Excerpt: Suddenly, Hunter was walking towards me and I was scurrying backwards. I moved out of the way of the table and stumbled into a tree, my back pressed against the trunk as I tried to avoid Hunter’s advances. His face was predatory, like I was the prey and he was stalking me. He put his hand flat against the tree beside my head and leaned against his, his body just barely off of mine. “Why can’t you call me Hunter?” His breath blew across my face, his face just inches from mine. “I….I….” I honestly didn’t know anymore. “Haven’t I proven to you that this town is different? That no one cares if you’re around me? I’ve been around you everyday for a month and no rumors have started, have they?” His eyes dared me to argue. “No…but….” “But what?” One of his perfectly arched eyebrows rose in question. “We aren’t….” “Aren’t what?” He interrupted me again. “Aren’t the same.” I blurted out. “Aren’t we?” His voice was so smooth and sexy, my head was fuzzy and I felt dizzy. “No.” “How would you know? You don't know me, do you?” He asked. “You don’t know me.” I said in reply. “Oh, but I do know you Maizey, you’re my little red.” His eyes looked over my body possessively, “You are mine.” He nearly growled. “I am no ones.” I tried to argue but my voice was weak. “You belong to me.” He said sternly, his free hand gripping my waist aggressively. “Why?” I could tell my question caught him off guard. “Why what, baby?” He asked. I chose to ignore the word that was supposed to stir a reaction from me. “Why do you want me?” I challenged him. “Because you were made for me.” He shrugged like it was the most obvious answer in the world.

#10 Royal Twins of La Lune
Reads
Twenty years after Luna Junie and Alpha Caspian Storm take over the throne of the werewolf realm, their children are now the twin Alpha Kings. Sebastian and Alexander Storm always knew they would share the throne and, not only that, a Luna Queen, one day but the two brothers couldn’t have been more different. Brutally honest and disconnected with emotions, Sebastian “Ian” was the owner of the Wolf’s Den, a bar started in the werewolf realm by his mother and Aunt Viv. Alexander “Alex”, on the other hand, was outgoing, kind, and scholarly. With a BA in English, he opened an antique bookstore inside the realm to pursue his love of rare and class novels. Stella “Ella” Dubois-Summers is the daughter of French-American Annette and realm warrior Ronald. She’s loud, stubborn, and definitely not afraid to speak her mind, in both French and English. She bullheaded her way through high school and, upon graduation, was desperate to flee the realm and earn a degree in English to pursue her passion for reading. That’s when everything changed. The night of the royal Mating Ball, shortly after Ella and her friends graduated high school, was one of magic and hope. Not once did Ella ever imagine that she would be mated to two of the most arrogant wolves in her school, bullies she called them, not to mention they were also the kings. How will the prideful Ian and the passionate Alex handle such an independent, wild mate who is hellbent on leaving the realm at the end of the summer? It might be time for the twin Alphas to learn some French. Book #10 of the Royal Legacy series (can be read as a stand alone). COMPLETE! Excerpt: “Welcome to the Mating Ball, gentlemen. Today will hopefully be the day that you meet your mates, your Goddess destined love, your future. Right now, you think I’m spewing nonsense and sound like a Hallmark greeting card,” Dad chuckled at his lame joke, “But, hopefully, in a few minutes, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. The ladies will be here in three minutes. Please, prepare yourselves.” He finished his speech, and found Ian and I in the crowd, offering us a wink before sitting on his throne. They instructed us all to move to one side of the ballroom, the farthest side away from the doors. We stood in a nervous cluster, bumping into each other as we swayed on our feet and chatted away like our anxieties weren’t getting the better of us. Three minutes drug by like days until a bell chimed and the double doors swung open. There were more ladies than men, that was for certain. Their heels clicked loudly on the marble flooring as they flooded into the room, their candy colored skirts sashinging back and forth with the movement of their hips. They were whispering amongst themselves as they inched into the room. Growls and snarls were heard instantly as the men sensed their mates and began throwing themselves across the room to find them. Ian and I stayed rooted in place. “Do you sense her?” Ian whispered to me and I shook my head, “Not yet.” I answered, straining my eyes to search the crowd. It didn’t take long for the more than a hundred she-wolves to fill the room, the predatorial men stalking through the crowd. Ian and I slowly joined them, circling the perimeter of the ballroom as we searched for our mate. All at once, her scent knocked me over. It was an overwhelmingly sweet scent, delicious and alluring all at once. Cupcakes, she smelt like cupcakes. I sniffed the air and saw Ian doing the same, his eyes were as dark as mine must’ve been. Our search became more frantic until we saw her. A blob of red hair bobbing up and down through the sea of werewolves. She was in the back, among the last of the women to enter the ballroom, clinging to the wall. It was clear she was uncomfortable, not wanting to dive into the hoard of people. Ian and I didn’t need words to know what each other was thinking. We practically ran through the crowd to get to her, shoving anyone and everyone out of our way. We burst through the last line of people, and there was finally clear air between us and our mate. It was then that she seemed to sense us. Her dark eyelashes blinked up towards us, her eyes narrowing and her lips remained in a steady frown. She pushed off the wall and tensed when she saw us hurrying towards her. Ian and I stopped a mere five feet from our mate. I was leaning back on my heels, primed and ready to throw myself at the feet of the gorgeous red headed wonder in front of me. She seemed to be studying us, her lips pressed together, and her eyes wandering up and down our bodies. We stood in front of her, silent and scared. At least I was scared, I’m not sure what Ian was feeling, exactly. After what felt like an eternity, she shook her head slowly, “No. No thanks.” She said and I was so lost in the sound of her voice that I didn’t even register what words she had spoken.

