Who— What am I?

When Lexi wakes up in a hospital room, she doesn’t even know her own name. But she does know one thing, she’d like the hot guy hovering over her bed to stick around. As she fights to regain her memories, she’s faced with a horrifying truth she doesn’t want—she can shift into a huge lion. And if that’s not enough of a shock, the sexy man who claims to be her mate can turn into a tiger.

Tristan is beside himself with worry over Lexi’s amnesia. The woman he wants to marry doesn’t recognize the love she has for him or the lion inside her. As he helps her heal physically and emotionally he battles with a secret he is afraid to reveal, because when the truth comes out he could lose her again. And this time it could be forever.

From the bestselling author of Trail of Broken Wings comes an epic story of the unrelenting force of love, the power of healing, and the invincible desire to dream.

Nothing prepares Jaya, a New York journalist, for the heartbreak of her third miscarriage and the slow unraveling of her marriage in its wake. Desperate to assuage her deep anguish, she decides to go to India to uncover answers to her family’s past.

Intoxicated by the sights, smells, and sounds she experiences, Jaya becomes an eager student of the culture. But it is Ravi—her grandmother’s former servant and trusted confidant—who reveals the resilience, struggles, secret love, and tragic fall of Jaya’s pioneering grandmother during the British occupation. Through her courageous grandmother’s arrestingly romantic and heart-wrenching story, Jaya discovers the legacy bequeathed to her and a strength that, until now, she never knew was possible.

She’s a sexy gamer in danger. He’s a bodyguard with a secret.
Ex-Army Texas boy Owen Harding fears only one thing—his inner beast. A year in Agent Smith’s experimental cages has changed his wolf into something monstrous. But a hate group is hunting the Wilding pack, so Owen’s serving again, this time as bodyguard. If only the girl he’s protecting wasn’t so damn sexy… and completely off limits.

Nova Wilding’s father was assassinated, leaving her a gaming company to run, a new game to release, and a pack full of wolves who want her for a mate… including a beta who’s determined to have Nova and her company. When a bomb goes off in her car, Nova finds herself in her sexy bodyguard’s arms… but he’s absolutely the wrong man at the wrong time.

While Nova fights to keep her gaming company afloat, and Owen fights to keep her alive, the hate group circles closer and closer… until they both find that falling in love might be the most dangerous game of all.

WILD GAME is a complete novel with HEA, the first in the Wilding Pack Wolves series. All stories are standalone, but for maximum reader enjoyment, start with the River Pack Wolves trilogy.

Contains scorching hot shifters, alpha military heroes, and sexy female gamers. Only readers over 18 should dive into the dangerously hot world of the Wilding Pack Wolves.

The things that go bump in the night are supposed to be headboards, not monsters.

Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break. My best friend just hired me for a great job. It's not anything special, simply managing the leasing office of this very fancy and highly exclusive neighborhood, yet the perks mean I get my second chance.

Speaking of perks, my rent-free house is right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. Maybe I can't remember the last date I was on, but if I want to master being a strong woman, then this is a good place to start. It's just dating, right?

Normal life stuff.
Not so much.

Everyone around us has these strange golden eyes. Then there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard. I have a kid to worry about. Things have got to change before someone gets bitten!

Normal is going out the window, and fast. My neighbors say I don't belong here, and they don't mean because I'm Hispanic. Never mind that I just heard a man growl. Now they're talking about fated somethings, and I'm pretty sure they mean me.

I feel like I'm going crazy!

Because when I said I wanted to learn how to be strong, this wasn't what I meant at all. Still, when it comes to taking care of my little girl, I will definitely learn how to be the biggest bitch on the block.

I just hope that doesn't become literal.

Ten years ago, Tabby Russell married the man of her dreams. Or so she thought. The reformed rake had seemed vastly appealing when she was younger, but as life marched on and his old habits returned, Tabby realized too late that she should have chosen wiser when facing the marriage altar.

But there is no undoing the decisions of the past or avoiding the ensuing consequences. Even if Tabby wishes otherwise.

Overwhelmed by her husband’s irresponsible lifestyle and suffocating debt, Tabby’s life unravels around her until she is forced to relinquish her home and privileged life to become a lowly servant to a most irritating and demanding sailor.

Captain Graham Ashbrook loves the sea and the navy, but between one breath and the next, that life is ripped away from him when a French cannonball strikes his ship. Crippled and desperate, Graham finds himself trapped at his sister’s estate as he struggles to heal his broken body and reclaim what he lost—at any cost.

But when his sister hires an intriguing and far too beguiling nurse to watch over him, Graham finds himself wondering if a life on land might not be such an awful thing. Even if the lady in question is determined to keep him at arm’s length…

There's one main rule to follow at Wardoff Academy:
Shifters and witches don't mix.

