BONUS Wedding Scene
Have you had a chance to make YOUR return trip back to Pine Ridge?
I know many of you have - somewhat reluctantly. I get it. You don't want to like Kayla or Spencer. Or you think that because they were such jerks in previous books, they shouldn't get their HEA.
Which is one of the reasons I wrote their story. I like a challenge. And now I'm challenging YOU. Read it, and see for yourself.
Two of a Kind: A Callaghan Family & Friends Romance
You might be pleasantly surprised. Besides, holding a grudge isn't healthy :-)
Oh - and for those who are up to the challenge, I have a special FREE BONUS gift for you. All subscribers to my monthly newsletter will receive a link to Spencer and Kayla's wedding scene - an 8,000 word extra -
as my thanks to you.

Welcome Back to Pine Ridge!
It's been a while since I've visited the Callaghan world. Writing Spencer and Kayla's story was so much fun. It felt a lot like coming home!
They make great characters, too. They don't have to be good. Everyone already sees them as bad guys, so they don't expect them to do the right thing. They can be deliciously wicked, and that's perfectly okay.
But here's the thing - people aren't always what they appear to be. Villains aren't always pure evil, and the people we put up on a pedestal aren't always as perfect as we think they are.
And that makes a great story.
Not convinced? Check out Two of a Kind: A Callaghan Family & Friends Romance and decide for yourself.

New Paranormal Romantic Suspense!
The love that Gemma and Viktor have for each other is the stuff of legends. But can it survive even death?
Many times authors find a formula that works and they stick with it. Me? I'm all over the place. One day I'll write military romance; the next, one of the characters from from my sweet or funny novellas will be whispering in my ear. And sometimes, a darker muse settles in and refuses to leave until that story is told.
I tend to listen to my muses, which is why each of my stories is unique. It's a little scary, too, because I never know how each new book is going to be received.
Fortunately, early results on The Jewel are overwhelmingly positive. And the thing my readers are telling me most often about it? They never saw "it" coming (sorry, if you want to know what "it" is, you're going to have to read the book)
So...If you like your paranormal romantic suspense on the sexier, darker side, check out the latest from Avelyn McCrae (the darker alter ego of me, Abbie Zanders)!

NEW RELEASE!
Fallen Angel: Mythic Series, Book 2 is now available on Amazon (and free on Kindle Unlimited)!
Fate or free will?
Cynical human businessman David Michael Corrigan is a real take-charge kind of guy. Supremely confident, this multimillionaire has no tolerance for brown-nosing sycophants or parasitic bottom feeders looking for a free ride.
When a scruffy-looking young woman shows up at his front door late one night to “help” his dying mother, he’s sure it’s a scam. The only reason he allows her to step foot in his house is because his mother likes her. It has nothing to do with the fact that she has the biggest, prettiest gray eyes he’s ever seen, or that he can’t seem to stop thinking about her.
Ryssa has enough to deal with. Earth-bound and indentured in servitude in a Demon-run club, her best friend is a serial-killer’s ghost and she lives in crummy apartment with a lactose-intolerant vampire. She doesn’t need the scathing derision of a close-minded, condescending mortal male.
Too bad her angelic nature won’t allow her to forsake the powerfully good soul hiding beneath all that bristling arrogance. Nor will his conscience allow him to ignore his instincts that there is so much more beneath the surface of that beautiful, defensive street rat.
Each books in my Mythic series are fully standalone, with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
