As they spend more time together, Shia begins to rely on the shifter for more than just safety. Being close to him stirs up a wild hunger she can't seemed to contain.

Claiming the Succubus 

Takers Book 1 

Being a Succubus has its perks…until the hunter becomes the hunted.

For half-breed succubus Ava Hawley, hunting supernatural foes is worth all the risks and rewards. But when a wolf shifter is responsible for kidnapping her sister, the mission becomes personal. Ava is ordered to track down the bad boy and turn him over to her boss. That is, until she meets the dangerously sexy shifter and realizes her charm—the kiss of death—is no match for the charms of her opponent.

Alpha werewolf Killian Reid is on the run from a demon mistress, but someone else is on his tail—a stunning seductress with more sex appeal than any woman ought to have. And Killian can't resist her. Proving his innocence will be a challenge, but with every moment that he spends with her, Ava’s self-control weakens. And as their attraction grows, she knows she’ll have to rely on the shifter she'd been sent to capture, or they’ll both become victims to another predator…

As an enthusiast of action-packed movies like John Wick and Underworld, I love exciting and engaging plots. Throw in some steamy scenes with a twist of suspense, and I’m all for it. This is where my inspiration came from with my Takers Series. Alpha heroes are my favorite, but I also really like female-led characters that are smart, fierce and imperfect.

When not writing, I’m always down to trying new foodies or out scavenging for home good deals. One thing I can't get enough of is coffee, especially during my editing phase. I love connecting with readers, so drop by my website and say hello.

Excerpt Two for Caught

Qunn ran his hand over his face.
When he’d gone to the ridge for her and found her skin red and her lips dry and
colorless, he’d told himself sternly he’d not grant her freedom. When her
scales had loosened and fallen like teardrops onto the sandy ground as he
trotted down the ridge, he had to remind himself of her treacherous nature.
When he stood with her in his arms at the edge of the beach where the sea met
the shore, while she’d lain lifeless, all that lovely fire gone, he’d bit his
tongue and resisted the urge to carry her into the sea and let her go.

He’d been imprisoned once himself, years back. Wrongfully, in that instance—not
that he hadn’t deserved it for other offenses—but in that particular case, he
was innocent. So when he was questioned for the name of his accomplices, it
wasn’t loyalty but ignorance that had stayed his tongue. As no amount of
threats or beatings had worked, his jailors—frustrated and tired of blooding
their knuckles—had thrown him into a pit to rot. Slop had been thrown down to
him when they thought to feed him. It hadn’t been the shivering cold, nor the
gnawing hunger pains that had been the worst of it. It had been the unrelenting
anxiety that had clawed its way into his heart—the fear of being forgotten and
left to die.

He didn’t know how long he’d been locked away in that muddy hell, but
he was two stones lighter when his captain and crew had finally snuck in and
sprung him. If Captain Black Jack and the crew of The Devil’s Own hadn’t
had his loyalty before that night, they’d earned it in spades thereafter. When
he’d escaped that prison hell, he’d thought he’d gotten over it. There’d only
been the odd night terror to bring him back every now and again.

Quinn looked out at the endless ocean with nothing but the sound of
the tide washing against a deserted shore. Unease closed in on him. He was
alone here in the middle of nowhere—isolated—again. That same sick dread tried
to crawl its way back into his head. It was humbling to know he had nothing but
this mercenary mermaid in his arms to keep his demons at bay.

He looked down at her, even the thought of setting her free left him
with that edgy, jittery feeling. His fingers felt twitchy with need for a
bottle of rum, just like the times when unwanted memories of the pit came back
to haunt him.

One minute he was determined that if he had to keep this wild sea
creature here to help him keep his inner demons at bay, it was the least she
could do for her crimes. But looking at her now, he decided he’d only give One
Ear’s word on the matter consideration for only a wee bit longer.

Maybe it was because for all her treachery, she reminded him of his
beloved sea—wild and untamed. Maybe she couldn’t be expected to act in any way
other than what was in her nature. Whatever the reason, the thought of her
death gave him no satisfaction at all. If she worsened, he knew he’d find
himself carrying her back to sea. His mood darkened at the thought, and he
couldn’t ignore the rush of relief that loosened his tense muscles when her
long, dark lashes fluttered open.

“Ugh, it’s you pirate,” she said, her voice was a mite better but
still a little raspy. He liked it. “I thought you were naught but a bad dream.”

“No, wee siren,” he grinned. “Lucky for you, I’m not, because I
brought your scaly arse some food.”

About the Author:

Kimberley Cale writes fantasy romance and is the author of the Sea Temptress Series and the epic Tales of Terraron. She has been a reading addict for as long as she can remember. While she enjoys reading anything and everything from historical, paranormal to contemporary novels, she has found her passion bringing her feisty heroines together with their bad boy heroes and adding a spark of magic to create fantastic page turning romance.

