Hard Landing - Book 2
Caden, the son of a prime alpha wolf, wants the tiger who saved his life to take him up on his offer.
Caden: My father, the alpha of our pack, was murdered, only I'm not alpha material no matter what my family thinks. Half Moon Territory gave me and the vulnerable members of my old pack a home, so now I spend my time working on cars and lusting after the most beautiful tiger who ever walked the coastline. Rav could have abandoned me, but instead he made sure I got the medical help I needed, even when depression kicked me in the gut.
Only Rav has turned into a bull headed hermit who wants nothing to do with me. He let it slip it's because I'm a wolf, but I'm not buying that. He may have his secrets, but my wolf and I intend to claim him, no matter how many times he pushes me away.
Rav wants to tend his orchard in peace and forget about the wolves who haunt his dreams, especially the hot one who won't stop stalking him.
Rav: Caden is going to be the death of me. My tiger has already set his part of our heart on Caden's wolf, no matter how many times I explain that wolves and tigers will never fit together. Not after what was done to me and my clan. Or after what I did in return.
My clan's businesses are strong, our secrets have held, and no one in Half Moon needs to know about our past. If only the stubborn wolf wouldn't keep showing up, nudging his way into my life, getting under my skin in every way but the way my body really desires.
I tell myself wolves can't be trusted, but day by day, Caden weakens my resolve. If I tell him the truth he'll run and the bits of hope I've managed to gather will shatter. I'm not sure I'd survive, so it's better to stay strong.

Falling Hard - Book 3
Ramon, a lynx shifter with a reputation as a player, is certain Haven is The One, but Haven, a bengal tiger shifter, is determined to go on a trek through the Sierra to meet with various clans and packs and hopefully find his true mate. His home in Half Moon territory doesn't hold the same appeal and the perfect male from his dreams is calling his name. He's out there somewhere...
When Haven leaves, Ramon, a male who's never spent time in the mountains, decides to follow. His sisters try to talk him out of it, but Ramon's mind is made up. How tough can camping in the high country be? He's bringing every piece of equipment he can think of as well as lots of snacks. Haven will probably take one look at his sacrifice and throw himself into Ramon's arms.
But when Haven discovers the unwelcome visitor, fur flies.

SANTA CRUZ VAMPIRES - M/M PARANORMAL ROMANCE
BANISHED BY BLOOD - BOOK 1 - Ezra and Asher's story
Ezra thinks his job sucks eggs.
My team of former angels - now vampires - won't make an effort to get along or follow orders. Kaziel, our master, is a jerk who rarely takes any interest in the nest's progress or lack thereof. Michael, my former archangel, refuses to hear my petition to return to The Realm of Light so I can plead my case. I should never have been banished and sent to Earth.
To top things off, I've been told another new recruit is about to get kicked through the portal. As usual, I'm the one who'll have to mentor the newbie and see him through the difficult transition to vampire. This one's a healer from Raphael's legion. Ha! I wish him luck. This thrown-together bunch can't even agree on the time.
Asher is excited to take a temporary journey to the mortal realm.
I've healed angels from all four legions, becoming one of Raphael’s top healers. Now there’s a job for me on Earth in the town of Santa Cruz, part of the new territory of Costa Larga. I haven’t been given any information as to what I’ll be doing, but that’s never hindered me before.
Ezekiel, Michael's third in command, is one of the six angels I’ll be working with. A male I've admired since I first came through the aether and grew my wings. This explains why he’s been out of sight for five years. He too must have been assigned a job on Earth.
A clerk from Uriel’s legion shoves me toward an open door. Michael's second in command greets me holding a bloody sword. I clutch the small bag of favorite possessions closely to my chest and tremble as doubt floods my mind. What fate truly awaits me?

Broken by Blood: Book 2 - Coming in Sept.Book 2 - Zach and Ryder's Story
Zacharias, a former flight trainer in Gabriel's Legion, was accused and convicted of an abominable crime, then banished to Earth. Now a vampire in the Santa Cruz nest, he struggles to find the confidence he lost, hiding his pain in the worst ways. But a wolf is in town. A wolf unlike any Zach has met before. His smiles are unsettling, his scent soothing, his voice a deep song that touches Zach's spirit. This alpha male speaks with few words, but always with truth. Ryder makes him want to hope again. But everyone knows, hope is a dangerous killer. Ryder , a wolf, believes he failed his original pack. He followed the orders of a sadistic alpha, going against his nature and turning his back on weaker pack members even though they desperately needed his help. As an alpha, he could have stepped up , challenged the prime alpha, and taken charge. Saved lives. But the fates have given him another chance and Ryder is now the second in command under an alpha he greatly respects. He'll work to heal the harm he's responsible for and will remain loyal to his Prime until the end of his days. Only the pack may not be the only place he can do some good. Ryder knows the beautiful male with the face of an angel, the grace of a Fresian stallion, and the feisty nature of an alley cat is hurting. He thinks he can hide it from Ryder and his wolf but they know better. In a fit of anger, he's issued a challenge and expects a response. But the wolf and the shifter know how to bide their time. Zach may be a vampire, but Ryder will get the first bite. |
