Saving Jace is free—grab it now! 🐾
He’s not just a cat shifter… he’s your next obsession!
You’re barely keeping it together—grief, bills, and a teenage brother who needs you to be the strong one. Romance? Not on the agenda.
Then he shows up. Bleeding. Dangerous. Beautiful. A black panther shifter with haunted eyes and secrets that could shatter your world.
You order him to leave.
"Can't," he says.
"Can't?" you huff.
And gasp as he slides sideways, boneless as a ragdoll...

Fallen Is Up for Pre-order!
The next book in my Vampire Syndicate series is up for pre-order!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
You can now preorder this white-hot enemies-to-lovers novel on Apple, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords! (More stores coming soon)
Here's a taste <3
The curtain parted. A woman in a slinky black dress stood on the stage, her long hair swept forward over one shoulder to expose her nape. The silky fabric dipped low in the back, an erotic frame for the rose-and-dagger tattoo that traced the length of her spine like a crimson scar.
I eyed her without really seeing her, my mind on my father. Then my jaw dropped. A shock of recognition pierced me like a nail to the chest. My already slow-pumping lungs simply…stopped.
— Excerpt from Fallen (Vampire Syndicate, Book 4)
TWILIGHT
You don't quit Slayers, Inc.
But to save a friend, I stake my alpha and disappear, hoping my superiors will believe I’ve died along with my alpha.
But a member of SI's shadowy Board of Directors tracks me down. One last job, he says, and he'll make things right for me with the organization.
The catch? I'm forced to go undercover as a blood thrall in the dangerous world of vampire syndicates.
BRIEN
Twilight shouldn't be up for sale. She made it clear she'd never be anyone's thrall.
But there she is, the main attraction at a private auction. The woman I'd do anything, pay any amount to have.
So I buy her.
But is she who she's pretending to be? Or have I brought the means of my own destruction directly into my bedroom?

Pre-order Sea Dragon's Hunger now!
My latest book combines my Fada Shapeshifters world with the BAD Alpha Dads project. It's also a second chance romance, one of my favorite kind of stories. <3
A child in danger. A dad with a secret. A second chance at love.
Four years ago, Irish shifter Cassidy O’Byrne fell hard for a sexy Latino from the Rock Run Clan. Nic do Rio was dark, brooding—and irresistible. But Nic was keeping a secret, and in the end he left, unknowingly leaving her expecting their baby.
An orphan herself, Cassidy loves her three-year-old daughter with all her heart. But Nic’s secret makes the little girl invaluable to the fae. When a powerful fae comes for Rianna, Cassidy runs with her to the only man who might be able to save them—Nic.
Nic never expected to get a second chance with Cassidy, but he wants both her and his daughter with all the hunger of his dark, brooding heart. Will the pair find love, only to lose their daughter to the fae?
NOTE: Sea Dragon's Hunger is Book 4.5 in the Fada Shapeshifters Series, set in the California Sea Fada world. All books are standalone with an HEA, but the stories interconnect. If you love dark alpha shifters and intense emotional storylines, this book is for you.
Out March 27! http://rebeccarivard.com/new-and-upco...
