She was sin on two legs, and he wanted to drown in her wickedness.

The moment Damon Barese lays his gaze on Zaylah Wence, he knew he’d
move heaven and hell to have her. A beautiful siren singing in a sleezy jazz
club owned by one of his enemies. She’s given to him as a peace
offering, but the more time he spends with her, the more he wants to unravel
all her secrets.

A hint of cruelty lay in his gaze.

Zaylah was trapped, a prisoner in a gilded cage as she sang every night for
a man who holds her sister captive. She’s given to Damon, to learn his
secrets, but if she crosses the mafia king no one would ever find her body.
She walks a tightrope between the man she’s becoming enamored with and
the man who controls her.

Could there ever be a happy ever after for the mafia king and his
siren?

About the Author

I began reading my mom’s Harlequin Presents in the fifth grade, and
from the first story I knew I wanted to write romance novels. Love is the
most powerful emtion we can experience, and I adore happy ever afters. I
write about the very ordinary woman thrust into an extraordinary
circumstance, so my heroines will probably never be lawyers, doctors or
corporate highrollers.  I try to write characters who aren’t cookie
cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea
how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I strive to write
complex characters  full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find
redemption through love.

Cursed with the ability to see the shadow of death, Leia hides from the
world and stays far away from people. Until the night she comes face to face
with Brimstone Jandreau.

Brim is the president of the Death Riders MC, but he went nomad in an
effort to heal from grief. The moment he spots Leia, he is drawn toward her.
When she warns him of his impending death, he’s not sure if he
believes her, but decides to take precautions.

He finds the would-be assassin. Then discovers it’s one of his own
men.

Hit hard from the betrayal, he takes Leia with him back to his world. The
more time they spend together, the deeper their bond grows. But death is
waiting for Brim, and Leia will do anything to protect the man she’s
fallen in love with.

“I hope my mother hasn’t been too stressful,” he said, nudging her knee with his own.

            “Nah, she’s been enlightening.”

            “Uh oh. What does that mean?”

            “Wouldn’t you like to know?” she asked with a smirk.

            “Don’t tell me she told you about what happened on my sixteenth birthday.”

            “No, she hadn’t, but now that you have, tell me everything.” Leia rested her chin in her palm as she stared at him, waiting.

            Brim slinked down to mimic her pose, but his big frame only looked ridiculous. “Not on your life.”
            “That embarrassing?”
            “That’s for me to know and for you to never find out.”

            She narrowed her eyes. “That makes me want to know all the more.”

            He smirked. “Good luck.”

            They stared at one another, a challenge on each of their faces. Slowly, Leia stood up and while still holding his gaze called out.

            “Oh, Marth-”

            Quicker than she could finish, Brim jumped up, grabbed her hand, and tugged her away from the bonfire.

            “Nope,” he said. “Come on.”

            She laughed as he led her away from the revelry,

            “Shouldn’t we stay?” Leia asked, pointing back toward the gathering.

            “I want to show you something.” He led her further away, toward the line of trees. As they got farther from the fire, darkness gathered around them.

            Leia blinked a few times to readjust her sight. Soon, they were all alone. “Should I be nervous?”

            “Nah, you’re going to love this.”

            Finally, they came to a clearing in the trees, and he pointed up. Leia tilted her head and saw a vast ocean of stars set against the inky black of space.

            “Oh, wow,” she breathed, captivated. “It’s beautiful.”

            “I thought you’d love it.”

Love Story for a Snow Princess Blitz

 

Love Story for a Snow Princess cover

 

Love Story Trilogy

 

Romance, Contemporary Romance

 

Date Published: 8/6/2021

When Panthea Snow loses her family in a horrific car crash, she needs something to keep her going. She decides to replace one family with another and signs up as a mail order bride to a man living in the far north in Alaska. When she arrives, however, she realizes she can’t go through with it but is stuck in River Ice, Alaska until the snow melts in a few weeks.

She meets Paden Winters and is drawn to him despite his moodiness and ill temper. As she gets to know him, she realizes they are both dealing with issues of healing and concealing pain. Only Paden deals with it by cutting himself for sexual satisfaction.

Can a woman who has an abnormal fear of blood and a man who cuts himself ever find happiness? Or are some pains too deep to overcome?

Excerpt

And then déjà vu happened. The door opened, a gust of cold wind came in, and all of Thea’s nerves came instantly alive. She knew, without turning around, that the man from the night before had just walked in.

I’ll be right there, Paden,” Miki called out.

Paden. His name is Paden.

You gonna be back tomorrow to keep me company?” Miki asked her, jolting her back to her senses.

I’d love to. How much do I owe you for lunch and the pot of coffee, Miki?”

Miki waved the offer away. “It was nice to have a girl in here to talk to.”

Then thank you.”

My pleasure.”

Thea hopped off the bar stool. “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, but I will insist on paying.”

Very well. If you hold on for a minute, let me take care of Paden and then I’ll walk you to the hotel,” she said as she wiped her hands on a towel and poured a cup of black coffee.

You don’t have to escort me,” Thea protested. “It’s not that far.”

Yeah, but it’s dark and there’s a storm starting. Just wait.”

She tapped Thea’s hand before walking to the back corner where the man, Paden, sat. She watched as Miki sat the mug of coffee before him and then nodded as he gave his order. Though his face was turned toward Miki, those grass green eyes stayed focused on Thea.

Hello,” she said turning toward him after Miki had walked into the kitchen.

Hello,” he answered, though his tone wasn’t engaging.

He eyed her up and down, pausing on her hair and her Ugg boots. A mocking sort of smile twisted his lips, and he took a drink of his coffee.

