Update on Upcoming Releases

I have to update the blog (and will soon). 

I'm currently wrapping up Immortal Mine, Bitten, and Twisted in Knots. I'm hoping to release them this year. We had a kitchen fire that essentially destroyed upstairs and will hinder things. I'll share pre-order links as soon as I can. The current plan is to get the aforementioned out and release Blood Bound, Salvation Mine, Destined, and Chaos Theory next year.

I've missed a lot of time, and I'm trying to catch up. 

I hope all of you are doing well.

Blurb:

Behold the tale of a lovelorn queen, smitten with a would-be king. When her affections were forsaken, she bewitched his kinsmen and enslaved him. 

Byron Morgianne is unique, a union of fae and diaone sidhe warrior blood. He knows and understands lust, as well as violence and pleasure. The world was his market, and there was nothing he couldn't have. Until he met a female unlike any other, a swan princess entrapped by a curse that has destroyed everything she holds dear. 

Elsa Dinarii lost her kindgom and home due to the lusts of a vampyren queen. Zoraida captured her brother and enslaved her kin. She'll do anything to free her twin of his torment, but doing so comes at a cost. The only man who can help her wants her in a way that will alter the course of destiny. In setting her sibling free, she'll remain trapped forever with no hope of escape. 

As worlds collide and irrevocable actions put fate into motion, Byron discovers there's more to existence than blood and lust. If he wants to protect the female he can't live without, he'll have to risk everything. 

Including his very soul.

Blurb:

He's waited a lifetime for her. 

Melody Walker has a dark history. It's only been three years since she was bitten by a rogue werewolf, and her husband was killed. Since she's unable to shift, she's tried to live as a human, desperate to hold on to what she knows. She's worried her best isn't good enough when an enormous man shows up at her doorstep and changes the game. 

Gunner Newsom didn't expect to meet his mate when his pack took over the community at Rhodes, but he's grateful for the gift of her. She's everything he's ever wanted. Witty, resilient, and sexy as hell. There's just one thing that stands in his way. His female is fighting to protect her only child, a little girl who's in danger of being given to her paternal grandparents as she's human and her mother is a werewolf. 

What belongs to him, he loves, cherishes, and keeps. Not only will he claim the mate he's been given, but he'll also protect the daughter he's accepted as his own. He'll kill anyone or anything that attempts to stand in his way.

Blurb:

Fantasy becomes reality, if you carry the mark. 

Chloe Bryant doesn’t know what to expect when she enters The Wolf’s Den. Drawn to the werewolf tattoo parlor for reasons she can’t explain, she soon discovers the sexy man from her dreams isn’t a figment of her imagination. Not only is Jackson Donovan real, but he explains the dreams they shared are due to their destined mating. It can’t be possible. She’s not a werewolf. Even if he swears the mark on her wrist indicates otherwise. 

Jackson is stunned to discover the beautiful minx from his dreams isn’t a full-blooded werewolf but a Halfling. The only way to uncover Chloe’s past is to stake a claim to her future. By taking the delectable female into his bed, he’ll unlock every secret she has to hide—as well as awaken the passion she’s tucked away for too long—by exploring her mind, body, and soul one sweet inch at a time.

Claimed releases in a week. You can pre-order the Ebook or purchase the print version now (print is available at all Amazon retailers, or you can order it from bookstores).

I can't wait for you to meet Gunner and Melody. I've been eager to share them with the world (and expand The Wolf's Den from the first three stories—which were always intended to bleed together per my contract with Ellora's Cave). Claimed is longer and future books will be as well. 

Next year, The Divide series will release. It centers on The Divide (the club/bar in Atrum Hill where The Wolf's Den series began). The title of the first book is Bitten.

I'm currently writing Immortal Mine, Salvation Mine, Blood Bound, and Chaos Theory. Crimson Sunset is also in the works but due to the loss of my last computer (it crashed due to outdated programs, and it took forever to recover files), I'm having to type out pages I printed out. It's a huge task, and I have to complete that before I can finish the manuscript. 

As always, thank you for the continued support.