#11 Meet Me in the Emerald Forest
Reads
One fateful night changes the course of Clementine Reign’s life. At just 17 years old, like most teenagers, she had her life figured out. High school graduation, marry her current boyfriend, and go to college to become a writer. That all came crashing down when she came home late from a party to her parents murdered in her childhood home. Her brother, Daniel, is forced to return home from his carefree life in New York City to take guardianship of his sister for the last few months of her childhood. When her parents' murders go unsolved, Clementine changes her plans and hardens her heart. Seven years later, she’s a special agent with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, struggling to find her parents' killer. What Clem didn’t know was that the only person who could answer her questions had already left her life, determined to move on with his. Lukas Emerald was the young Alpha of the Emerald’s Woods pack in Virgina when a rogue attack led him straight to his young, human mate. The day only got worse when, on that very day, his mate’s parents were killed by those same rogues. Knowing she was only 17 and had her entire life ahead of her, Lukas walks away from his mate and vows to honor her for the rest of his life, even if she’s not in it. But, the Moon Goddess doesn’t like to be ignored. Seven years later, their lives come crashing back together. Book #11 of the Royal Legacy series (can be read as a stand alone). COMPLETE! Excerpt: Her chestnut colored curls were sprawled out around her head on the pillow and her eyes were pinched closed like she was having a nightmare or in pain. Her face was thin and narrow, coming down to a point at her defined chin and jawline. Her lips were bright red and pressed together in a thin line. I couldn’t help myself when I reached out and grazed her fair skin with the back of my hand. Her body twitched and her face suddenly relaxed. I leaned down and took a deep breath, allowing her floral scent to fill me and my heart. At that moment, my choice was clear. I pressed my lips gently to her cheek and flinched as the sparks ignited between us. My mouth moved to her ear as I whispered, “I won’t take your life away from you, Clementine. I won’t take away your future and force you to lead a pack of creatures you don’t even know exist, yet. I won’t bring you down. You’ll always be safe and cared for, I promise you that, and I will never take another mate. I will honor you for the rest of my life even if you never know my name.” I kissed the space below her ear where she would have worn my mark before pulling away. Her face was pinched again like she was thinking hard about something. I gently caressed her face until every last worry line was gone. Then, I pulled away from her bed and left her room. Mateo looked at me, confused. “She needs a protection detail for the rest of her life and I’m putting you in charge of it. She can’t ever know about them.” I ordered. Mateo’s eyes went wide, “Lukas….” “My decision is final, Mateo.” I felt my face hardened and the Alpha tone weighed heavy between us. Mateo bowed his head in submission, “Yes, Alpha.” And then I walked away from my mate’s hospital room and from her for the last time. Or so I thought.

