Mated to the Monster

After my mate rejected me, I wanted to kill him. Instead, I ran away--which nearly killed me... A year ago, everything was different. I had just left my home, joining the infamous Mountainside Pack. The daughter of an omega wolf, I've always been prized--but not as prized as I would be if my new packmates found out my secret. But when my fated mate--Mountainside's Alpha--rejected me in front of his whole pack council and my secret got out, I realized I had one choice. Going lone wolf was the only option I had, and I took it. Now I live in Muncie, hiding in plain sight. If the wolves ever left the mountains surrounding the city, I'd be in big trouble. Good thing that the truce between the vampires and my people is shaky at best and Muncie? It's total vamp territory. Thanks to my new vamp roomie, I get a pass, and I try to forget all about the call of the wolf. It's tough, though. I... I just can't forget my embarrassment--and my anger--from that night. And then he shows up and my chance at forgetting flies out the damn window. Ryker Wolfson. He was supposed to be my fated mate, but he chose his pack over our bond. At least, he did--but now that he knows what I've been hiding, he wants me back. But doesn't he remember? I told him I'll never be his mate, and there isn't a single thing he can do to change my mind. To Ryker, that sounds like a challenge. And if there's one thing I know about wolf shifters, it's that they can never resist a challenge. Just like I'm finding it more difficult than I should to resist him. ** Never His Mate is a new release (65,000+ words) featuring Gemma Swann, a wolf shifter who is hiding a damning secret. When her fated mate rejects her for another female, her anger and her embarrassment lead to that secret getting out. Since staying behind on the mountains is just not an option and going back to her home pack is impossible, Gem decides she has one choice: risk death by fang in Muncie, the vamp town surrounding the mountains. Luckily for her, she not only manages to survive the local vamps, but she makes friends with one. Things are looking up for her: she has a place with her roommate, a new job she loves, and the certainty that she'll never have to look at Ryker Wolfson's handsome face ever again. Until he stalks into Muncie and, suddenly, Gem is confronted by his rejection all over again. So what if he says he had a good reason? If he thinks she's going to take him back now, he has another think coming. Because Gem? She'll never be his mate...

Halloween Boo

I've always known that Ryker is my fated mate. What I didn't know? Was that he's always known he's mine... Ryker Wolfson. Strong. Sexy. Powerful. Irresistible. For as long as I can remember, I've been waiting for the Luna Ceremony that would make him my bonded mate. Though it's not supposed to be possible, I've known since I was a kid that the future Alpha of the Mountainside Pack was fated to be mine. I figured my knowing had something to do with me being a rarity: a born female alpha. Turns out that I'm half right. It's not the female part, but an alpha thing. Because Ryker? For the last eleven years, he's known exactly who I am to him. Worse? The rejection that had me hiding out this past year was as planned as everything else he has his claws in. Ryker might've thought he was protecting me, but all he did was push me away--all because he forgot for a moment what I am. Omega Gem is history. Long live the Alpha of Muncie. Only I'm in a bit of trouble these days. He might've spent years keeping my secret for me, but it's out now. An unforeseen betrayal in his pack has Ryker reeling, and me walking around with a big ol' target on my back. As if dealing with my infatuated roommate wasn't bad enough. Now I have a powerful wolf chasing after me, desperate to claim me during the next full moon. Not to mention the summons from my birth pack--and my old life. My sperm donor has discovered just how valuable I am, and since I've been "rejected" by Ryker, he wants me to go home for the first time since I was a pup. Yeah? Well, I want him to drop dead. And while I'm used to getting out of tougher scrapes than these, I'm beginning to see that--once again--I'm left with basically one option, and it isn't running away. It's Ryker. Maybe it's time that I accept that he's always been my mate... ** Always Her Mate is the second novel in the Claws and Fangs series. In a case of "better the devil you know", Gem realizes that Ryker is her best chance at avoiding being forced into a mating she doesn't want. It's tough, though. Because while she's always wanted him, her pride still can't get over his rejection...

