Now that I've wrapped up the Christmas Collab, I'm diving back into my main project: Jacob's book. It's currently in the formatting phase for both eBook and paperback editions. I'll be hosting a giveaway on Monday!

I'm excited to return to House of Zorah, where you'll finally meet the Bailey Witches. Get ready to meet Aya Bailey, the witch who cast the curse on supernaturals, and her daughter, Hazel Bailey, who freed supernaturals from the curse with Jacob's help.

I’m releasing Meekah’s book as a free download

I’m releasing Meekah’s book as a free download on my website on December 18 at 8 p.m. EST. I’ve got some stuff going on at home that I’m dealing with, which is the reason for the late upload. But I promise you’ll have it by this time.

Here’s the blurb:

Meekah

I made a grave mistake by verbally confronting the Luna of the Ash Clan. In this clan, such a transgression is punishable by death, but I was spared thanks to Lauren’s forgiveness. However, my reprieve comes with a catch: I’m assigned to work with Wolf Shifters on a delivery run to Detroit. The agony of it all. Yet, during our last run, I catch a familiar spicy cinnamon scent—a fragrance I’ve been drawn to for over a thousand years. It’s her; I’ve finally found my mate. But trouble is closing in on her, and Fate has placed me right where I need to be to protect her. My primal instincts demand I keep her close, and I have no patience to wait for her to accept her place beside me. So I take her. No one can stop me. She’s mine. She may resent me now, but I believe in the power of Fate to bring her around.

Amaya

What was supposed to be a typical day at the diner during the Christmas rush quickly turns chaotic. As I’m closing up, two shifters from Wintermoon arrive with fresh baked goods, and I meet the most stunning lion shifter I’ve ever seen. His beauty and presence leave me breathless, but that moment is short-lived. Just as I’m about to leave, a robbery unfolds, and Meekah becomes my unexpected savior. But there’s a catch: he won’t leave Detroit without me. He insists on taking me back to Wintermoon, claiming I’m his fated mate. I’m terrified of being trapped in a world I know only from radical news and my own family’s fears. Yet, once I arrive, I feel an undeniable pull towards this gorgeous shifter, and Wintermoon is nothing like I imagined. It’s a paradise. I resent Meekah for forcing me into this new life, but I can’t ignore the love blossoming in my heart for him.

I'll give you the lineup of upcoming releases tomorrow once my girls are at school. Happy reading, and I hope you enjoy the bonus scene ❤

Don’t let my looks deceive you; I’m far more dangerous than I appear. Jacob took something that belongs to me, and I want it back. You really think your brother, King Amir, or your formidable dragon shifter clan can protect you? Think again. I’m coming for what’s mine, and I won’t hesitate to hurt anyone in my way.

Don’t piss me off!

I’m also in the final editing stage for Saving Jacob, which might come out even sooner. I’ll keep you posted once the final proofread is complete.

🌪️ I’m losing my grip on reality. I used to

🌪️ I’m losing my grip on reality. I used to understand the world, its intricate workings—evolution, constant change. Now, confusion clouds my mind. I’m a master of medicine, and my studies and practice span over a thousand years. 🩺✨ Medicine is my life, my identity. But then, I catch a whiff of something special—🌸 jasmine. The floral, fruity fragrance ignites my primal instincts, sending them into overdrive.

Once, I was a docile dragon shifter. You could throw anything my way, and I wouldn’t flinch. Now, I want to burn everything down to clear a path for my mate. I smile as her lovely scent washes over me like a freight train in this busy department store. 🚂💨 Around me are countless other fragrances, but hers stands out, undeniable.

She moves through the racks, searching for a dress. Her long, thick wavy hair cascades from her back to her shoulder as she turns, and I notice the tiny hairs on her skin rise in alarm. She knows I’m watching. 👀 Kade was right about fate. I’ve always needed facts, theories grounded in research. But Kade insists my attachment to the jasmine fragrance means it’s my mate's scent. 🌼💖

I carry Egyptian Grandiflorum Jasmine with me everywhere, the queen of white flowers—synonymous with sun, purity, and elegance. Sometimes, I even eat it, craving to absorb its essence. This is my mate, the embodiment of beauty, light, and grace. 🌞✨

I’m so lost in my thoughts that I don’t notice she’s approached until she speaks.

“You again,” she snarls, her dazzling light brown eyes flashing with frustration. Her beautiful chocolate skin looks soft and sweet, and I can’t help but want to run my tongue along her flesh. 😍 Through her fury, I catch a hint of her arousal. She finds me attractive.

Good. 💕

“Why do you keep popping up everywhere? Are you following me?”

I don’t answer. I’m too captivated by her eyes to formulate a lie. How do I tell her she’s my fated mate, destined to be by my side for the rest of my days? How do I explain that I can’t stop following her, hoping my body finally lets me speak? How do I tell her I’m not leaving Detroit without her, even if it means turning this city to ashes to keep her safe?🔥🏙️

🎉 Late WIP Wednesday! Grad school and editing J

🎉 Late WIP Wednesday! Grad school and editing Jacob’s book have been kicking my butt. Sorry for the delay! Here’s a preview from *Stalking Lauren*:

I turn into the alley, ready to face my stalker. Instead, I see a group of hostile men, their eyes full of menace. I glare at them, hands on my hips. “Listen, this isn’t what you want. I think I have a dragon shifter after me.”

They laugh, one of them drawing a weapon. “You’re out of your mind. Dragon shifters aren’t real. Get on your knees!” he barks.

Before I can reply, the air changes. A loud roar echoes off the walls. A massive dragon swoops down, its huge body blocking out the light. Smoke pours from its nostrils.

Its scales are a deep black, shining like armor. Its eyes glow like molten gold, surveying the scene with sharp focus. As it lands, its claws dig into the ground, sending debris flying. The dragon nearly fills the alley, its wings folding back with a heavy thud.

“What were you saying?” I smirk, heart racing as I finally see him in full view, the personification of my deepest fears and desires.

Can’t wait for you all to read the rest! 🐉✨ #WIPWednesday #WritingCommunity #Fantasy

I’m thrilled to announce what’s coming up in my **Wintermoon Shorts** series!

🐉 **First up**: Dive into the Ash Clan with **Sam**, a dragon shifter stalking his fated mate, **Lauren**. Watch as he navigates the tension before claiming her as his own!

🦁 **Next**, we’re heading to lion shifter territory! Meet **Meekah**, an alpha whose primal instincts kick in when he encounters **Amaya**. Will he be able to control his desires, or will he take her against her will?

🌑 **Finally**, get ready for **Forgiving Levi**, where we explore the dark side of the shifter universe. Not all shifters can tame their primal urges! **Leah** and **Kade** must step in when Levi captures the scent of his fated mate. You’ll also find out why **Nia** is so bitter—her story will be a freebie on my website. I know how much ya’ll hate her, lol!

📝 **Saving Jacob** is my top priority right now! I’m still in the editing stages, but it looks like there will be an early release. I’ll update you soon with the next short and Jacob’s release date!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday week!

Happy reading! 🎉💖
