Ravaged Wolf is live!
Ravaged Wolf is now live on Amazon!
They tell the story of our mating as a warning…
Izzy
In my pack, I’m a cautionary tale, the female who made her mate wait too long and drove him into rut.
After that terrible night, Trevor was exiled, and I became a lesson to others that Fate always wins. Fight, and you’ll lose.
But maybe I don’t want my life to be a lesson to others. Or a tragedy.
Some wounds can’t be healed, but what if I tried?
Would Trevor try, too?
Or would he run again from the female who turned him into a monster?
Trevor
The night I attacked my mate destroyed me. Until then, I had believed that I was a good male.
In the end, I was an animal.
If not for Izzy—and the bond aching in my chest that tells me she’s still alive, still fighting—I would’ve given up years ago, but I can’t abandon her.
I can’t face her, either.
But then, by a twist of Fate, our paths cross, and I don’t have a choice. She’s standing in front of me, scared and shaking, but she’s not running away.
And I have no idea what to do—or how to even begin fixing the unfixable.

The Wild Wolf's Rejected Mate is available for pre-order!
The Wild Wolf's Rejected Mate will be releasing Thursday, December 26th, and it's now available for pre-order!
My mate called me weak and walked away.
Annie
I try not to think about mating the wild wolf from the Last Pack. It happened. He left. The witch sorted me out and life kept going.
I’m anxious all the time—every moment of every day—but I’m not worried about him. He hates me, and he’s not coming back. He made that perfectly clear.
I should have worried.
After all, everyone like me knows the first rule of anxiety—if you don’t worry about something, it will happen.
And the mate who left me is now trespassing on my pack’s territory, and this time, when I run, he chases.
Justus
My mate is damaged.
She’s beautiful, but she smells wrong, and she’s messed up like all the other wolves who pretend to be human.
Our mating was a disaster. I left her, but I couldn’t keep away.
And now—things have changed. I can’t keep my distance anymore, but she’s still as skittish as a rabbit.
She thinks I’m a monster, and catching her isn’t enough—
I have to figure out how to make her stay.
The Wild Wolf's Rejected Mate is the fifth novel in The Five Packs series, but it can be read as a standalone. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.

Return to Monte Carlo is live!
Return to Monte Carlo is now live in Kindle Unlimited!
A runaway wife, a surprise baby, and a dark secret.
MONTE CARLO, 1982
The odds of a man like Marco de Noli falling for a girl like me were a million to one.
He’s old money, classic European jet set, a master of the universe.
When we met, I was a shy girl from Oklahoma, pretty enough, but nowhere near his league.
One year later, after he stands me up on our first anniversary, I have to face facts. Our marriage was a mistake. My in-laws think I’m a gold digger, Marco lives at the office, and nights of passion aren’t enough. There’s nothing keeping me in Monte Carlo.
But when I run, I don’t realize that I’m taking the de Noli heir with me—
Or that our love wasn’t what I thought it was at all.
Return to Monte Carlo is a retro romance with a spicy, modern twist. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.

His Curvy Rejected Mate is live!
His Curvy Rejected Mate is live on Amazon!
He had his chance. He blew it, and I’m out of here.
Flora
I’m at the bottom of the pack. I’m female, I have no family left, and everywhere a shifter is supposed to be hard, I’m soft and round. There’s one bright spot in my days—Alec Cameron.
He’s hard in every way—so distant that he’s ice cold—but once in a while, he gives me a nod, and we sneak off to the woods. He’s not cold then. Not at all.
I used to dream that Fate would make it official, but after so many years, I’ve given up hope. Then, at a pack run, heat strikes. Alec Cameron is my mate.
In front of everyone, he turns his back on me.
I didn’t know how cold he could be, but I do now, and I’ve got a choice to make. Do I hang around and deal with this messed up pack like I always do? Or do I take my new wolf, break free, and forge a new path of our own?
Alec
This pack is falling apart. Literally. I spend my days patching together buildings that are inches from sliding down the mountain. In my free time, I have to compete with the other two males vying for Salt Mountain alpha, the world’s worst job.
I’m constantly holding everything together, and until the night of the last full moon run, there was at least one bright spot in my days.
Then Flora Ritchie goes into heat at the worst possible time and place, and in all the chaos and revelations, I lose my grip. And my temper.
In the blink of an eye, my mate is gone.
I know how to fix things, not feelings, but if I don’t figure it out, and quickly, I’m going to lose it all.
His Curvy Rejected Mate is the fourth novel in The Five Packs series, but it can be read as a standalone. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.