Claimed Now Available for Pre-Order

 

Claimed is now available for pre-order (The Wolf's Den #4) and will release on November 26, 2021. This installment is longer (80k words). Future books will also be that length as well. Blurb, purchase links, and excerpt are below.

EXCERPT:

"Let me guess," Gunner replied evenly. "Dice Montrose gave you permission to enter his domain."

The attorney hiked his chin and handed Gunner a business card. "He did. He also indicated he didn't want to be involved in the situation. Melody bought a house and property in his territory, but he only allowed it as a courtesy in her circumstances. She isn't part of his pack."

"Whatever you want to show me is null and void. Merrick McCormick is the Alpha now." Gunner pocketed the card. "Unless he says otherwise, you're not welcome here."

"Excuse me?" Kay snapped, no longer willing to remain quiet, propping her hands on her trim hips. Her clothing, jewelry, and speech indicated she'd been born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Gunner's entire focus shifted to her. "No. I don't believe I will."

"We came to see our granddaughter." Tom entered the conversation, putting on that false face of his, pretending to be a decent man. "You can't keep her from us."

When Tom tried to look at Bebe, Gunner countered, using his body as a shield and barrier. He left enough room for Melody to watch what was taking place but little more.

"Yes, I can. Merrick has accepted Beatrice into his pack. As one of his, you have no say when it comes to her. If you want to speak with him, you're going to have to make an appointment."

"That's ludicrous," the lawyer huffed, sounding outraged. "She's human."

"Her mother is a werewolf." Gunner's response was a soft growl.

"That doesn't matter in this case. She was bitten, not born. And she can't shift." The rail-thin man adjusted his tie, standing a bit taller. "Her mother isn't connected to the pack, and her financial and living situation pose potential risks to Beatrice's happiness and well-being. The circumstances allow human courts to decide the best placement for a child in her predicament. She should be raised with her own kind, surrounded by her own people."

Those words put Melody into a full-fledged panic.

Tom and Kay hadn't come to negotiate.

They had already made up their minds.

"If Melody's mate claims the child as his own, your courts have no say."

"That's not the case in this situation. She's not mated." Her stomach knotted as he shook the document in his hand and offered it to Gunner. "A judge has granted Thomas and Kathleen Walker temporary custody. They'd like to proceed without upsetting their granddaughter, which is why we didn't contact authorities for an escort. We can go that route if you prefer. Everything is in order. See for yourself."

Oh dear God. They've come to take her.

Gunner turned his head, and their gazes met.

She always tried to hide her feelings from him, swallowing her emotions down, but she couldn't do that now. Her eyes burned as she fought back tears, that strange sensation inside her stirring. Fury and devastation burst through her, causing her to shake like a leaf. His jaw clenched, his eyes so gold they glowed. He studied her for a couple of seconds. Then he tore his attention from her and focused on the people in front of him. She wasn't sure what he was thinking when he came to her side and slid one of his long arms around her shoulders.

"I should introduce myself." He shifted so she was nestled against him. "I'm Gunner Newsom. Merrick McCormick's Beta."

"This isn't a pack matter," the attorney responded.

Gunner squeezed her, inching even closer. She got the impression he wanted her to brace herself. His alluring scent blanketed her. Unlike before, she didn't experience arousal. This time a massive wave of calm flowed over her. She stopped shaking, that odd feeling percolating within her settling everything instantly.

"Actually, it is. I've claimed Melody and Beatrice as my own. Merrick gave his approval, blessing, and backing in all matters concerning them. They've been members of the McCormick pack for weeks." She thought her knees might buckle. Alarm, fear, and shock tore through her. He lowered his arm and wrapped it around her waist, keeping her upright as he informed God and everyone, "They are my mate and child."

There can be light in the dark.

Shane Heyward left everything behind to find his mate. He struggled for months, following his wolf to her location, guided to a place where supernatural beings exist and thrive. Despite being capable of leading his own pack, he chose to join one. When he finds his mate by accident, he's shaken by the truth. Not only is she blind, the wolf within her is completely feral. If he can't help her take control of the beast, she'll have to be destroyed. 

