 Rhyne Castille has been viewing the world in black and white since he was turned. He’s gone decades seeing the world only in shades of gray, when suddenly there’s a change. The grass is green, the leaves are turning colors, and he can see it all…but how? It has to be the blood he’s been imbibing, and he’s determined to find out who it belongs to.

 Grace Lockhart prides herself in donating blood as often as possible, seeing as she has one of the rarest blood types. Little does she know just what her blood can do for certain types of people, and what that could cost her.

 When one of Rhyne’s nestmates gets a taste of the AB negative blood and realizes the benefits, Rhyne knows the man will stop at nothing until he captures the source to keep for himself. Rhyne has no choice but to protect her at all costs, even if it means turning on one of his own.

As good as Grace’s blood tastes, she’s given him more than just his color sight back. She’s made him feel love again. And that alone was worth more than life itself.

 Warning! Contains a dollar store, blood dumping, a diversionary tactic, a collision x 2, nests, an orange shirt, a cardinal rule, a deer carcass, and one man fighting his feelings as he fights for the life of the woman he's come to love.

Six on Sunday - BULLETPROOF, a Sensuous Dark Paranormal Romance

Six paragraphs from BULLETPROOF, a sensuous dark paranormal romance.

1. Diane studied the man as he told her how he enjoyed going to see old movies in a traditional movie theater. His dark gray pants and white short-sleeve dress shirt told her he wasn’t a blue-collar worker. He had no tats as far as she could see. Plus his lack of facial hair and rough-hewn good looks were also telling. It wouldn’t be too difficult to believe he was a model, although he didn’t have the attitude most men had when they knew they had movie star looks. Overall, despite his denial, it was hard to believe he hadn’t been caught up in a matrimonial web by now, unless his job prevents him from having a relationship, she surmised. Or he’s been married before.

2. Diane took an abrupt left turn and made a beeline for the front entrance. By this time, the bodyguard in front realized they’d been bushwhacked and also drew his pistol. He fired once, and Diane felt the bullet drill into her chest, directly above her left breast. She winced as she threw out her hand, knocking the gun from the guy’s hand. The bodyguard in the rear tried to aim for her again, but by this time the lobby had erupted into chaos with people running and screaming as they tried to avoid being struck by gunfire. Diane blended into the crowd exiting the hotel and took off down the sidewalk.

3. “I’m so sorry, Stokker,” she softly moaned. “Forgive me. Please forgive me. I never meant for you to have to deal with the fallout. But why were you there in the first place?” He’d been with her target, which meant he had to be with law enforcement. “But you told me you weren’t a cop or with the FBI, and I believed you. Did you lie to me?” She shook her head. “No. You didn’t lie to me or I would have sensed it. I would have known you’d lied. So why were you there with him? What did you hold back from me?” The irony made her snort. “There I was being so careful not to let you know what I am, and yet I condemn you for doing the same thing.”

4. A new revelation came to her, bringing with it the sting of tears. “Or is it because you care for me?” she whispered. “That’s why you left, isn’t it? You were starting to care for me, which is why you couldn’t bring yourself to arrest me, or take me in, or whatever you’d have to do.” Her breath hitched. “Isn’t it funny? I never really thought I could be happy sharing my life with someone else. I’ve been on my own for so long, the idea of having another person with me felt…alien. I never realized I’d meet someone like you and then find out how lonely I was because you weren’t with me anymore. Isn’t that crazy? That’s how much you’ve affected me. I was perfectly fine before I met you. And now that you’re gone, I’m a total wreck.” She angrily beat a fist on the arm of the chair. “Why, Stokker? Why have you done this to me?”

5. A man dressed in a suit and tie passed by, an ArmaLite held close to his body. There were armed guards everywhere she looked, and it didn’t take her long to realize the chances of her getting away unscathed were low and getting lower. She mentally shrugged off the inherent danger. It wouldn’t be the last time she’d be shot. In fact, it was getting to be a regular expectation.

