The wait between Wolf Hollow books is almost over! If you're feeling a bit rusty about hollow happenings, you're in good company. Hailey (from Glenn Meadows) finds herself surrounded by unfamiliar faces when her pack's soothsayer sends her to Wolf Hollow to meet the sexy, pureblooded, Latino brothers Rafael and Diego.
🍬 Oh so SWEET & SPICY. 🌶️ Like a piñata, there's a wonderful goodie waiting for you inside the pages of ANIMAL ATTRACTION.
Things got a bit wild in this book - especially at the end. I found myself with new characters (outside the hollow) whose love story was just beginning.
I've spent the last month and a half working on PRIMAL BONDS, a nearly 30,000-words bonus novella only available through a secret link at the back of ANIMAL ATTRACTION. This is an exclusive perk for pre-ordering or purchasing book five.
Both the novel and novella are steaming hot tales of multicultural couples. I went through an avalanche of emotions uncovering their past lives and courage to love and trust with their whole hearts. I'm overflowing with excitement to welcome you back to the world of Wolf Hollow this month!
Apple, Kobo, Nook, Google Play & more coming soon.

Animal Attraction (Wolf Hollow Shifters #5) Cover Reveal
It's shirts off time in Wolf Hollow!! Here's another beauty designed by Najla Qamber. I'm over the moon with cover love! 😍📕
If you read MOON CURSED (WHS#4), you got the "Tail End" tease about Rafael and Hailey at the end of the book.
Here's a fun fact: Bridgerton (the addictive Netflix series based on the book by Julia Quinn) served not only as a swoony binge-watch-a-thon, but as creative inspiration.
Rafael has no interest in ever claiming a mate or having children, as he makes clear in MOON CURSED. Then along comes Hailey from Glenn Meadows. She's beautiful, poised, witty, and comes from the very best stock - a pureblood. (High society among post-apocalyptic wolves.) 😆
Despite their attraction and blossoming friendship, Rafael stubbornly refuses to claim Hailey. She, in turn, comes to realize that he would rather be miserable and alone than happy with her.
What I wanted to know was WHY??!!
A light bulb went off in my head while watching the character of Simon Basset battle emotional scars left behind by his father.
I'm fascinated with the way childhood trauma effects development and later choices. Rafael's is different than Simon's. This wolf shifter's motives aren't driven by revenge, but the fear of history repeating itself. It's the kind of thing that will make you want to strangle the sense into him, and it's also heartbreaking as life so often is.
But this is Wolf Hollow where the couples follow their hearts against all odds and love conquers all! (HEA high-five!) 🙌
I can't wait for you to return to the hollow and spend time in the fresh air with the pack.
Early summer release. Sign up for my newsletter to find out when ANIMAL ATTRACTION is available for pre-order and release. Until then, take good care, find the beauty, and run forever free.
xo, Nikki

What was only supposed to be a standalone novel turned into an EIGHT book saga! Oh. Sweet. Berries! It's been an adventure and a passion project from start to finish. I feel like I pulled pieces of my heart out of my chest and left them on the pages.
About:
Never underestimate a Fae princess in pink.
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 his clan’s magic cup, excuse me, I mean Eternal Chalice. But I intervene.
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. He thinks it’s his duty to keep me safe.
A rival clan is after the chalice and now they want me, too. Apparently, my elven Fae blood is like an aphrodisiac to them.
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.

World to Ourselves
Graylee Perez doesn't like Valentine's much. Hmm. Maybe it has something to do with what happened to her this month. Happy heart's day indeed! 🖤☠️
Raj: “Why do you look so worried, Gray? I haven’t forgotten our arrangement. Anyway, I won’t be needing magic to get your shirt off.”
Gray: “And what does that mean?”
Raj: “We’d make a powerful couple, you and me. We’ve got a lot in common. Think about it.”
Gray: “You really want the invisibility spell that bad? Well, forget it. I’m not giving it to you and I wouldn’t go out with you if you were the last person on earth.”
Raj: “That’d be nice. You, me, and the world to ourselves.”
Gray: “Sounds like my idea of hell.”
Raj: “At least in hell we could be wicked.”
Gray: “You’re wicked enough already.”