Luna Lowe was forced to leave her previous pack after she shifted, attacked, and almost killed two members—one of which was her sister. She's ashamed of her behavior, wondering if death is preferable to living alone, when the male she believed abandoned her due to her lack of sight arrives. 

As Shane and Luna come together, he learns her history. His female was wronged, and the insult has to be dealt with swiftly and harshly. As he takes charge and seeks retribution, reverting to his Alpha nature, everything will change—for both of them.

Blurb: 

Believe in second chances. 

After his heart was broken by his first love, Kamden Stone avoided romantic entanglements. He lives in the moment, taking partners who understand his desires and know things will end after one encounter. He's comfortable with the life he's carved out for himself, refusing to need anyone or anything until a young woman he can't stop thinking about changes the game. 

Everly Mason moved to escape toxic family ties. All she wants is a fresh start and a new life. The house left to her is the perfect place to fall, isolated and in the middle of nowhere, providing plenty of work to keep her occupied. She's on the right path, taking things one day at a time, when she's introduced to a mysterious man who turns her life upside down. 

Despite everything, Kamden and Everly can't deny their chemistry. When they agree to a trial period, curious to see where things will go between them, they discover they need each other in a way they never thought possible. When the time comes, they'll have to accept what they want and need. To be together, they both have to find a reason to make them stay. 

Make Me Stay Excerpt: 

"Don't get any ideas." His gaze darted to her, a hidden warning within his eyes. He'd told her he was possessive, and she was looking right at it. "He's taken." 

She couldn't help herself, pushing him again. "What about you?" 

"When I said you are going to rest, I meant it. If you don't watch yourself," he warned, prowling over to her, "I'm going to yank you out of that chair and bust your ass." 

"You wouldn't dare." 

He snagged one of her braids, wrapped it around his hand, and lowered his head until they were eye level. His eyes had darkened, the lust in his expression shutting her up. He leaned closer, leaving a few inches between them. "Not only do I mean it, I'll get you so turned on you'll be squirming in my lap and begging to come, but I won't let you. I'll work you up, get you soaked, and make you go to bed needy and wet." 

He made sure they were staring right at each other, giving her hair a tug. "You going to be good? Or do you want to see if I'm as good as my word?" 

Sweet baby J. "You'd do that to me?" 

"Only one way to find out." 

No way she was risking it. "I'll be good." 

"That's my girl." He gave her a chaste kiss, released her hair, and stepped back. "I'm going to call Bray, then I'll take care of work. I suggest you close those eyes and let the ice and medicine work." 

Or else he'll work me up and leave me needy and wet. 

Damn. 

She did as he said, leaning back and closing her eyes. Even when he stroked her head, she didn't move, open her mouth, or look at him. He was too tempting, and she didn't want to see if he meant what he said. If he cranked things up another notch, she'd lose her mind.

Wicked Deeds of a Warrior Prince

Wicked Deeds of a Warrior Prince will be finished this year. I have to budget so I can't provide a release date (I'm hoping if things go well I can schedule editing/formatting/publishing at the end of this year or the beginning of next). 

Here is the blurb and an excerpt (both are unedited and subject to change).

Behold the tale of a lovelorn queen, smitten with a would-be king. When her affections were forsaken, she betwiched his kinsmen and enslaved him. 

Bryron Morgianne is unique, a union of fae and diaone sidhe warrior blood. He knows and understands lust, as well as violence and pleasure. The world was his market, and there was nothing he he couldn't have. Until he met a female unlike any other, a swan princess entrapped by a curse that has destroyed everything she holds dear. 

Elsa Dinarii lost her kindgom and home due to the lusts of a vampyren queen. Zoraida captured her brother and enslaved her kin. She'll do anything to free her twin of his torment, but doing so comes at a cost. The only man who can help her wants her in a way that will alter the course of destiny. In setting her sibling free, she'll remain trapped forever with no hope of escape. 

As worlds collide and irrevocable actions put fate into motion, Byron discovers there's more to existence than blood and lust. If he wants to protect the female he can't live without, he'll have to risk everything. 

Including his very soul. 

Excerpt: 

Possessiveness slithered through him. 

The thought of another man touching her had him seeing red. 