After visiting over half of the United States, Mexico, The Dominican, Europe and parts of Canada, she can honestly say the experience has broadened her perspective on other cultures and enlivened her already overactive imagination.

Her family will tell you that from the time she was a child she has rarely been without a journal in hand building worlds for her characters to live in and exciting obsoletes for them to overcome.

With a few college and online writing courses under her belt, Kimberley is constantly learning how to improve her writing craft online, While she worked for an insurance company, part of her job involved writing letters to claimants. These were sad tales that should have started with sorry for your loss. Later she worked in the safety industry and wrote many a safety manual for different companies. Unfortunately not one manual included an ounce of romance in it. Finally after years of research, which involved reading a great variety of romance novels well into the night, she decided to pursue her writing passion.

Kimberley’s other loves besides her awesome family include, trying unsuccessfully to keep the weeds out of her garden. So far verbal threats and hand gestures haven’t worked; still it’s a war she intends to win. She’s also obsessed with a streaming cup of hot chocolate; well chocolate of any kind really, there’s been talk amongst family and friends about an intervention. When she’s not writing you will find her snuggled next to her hubby searching Netflix for the latest epic movies.

More than anything else she loves hearing from her readers and makes it a priority to respond to any and all who are willing to take the time to send her a line.

Monday

Marco – Hey. How’s your day going? Fallen into the arms of any men lately?

Renee – Good afternoon, Lieutenant. I’ve had no showings today. I’m in the office proofing marketing materials and doing boring admin stuff. Unless I trip over my own feet and my fifty-five-year-old broker John catches me, I don’t think I’ll be needing your rescue services today.

Marco – I wouldn’t rule it out. So, what heels are you wearing?

Renee – Should I take that question as you admitting to a foot fetish?

Marco – Isn’t it a little early in our relationship to be asking about sexual preferences? 

Renee – Isn’t it a little presumptuous to be using labels?

Marco – Touché.

Renee – Don’t think I didn’t notice you didn’t answer my question, Lieutenant. 

Wednesday

Marco – My sister just told me you’re a closet Brewers fan. Please tell me she’s screwing with me, otherwise it might be the first thing in your con column.

Renee – Brewers . . . they’re a football team, right?

Marco – On my way to a call-out now, but don’t think I’m going to let this one go.

Renee – No, definitely not a Brewers fan. Cubs for life, through and through. I fly the W proudly. Be safe, Lieutenant.

Marco – Always, princess.

Renee – Princess. . . I like it.

Marco – Just say the word and I’ll bow down at your feet willingly.

Thursday 

Renee – Lieutenant Rossi, I’ve heard you are a good guy. Do you have further testimonials to support this claim?

Marco – You sure know how to make a long shift go faster. And no, I don’t have a collection of references to hand out to future dates.

Renee – That is a shame. Word-of-mouth is key in my line of work.

Marco – Surely my meddling sister’s confirmation that I’m not a douchebag is proof enough?

Renee – LOL. Skye might just see you as a charity case that needs a woman’s touch.

Marco – I’m trying so hard not to go near that one. I will say that I’m not afraid to put in the work to get a woman’s touch on my own.

Renee – I’ll put that in your pro column then.

Marco – I hope you’ve got a lot of room on that side of the list. You’re going to need it.

Bella-Rosa Amato

My life is the envy of women everywhere. I live in a gorgeous mansion, wear expensive clothes, go to A-list parties, and attend a prestigious college.

It is a life of beauty and glamor . . . and all of it is a lie.

Behind closed doors, I am bullied by my cold and powerful father. With no money of my own, I have no choice but to obey him . . .

Until I am attacked, and a half man-half beast intervenes. Kit takes me to his home to heal, where I am immersed in his secret world. As we bond over unexpected experiences and shared interests, my gratitude changes into something that feels as old as time.

Kit/King

I was created for the darkness and, for a while, it controlled me. But I escaped that life and made a new home for myself.

Before Bella crossed my path, I didn’t think happiness was possible. But she not only accepts my differences, she offers friendship.

Her gentle and compassionate heart opens me up to those parts within me.

With her, I don’t feel like the beast I have always been labeled.

But the closer we get, the more I wonder if I am truly as human as she believes, and whether the mistakes of the beast can ever be forgiven . . .

When an old enemy resurfaces, Bella and Kit will need to stand firm in their love, face the brutalities of the past, and trust in the beauty that comes from within to make it out alive.

BEAUTIFUL is a sweet and dark, modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The themes of beauty, strength, redemption, and love shine through in an unforgettable tale that will make you question everything you think you know about beauty . . . and the beast.

Excerpt
3:

“You were given
an order. Kill Bella.”

His head whipped
around and his clouded gaze landed on mine. He bared his teeth, growling at me
in a new, obedient way.

Even then, I
didn’t lose faith in him.

In us.

I put my hands
up in a defensive gesture. “You don’t want to hurt me, Kit. I know that.”

He edged closer, then started to circle me, the
way I’d seen animals do on documentaries right before they attacked

Flavonoid Superfood, and more...

Date Published: Sept 1st 2020

Publisher: Master Kuthumi Consulting (Imprint Serapis Bey Publishing)

 

This book is a detailed account of the research on gut health and the
benefits of healthy eating. The book describes 21 smoothies along with a new
superfood Flavonoid additive that will help people with health benefits.
Holistic living in total.

About the Author

At 14 years old, to be a health advocate, researcher, entrepreneur,
innovator and a publicist is a huge feat and Diya encompasses all of these
with flair. She is not just a born natural but also very thoughtful,
inquisitive and enterprising. Diya's mission is to change this world from
inside out and motivate self help and self healing using unique healthy
recipes, introducing her own brand of super food of flavonoids (Oxi-Blast)
and also by introducing meditation and breathing techniques to live a better
life.

Her discord server SPEAK (Support, Positivity, Equality,
Acceptance/Assistance and Kindness) that she started with only 2 people a
few weeks back now has over 30+ subscribers who wants to talk to her about
their problems and frustrations, and Diya being a good listener, listens to
their problems and asks them to practice breathing and meditation with her
or provide some encouraging words that the friend was desperate to
hear.

She is also the youngest proponent of smoothies and has developed 64 unique
combinations of fresh fruits and vegetables, Oxi-Blast, superfoods,
condiments and a liquid base. She shares 21 of those in this book and she
also provides a grocery list of ingredients in her website to make efficient
shopping possible. Her book is also full of treasured facts for each of the
ingredients with their nutritional values to you to make a conscious
decision about the food that you are eating.

Her passion to learn from her life lessons and motivate the youth to be a
better version of themselves, take care of their stress, depression and
anxiety by simply learning to express their feelings and also eat healthy to
keep chronic illness away. She comes from a family history of diabetes,
blood pressure, chronic allergies and heart problems, so she is trying her
best to stay healthy and also reach the younger generation to maintain a
balance in their lives from very early in life to ward of predisposed
conditions.

Her research on microbiome (E.coli) and how it is affected by different
chronic medications that we take on a daily basis like metformin, losartan,
ibuprofen , tylenol and even vape , shows the deleterious side effects it
can have on gut bacteria. Hence, with the help of her research, while
working at an ASU lab, she is trying to quantify the amount of flavonoids in
Oxi-Blast to give a healthier option to oneself and start on a journey of
self healing.

EXCERPT:

“Stephanie has videos of women who want to meet us.” Levi broke the tension with his reminder. “Don’t know about you, but even if this all goes to shit, it would be nice to wake up with a gorgeous woman in my bed.”

A few grumbles of agreement, and order was restored.

Stephanie handed us all notebooks. “We’ve never done this any other season, and I want to make sure we stay respectful to our Werewives. They’re brave to uproot their lives and take a chance on a bunch of unknown wolves who needed them a hell of a lot more than the ladies need the pack. As you watch each audition write down your thoughts. Would you like to get to know her? It’s okay if you don’t see a mate connection right away. Like I’ve said, this is a totally new way of doing things, and we’re just gauging interest. We want to make the best possible matches. I’m the only one who will ever see these notes.”

Tension filled the room as all the guys got more serious than I’d ever seen them. They might have busted my balls about my methods, but there was no doubt how badly they wanted this to work.

“What if we know one of them is our mate?” Sterling asked.

“Write it down, and I’ll prioritize filming your episode.” Stephanie’s finger hovered over the keyboard. “Ready?”

This moment would change the course of our pack. “So ready.”

“These videos are short introductions. The ladies will tell you a little about themselves, and why they think they have what it takes to be a Real Werewife. If you have any questions for her after watching her video, write those down too.”

She hit play.

Silence filled the room before the video started. A pretty woman appeared on the screen, telling us a little about her life and how she saw it as an adventure. The guys stared at the screen, looking for a sign she was the one.

Stephanie paused the video. “Would you rather I stop after each one so you can write your notes that way?”

“Yeah. I don’t want to miss anything,” Austin said.

My stomach filled with dread, and my wolf grew restless inside me as we watched the videos. After each woman’s name, I put a question mark. Maybe. No one struck me as the one, and I glanced over at the guys, wondering if they had the same feeling I did.

But my wolf pushed doubt aside when the next woman appeared on the screen. She was beautiful, with long dark shiny hair and green eyes that made me do a double take. Was she a shifter? No matter who she was, she was wild.

“Hi. My name is Gretta Goodson and I have a confession to make.”

“Her.” I broke Stephanie’s rule, but my wolf was feeling a whole bunch of unfamiliar things and he was twisting inside me, desperate to make himself heard. “Get her here. Now.”

“Don’t you want to hear her confession?” Mason asked. “I’ve got to admit, I’m curious as hell.”

“Don’t need to,” I growled. My wolf had already told me everything I needed to know about Gretta Goodson.

Mate.
