Lithia is a witch and possesses the natural inhuman strength, healing ability, and long lifespan that all witches have. Ronan, her lover, is a human royal guard and a former witch hunter. Together they travel the kingdom, hired by cities and villages to eliminate the creatures that prey on their citizens.

While defending a town against an attack, the humans inexplicably turn on them. When the battle is over, no human is left alive. Word of the bloodbath spreads, and enraged humans blame the witches for the deaths.

On the run and desperate for answers, every place they stop has new tales of similar massacres across the land. They discover a group of Naguals, hideous shape-shifting brutes, are behind the humans’ attacks on witches. A race against time begins as Lithia and Ronan hunt the Naguals while being chased by the very humans they are trying to save. If they don’t stop the Naguals, both humans and witches will be at their mercy and the world as they know it will be over. 






Originally born in Australia but moved to Switzerland when I was 5. After 14 years completing school and an apprenticeship as a fitter and turner, I moved back to Australia. Eventually I moved to Hong Kong for 3 years and got married. My wife and I moved to Australia. We currently live in Darwin.

While I enjoy a good story and fantasy as such like reading the Throne of Glass series, I was tired on reading about magic for pretty much every fantasy trope there is. I want to take a different take with mine that does not involve magic and typical creatures such a dwarfs and elf's.

Gabriel Cooper is just another cop on the NJPD- well, just another cop, except with almost psychic instincts. When those instincts lead him onto a bus to capture a hostile, he's exposed to a mysterious bomb. Still, it seems like just another adventure he walked away from. Except that suddenly, his instinct is becoming his primary sense to keep out of trouble- and there is a lot of trouble.

Braelin Cunningham has no family, but she does have her best friend Gabe. She'll do whatever it takes to protect him from the mysterious League of Incredible Supermen. As long as Braelin gets to be by the side of her best friend and secret crush, she'll do it. Even if it means going on the run when more than the League get interested with Gabe's newfound abilities.

Alannah doesn’t come without her own craziness, such as a grandmother who has been trying to get a look in the MC’s compound for years, and who loves to flirt and touch “beef cake.” She’s just looking to survive, finish her degree, and help her grandmother. She isn’t looking for a man. She isn’t asking to be in danger from not one, but two forces. 

She especially never expects to ache for a giant, tattooed, hot alpha male biker. He consumes her mind, body and maybe even her soul. He never expects to burn for her and not be able to get her off his mind. He is consumed with thoughts of her day and night. He wants to be able to worship her the way he thinks she deserves and his body wants. 

In the end can they eliminate the danger and find each other, so Alannah can have and love her own sexy biker and Menace can have and love his Siren?

Dublin Falls Archangel's Warriors Boxset : Books 1-3 






I'm a bookaholic who has been reading since I was six years old. I love the written word and numerous genres, but romance has always been my favorite! I remember one winter I stayed in my room for two weeks straight reading not realizing it had snowed for days! I have wanted to write for years, however, life had me living in a big city working as a nurse and being a wife and mother. Four years ago I moved to Tennessee with my husband and our two adult kids followed. Last year I was finally able to quit my nursing job to dedicate my time to writing. I find I like all romance but have a particular love for erotic romances in all its forms. My biggest dream would be to have others read and receive joy from my books as I have from several of my favorite authors! Please let me know what you think of my works.

Excerpt

It was this cold, suffocating feeling that washed over me,
this stillness that wasn’t calming but strangling me, wrapping its icy,
death-like fingers around my neck. I couldn’t breathe, lifting my hands to claw
at my throat. I needed oxygen. I needed air in my lungs.
I was in the center of a frozen ocean, drowning, shards of
ice stabbing into my fragile body and tearing me open. I was being pulled
deeper until blackness consumed me, washed over me… claimed every single inch
of my body until I was nothing more.
Bleakness.
Emptiness.
Nothing.
I opened my eyes, blinked once, twice, staring at the
ceiling, counting water stains above me. I tried to breathe, but I couldn’t,
that darkness still washing over me, still having that stranglehold around my
throat. It was a vice.
And then I gasped, as if my body realized I wasn’t dreaming
any longer, as if it realized I was in the here and now. I wasn’t back there; I
wasn’t with the darkness and emptiness that had been my companion for so long.

Excerpt

“He’s coming out. His driver just had the car come around.
Are you ready?”

There was a grumble on the other end. “Ready?! I thought you
said, you would think of something else?! We’ve been here two hours and you
can't come up with a better plan than this?!”

I rolled my eyes hearing Jason complain. What I was about to
do was plan B which I had made in case I couldn't think of a plan A. “Look I
paid you, okay? Just get into place and do what you got paid for please. If he
leaves and I don't get paid, then I'll gladly let Gerald know –”

“Fine!” Jason quickly cut me off. “But I won't like it. Just
try not to die, Elle.”

He hung up and I placed the phone back into my pocket. I,
myself, hoped I wouldn't die too, with what was about to happen. Running across
to where I knew the car would be heading, I stood on the sidewalk as the cars
passed by and pulled my phone out again. Unlocking the phone, I took a deep
breath and sent a small prayer up to God.

I don't know when Christoff got into the car, I only saw the
white Mulsanne drive off and make a left towards me in order to turn onto the
main road of Brickell Avenue. With the other pedestrians moving so quickly
behind me, my heart skipped a beat as I watched in slow motion as the car
approached.

Wondering where Jason was, panic shot its way through my
veins and I glanced down at my phone to text Jason again, when suddenly I felt
a firm hand on my back, followed by a hard shove forward.

Excerpt

He turns his head to the side and he’s looking at me so
deeply, I’m trying to hide my true feelings from him.  “You think friends
with benefits would be different? How?”
I shrug my shoulders.  “Well, because you’d know I’m
emotionally messed up and that what we have could fizzle out, but at least we’d
still be friends because we’d both know we are in it to… you know, help each
other out.”
Austin laughs, and I’ve never been more grateful to hear it,
but he sombers quickly and looks at me skeptically.  “I’ve never known you
to be a friend with benefits type of woman.”
My heart is hammering in my chest.  “Well, you and I
both know you’ve never been the settling down type anyway. Who better to try
out the friends with benefits thing with than you?”
We’re still holding hands, and his thumb rubs over my palm
in a slow, circular motion. We both watch our hands and when he looks up, I
meet his gaze, holding my breath.
Finally, he mutters softly, “If that’s the only way I can
have you, that’s fine.”