Son of a bitch. 

Nox had been right. 

This wasn't a coincidence. 

He didn't merely want the woman; he had to have her. 

She was part of him he hadn't known was missing. 

Aware of it for the first time, accepting it as truth, he cautioned, "I want all of you. Every single inch, inside and out. There won't be any single thing I won't know or find." Taking a deep breath, trying to control and steady himself, he continued, "So if you decide you want me in the same way, I'm all fucking yours. In exactly the same way. You'll get me, Elsa. Warts and all. But you have to accept the entire package. I'm not an easy man to handle, and I'm no prize. But I'd belong to you. Only you." 

He felt his glamour rising, nearly taking over again, and he had to concentrate in order to force it back. Since he'd never had the problem before, the task was more than difficult. He felt like he was fighting a war with himself. He ground his teeth together, flexing the muscles in each part of his body. 

Back the fuck off. Be better than that. 

Be better than them. 

She clung to him like she was drowning. It wasn't any wonder. 

Of course, she'd want him like this. 

No female could resist. 

He knew he had to give her a choice that wasn't the result of magik or influence. 

He wanted her to want him, not some ideal that came from his ability to manipulate her reactions and emotions. He held his breath, locked in battle with his own nature. Gods it wasn't easy. Not with her this close and willing. He went to the only thing that could combat the rising tide. 

He thought of Runa and memories he'd tried to forget surfaced. 

His youngest sister fought off would-be sexual partners for years, males who used the same magik he was projecting to take advantage of her. It had happened so many times. If not for himself and Raudan, she'd have been used and abused in so many ways. She'd have lost an enormous portion of the light that was part of her. 

The flow of magik ebbed, allowing him to breathe. "If you don't want me like that. If you don't want me in the same way..." He didn't want to entertain the idea, but he had to be fair. "I'll accept your decision. It'll be hard as hell, because I'll still want you. I can't help that. But I give you my word. I will honor your choice. I will do what I vowed and properly fuck off." 

Her hands crept from his neck to his face. 

He closed his eyes, afraid to look at her. 

In truth, he was terrified of seeing himself reflected in her gaze. 

He was certain the rejection would kill him. 

Her fingers skimmed over his chin, her touch as soft and tantalizing as a morning breeze "You shaved." Her hand moved and she touched the side of his head. Her nails gently scraped the buzzed strands and had his scalp prickling. "And you cut your hair." 

He took a moment, thinking he'd heard wrong. 

Then he realized he hadn't. 

How did he respond to that? 

He'd expected her to react to what he'd told her with some kind of revelation of her own. He'd laid himself bare, turning over and revealing his belly for a kill shot while maneuvering a battlefield inside of himself, and she wanted to talk about his appearance? 

He opened his eyes, realizing the time had come. 

She met his gaze. "Why?" 

Fuck a duck. 

He couldn't read her. 

He had no idea what was going on in her head. 

She looked serious, but behind that, he saw what he thought might be confusion and doubt. Then, in an instant, he comprehended exactly what he was looking at. She was as innocent as eternity was long. Fiona had told him straight. Elsa craved romance even if she didn't know what it was. She wanted to be reassured, adored, and cherished like the treasure she was. 

"For you," he answered, pride be damned, cupped her hand and lifted it to his lips. He pressed a kiss into her palm and informed her, "I wanted to impress you." 

He recognized the hope in her lovely face. "Do you mean it?" 

Unexpectedly and abruptly, she severed eye contact. A cramp fisted his heart. Like him, Elsa had braced herself for rejection. He grasped her head in his right hand, using his fingers to clasp the base of her skull to force her head into an upward angle. Even when her chin came up and he could see her face, she kept her eyes screwed shut. 

A conflict waged inside him. 

Was it wrong to offer her a taste of what she could have? 

Would it make him the very bastard he didn't want to be? 

Fuck it. 

Tired of thinking things over, he lowered his head, brought his mouth down, and pressed his lips to hers. He made sure to keep his eyes open, so he could see her reaction. Her lips parted and her lids lifted. Her eyes went wide, and he let her study him without moving a muscle. 

He'd surprised her. 