#12 The Triplets of Emerald Forest
Reads
More than two decades after Lukas Emerald first met his mate and future Luna, Clementine Reign, came the triplet Alphas: Godric, Griffin, and Gabriel Emerald. Although identical in appearances, their personalities couldn’t have been more different. Godirc was the warrior, Gabriel the leader, and Griffin the jokester. They almost never saw eye to eye and had to establish a “majority rules” initiative in order to get anything done as the Alphas of the Emerald Forest pack. Until they met her. Their human mate, Harlow Nyx, a product of the foster system, a struggling college student, and a dancer; a pole dancer, that is. Not much bothered Harlow anymore, not after being orphaned at age two and forced to become a pole dancer in order to make ends meet. She had her friends by her side and a heart full of determination, what more did she need? Being sedated and kidnapped by three strange men certainly wasn’t part of her plan, neither was being named the daughter of a mythical creature that even her new werewolf mates didn’t think existed. Can the brothers get along long enough to comfort and win over their mate? Will Harlow be able to set aside her stubbornness and be able to accept that someone is willing to love her? And what kind of creature haunts the campfire stories of werewolves, vampires, and witches? Book #12 of the Royal Legacy series (can be read as a stand alone). COMPLETE! Excerpt: I was thinking about siding with Gabe and Griff, and just ditching this joint when the music in the club began to change. I was interested in the dancer called Honey based on the reviews Kingsley was giving her. The room seemed to be buzzing with anticipation of her arrival and that had me curious as well. My wolf, Quill, started howling and pacing in my head which immediately set me on edge. “What’s going on?” I asked him, my head on a swivel. “Mate! Mate! Mate! I can feel her, she’s here!” He howled. “What? Here?” I had a dreadful thought and my stomach started to churn. That’s when the scent of warm apple pie filled my senses. I jumped up, nearly flipping the table as I shoved it out of my way. Pushing past my brothers, I freed myself from the booth and started frantically searching. “Do you sense her, too?” Gabe asked, his eyes black and his nose in the air, “She smells like hot chocolate.” Gabe sighed. “It’s vanilla cupcakes for me. Mmmmm.” Griffin purred, his eyes going closed. “Where is she?” I snarled, struggling to keep Quill under control. “I don’t know.” Griff and Gabe replied in unison. “Please welcome to the stage, your favorite and ours, Honey!” A deep voice introduced the dancer and everyone began to cheer. It was like someone lit a match inside my chest and suddenly I was on fire. I ran towards the railing of the loft and looked down over the club. Coming out of the back, escorted by two of the bouncers, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Her long, thick blonde hair was falling down her bare back and shoulders in golden waves. From here I could see her pronounced hazel eyes which swirled between a caramel brown and a forest green. She was short but her curves were delicious. She was wearing a sparkly blue bikini that left nothing to the imagination. Her plump ass cheeks were strangling the string of her thong and her bountiful breasts were not at all contained by the triangles of fabric that made up the bikini top. I couldn’t stop the dangerous growl that ripped through my chest and neither could my brothers.

Excerpt: I easily avoided him, disarming him quickly and landing several well placed punches. A roundhouse kick landed him back on the ground. I mistakenly allowed him to get too close to the boy. Tank reached for the boy from where he was hiding under the produce counter, but he was too slow. I grabbed a fist full of his shirt and yanked him back. I looked at the boy to make sure he was okay. Something about his face distracted me. His eyes were so familiar as they locked onto mine and gazed into my soul. I knew for sure that I had never seen this boy before yesterday, but something about him called out to me. At that moment, I had lost focus, and Tank took the opportunity to stab me with his dagger. It dug into my thigh and I winced at the pain. The boy’s mouth formed a terrified O but I winked at him, smiling. I wiped around, yanking the knife from my thigh and thrusting into Tank’s gut. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and drug him towards where I had left my arrows. I reached down, my hand knowing exactly where they were despite their invisibility, and snatched up the quiver. I pulled out one arrow and plunged it into his shoulder. Stepping back, Tank dissolved away just like Zinn. I would have a lot of explaining to do back at the Base.

I lifted my head and looked around in front of me. Coming towards the steps was the tiniest woman I had ever seen. She had to be 5 feet or less, her hair wider than she was tall. It was a mop of curls the color of warm caramel, bouncing around her shoulders. Her skin was as soft and warm looking as her hair. Despite her height, her legs were long and delicious, covered in sexy black tights. Before I knew it, she was heading in my direction, her curvy hips sashaying as she walked down the steps. I couldn’t help but notice how her breasts bounced, peeking out from the deep v-neck of her shirt. Suddenly, she was falling. Her heel having caught in one of the steps, she stumbled and started falling towards me. I reached out my arms, instinctively catching her. The second her hands were on my arms, even though the fabric of my suit, I could feel the sparks. My body came to life under her touch. It felt like I had swallowed a white hot branding iron, my throat was burning and my stomach was on fire. She gasped and looked up at me through her long, dark eyelashes, revealing two warm orbs of honey. Her luscious lips parted in shock as she studied my face. Jess puffed out his chest in my mind as she watched us. She said something, but I couldn’t focus on her words, just the sound of her voice. Heat built up in my chest. Before I knew it, she was turning away from me and all I could think about was how I couldn’t let her go. I reached out and grabbed her arm. Don’t go, stay with me, is what I wanted to stay. Instead, I said, “Who are you?” She blinked at me in shock. Okay, that may have come out harsher that I intended.