Always Her Mate

I really should've known better than to play around with that old book of spells... How was I supposed to know that the incantations scrawled inside of it worked? That the first one I read would open a portal into a demon plane - or that the next one was an unbreakable vow to the seven foot tall shadow monster I unwittingly summoned into my bedroom? He says his name is Malphas, that he's something called a Sombra demon, and I'm his mate. Monster, demon... whatever he is, his muscles are bigger than my head, and that club between his legs... I don't know if mate means the same thing to him as it does me, but he's gotta be kidding. Spoiler alert: he's not. Mal has been waiting for more than a thousand years for the one woman meant for him. He's convinced that's me, and he's willing to do anything to prove it. And maybe there's something really wrong with me because, before long, I find myself eager to let him try... * Mated to the Monster is the first in a monster romance series about the Sombra demons, a race of shadow-based monsters who will do anything to claim their females. Mal and Shannon might come from different worlds, but when it comes to fate, lust, and forever... they might just be a perfect match.

Stolen by the Shadows

The Feral's Captive

I didn't mean to steal the book-but I did... and now I'm in big, big trouble. The moment I convinced one of my loyal customers to buy the leather-bound spellbook, I regretted it. At first I thought it was because I could've gotten more than fifty dollars for it-money that would've come in handy while I was on vacay-but while I was on the beach, all I kept thinking about was the book. It called to me for some weird reason, and when I got Shannon's message that she had a question about it, I hoped that meant she would let me buy it back. Nope. She wanted to know where I got it from. Too bad I had no idea. Almost as if by fate, it popped up in one of my boxes of stock, but I couldn't trace it. Believe me, I tried. So when Shannon offered to drop it off so that I could get a closer look at it, I jumped at the chance. And that's how I found the "true love" spell in the middle of the book. I don't know what made me decide it was a good idea to read it out loud, or what came over me when the beastly shadow monster appeared in my bedroom and crooked his claw at me... One thing led to another and, suddenly, I'm the bonded mate to a horned demon who doesn't speak English, who stole me away to a terrifying world of shadows and skulls, and who I can't stop touching even so. When I finally understand him, there's only one thing my new mate wants to make sure is clear: I'm his. He has no intention of letting me go, either in Sombra or my world. And it isn't long before I start to wonder if it would really be so bad to be forever bonded to the beast... especially when I discover just what mating during the gold moon in Sombra leads to.

Bonded to the Beast

What if your imaginary friend was real? Then again, Nox was never as imaginary as he was supposed to be, and while I thought of him as my friend, he watched over me because he knew we were meant to be more than that. He knew that we were fated. Me? I had no freaking clue, but that made sense. The last time I saw him I was twelve. He was a shadow monster that kept me safe. But, like all imaginary friends, he was just gone one day. And, as I grew up, I forgot all about Nox. He never forgot about me. Fourteen years later and he's still as much a protector as he always was. When I'm stalked by an ex who just can't accept that we're over, Connor isn't the only one who likes to hide in the shadows. Too bad for him that Nox is the shadows. He's changed, though. My old imaginary friend is wrapped in golden chains, his shape unlike any he ever showed me before. He's big, and he's fierce, and he saves me from Connor only to take me for himself. And I... I'm kind of okay with that. *Stolen by the Shadows is the second book in the Sombra Demons series. It tells the story of Amy and Nox, the bonded couple introduced in Mated to the Monster.