He pulled back, their gazes remaining steady and focused on each other, and rested his forehead against hers. "If you want me, I'm yours." 

At that moment he knew he'd do anything for the female. 

He'd love her. Care for her. Protect her. 

Kill for her.

Unfortunately, the reason Becca moved across the country to his hometown is a well-kept secret.

Not all desires are the same. 

Candice Bradshaw has a wretched past that prevents her from envisioning a potential future with a lifelong partner until a man she's tried to forget marches into her life and offers her a chance to explore her desires. Despite the fear of giving over control, the yearning to do so has persisted for years. Even though the delectable man is willing to take the challenge, she's afraid to reveal what her heart desires most. 

 

Brady Stone is a man riding the edge. One night with Candice wasn't nearly enough. He knows she's been hurt in the past, but he's eager to teach her how good it can be between them. He's not who she thinks he is, capable of giving her what she's denied herself for years. With time and patience, he intends to show her there is no danger in venturing into the unknown. 

Due to an agreement, he's been handed the reins to prove he's not like the others. He wants all of her, body and soul, and will not let her go until he shows her just how rewarding surrender can be.

Ride the road until death sets you free. 

Rhiannon Murphy fled New York following the horrific events that ended the lives of those she loved. In the months that have passed, she and her vampire lover, Gabriel Trevellian, have pooled their talents to kill half-demons that have ruled the vampire world for centuries. On the brink of regaining control, they learn things are not so simple. 

Marigold Vesta is no longer content in Hell. Due to the terms of an agreed-upon bargain, the fallen angel is preparing Rhiannon's body for early possession. If that's not bad enough, Lucifer is aware of the trade and wants Rhiannon's soul. 

The only option is to turn to Bane, an arms dealer who offered Gabriel an alliance to recapture the city. The man isn't human and has a personal connection to Rhiannon. When she learns why the deadly being entered her life, she must decide to ride the edge of darkness or bask in the glory of the light. 

 

With the clock ticking, every choice counts. 

This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, violence, and situations that some readers may find objectionable.

Note From Rhiannon

Hiyo and Greetings!

I've been on pause for almost six years. What can I say? The stupid bitch that shares my stories with you has gotten over her shit, listened to me, stopped eating bonbons and doing car pools, and has joined the rest of society (yeah, that's not true).

Thank you ever so much for reading this episodic breakdown of my dismal, strange, and fantabulously-shitastic life that only gets worse due to my poor decision-making and abysmal coping skills. I hope my weird and fucked up voyages continue to entertain and amuse you. There's a good chance it only goes downhill from here (if you've read my previous diaries, you should know this by now). But at least you'll be safe and sound as you view my complete fuckery and missteps from afar and can avoid repeating them.

We'll take the adventures together, marching side-by-fucking-side through...

Damn it, I have no idea.

Look, here's the deal. Don't hope that at some point this series becomes advanced literature that requires college-level classes (if that's your thing, you should fuck-off now because it's a lie, and I'm not worth the cost of admission). I'm the ghetto Dollar General store character in the bargain bin because the child-breeder that created me loves to shop and read books from there (she swears you can find top-notch material at the joint). She would say that, though. The author I talk to on the daily isn't exactly Einstein (she makes homemade dog food for fuck's sake) and is happy with a boring, mundane, and completely uneventful life.

She's a weird shit that does weird shit things, okay?

Here's a paid announcement because a couple of her spawn are heading to college (and I know they will take speech to get their degree, unlike their mother, because they never shut the fuck up) to become educated and fine upstanding citizens you will want to socialize and engage with because that's the thing these days. 

"Thank you for reading this, and have a nice fucking day!"

 

Rhiannon Murphy 

Rhiannon is back in two weeks? EEK!

Howdy everyone. 

I just realized it's two weeks until Edge of Darkness releases. YIKES! 

The edits and formatting are done and sent in. I'm nervous as all hell (ask my family), but I hope you enjoy this installment in the series. The world gets bigger (and you learn new things). The book is Rhiannon/Disco heavy. They've endured a lot and this story revolves around their grief, losses, and the way it's changed them. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse I decided to write it when I did. 

