10th Anniversary Aurora Sky Special Editions Duo
A duo to die for. ;-)
It's been 10 years since Aurora Sky first took up her dagger...and got to work on her infamous list of resolutions.
To celebrate this mighty milestone, I've created stunning special edition duos, including hardcovers with custom character portraits under the new cover jacket. These will be available at retailers sometime around fall 2023, but if you want the brand-new bonus content, you'd best head to Kickstarter by November 17th before these exclusive editions melt away.

Get Ready For Bears in the Next Wolf Hollow Shifters Novel
I've enjoyed them so much, but they are leaving at auction October 16th. A fresh batch will pop up in Spring 2022.
Post on my website: https://nikkijefford.com/bearseverywh...
The natural world is a place of great beauty, serenity, and discovery. I have been so fortunate to live in scenic places: from my home state of Alaska, sunny California, the high desert of Central Oregon, the San Juan Islands off Washington State, and Bellingham, WA, to my new hometown of Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Meadow by Shayna Landreth
The Blue Ridge Mountains have provided a beautiful backdrop as I finish the Wolf Hollow Shifters series. It's been an epic (and exhausting) journey from coast to coast. All of the moves and upheaval over the last five years slowed my book release schedule tremendously. But now here I am, settling in once more, working on the FINAL WHS novel! (I'm excited to tell you more about Forever Free soon.)
In this post, I want to share some of Hendersonville's 2021 Bearfootin' Bears.
Buttercup Kisses by Linda Allen
Homer by Shayna Landreth
These playful sculptures take up residence along downtown Main Street from summer until they are auctioned off in the fall to benefit local non-profits and Downtown Hendersonville.
Centennial and Kiwi by Abigail Buckman
Bearer of Light by Jennifer Camp
Shoot for the Stars by Patricia Sweet
Hey, look. It's Uranus! ;-)
They change every year, so I will share the new batch of bears next season!
Home Sweet Home: Mama Bear and Patch by Heidi Mayfield
If you want to know which bear is my favorite, you can find out in the Author's Note at the back of Bear Claimed this November.
Until then, remember this sage Advice from a Bear:
Live Large Climb Beyond Your Limitations When Life Gets Hairy, Grin and Bear It Eat Well Live With the Seasons Take a Good Long Nap! Look After Your Honey!
Bear Claimed is Now Available to Pre-Order

Love made her crazy. A reckless act of passion sealed her fate.
There is only so much rejection a woman can take. Taryn is losing patience with her brother's best friend. He said he'd claim her. Then grief made him ask for more time. She gave him time. And more time.
When the cur falls for another female in the pack, Taryn isn't heartbroken--she's furious. Livid enough to seek out the rugged bear shifter who has been skulking around Wolf Hollow's borders.
He was duped once before. Brutus isn't letting the next female get away so easily.
The wizards stole his ancestors' mountain community then tricked him out of a mate. He and his brothers are going to make the Wolf Hollow shifters sorry for the part they played.
When a spirited female wolf throws herself, literally, into his arms, Brutus is forced to choose between the feisty beauty he wishes to claim and his duty to avenge his family against the wizards and wolves.
Can a wolf and a bear become true mates?

The Forever Princess
While The Forever Princess is technically the final book in the Royal Conquest Saga (book 8), this book stands complete on its own. So, if sexy, brooding vampires are your thing, I invite you to read the last book first... or on its own... or whatever mix-and-match kind of bibliophile best represents you.
It started out as a dare...
Get the name and number of the cute guy at the club. I don't back down from dares, and I definitely don't cower for vampires.
Turns out cute guy is Undead guy...
with terrible taste in she vamps. The vixen tries to steal the clan's magic cup, excuse me. I mean Eternal Chalice. But I intervene.
These boys got bite.
Instead of a thank you, the guy's imposing older brother attempts to compel me into forgetting everything that went down. I don't think so. Guess they've never met an elf-Fae before. Fabian is the no nonsense, commanding head of his clan. Fine suits and no humor, but that's about to change.
A rival clan is after the chalice...
and now they want me, too. Turns out my elven-Fae blood is like an aphrodisiac to them. But I got the drop on them once before, I can do it again.
Never Underestimate a Fae Princess in Pink.
My newfound friends need me more than they realize. Mr. Moody Broody definitely needs more sparkle in his life. Me? I should really keep away from crazed bloodsuckers who want to drain me dry. But I'm finding it difficult to stay away from vampires altogether. Fabian and I are turning into a classic case of opposites attract.

Coming of Age Gay Books - Inspiration Behind The Golden Prince
🏳️🌈 Happy Pride Month!
At the end of THREE KINGS (Royal Conquest Saga book 3), I had it in my head that I would like to set Lark up with Zelie. But Lark wasn't having any of that. I tried to find him another female and finally he said, "No, you're not getting it, girly. I'm GAY!" What followed was a panic attack. "I don't know anything about that. How am I supposed to write your love story, dude?"
So, I turned to books. (Best solution to pretty much EVERYTHING.) A search led to CARRY ON and WAYWARD SON in the brilliant Simon Snow series, by one of my favorite authors, Rainbow Rowell. I listened to the audiobooks narrated by Euan Morton… and never laughed aloud so much while enjoying these outlandish tales of wizardry, vampires, magic, mystery, and love against all odds. I've pre-order book 3 which releases July 6. SO excited!!!
💛👑 Writing Lark and Crispin's coming of age, enemies-to-lovers, slow burn - then 🔥 burn - MM romance filled me with pride & joy. His family is just as proud and as accepting, making for an extra happily ever after I wish every child received.
LOVE is a bright and beautiful gift.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
THE GOLDEN PRINCE is up for pre-order, releasing on all major online book retailers June 24.

Nook | Kobo | Google Play
Never cross a Fae prince. And for Sky's sake, don't fall in love with one determined to ruin you.
Crispin
Lark Elmray is a show-off and a shameless flirt. The highborn females don't understand the game he's playing, but I do.
Everything changed after he became the golden boy, protector of the crown and a powerful wielder of fire magic. Get too close and he's likely to light a faerie on fire.
I made the mistake of mocking him as a child. Lark hasn't forgotten. I can see it in the wicked gleam of his eyes every time he looks my way. But that's not the worst of it. To admit the truth would burn me from the inside out before Lark ever conjured a single flame.
Lark
Half elf. Half Fae. For most of my life, the illustrious citizens of Dahlquist scorned me for being a halfling prince born into an unconventional family. The gentry would sooner sneer than curtsy . . . Until I showed them what I was capable of. Now they fawn and clamor for my favor. But I will never forget past cruelties. I will make them regret every insult to me and my family. At the top of my list is Crispin Maglen, Earl of Ashcraw.
He'll always be at the top. But there's no taking him down. Not unless I fall with him.
It's all getting a bit out of control. I have family squabbling over me, females flinging themselves into my arms, assassins and kidnappers trying to take me down . . . And don't get me started on the monster in the forest.