That becomes a problem the moment I accidentally land on the shifter side of the barrier and onto the radar of four hot alpha male werewolves.

I am the talk of my small witch community after I get accepted to the Wardoff Academy, originally founded by a witch I happened to be named after. And ever since then, I have been haunted by dreams of her past, when she and her star-crossed lover, a shifter, met a tragic end. The end that set up the years of hatred between witches and shifters.

But something pulls me to the four devilishly handsome werewolves on the other side of the academy, and I can't stay away. And there's a chance my dreams and these shifters may be connected, so I just hope I don't get caught and ruin everything I worked so hard for.

Then Jes meets Kalliarkos, and an unlikely friendship between two Fives competitors--one of mixed race and the other a Patron boy--causes heads to turn. When Kal's powerful, scheming uncle tears Jes's family apart, she'll have to test her new friend's loyalty and risk the vengeance of a royal clan to save her mother and sisters from certain death.

Willow

Run, run, run!

They're chasing me, even into my dreams.

And when I awake, I see him. Striking blue eyes with a hint of the devil inside. He's my savior and my worst nightmare combined.

Because he owns me.
He found me.
He saved me.

But I don't want to be owned. I want to be free. Even if it kills me.

Ryder

I needed a diversion, a plaything, something to distract me from this perpetual boredom. And she appeared as if the Almighty above had heard my prayers.

Or, more accurately, the devil.

Because I'm not a good man. Humanity died inside me long ago. It was what I needed to survive.

But she's such a pretty little thing. I think I'll keep her and make her mine. At least for a little while. Humans are so fragile, after all.

Welcome to Ryder Region.
It might not be mine yet, but it will be soon.
For I haven't lived this long by playing nice.
I prefer to bite.

Zane Walker aligned himself with Lawson and his kind in their fight for shifter rights. He can’t ignore the call to help when he sees the injustice. Likely because he is a half-breed. It doesn’t matter if he can’t shift and has few characteristics in common with them, ensuring their safety becomes his top priority. The laws previously in place regarding shifters do nothing to protect them when they are attacked from all sides. 

If he hadn’t been invested before he met Brenlee he would have jumped on board to ensure she was safe. The sexy shifter captures his interest and holds it. Dangers rise and the last thing either of them need is to become more involved. Soon it’s not safe for shifters to venture outside the confines of Safe Haven. Zane’s life is on the line and only his suppressed shifter side can save him. Will he be able to connect to his dormant animal before he perishes?

She’s stumbled into a lair of desperate dragons—and she’s just the thing they need.

I really messed this up.
Pinned to the floor by a billionaire playboy, caught stealing files from his computer.
“I’m trying to decide whether to kiss you or lock you up,” he says.
“Kiss me, and there will be blood. Not mine, either.”
He just smiles. Rich, powerful, probably used to getting anything he wants.

I’m just here to find my sister—I suspect he and his band of playboys have trafficked her and who knows how many others. I’m here for them too. Eventually.

But now I’m shackled to the wall in his dungeon—a literal dungeon in a literal castle tucked in one of the Thousand Islands at the border of Canada.

I really messed this up.

Ember’s a hot-shot reporter. Niko’s the sexy Lord of the Lair determined to find his soul mate… and he’ll do whatever it takes to save his people from extinction.

My Dragon Lord is a steamy dragon shifter romance that’ll heat up the sheets with love and warm your heart with dragonfire.

Here's a free preview from chapter one of this steamy dystopian romance especially for you!

Pain reverberated through her nose. Nova reached out to the wall to steady herself, but her hand landed on something warm. Startled, she opened her eyes. A muscled chest consumed her gaze, and her fingers trailed over the hard cords of muscle. It looked so different from her own chest, there were nipples, but they were much smaller than her own.
"Hello there, my name is Cay. What's yours?"
The chest rumbled as the silky deep baritone spoke. She raised her eyes until they stopped on a square jaw covered in short jet-black hair. Letting go of the chest, she ran her fingers through the hair. A man, this must be a real live man! Hundreds of years had gone by with only rumors of men since the virus killed them off. She'd heard there was one here at Gu'Kano Colony, but she'd never expected him to be real, let alone run into him.
"I know you have a name, everyone does." A large hand covered her own on his chin.
"Nova." Her voice cracked as she gazed up into his stormy grey eyes.
"Nova." It rolled off his tongue, causing her to shiver in anticipation. What would it feel like pressed against that hard body?
She shook her head to clear the thoughts out. No way was she going to let this distract her. "Excuse—" She cleared her throat and tried again. "Excuse me, I didn't see you there. It was nice to meet you, Cay, but I have somewhere to be." She hurried away before she lost her resolve.
The supply office, she had to get to the supply office and do something. There was something she needed to do at the supply office.
Footsteps behind her got louder.
She opened her stride to put distance between her and Cay. The requisition form! She had to file a requisition form at the supply office.
Booming steps invaded her ears.
Quick, there was a lift available. If she could get there before him, she could close the doors and keep him out. With a quick inhale, she tightened her muscles and burst into a sprint for the lift door. Her heart leaped when she slid through the doors, and she punched the button continuously in desperation because they had to close before Cay caught up. Nova let out a calming breath as the doors shut.
A hand appeared between the doors and they kicked open. Cay stepped inside and leaned against the wall. She would not look at the rippling of his muscles as he crossed his arms. Why wasn't he wearing a shirt?

