1. Keep your line pure. 2. Bear at least one child. To ensure they remain in control, the punishment for failing in their duty is death. When Natania's mother dies giving birth to her, her father, Alistair, abandons her to be raised by the pack's omegas. Where survival relies on compassion and community over brute strength. After Alistair suddenly reclaims her at ten years old, Natania, desperate to earn her place and her father's approval, must navigate brutal training, pack politics, and a future she doesn't want to face. Grappling with the inequality within the pack, she struggles to unite them under her leadership. But when her heart stirs for Leah, a half blooded wolf in her pack, the weight of her bloodline becomes too much to bear. When a devastating attack shatters their world and a powerful, manipulative alpha is forced upon her, Natania must fight for her very survival, discovering that the greatest threats may come from within her own pack, and her own heart.

The Return of Naomi Blackwood
The Return of Naomi Blackwood Supernatural. Seductive. Vengeful. When Naomi Blackwood rises from her grave in the heart of New Orleans, the clock in her gold pocket watch begins to tick again-for the first time since the moment of her death in the 1800s. Her resurrection wasn't an accident. It was a trigger. Human blood spilled across her grave, awakening her from eternal sleep and setting something ancient in motion. Naomi doesn't remember who killed her or why, but she's certain of one thing: she wasn't meant to stay dead. Now she roams a world she doesn't recognize, wrapped in mystery, power, and an old hunger for answers. But she's not the only one stirred by her return. Her awakening has rippled through the supernatural underworld-unearthing forces that were never meant to rise. Old powers are watching. Some want her restored. Others want her silenced. Then there's Ivy-a modern woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Naomi's long-lost love. But Ivy is no echo of the past. She's sharp, skeptical, and entirely her own. As the two women unravel the mystery behind Naomi's death and the strange magic pulling them together, something deeper sparks between them-something Naomi hasn't felt in over a century. Naomi was brought back for a reason. But to find out why, she'll have to uncover the truth about her past, face the darkness that's followed her into the present, and decide whether she's here for revenge, redemption... or something far more dangerous.Complete
Wolf's Den: Dream Chaser
Behind the bar at Wolf's Den, Silasine Cain pours whiskey for monsters and gods alike. She's thirty-four, beautiful, and carefully ordinary - at least, that's what she wants the world to see. But buried beneath her skin is the blood of Epiales, the forgotten god of nightmares - a lineage her family has spent generations denying. When she dreams, the world listens. When she feels, shadows move. And when she loves, something ancient awakens. Her quiet life in the underworld of Somerset, Kentucky shatters the night Elias Ward walks through the door - a storm-drenched hunter cursed by the same god who sired her bloodline. He's spent years dreaming of her face, her voice, her scent of smoke and rain... without knowing she was real. Now he's found her, and the curse that binds them both begins to stir. Their attraction is immediate, magnetic - and wrong. Every touch feeds the god sleeping in her veins. Every kiss blurs the line between dream and waking, pleasure and ruin. The closer they draw to each other, the more the world around them begins to twist - as Epiales himself stirs in the dark, ready to reclaim what he lost. As desire becomes obsession and dreams bleed into reality, Silasine and Elias must decide whether their love is salvation... or the end of everything. In Wolf's Den: Dream Chaser, nothing stays buried - not gods, not curses, and not the kind of longing that can bring the dead to life.
Whisper of Destiny
In a world where supernatural bloodlines shape fate, Amiriah has always been an enigma. Rescued from a brutal asylum where scientists sought to strip supernatural creatures of their power, she grew up among werewolves, but her true heritage remains a mystery, even to herself. Now at twenty, Amiriah's life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Kairos, the feared Dark Prince, cursed to never find his soulmate. Yet, against all odds, the curse shatters in her presence. Drawn to her in ways he cannot explain, Kairos keeps the truth hidden, unsure of how to tell her that she is not only his mate but also destined for a fate far greater than either of them imagined. Their journey takes them to Valeris, the ancient vampire kingdom, where the city itself seems to awaken in Amiriah's presence. Doors unlock at her touch, spirits whisper her name, and long-sealed places reveal themselves to her alone. As ancient forces stir, the city's Elders watch her closely; some see her as a threat, and others see her as a fulfilled prophecy. But beneath the intrigue of Valeris, a far darker danger lurks. The spirit of the scientist who once tormented Amiriah is rising, seeking to return to the physical world, and he sees her as the key to his revival. With war looming between supernatural factions, hidden prophecies unraveling, and a love that defies fate, Amiriah must uncover the truth of her past and embrace the power within her before it's too late.

Blood Moon Rising
In a world where the memory of a brutal war between vampires and other supernatural beings has faded into legend, a new threat emerges from the shadows. Over 500 years have passed since the vampires' bid for domination was thwarted, but now whispers of their return spread fear among those who remember the bloodshed. Artemis, a determined and courageous young werewolf, senses the looming danger. As the leader of her pack, she is committed to protecting her kin and preserving the secrecy of the supernatural world. However, her task is far from easy. The other werewolf packs, having enjoyed centuries of peace, are skeptical of the vampire threat and dismiss Artemis's warnings as mere paranoia. Despite her earnest efforts, Artemis faces skepticism and disbelief from other werewolves, who refuse to believe that the vampires are regrouping for a renewed assault. As tensions rise and time runs short, Artemis must navigate political strife, ancient rivalries, and the haunting memories of past wars to unite the supernatural community against a common enemy. Her journey is fraught with danger, as she faces not only the cunning and ruthless vampires but also the reluctance and infighting within her own kind. Artemis's resolve is tested as she balances her desire to protect her pack, maintain the secrecy of their world, and prevent the return of the Dark Ages. In a race against time, Artemis's leadership, bravery, and determination will be crucial in uniting the supernatural community against the vampire threat and safeguarding both their world and the unsuspecting human race.