Never Say Never

Trick or Beast

This Christmas

Sometimes fate gets it wrong. When the Luna announced that I was fated to be the mate of the Western Pack's Alpha, Jack "Wicked Wolf" Walker, I knew that I would never survive him. I'm an omega. Gentle by nature, all of my packmates thought I could temper his cruelty--but they were way wrong. As it is, it's all I can do to avoid being marked by him and tied to him for life. Luckily, my brute of a mate has a taste for females, and fully bonding me to him means that he won't get to hop from cabin to cabin while I pretend like I'm happy to be called his. For three years, I walked a thin line between being Jack's plaything and his bonded mate. When I gave birth to his pup, I thought he might change, but I did the one thing that he considered unthinkable: I gave him a daughter. Worse, I gave him the first female alpha since the Luna herself. Not that he knows that. I manage to hide her true nature, passing her off as an omega just like me--until Jack discovers the truth, and I'm left with no choice but to leave. I know he'll come after us. My mate is psychotic, he's vicious, and he's cruel. He thinks he owns me, and he'll kill my daughter if he can get his claws on her. And while I may be an omega, I'm also a wolf. I'll protect her, no matter what, and when I pass into the territory of a neighboring pack, I attack the first wolf I see. Who just so happens to be the Alpha of the Lakeview Pack... ** Leave Janelle is a prequel novella (35,000+ words) that is set approximately twenty-five years before the events of Never His Mate, and it's the story of Gemma's mother. Janelle Walker feels like she's been cursed by the moon. An omega wolf, she is the fated mate of the infamous and cruel Jack "Wicked Wolf" Walker, the most powerful Alpha in the West. Rejected and cast aside when she bears him an omega pup, she decides it's time to take her own fate into her hands, Luna be damned--especially since her daughter has a secret. One that the Wicked Wolf will kill to discover, and the gentle omega Janelle will kill to protect. This prequel is fully designed for adult readers. Trigger warnings include: domestic violence, mentions of sexual assault, harsh language, and murder (it's brought up, but occurs off-page).

Leave Janelle

The infamous matchmaker meets his match! Cole I'm a cupid. See the little 'c'? It means that being a cupid is just my job, a way to earn a paycheck instead of riding a desk nine to five like every other guy. The benefits are great: I make my own schedule so long as I hit my quota, the company provides the magic arrow and my very own wings, and I get to watch people fall in love all the time. It's awesome. Okay, so maybe the gig has made me a little sappy. I can't help it. It's one of the dangers of being a cupid. That, and you start hoping that maybe there's a perfect match for you out there somewhere. I'll never know, of course. Because that's the one thing you give up when you take on the magic--a cupid arrow isn't made to work on us. We make the matches, but we're never in any of them. All that changes on New Year's Eve. I had just finished up my last match of the year when this woman appears out of nowhere and I accidentally poke myself with one of my own arrows. It disappears, even though it isn't supposed to, and I'm so surprised that I try to take off. And that's when I realize that I lost my wings. Sheila The night I see him running away from my cousin's backyard, I think he's a prowler. Or maybe a perv. I never expect he would turn out to be Cupid! And, okay, maybe I shouldn't have followed him. He could've been some kind of a whack job--at first, I kind of already peg him as one--but I chase after him because why not? I have my Mace in one hand, my car keys in the other, and I figure I can take him. At the very least, I can warn him about sneaking peeks in my cousin's window. I find him down the block, staring at his empty hands and awkwardly trying to flap away. He looks so horrified, I don't have the heart to Mace him for being a creep. That's when he drops the bomb. He tells me that he's Cupid and I actually believe him. I mean, it's crazy and he's probably laughing at how gullible I am, but I want to believe. After seeing how fast my cousin found love again, I love the idea that there's Cupid out there making love matches. Except this one's kind of broken. Somehow, while I was chasing after him, he pricked himself with one of his arrows and now he's lost all of his Cupid mojo. So now we're on a journey from Salem to Philly in the hopes that I can help Cole get his wings back. He can't fly, and I have a car, so why not? He's made it very clear that Cupid makes people fall in love with his magic arrows, but he's immune. He literally can't love anyone else while on the job. Only one problem. He might not be able to fall in love. Me? I'm already halfway there. I'm With Cupid is the fourth novella in the Holiday Hunk series. A funny and sweet road trip/paranormal romance with a Cupid who can't love, a woman with a love of life, and a trip that neither one of them will ever forget. A Sarah Spade HEA guaranteed!