Welcome to Sugar Maple

Sugar Maple may look like your postcard-perfect Vermont town but that’s where the similarity ends. Our librarian is a beautiful Norwegian troll. The funeral parlor is run by a family of vampires. The Sugar Maple Inn is owned by Fae while the werewolves keep our hardware store well-stocked. For centuries we have been home to house sprites, witches, selkies, spirits, shapeshifters, and elves.

And who could forget Forbes, our lovable Mountain Giant?

I’m Chloe Hobbs, the half-human/half-magick owner of Sticks & String, the most popular knit shop in New England, where your yarn never tangles, you always get gauge, and the knitter sitting next to you only comes out after dark. And did I mention that I’m almost thirty, single, and with no prospects in sight? My friends and neighbors have been casting spells to help me find Mr. Right but so far their efforts have been all wrong.

Who'd have guessed I'd find my soulmate in Luke MacKenzie, a cop investigating Sugar Maple's very first murder? Bad news is he's 100% human which could spell disaster for a normal future with a paranormal woman like me--in love, in danger, and in way over my head.

Romantic Times Book Club – 4.5 stars – TOP PICK
Bretton launches her new series of magic and murder with an enchanting, lyrical masterpiece that should make its way to the bestseller list in no time. Brilliantly weaving the town of Sugar Maple with that of its inhabitants into one living, breathing entity, this novel captivates readers from the first page. With vibrant, multidimensional characters, including the town itself, Bretton pens a memorable romance that combines knitting, love, magic, and self-discovery.

Publishers Weekly
Tongue-in-cheek humor lifts this weird but fun hybrid, part knitting cozy, part paranormal romance, from romance veteran Bretton (Just Desserts). After a classy female tourist drowns mysteriously in an icy lake in remote Sugar Maple, Vt., the Montpelier authorities ask Boston homicide cop Luke MacKenzie to investigate. As Sugar Maple's temporary police chief, Luke soon notices the village's odd ambience. Originally a haven for witches who fled the Salem witchcraft trials three centuries earlier, Sugar Maple is now home to witches, vampires, fairies and trolls. Luke is also attracted to Chloe Hobbs, the half-human owner of the knitting shop Sticks & Strings, who must find Mr. Right if she's to preserve the spell that sustains the town's unusual residents. As sparks literally fly between the two, Chloe's "magickal" side stirs into life. Bretton charmingly depicts how love empowers Chloe and awakens Luke to some major surprises.

What the ....?

Special Agent Jason Raige is a complete failure as an FBI agent, but it wasn't like they gave him a choice. He could serve his country or sit in a military prison. He chose to serve. Now, they have him on a case that's impossible to solve.

Still, he won't give up. Catching these bastards is the only way he knows to keep his own demons at bay. The doctors call it PTSD. He calls it living hell. Even worse, the only one he can talk to about it is his service dog.

Until he meets her.

All of this was supposed to be a boring side mission, and even speaking to her is crossing so many lines, but he doesn't care. Fuck the rules. Finally, he's found someone who makes him feel whole. He knows he should stay away, but this time, he can change the story. He can finally stop things before it's too late.

But doing so will break him.
And there's not a whole lot left to put back together.

Sometimes being a psychic is murder.

Especially when you're one of the psychics on the killer's hit list.

While attending a funeral of a colleague, psychics Trudy Tucker and Levi Wolfe realize that this death is one of several "accidental demises" of clairvoyants in the small, quirky town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Trudy begins receiving visions from the murderer, putting her on the hunt to expose the killer. Levi, on the other hand, wants to be far, far away from the Ozark town, and his anxiety has little to do with the string of murders.

As the noose tightens around this band of psychics, Trudy and Levi are drawn into it, making themselves both the hunters and the hunted. It's a mind-bending game of cat and mouse, but which one is which?