I'll have links for print up (hopefully) before launch. I'm still new to things but am working to have both versions for everyone (so you can have which you like). 

Thank you so damned much for the support. You have no idea what it means to me. 

There will also be contests of some sort on Facebook.

EDGE OF DARKNESS EXCERPT: 

Oh no. Oh shit. 

"What?" Bane questioned. "Tell me." I got hold of myself and met Bane's level gaze. 

"She warned me." I didn't dare look away. He'd already glimpsed portions of what he wanted to know. "I was so angry at the time, I didn't care. I was only worried about killing those who'd wronged me and the people I wanted to save. I only thought about getting what I wanted." 

His gaze drifted from mine, and I understood what he wanted me to figure out on my own. I'd mucked something up along the way. Not the fallen angel I'd made a deal with. He'd been kind enough to let me sort through the mess myself and come to an important realization. That's why he'd handed me the knife and told me to take a real look at myself. He'd expected me to find what I should have after the first attack. To be fair, except for my eyes, the changes weren't all that significant. They could be written off as something else. 

That's why I'd mistaken them. 

The fallen angel crafted the bargain for self-preservation. She hadn't meant for me to return her to her true form. She didn't expect me to find her remains. Why would she? I'd proven myself unworthy. I'd disregarded our initial bargain, gave her an ultimatum, and had given her no reason to trust me. As such, she didn't owe me shit until I fulfilled the terms of our agreement. 

She'd set a trap, and I'd walked right into it. In all honesty, it was a lure of my own making. That's why my eyes had taken on an irrevocable shift. It was also why my skin had turned youthful, and the lines in my face were vanishing. 

The consumption of Disco's blood wasn't the issue. 

This was something else entirely. 

The fallen angel didn't need my assistance. Not anymore. 

She could revive herself on her own. She just needed to get out of Hell first. 

She'd found access to a body that allowed it. 

One she'd done everything to preserve and protect. 

Mine.

SOUGHT (The Wolf's Den) Blurb

Here's the blurb for Sought (book three in The Wolf's Den). This is Shane and Luna's story. For excerpts from the story (and other works) I now have a private author group. Contests and such will be held there as releases roll in (under both author names). I've also started a newsletter (for J.A. Saare and Aline Hunter releases).

PRIVATE AUTHOR GROUP

NEWSLETTER

Without further ado...

SOUGHT Blurb:

Shane Heyward left everything behind to find his mate. He struggled for months, following his wolf's lead, guided to a place where supernatural beings exist and thrive—Atrum Hill. Despite being an Alpha and capable of leading his own pack, he chose to join one instead. When he finds his mate by accident, he's shaken by the truth. Not only is she blind, the wolf within her is completely feral. If he can't help her take control of the beast, she'll have to be destroyed. 

Luna Lowe was forced to leave her previous pack after she shifted, attacked, and almost killed two members—one of which was her sister. She's ashamed of her behavior, wondering if death is preferable to living alone, when the male that abandoned her arrives. She isn't sure if she can trust him—after begging him to come to her for months with no response until now—but doesn't have many other options as her condition continues to worsen. 

As Shane and Luna come together, everything will change—for both of them.

Make Me Stay July 30, 2021

 

Make Me Stay (Make Me #3) will release on July 30, 2021. Excerpt HERE. 

Blurb:

After his heart was broken by his first love, Kamden Stone avoided romantic entanglements. He lives in the moment, taking partners who understand his desires and know things will end after one encounter. He's comfortable with the life he's carved out for himself, refusing to need anyone or anything, until a young woman he can't stop thinking about changes the game. 

Everly Mason moved to escape toxic family ties. All she wants is a fresh start and a new life. The house left to her is the perfect place to fall, isolated and in the middle of nowhere, providing plenty of work to keep her occupied. She's on the right path, taking things one day at a time, when she's introduced to a mysterious man she can't stop thinking about. 

Despite everything, Kamden and Everly can't deny their chemistry. When they agree to a trial period, curious to see where things will go between them, they discover they need each other in a way they never thought possible. When the time comes, they'll have to accept what they want and need. To be together, they both have to find a reason to make them stay. 

