Swallowing His Pride

2014

Welcome to Pride, Texas, the home of cowboys, roughnecks, southern charm…and shifters. Lion shifters to be exact. When a trip to Las Vegas has Dylan coming face to face with a woman who calls to every part of him—especially his inner lion—he's not sure what to do. Yearning to spend as much time with her as possible, Dylan courts her until one night of passion takes things further than even he was prepared to go. She's now his mate. The impromptu vacation Samantha took with her best friend took a turn for the better when a hunky guy with a charming southern accent takes a liking to her. Unable to deny the intense chemistry between them, she tosses her inhibitions to the wind and indulges in a night of carnal bliss…only to wake up alone. Hurt and confused, she heads home, only to discover that not everything that happens in Vegas stays there. Now he's back, and she must decide what to do once he confesses a secret that turns her reality on its head. But now there's a danger lurking in the shadows as well. A threat that is determined to keep humans out of the shifter society…by any means necessary.

Guarding His Heart

2015

Welcome to Pride, Texas, the home of cowboys, roughnecks, southern charm…and shifters. After being charged with Lynn Edwards’ protection, along with that of the future Prima, Jag found himself in a difficult situation. His inner jaguar recognizes Lynn as their mate, but he isn’t entirely sure how to approach her. A rogue shifter provides him yet another chance to protect her, but a few overheard words leaves her hurt and unwilling to so much as look at him. How can he possibly mend things if she won’t even allow him near her? Lynn is still adjusting to a life amongst shifters and considers herself to be handling things well, especially since she’s fallen for one. Now, she’s landed on the radar of another set of rogues, hell-bent on “cleansing” the shifter nation of any who would sully their lines by mating with humans. The question is can she forgive Jag and allow him to guard her as he longs to do? Or will the rogues finally succeed in destroying them both?

Hello, all! I am a mother of two and am enjoying the pursuit of a writing career. I work full-time in the medical field and spend my down time with family and friends, reading or, (of course) writing. I am currently writing paranormal romance and hope to branch out to Contemporary soon.. The paranormal element allows me to give reality a new depth by integrating paranormal creatures into my everyday world. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want a little excitement added into their everyday life? The Southern/Gulf Coast culture that I have grown up in plays a big part in my writing, forming not only the cultural traits of the characters, but also the ambiance of the geography in many of my stories. I am new to the writing world, and who knows where it will take me? But I'm having fun nevertheless, and if people enjoy reading my work, then it's all been worth it. HAPPY READING!!
