Fun loving wolf-shifter Colton Albright’s usual concern…his next meal, has been replaced by haunted dreams. The nightly visions of the sad, anxious face of his mate have this jovial jokester withdrawing from his fellow Alpha Unit members.
Rheia Bradley is a dedicated professional that lives to help others, but has long forgotten how to help herself. When she arrives in Lycaonia seeking the protection of the warrior units, Colton is ecstatic to discover that she’s his mate. His relief is quickly eclipsed by one small problem, a tiny, solemn four-year-old girl who happens to be his mate’s adopted daughter. Which means… he is now a father!
While Rheia settles into her new job, Colton and all his fellow warriors are about to get a crash course on little girls. The men quickly learn that not one ounce of their centuries-long training has prepared any them for this precocious child.
When Rheia uncovers something about their enemy that puts her name next to her daughter’s on their hit list, Colton is willing to do anything to keep his new family safe. But will it be enough? Views: 802
C’mon dragon, light my fire…
For Nolwenn witch Talaith, a bad day begins with being dragged from bed by an angry mob intent on her crispy end and culminates in rescue by—wait for it—a silver-maned dragon. Existence as a hated outcast is nothing new for a woman with such powerful secrets. The dragon, though? A tad unusual. This one has a human form to die for, and knows it. According to dragon law, Talaith is now his property, for pleasure…or otherwise. But if Lord Arrogance thinks she’s the kind of damsel to acquiesce without a word, he’s in for a surprise…
Is the woman never silent? Briec the Mighty knew the moment he laid eyes on Talaith that she would be his, but he’d counted on tongue-lashings of an altogether different sort. It’s embarrassing, really, that it isn’t this outspoken female’s magicks that have the realm’s greatest dragon in her thrall. No, Briec has been spellbound by something altogether different—and if he doesn’t tread carefully, what he doesn’t know about human women could well be the undoing of his entire race… Views: 802

Georgia Ames is a tough-as-nails park ranger hired to protect the mountains where three crews of registered bear shifters call home. The only problem is she’s terrified of bears after a year in Alaska going head-to-head with the notoriously aggressive Kodiak grizzlies. She swore up and down she’d never work around brown bears again, yet here she is, pledging to protect the crews at all costs. When she meets a dark-eyed, growly stranger with a tendency to talk to himself, she wants to know more about what makes him tick. But the more she gets to know Jason of the Gray Backs, the more danger her life is in.
Jason Trager is just trying to get from one day to the next without his inner bear going mad. Haunted by his past, he toes the line between clarity and insanity. But when he meets Georgia, a curvy human who puts all his ghosts to rest, he becomes desperate to keep her around just to feel normal for a little while. Sure, she’s a beautiful distraction, but the more he gets to know her, the more he wishes he could be more than a fling to her. A woman like Georgia deserves more than a half-mad shifter and a crew of battling Gray Backs. And even if she could survive his people, her very existence in his territory paints a target on her back.
Now, they’ll both have to decide if being together is worth risking her life.

Librarian's Note: This is an alternate/new cover for ASIN B00EFDNTNI
*Author's Note: This novella is no longer available. I combined all of the Dumont Diaries novellas into a standalone novel, which was rewritten, expanded, and retitled as Trophy Wife. *
I step on the dark stage, the cheap plastic of my platforms cutting into the top of my toes, every step bringing a pinch of pain. I keep my eyes down, following the flecks of silver on the unforgiving stage, waiting, exhaling a breath in controlled anticipation, my abs tightening. Then, the lights come on and I have almost three minutes to forget.
Welcome to my life, a drained bank account and six nights a week spinning around a greasy strip club pole. When salvation comes in the form of six feet of drop-dead-gorgeous, complete with a limo and a thick wad of cash, my stilettos run happily out the door to freedom. They say that money doesn’t buy happiness. But it does buy escape. Happiness is an overrated fairytale.
*To Have is a novella, 15,000 words in length, and was part 1 of a 4-part series. Their titles are:
