Preorder The Sentinel Agency Trilogy
Releases September 7!Buy Link: https://books2read.com/u/mg10Pv
Now available for preorder, get all three books of my #SFR series, The Sentinel Agency trilogy, in one volume:
DESTINY: Undercover operatives have discovered Delfina has the power of foresight, and they want to capture and use her. Accompanied by her emotional support animal, Delfina uses her ability to stay ahead of her pursuers. The one thing she doesn’t foresee is Rave. The Imperian male claims she’s his genetic match, but he has so many aliases that she’s not sure if he’s the good guy or the bad. Attraction ignites as they are thrown together by mysterious government agents, a wildlife trafficking syndicate, and a covert agency that recruits people with unique talents. Secrets, passion, and intrigue collide in this sci-fi romance.
TALENT: Andromeda is still trying to get used to her prosthetic arm and leg after a terrorist bombing left her injured. Through her work with the Sentinel Agency, she’s determined to stop the bad guys and keep innocent people from getting hurt.
Luka Stiles used to be the top supermodel in town. When the advertisers drop him and his film career fizzles, he’s left drowning his sorrows at the bar. He coasts along on his former fame, which happens to score him an invitation to an exclusive charity auction.
Andromeda must team up with Luka to get into that auction and hack the computers. She believes the foundation hosting it may be funneling money to terrorists, as well as trafficking in protected wildlife.
Together, Andromeda and Luka will face the rich and famous, high-tech security, evil science experiments, and government agents who aren’t at all what they appear.
STRATEGY: For years, Ryland Ward has known Dr. Casey Haven is his soulmate, but he hasn’t been able to claim her. His own cousin abandoned her and their son, leaving her with a broken heart. Ryland has waited for her to heal so he can prove he’s much more than a friend.
Casey has always been able to depend on Ryland. As a trans woman with a psychic ability to heal, she isn’t accepted by everyone. When her medical knowledge is needed for an undercover mission with Ryland, she doesn’t hesitate. She’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bad guys from deploying a biogenetic weapon that could kill everyone she loves.
With a dangerous operative plotting an attack and a black ops organization stalking the members of the Sentinel Agency, the stakes have never been higher. These star-crossed lovers will have to come together to save the universe.

Colonial Expansion Series
Because The Colony is now part of a series, it needed a fresh cover. The new artwork for it is live now, and the book got some minor re-edits. I also added a content warning to the blurb to better inform readers before they dive into the novel (e.g. the book does have a love scene and descriptions of alien monsters attacking people).
If you're a sci-fi fan, be sure to check out The Colony and look for The Frontier, coming soon!

Not everyone will make it out alive.
Responding to a distress call, Officer Alexander Valerian and the rest of his security team arrive at the human colony on the planet of Jangala to find blood and gore all over the walls. All the colonists are dead or missing except for Dr. Elisa Everett, a pretty paleontologist he finds injured and nearly suffocated in a ventilation shaft. Now Alex has to figure out how sixty-nine colonists were wiped out in a single night, but Elisa’s account of killer monsters just raises more questions. Has the colony really been attacked by bloodthirsty beasts, or did everyone succumb to a powerful hallucinogen that made them turn on one another? He had better find out fast, because Elisa’s life is in his hands.
Content: m/f romance, love scene, attacks on humans, no cliffhangers, can be read as a standalone book

Quick Book Browsing: Vampire Romance with Bite
As those who are familiar with my Elementals series and my werewolf romance Wild Side know, I’m a big fan of paranormal romance. The very first paranormal novels to hook my attention, though, were those about vampires. Some authors have taken vampires into lighter and more humorous directions, but for this post, I’m going to stick with more serious fanged favorites.
Books I Recommend:
Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles — in my opinion, you can’t truly say you’re a vampire fan if you haven’t read at least a few books in this series
J.R. Ward’s Blackdagger Brotherhood series — the word “badass” comes to mind, since this series is full of aggressive vampires, action, and hot love scenes
Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series — I love the Wroth brothers, along with just about every other supernatural character in this series
Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed series — plenty of edgy and an interesting take on vampire origins
Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter series — I enjoy the mythology mixed in
Angela Knight’s Mageverse series — King Arthur and vampires? Sign me up!
Christine Feehan’s Dark/Carpathian series — has both good Carpathians and the nasty vampires they can turn into
Allie Ritch’s Vampire Territory series — contemporary (but with an alternate history), and the books have plenty of action and spicy love scenes
Jennifer Turner’s Darkness Within series — edgy and original
Jessica Sorenson’s Darkness Falls
Melissa R. Smith’s Six hours to Sunrise
Jacquelyn Frank’s Drink of Me
Carissa Broadbent’s The Serpent and the Wings of Night
