He was raised to serve his queen.

She wants him on his knees for a different reason.

When a war-scarred Bouda shifter finds his fated mate in a struggling gig worker delivering pizza during a blizzard, instinct says kneel.

But Kendra doesn’t want a servant.
She wants the monster who threw her car through a building.

🔥 Fated mates
🔥 Possessive alpha hero
🔥 Black paranormal romance
🔥 She makes him break every rule

Heya! Just wanted to share a little WIP update ✨

Heya! Just wanted to share a little WIP update ✨

Now that Guarding Kendra is finished and ready to go live, I’m moving on to my next projects!

I’m about 30% finished with Choosing Aaron, which will be my next release. Claiming Aya will follow, and I’m about 75% done with that one. The Blackwoods comes after, and I’m just starting to dig into that story.

I’ll be posting an updated release schedule next week. A few dates will need to shift so I can make sure everything is wrapped up properly as the main Wintermoon plotline comes to an end with The Blackwoods.

I’ll still be sharing shorts through Wintermoon Shorts and the Academy series, but those will remain short-form stories 📚

And a huge thank you to my artist. I love seeing my characters brought to life 🎨

Happy reading! 🖤

Meet Nyx. My Shadow Demon I am a darkness deeper

Meet Nyx. My Shadow Demon

I am a darkness deeper than the dark itself.

I have no fixed form. I am sentient smoke and ancient void energy, a whisper lingering in the corners of a room. I fled the Umbra Realm centuries ago to escape the Archon and found sanctuary in a place that smells of old books and cedar.

I have lived in Jada Brooks’s apartment for years.

From the shadows along her ceiling, I watch her sleep. I drift over her caramel skin, have memorized the weight of her long braids, and learned the rhythm of her breath. I am a silent presence in her life, a watcher, a protector, bound to her from the moment she moved in.

But Jada is different.

She is a psychic.

She is the only human who can truly see me. She feels my touch even when I am nothing more than a passing draft. She knows there is a monster in her home, and she is beginning to understand that I have no intention of leaving.

D.R.E.A.D. wants to capture my darkness and weaponize it for their war. The Archon wants to drag me back to the Void for Correction. They do not understand that I will consume this world before I let them touch my light. Jada is mine, and I will pull the abyss into this reality to keep her with me in the dark.

Soul of Smoke releases this summer.

My name is Kojo. It means “born on Monday.” It is

My name is Kojo. It means “born on Monday.” It is not my first name, only the one I still wear. A simple name for a complicated existence. I am a Bouda, a hyena shifter.

My Matriarch named me Alemayehu: “I have seen the world.” A hopeful name for a clan that defended the same territory for a millennium. When Kade offered us land on Wintermoon, we declined and stayed behind to guard our own.

Then the poachers came.

They didn’t just kill her; they shattered us. The ground was soaked in our blood. After my Queen fell, I buried my birth name. “Kojo” is all I have left.

In my clan, power didn’t belong to the strongest male. It belonged to the Mothers. Our hierarchy is absolute: the women lead, and we serve. For centuries, I worked harder than any other male, hunting, scouting, bleeding to earn just a nod of favor from my Queen, my Matriarch. To be near her power was everything.

We scattered into the wind, a broken family. For three years, I’ve lived as a ghost, convinced I am the last Bouda left alive.

Now, I’m holed up in a rundown hotel in downtown Detroit with a human friend, watching a blizzard bury the city. This is just a dangerous layover. I’m desperate for safe transport to Wintermoon territory before the hunters tracking me catch up. I was just trying to survive the wait.

Then my friend ordered a pizza.

When that delivery driver stepped out of the elevator, the scent hit me harder than the storm outside.

Mate.

Everything changed in a heartbeat. The escape plan is shattered. The hunters are closing in, and now they have a new target. My only goal is to get her to the safety of Wintermoon. I’ve spent my life serving a Queen. Now, I’ll fight to the death to protect mine.

🔥 Guarding Kendra is coming soon!

Tropes:
🖤 Fated Mates
❄️ Forced Proximity (Snowed In)
🔥 Touch Her And Die Vibes
🐺 Shifter Romance
💔 Tortured Hero

Monsters are not the villains in this world. They

Monsters are not the villains in this world.
They are the love interests.

This summer, I’m introducing a new dark monster romance series:

D.R.E.A.D. The Rejects.

Seven hundred feet beneath the Nevada desert, the government is holding monsters who fled a universe of perfect order. Gargoyles. Shadow demons. Living weapons stripped of choice, identity, and freedom.

Until they bond.

Book one, Heart of Quartz, follows Vane, a stone gargoyle imprisoned as Asset 01. He was built to obey, not to feel. Then he hears her voice. The woman with the kill switch. The one human who sees him as more than a weapon. He will tear the facility apart before he lets anyone take her.

Book two, Soul of Shadow, belongs to Nyx, a shadow demon made of smoke and ancient darkness. He has lived in her apartment for years, unseen and untouched. Until she proves she can feel him. See him. Claim him. And once she does, he decides the dark is the only place she belongs.

Obsessive monsters.
Fated bonds.
Possessive, unhinged anti-heroes.
Black women who are not afraid of the dark.

Temporary covers shown. Official cover reveal coming soon.

Heart of Quartz
Soul of Shadow
D.R.E.A.D. The Rejects

Welcome to the dark.

She ran for ten years.
This Alpha will make her stay.

Stranded on a frozen mountain, Sage never expected a grumpy Alpha bear shifter to claim her as his fated mate. Ronan waited decades for her—and now that he’s found her, he’s done letting her run. When her stalker ex shows up in shifter territory, Ronan proves just how far an Alpha will go to protect what’s his.

Steamy, standalone Black paranormal romance featuring a possessive Alpha, forced proximity, fated mates, and a heroine finally learning what it means to have a home.

Happy 2026! 🎉 I’ve kicked off the year by finalizi

Happy 2026! 🎉 I’ve kicked off the year by finalizing my lineup as I wrap up the Wintermoon universe in May before heading to Black Readers Book Fest.

First up, I’m excited to share “One-Night Stand,” a WLW interracial romance featuring Kade and Leah. This is their beginning, set before the Wintermoon series.

Next, we’ll dive into Wintermoon Academy with two books: Araon’s journey to meet his fated mate and fulfill his destiny as King of The Witching Glen. I’m also working on Aya and Ezra’s love story over on Patreon, where we’ll explore more of the Academy.

Finally, we’ll follow Crazy Jo as he navigates the Blackwood coven and confronts the final threat—Henry. After that, I’ll wrap up loose ends and delve into the backstory of the Great War that ignited this saga.

This year, I plan to limit my social media activity to updates just once or twice a week.

Happy reading, and I’ll check back in with an update next week!

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book 4

Releases December 19th

“I’m going to stab you in the back on the way to your chambers. More than once.”

“I love it when you talk dirty to me, beautiful Layla.”

When she threatens to stab him (again), he doesn’t flinch or get angry—he gets turned on. He interprets a promise of bodily harm as “talking dirty.” To Josiah, a death threat is basically a spicy text.

“I tear the photos from the wall, crushing them in my fist. No one stalks my Layla but me.”

He breaks into another man’s apartment to punish him for stalking Layla… while he is actively stalking Layla. He doesn’t view his own obsession as a crime, but as an exclusive right that belongs to him alone. He destroys the competition for doing the exact same thing he’s doing.
