A woman with no memory of her past. Another unable to forget. Both haunted by a sinister creature of roses and shadow with an unquenchable thirst for royal blood. Welcome to the world of the Black Rose. 

***

Six hundred years ago, Mara, the immortal captain of the Black Rose Guard, led her knights to their greatest victory: the annihilation of the Muir Court. For avenging a fallen princess, she was hailed a hero. Yet for Mara, the mirror reflected only a killer.

Determined to save the young woman for whom the long-dormant roses have awakened, Mara dons her ancient Arius blade, and prepares to once again lead her men into a fight from which they may never return.

All the while, Mara’s enemies prepare to exploit her greatest weakness: the life of her only love, Edward. Her sole warning is whispered in shadows: Beware the Silver Rose.

Fractured Moonlight: Pre-Order!

Fractured Moonlight:

A Twisted Fairy Tale

Cover by: Skyla Dawn Cameron

A handsome Huntsman. 

A lost Princess. 

A delicious fairy tale romance awaits! 

***

Once upon a time, a brutal stranger with eerie glowing eyes abducted a princess. The king and queen pursued every clue, but were left to mourn the loss of their eldest daughter and seek solace in their remaining child, Cat. Heartbroken, and terrified of losing her as well, they kept the younger princess safely locked within the palace walls. 

Twenty years later, Cat struggles to become a perfect princess, even as her heart secretly longs for freedom. When her upcoming betrothal is announced, Cat rebels, fleeing in hopes of at least one adventure before accepting her royal fate.

Sir Arawn, famed-huntsman-turned-reluctant-knight, would rather spend his days hunting monsters than in royal service. But at the personal request of his king, the handsome rogue agrees to search for the runaway princess. On his journey, Arawn encounters a ginger-haired lass whose red-hot temper is matched only by her fiery passion. A woman who challenges his patience, honor, and royal responsibilities. The huntsman is torn between his promise to find the errant princess, and his increasing desire to remain at the captivating beauty’s side.

Releasing the Dragon – Coming Soon!

Book II in the Bestselling

Flames of Kalleen

Paranormal Romance Series

ReleasingtheDragon-Kindle

7,000 years ago, an Amethystine dragon fell in love with a Kalleen princess, and nearly uncovered an unholy truth. As a consequence, to protect the status quo, the Amethystine were banished from the kingdom, their very existence wiped from the epics of history. 

***

Plagued by inescapable nightmares, Amelia wonders if the unknown dragon in her dreams, whose boundless fury destroys all she loves, is a glimpse of an ancient past…or uncertain future? 

Despite her fears, the newly crowned Dragon Queen must find the courage to face the kingdom’s darkest secrets. Evil truths that those who prefer the old ways, especially the temple’s powerful leaders, will go to any length to keep in eternal shadow. 

Standing steadfast by her side, Amelia’s Captain Gwain, and newfound love Conner, strive to assist her. In their quest to forge a new kingdom, one free from oppression of those not blessed with a dragon form, Amelia delves deeper into the temple’s corruption and uncovers the horrors wrought upon her kingdom’s children in the name of control and power. A necessary task, for a better future, but her revelations could spark a civil war between the temples’ devoted followers and those sworn to the royal dragon bloodline.

Coming: October 25, 2018!

Princess of the Rose Audiobook

PrincessRose-audio-ad

Princess of the Rose:

Black Rose VI

Available in Audiobook format:

Of all the codes they teach us…

those of duty, honor, trust, loyalty…

none ever speak of love.

The story is well-known. A Lorcan princess, who died at the hands of a wicked prince. And the captain, whose quest for vengeance knew no bounds.

But what if her death had been an elaborate plot? 

Instead of murder, Princess Liza is taken captive by the cruel-hearted Prince Nicholi, with the reluctant assistance of Captain Erik, of the Muir Court Guard. Focused entirely on his own aspirations, the prince demands Liza consent to become his rose bride, which would place both her eternal soul, and her kingdom, in his pitiless grasp.

As the prince awaits his answer with failing patience, Liza’s only comfort comes in a  guarded friendship with the Muir captain; a man torn between obeying the sacred vows of knighthood and his desire to protect the princess he has come to love.

Enraged beyond reason when discovering Erik’s devotion to the woman he considers his property, Nicholi forces Liza to make an impossible choice.

SilverRose-promo1

History called it the shimmering court. A palace of glass upon the water surrounded by silver roses. For a millennia it stood as a symbol of power and stability within the immortal realms. 

In a single night, it washed away in a sea of blood.

Six hundred years ago, Mara, the immortal Captain of the Black Rose Guard, led her knights to their greatest victory: the annihilation of the Muir Court. For avenging a fallen princess, she was hailed a hero. Yet for Mara, the mirror reflected only a killer.

Haunted by the slaughter carried out in the name of honor and duty, Mara hoped she had fought her last battle. But when knights of the Arum Court murdered her sub-captain, hope shattered and the blood roses began to bloom.

Determined to avenge her fallen comrade and save the young woman for whom the long-dormant roses have awakened, Mara dons her ancient Arius blade, and prepares to once again lead her men into a fight from which they may never return.

All the while, her enemies prepare to exploit her greatest weakness: the life of her only love, Edward. Deep in the heart of the Arum Court, King Mathew hoards secrets of his own as a voice whispers through the shadows: Beware the Silver Rose.