CRIMSON SUNSET, CHAPTER ONE

 Hello and Greetings Loves,

I have posted the first chapter of Crimson Sunset on my website if any of you would like to read it. Please forgive typos and the like. I wanted to get it up asap for those who have asked about the book for years now. I'm working on it but please give me time. It's been years since I've been with Emma and Caleb (I'm only a few chapters into the book). I know what's going to happen and how the story will go, I just have to have a sit down and get comfortable with them again.

Blurb:

Emma Johnson assumed her rightful place beside Caleb Blackney, becoming the lupa to his alpha, ready to take on the responsibilities given to her as his mate. They are establishing their own pack, preparing to face a vampire prince who believes he is a god. Numerous obstacles stand in the way, creating chaos and dissent, making the transition dangerous and difficult. 

As Emma struggles to assume her role, attempting to adapt to pack life, she has to master abilities that come with her lineage and change. When things take an unexpected turn, breaking her heart and turning her world upside down, she accepts that some things are worth dying for. 

Werewolves mate for life. To keep Caleb by her side, she'll have to risk it all. No price is too high. She'll do whatever it takes to ensure a future with the man she loves more than anything. She and Caleb are a mated pair, brought together by circumstance and fate. 

They are meant to be together. In life or death.

The chapter is linked below:

Crimson Sunset. Chapter One: Ascending.

Hope all of you are well. More updates are coming soon.

Much Love,

Jaime

Regarding Lack of Releases And My Absence Online

Below you'll find information on upcoming releases. That said, many of you want explanations as to why I didn't finish projects and vanished.

I posted this on Facebook, which was hard for me. I can't try to revisit what I wrote and do it all over again (it's still difficult and I'm still struggling). I'm an extremely private person now, as is explained below. That said, those here have a right to know as well, so here it is. I hope it explains my absence and people will understand. I'll be posting cover art, blurbs, and future release dates for projects that were put aside as I muddled through things.

February 17, 2021

I've put this off long enough, so here we go. 

I'm now working through channels to get things sorted for updates on releases and such. As I've been going through that, I've seen some reactions to my lack of releases and upset regarding the issue. I didn't want to address such matters because my involvement in that side of things is personal and hard to discuss. That said, I couldn't do this without those who want to read what I write. For that reason I feel I have to offer some explanation. 

I wasn't going to write anymore Rhiannon in 2012-2014. That's the honest truth. Finances are something anyone has to consider when working on projects when supporting a family like mine. It's not personal, it's math. I always hoped I would reach a point where it no longer mattered and I could do as I pleased. Then horrid experiences with publishers changed everything for me. I decided to do my own thing shortly thereafter. I believed I could work hard, release what I could, and move along. Everything was coming along nicely, and I'd gotten into a groove. 

Then my father died. 

I love books like all of you. The drive to create my own stories came from my love of reading. I know how frustrating it is when you want to read something promised to you and can't. Yet, in truth, I developed a severe case of depression that pulled me under for almost five years. 

I'm not the person I used to be. I never will be. I've remained off social media and let my mother-in-law take over (until now, as I'm trying to redirect things and get my head out of my ass) because I closed down, locked myself in the house, and focused on my children and husband because I could control almost everything in a consistent environment. 

Grief is a tricky beast because it changes you. 

Regardless, that's the ultimate reason for the delay in releases until last year. The time that lapsed reflects who I am now. I lost a part of me that I can't replace. I never knew how much I needed Dad until he was gone. I am not the person some of you may have met at a convention anymore. Many of you wouldn't recognize me. 

I wrote Perfect Dark to try to venture into a story that was mine and mine alone, trying to recall something I used to enjoy when my children were in diapers, and remembered why I started writing in the first place. The story came together in months and I finally accepted that life moves on because that's how life goes. You are dealt a horrible blow, you muddle through it, fall on your face and struggle to get up, and hope the pieces along the way fall so you can see a partial picture when they land.

Perhaps I didn't need to share this, but I feel it is warranted. 

That is the truth, and now you know. 

Thank you for the love and support through the years. I might not be the same person, but I am always grateful anyone wants to read anything I put to paper. 

