A strong-willed Southern woman living her dream life in Paris, Lexie Miles is devastated when her best friend Emma is brutally murdered by vampires. From that moment her “dream life” begins to crumble. She discovers that not only was Emma living a double life, but her boss Tom Grant is as well. She is plunged into a 500 year old secret that takes her on an unimaginable path. When her mother, Cassie, comes to Paris for her thirtieth birthday, Lexie is bequeathed with a birthright that gives her super being abilities and the dubious gift of being the “Chosen One”. Her entire life has been a lie, and she is pissed. Meeting Etienne Benoit, head of a secret society, she is inexplicably drawn to him, and she ignites in him a sizzling desire that refuses to be ignored. Etienne reveals his story and Emma’s link to the Society and her brilliant perfection of two antiserums. Lexie must come to terms with the concept that she may be falling in love with a vampire. She reluctantly accepts her legacy and along with Tom and Etienne travels to the headquarters of the Society in Southern France. They receive an e-mail from Emma that reveals the first clue in what proves to be a race against time and the dark forces that threaten to destroy everything Etienne has created. A traitor lurks among them and they have no idea who it is. As war rages across the land Lexie, Etienne and Tom hunt frantically to find the antiserum that Emma hid before she was murdered. Lexie’s kidnapping and Tom’s death at the hands of Etienne’s son Francois and his partner Marielle spurs Etienne to take drastic action. The result leaves Lexie alone and despairing that she will never see her love again. Unwilling to accept this fate, she enlists the help of Kendrick McDonough, a Scotsman and Etienne’s second in command. Kendrick becomes her friend, trainer and mentor. Lexie vows she will never give up on Etienne. She will find a way to return him to the light side.

My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education. Taking after my mother, I’ve always love to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations. For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who both graduated this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books. Currently I am writing five series of books- The Last Riders, The VIP Room, Predators MC, Biker Bitches, and The Dark Souls. All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”![]() The Animal Under

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play -- EXCERPT: When he strolled in, Lord Arthur Finch-Hatton, the Earl of Severn, was still staring straight ahead at the window that overlooked the crowded streets of central London, so Gen’s first look at him was his profile. Morning sunlight streaming in the window clung to his golden skin. His cheekbones were hard slashes, and his jaw was a sharp right angle above the crisp, white collar of the dress shirt and black business suit he wore. His lush lips curved in a smile, as if looking over London from such a prestigious advantage suited him. The subtle lift of his chin and roll of his broad shoulders suggested that, had history been different, he might have ruled the land that spread beneath the window. He turned to survey the rest of the room and caught Gen sitting at the table, gaping at him. Oh, God. She was staring. He always caught her staring. She was staring at the black curls of his dark hair that stroked his ears and the back of his neck, and she was staring at the way his very precisely tailored suit skimmed his strong shoulders and the rounded biceps of his arms and then narrowed at his waist and hips, and she was staring at his extravagant height and his long legs and the way his head tilted with amusement as he caught her staring at him again. Gen’s brain turned to goo. Damn, Lord Severn was one gorgeous man. The goo in her mind grew fuzzy tendrils, and cotton candy filled her skull and stopped up her ears. Her thoughts slowed as she met his eyes. My God. His eyes. His eyes weren’t blue or gray or any color that she had ever seen on a real human being before. His eyes shimmered with an unexpected delight and intelligence. They narrowed when he smiled that good-natured, natural smile that beckoned to her. And most of all, his eyes sparkled silver and were bounded by a dark blue ring. They changed color depending on the light, from baby blue to silvery-gray and all the shades in-between. Gen saw all the variations as he turned his face from the sunlight toward her. They were beguiling, magical, unearthly. That was not damn fair. Gen had heard about peoples’ knees weakening, but she was already sitting down. Still, her bones turned to soft clay, and she grabbed the sides of her chair because she was in danger of slithering out of it and onto the carpeting under the conference room table. Lord Severn walked toward her. It was customary for barristers to stand when greeting a client. She should stand up. You really should stand up. Stand up, dammit. Gen gripped the sides of her chair and pushed with her arms to lift herself to her feet. Even though too-tall Gen was wearing blunt, two-inch heels, Lord Severn was still inches taller than she was. At least four inches. Which meant he was at least six-four. Blathering. Her brain was blathering. His tie was the same azure-silver as his eyes but glimmering silk. Dizziness spun her head, and she gasped for air because she had forgotten how to breathe. At her stupid sucking sound, Lord Severn smiled, though it was a sad smile like he regretted that his mere presence was overwhelming her so. He pulled out a chair on the other side of the table. “I was terribly sorry to hear about Horace Lindsey’s untimely death. He was an excellent barrister and a family friend.” Even though it was only eleven-thirty in the morning, Lord Severn’s breath carried a faint whiff of whiskey under the mint, like he had just come from a gentleman’s brunch. Gen’s mind searched for words. Any words. Wut arrre werdz. She gathered her brain together and squeezed something out. “Yes, it was a great loss to us all,” she managed.

BREAKING PROMISES (BBOY #1) EXCERPT
The very first result had a thumbnail…of my crazed face! I was shaking uncontrollably, but still had the mind to hit ‘Play’ on the video. Some horribly edited auto-tune began to blast from my speakers. Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! I will beat your twig ass! Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! Toxic Chic My vision was tinged with red. Somebody made a fucking remix of our argument and I had an inkling of who did. I threw my head back, letting out a war cry, and immediately jumped to my feet. Clemence and Katy were stilled, staring at me as if I had grown two heads. It didn’t even occur to me to grab my purse, keys, or anything else before I opened the door. I didn’t care how I was going to see Mitch—I’d walk the ten miles to his apartment if I needed to. Of course, I didn’t have to go so far. I flung the door open and found the chagrined looking b-boy standing awkwardly at my doorstep. “You!” I growled. From behind me the video still ran, playing on an unending auto-play loop. Mitch glanced behind me and grimaced. “So you saw?” “It’s fucking viral!” I growled angrily. At least Clemence had the decency to shut my computer off. “I swear, it wasn’t my fault.” I snorted. “What an apology. How long did it take you to think that excuse up?”