You don’t like my boots?”

Let me guess. You saw the word boot and thought it seemed appropriate for minus thirty degree weather.”

It’s not that cold out,” she protested, stung by his disdain.

It will be. Didn’t you read your Alaskan Frommers Guide, Princess?” he taunted.

Thea frowned at his derision, wondering why such a handsome man was so rude. She decided she didn’t like him. He made her extremely uncomfortable. He simply stared at her, making her nervous for some reason, so she jumped off her seat and headed for the door. She grabbed her coat, hurrying out of the diner and into the icy wind. She struggled to put on her coat, scarf, and hat before she froze. Unused to such frigid wind, Thea came to realize how quickly hypothermia could settle in.

You little fool,” came a harsh voice. Gloved hands came out of nowhere to bundle her up. “You can freeze to death in minutes out here!”

Thea’s teeth were chattering too much for her to say anything. She looked up through her lashes at Paden, very aware that the strange reaction she’d had while looking at him in the diner hadn’t dissipated with the cold.

Come on,” he growled and took her arm.

My Tether paperback

 

Excerpt

 

I’ve seen many people die. Friends, family. My husband. Tried to help them, but … it was painful not being able to ease their suffering. And when you’re hungry, well, scavenging isn’t just for rodents.”

Good point,” he grunted as he stood up. “I have to take a leak if you want to point me to the bathroom.”

Oh, um, sure,” she mumbled, embarrassed.

She helped him off the bed, keenly aware that he stood naked. He glanced down at himself.

Got something for me to put on?”

Oh, yes,” she squeaked, then cleared her throat. “In the bedroom is a closet full of men’s clothes.”

He nodded and, holding his bandaged side, headed off to the bathroom. She couldn’t help but watch as he slowly walked away. Much to her shock, he didn’t close the door and a moment later, she heard him urinating. Her inner voice told her to stop looking, but she couldn’t seem to take her gaze off his muscular behind, as well as the tattoos on his back. So many colors and designs, and she had to admit, he fascinated her in a very improper way.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes to break her fascination. She had to keep reminding herself who she was and who he was, and that he wasn’t going to be around for very long.

You okay?”

His question jolted her and she opened her eyes to have his muscular chest up close and personal. Her heartrate skyrocketed. As her gaze traveled upward, tracing over every inch of tattooed skin, she determined there was something very interesting about Jesse Krider. Something that made her skin prickle with awareness and her tummy do a funny little flip-flop.

I found some sweatpants to wear,” he said.

She swallowed thickly, not daring to look down, even though she very much wanted to do that. A shred of propriety still lingered in her conscience.

That’s, um, fine.”

He took a step closer. On one hand that relieved her of the pressure urging her to look down. However, it now brought him close enough that she could reach out and touch his skin if she was so inclined. And she was fast learning that she felt so inclined to do this that she had to curl her fingers into a fist to prevent them from having a mind of their own.

He’s taken in by Juliet Fox, a beautiful woman trying to be a positive

Juliet again?

Excerpt

              “Hey you,” a soft voice commanded.  “Open your eyes please”

He tried to obey, struggling to push past the lingering darkness that clung to him like a second skin.  God, he felt horrible.

“That’s it,” she soothed.  “Open your eyes.  Look at me.”
Finally, he managed to raise his eyelids.  An angel leaned over him, staring into his eyes.  She smiled at him so he smiled back.  He had always thought it would be demons that would come collect him when he died so it amazed him that heaven was calling.

“Ah, a set of beautiful baby blues,” she murmured, stroking his cheek.  “Hello, handsome.”

He opened his mouth to say something but the words wouldn’t come.  His tongue felt swollen, dry.  He forced himself to swallow to try to get some saliva flowing.  

“W-what happened?”

She cocked her head.  “Bad hooch I’m thinking.  Gotta be careful of certain juice joints.  Come,” she said, holding out her hand.  “Let’s get you sitting upright.”

He hadn’t realized he’d been lying down but as she helped him up, he realized the halo around her head had been nothing more but the flickering of a street light accentuating the midnight hue of her hair.  When he was vertical once more, he finally saw all of the woman’s features.  Short bobbed hair held back by a headband made of crystal beads while dark eyes watched him from under thin, perfectly arched eyebrows.  Her lips were a cupid’s bow, painted a deep red.  Her skin a flawless pale shade that contrasted sharply with her heavily made up eyes.

“Like what you see?” she asked.

He blinked.  “I always like my fans.  Where am I?”

One of those thin eyebrows arched.  “That hooch must’ve really made you balled up.  You’re off Hollywood Boulevard, of course, belly up in an alley.”

He looked around, completely baffled.  How the hell did he get here?  Where was the stage?  The screaming fans?  Kieron, Van and Tony?

“Do you have a name, handsome?”

“Yeah, sorry.  I’m Dicen Burke.”

He waited.  He waited for the name to sink in, for her eyes to widen, for her to begin batting her eyes in an attempt to flirt her way into his bed.

“Juliet,” she said.  “Juliet Fox.  I was looking for my brother, Thayer, and figured I’d find him upchucking out here and instead I find a keen big six.  Say, you’re no drugstore cowboy are you?”

“Excuse me?”  Her lack of a response to his name, along with slang he didn’t understand, threw him.

“You know, a guy that hangs around street corners looking to pick up ladies.  Just so we’re clear on the matter, I ain’t that kind of girl,” she informed him, the smile on her face lessening the harshness of her tone.  “Have you seen another man out here, by chance, throwing up?”

She confused him.  He shook his head and then wished he hadn’t when it throbbed.  “God, I need an aspirin.”