Mucho love as always.

Jaime

Hiya all. 

I apologize for the time lapse. A lot has been going on in the world (as you know), but I have two releases forthcoming and wanted to share. Below is cover art, blurbs, and release dates. I'll post when pre-order is available on Amazon. I'm currently working to establish other venues (Smashwords, etc).

Also, I'm sorry I've not checked on blogger. I'm just now seeing comments. I wrote about it on Facebook but will share here as well (will do it after this is posted). I've provided information via my website about future releases, but I want to list them quickly. 

Several things will wrap up this year (as I can finally work again). Those include Salvation Mine (Kinsley and Persephone's story, Alpha and Omega), Immortal Mine (Aldon and Olivia's story, Alpha and Omega), Wicked Deeds of a Warrior Prince (Byron and Elsa's story, Desires of the Otherworld), Sought (Shane and Luna's story, The Wolf's Den), and Make Me Stay (Kamden and Everly's story, Make Me Series). I have pulled up Crimson Sunrise and will work on that as well. Please give me time to wrap things up.

There's no excuse but the truth, which I'll post shortly. 

EDGE OF DARKNESS (Rhiannon's Law #4) May 14, 2021

Ride the road until death sets you free. 

Rhiannon Murphy fled New York following the horrific events that ended the lives of those she loved. In the months that have passed, she and her vampire lover, Gabriel Trevellian, have pooled their talents to kill half-demons that have ruled the vampire world for centuries. On the brink of regaining control, they learn things are not so simple. 

Marigold Vesta is no longer content in Hell. Due to the terms of an agreed upon bargain, the fallen angel is preparing Rhiannon's body for early possession. If that's not bad enough, Lucifer is aware of the trade and wants Rhiannon's soul. 

The only option is to turn to Bane, an arms dealer who offered Gabriel an alliance to recapture the city. The man isn't human and has a personal connection to Rhiannon. When she learns why the deadly being entered her life, she must decide to ride the edge of darkness or bask in the glory of the light. 

With the clock ticking, every choice counts. 

MAKE ME SURRENDER (Make Me #2) June 4. 2021

Reporter and journalist Candice Bradshaw has a wretched past that prevents her from envisioning a potential future with a lifelong partner, until a man she's tried to forget marches into her life and offers her a chance to explore her desires. Despite fear of giving over control, the yearning to do so has persisted for years. Even though the delectable man is willing to take the challenge, she's afraid to reveal what her heart desires most. 

Pleasant View Officer Brady Stone is a man riding the edge. One night with Candice wasn't nearly enough. He knows she's been hurt in the past, but he's eager to teach her how good it can be between them. He's not who she thinks he is, capable of giving her what she's denied herself for years. With time and patience, he intendeds to show her there is no danger in venturing in to the unknown. 

Due to an agreement, he's been handed the reins to prove he's not like the others. He wants all of her, body and soul, and will not let her go until he shows her just how rewarding surrender can be. Other release dates will be coming soon. 

I hope you all are well and staying safe. 

Much Love, Jaime

Perfect Dark (The Company of Wolves #1) Available for Pre-Order

Eleonora Raven Carthy wanted a normal life—a human life—but in a world where it's kill or be killed, she never had the luxury. As a hybrid, born of a human mother and werewolf father, she fled the pack that claimed her when she was a young woman. Now she can no longer hide, thrust into the spotlight after she shifted in front of humans to save a child. Facing the werewolves she abandoned will be difficult, but that's not the confrontation she's worried about. Returning home means she has to make amends with the man who declared her as his mate long ago, the sexy and powerful alpha Noah Cameron.

And that's not all.

Much has changed in supernatural communities. The Watchers of the Moon want werewolves eradicated. Things aren't much better for vampires, as The Coalition of the Sun wants them to stay dead for good. When she returns to her position at the Preternatural Bureau of Investigation, taking a case involving a werewolf that almost killed his family, she comes face-to-face with all she'd hoped to leave behind. A world where all sorts of things go bump in the night, have sharp teeth and deadly hungers, and one mistake could easily be the last.

Welcome to the company of wolves.
