Veronica Blade

Two high-school girls discover the truth behind the local witch covens while also navigating school life and first love.

Something Witchy This Way Comes

A Cinderella who spends her nights as a wolf. A prince with a taste for blood. Seventeen year old Cydney struggles against her werewolf nature, trying to keep everyone around her safe. No way will she risk exposing the beast at the prince's ball, no matter how her two cousins try to persuade her. As she attempts to carve out some semblance of a life, Cydney can't forget the boy she loved three summers ago - or what she did to him after losing control. Turned into a vampire to save his life, the prince refuses to live up to his royal duties. He just wants to find the girl he loved and lost...the werewolf girl who bit him. But his father, the king, commands him to attend a ball where he must choose a wife. Can he find his Cinderella before he's forced to marry another? He doesn't even have her real name, much less a glass slipper. EXCERPTIf I'd known it could be like this and that she'd wanted it too, I would've kissed her ages ago. I mentally kicked myself for wasting all those weeks when we could've been doing this the entire time. Her hand crept up under my shirt and her fingers trailed along my back. Goosebumps danced on my skin. She pressed closer against me and I took the kiss deeper, letting loose my weeks of pent up craving for her. I didn't think life could get any more perfect than being with Cindy. And I no longer yearned for a normal life. I wanted things to stay exactly as they were at that moment. With my Cinderella. Forever. A soft moan erupted from my throat when she angled her face to take the kiss still deeper. I slid my arms around her waist and the tips of my fingers inched up underneath her tank top. She shivered. But it wasn't a usual shiver. Her whole body began to tremble and I nearly lost my hold on her. I pulled back. Cindy's eyes grew huge and her pupils dilated. She threw her head back, her limbs vibrating as she growled. No, not a growl. It was more like a dull roar, full of pain and anguish. Was she... was my Cindy about to turn into a werewolf? Or was it something else? Maybe if I held her again, whatever was happening to her might stop. I lunged for her. "Get away from me " Sobbing, she shoved me back, but in the process, one of her claws raked across my chest. I flinched, as blood beaded on my skin. A little scratch wasn't going to stop me though. Not when Cindy needed my help. I stepped forward again. Her lips curled up, exposing long, growing teeth and she shrieked. Yeah, she'd hit werewolf maturity all right. But she hadn't completely morphed. Just her teeth and nails. Maybe if I calmed her, she could prevent it from progressing. I wrapped my arms around her waist, as I'd done just moments ago, and pulled her close. She shrieked again, then searing pain shot through my arm. Werewolf bite. Oh, crap. My dad was going to kill me... unless the werewolf virus beat him to it. The forest spun around me and I couldn't keep my eyelids up. My muscles went lax and when the ground rose to slam against me, I didn't feel a thing. PRAISE FOR VERONICA BLADE'S OTHER WORK: madmoosemama.blogspot.com: "The dialogue and emotions are real and raw, there are some expletives and sexual fantasy scenes but I felt they worked with the characters and gave them more of an edge to their creation. Oftentimes the author used comedic wit to the scenes giving it an even more humanistic appeal to the characters." agrippinalegit.com: "I have a feeling that Hayden is going to end up with a lot of fans, and if you're the type of person who tends to fall for the bad boys with hearts of gold, you should probably brace yourself for a new literary crush before picking up Something Witchy This Way Comes "

A Furry Fable

A Bite's Tale

"This book was so much fun, I didn't want it to end." -- Susan Hatler, International Bestselling Author everythingtodowithbooks.blogspot.com said "It is far too addictive. I stayed up until 3 in the morning just to finish it because it had some kind of addictive quality that compelled me to continue reading until the very end!" http: //freak-ya-tastic.blogspot.com said "In fact, I was so caught in this novel that I read it in a couple of hours. How can I resist to a fresh, light, cute and kind of hot read? It's just impossible." chapter-by-chapter.com said, "With the perfect body and the sexiest personality, he is my official fictional celebrity boyfriend (and the first)... An amazing quick read that I won't soon forget." PRODUCT DESCRIPTION When good-girl Maddie switches places with her famous bad-girl twin Jackie, she has some pretty high stilettos to fill. Despite the danger of tabloid drama if their identity swap is discovered, Maddie has to save her sister's butt. When Jackie's ex-boyfriend shows up with a rekindled spark for "Jackie," his deep gray eyes and sweet kisses make Maddie's heart thumpety thump. But dating the guy who dumped her sister is a no-no. Too bad Dallas isn't used to girls saying no. What will happen when he discovers Maddie's deception? EXCERPT OF FROM FAME TO SHAME "And what are your plans later tonight?" Dallas reached up to rub a lock of my hair between his thumb and finger. "Plans?" My mouth went dry. He stood way too close and my concentration slipped. "You always have plans." His eyes caressed my face. "Not tonight." Somewhere deep in my soul, I knew that was the wrong answer. It opened the door to a date with him, which would lead straight to trouble. But when your brain stops working, telling the truth is so much easier. "A friend told me that Josh Adams is jamming at Hanks Blues tonight. It's supposed to be a surprise. Should be fun." I nodded, since it was all I was capable of at the moment. "We'll have dinner there. I'll pick you up at six." Preventing Dallas from making another date with me would've been smart. The words hovered in my throat, but I couldn't force them out. Even if I didn't reject his offer, I needed to say something. Or, at the very least, finish cleaning up after breakfast. And yet, I couldn't move. I just stared into his eyes as they fixed on mine. His gaze fell to my mouth, then he reached both hands up to cup my face and, inch by inch, brought his mouth to mine. Our lips touched, feather-light. He shifted his body and brought his thighs against mine, but he didn't deepen the kiss. He just skimmed the surface, gently teasing my mouth until my nerve endings hummed. Seconds stretched and my lungs stilled as I ached for more. Then, slowly, he withdrew, keeping close enough that I still felt his warm breath against my skin. I couldn't catch my breath. A thick haze clouded my brain and I worried he might ask me something, anything, that required a response and I'd slip up. Fear that I'd blow it for Jackie paralyzed me. Oh, my God! Jackie! If she knew I'd just kissed the guy who dumped her, she'd be hurt and feel betrayed. Jackie didn't need that, on top of everything else. "I..." I had no idea what to say. I only knew that if someone didn't say something soon and break the trance, I would betray Jackie worse than I already had. Because, more than anything, I wanted this guy, no matter how nice he was.