After one night, he walked away. He’s going to live to regret it.
Mari
Growing up alone in Quarry Pack, I always dreamed of a mate who’d sweep me off my feet and carry me away to our very own cottage that we’d fill with pups and love and laughter. A real family.
What I got?
Wham, bam, thank you ma’am.
The pack sees Darragh Ryan as a tortured hero with a dark past, protecting the pack from afar.
I know better. He’s a jerk who can’t deal with people so he’s chosen to live in the wilderness and—I don’t know—brood. One thing I do know is that he doesn’t get to reject me.
I reject him.
Darragh
Mari doesn’t understand what she doesn’t know. She’s naïve, soft, and way too young and sweet for a life of self-imposed exile.
She’s a grown female who sits in trees, reading books, and wears party dresses to garden. Everything she owns is pink. Her wolf is probably pink.
She can’t handle the real world, and she sure can’t handle my wolf. No one can.
One day, she’ll understand why I won’t claim her, and she might not thank me, but she should.
Because my wolf? Given half a chance, he’d tear her apart.

Nicky the Driver is available for pre-order!
Nicky the Driver, the next book in the Run Posy Run world, will release on September 2nd on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. It's available for pre-order now!
He can’t take his eyes off me.
I remember Nicky Biancolli from junior high. Back then, he was always staring. My cousin warned him off, and after that, he faded into the background.
Now, ten years later, he’s in my mother’s kitchen at two in the morning, and there’s a dead man in a pool of blood on the floor. Lucca Corso—the rat who killed my father—says that if I don’t marry Nicky to make peace between our families, the little brother I raised is next.
I don’t have a choice.
I have to go with the man who looks like he wants to eat me alive, and I have no idea whether this is about following orders or something much darker.
All I know is that Nicky isn’t stalking me anymore. He owns me now, and no one is going to stop him from taking what he wants.
Nicky the Driver is a dark mafia romance. It’s the second book in the Underboss Insurrection series, but it can be read as a standalone. Intended only for adult readers. HEA guaranteed.
NOTE: This story contains scenes that may be difficult for some readers. Please check the Look Inside or visit the author's website for details.

The Heir Apparent's Rejected Mate is live!
The Heir Apparent's Rejected Mate is now live in Amazon and Kindle Unlimited!
Next up in the series - Mari and Darragh's story.
He rejected me for “reasons.” Too bad for him. No take backs.
Rosie
Fate made a huge mistake when she mated me to Cadoc Collins. He’s the heir apparent. I’m a scavenger. My people are so low in this pack, we don’t even rank.
I should have known better, but for one night, I let myself forget the facts of life in Moon Lake. Cadoc Collins might be powerless to resist me, but he’s not going to claim me, either.
A pink line on a stick makes it a much bigger problem than my bruised heart.
I’m eighteen, knocked up, and publicly rejected by the future alpha. And this baby in my belly? It might as well be a target on my back.
Lucky for me I’m a scavenger. My kind are good at finding things, but we’re great at getting lost.
Cadoc
The fate of Moon Lake rests on my shoulders. I can’t claim the scavenger female.
The pack is on the verge of a revolt, and a mating so controversial could push our warring factions into open conflict.
All I need is time. I’ll do what’s expected of me as our future leader, and when the politics are sorted, I’ll do right by the odd little scavenger.
I’m the heir apparent. She’ll be there when I’m ready.
Right?