6. Stokker followed the man through a door and down a brightly-lit hallway. He found himself wanting to drag his feet. He didn’t want to see Diane in the condition Perl had described. He wanted his memory of her to be when she was still alive. The look of rapture on her face when she took that first bite of shrimp. Her embarrassment when she laughed because she accidentally spilled ice cream in her lap. The sheen on her flushed and sweaty skin when she cried out her release as she writhed beneath him. The way her eyes flashed when she hotly snapped at him because he dared to beg her not to go after Burchmeyer. Those were the memories he wanted to keep of her. Not…

Tired of sitting back while their borders are being attacked regardless of peace treaties signed, Amalt Paya decides to take it upon herself to investigate anyway, in spite of the punishment she knows she’ll face for defying direct orders not to. Her people are dying. What she and her fellow Ree warriors soon discover is worse than she thought. Entire towns are being razed to the ground. But how? And by who? Their enemy is not who they once thought.

Ivan Mandrake, a lieutenant colonel in the United Planetary Forces, is tracking a race called the Ya that is destroying planets. Following the Ya to a planet the UPF isn’t allowed to touch, he and his group come across a legion of winged warrior females. Their orders are to not make contact with the indigenous species of the planet, but the Ya are attacking, which means he and his men don’t have a choice.

The Ree know nothing of the technology the Terrans have, but Paya trusts them to help. Unfortunately, the Ree leaders don’t share that trust for the Terrans or Paya. She’s labeled a traitor, stripped of her title, then sent to the breeding stocks as punishment for the rest of her days. But she’s not done fighting, they won’t break her, and Ivan won’t stop fighting for her.

Regardless of the way her people have wronged her, Paya is still determined to save them from the Ya. With Ivan by her side, her feelings for him grow, and she knows Ivan cares for her, but she’s unworthy now of his love. She’s tainted after what her kind did to her. He’ll have to work to convince her otherwise.

In the meantime, their mission is to save her planet. Together.

Warning! Contains trust issues, fields of destruction, debilitating pain, alien castles, lies and deceit, a brutal punishment, spaceship billiards, saving bacon, unorthodox and spur-of-the-moment decisions, loving promises, and one woman learning to accept the fact that the man she's come to love is willing to accept her under any circumstances.

Boothe lives life on the road, traveling wherever he’s needed to cleanse the area, never knowing where that may be. He’s an exorciser, blessed by the church and trained to remove demons who have possessed humans. He didn’t know taking a break in a small-town bar would change his life forever.

Lady Parr, a bartender at Brewski’s, has seen her fair share of belligerent customers. When one is particularly difficult, a tattooed, bearded stranger steps in to help. She’s intrigued by Boothe, and although it’s more forward that she’s ever been, she doesn’t want to miss the opportunity to get to know him better. But what she learns while in his hotel room changes everything she thought she knew about the world she lives in.

Now that Lady knows what Boothe does for a living, he realizes she’s the first woman who hasn’t run screaming. There’s just something about her. She’s special, but he can’t bring her into his life. It’s not safe…although it doesn’t take long to discover she’s not safe without him.

The demons are targeting her now, but why? She’s like a magnet, drawing them to her. The same way they’re drawn to him.

Could it be…?

Warning! Contains damn fine bourbon, a nose that knows, an orange GTO, bloody tears, a glowing tat, a life-altering decision, changing jobs, an amulet, a higher calling, filing reports, and one man who never believed he'd find what he'd prayed for.

With threats of solar flares larger than anything ever recorded looming, everyone on Earth is scrambling to prepare. No one knows how severe the consequences will be. With little to no warning, the massive flares hit, wiping out power grids, frying everything electrical or battery-operated, and burning out most living beings, unless you were lucky enough to be deep underground or inside something that could withstand the unimaginable temperatures.

In the end, the Earth has been left in total, absolute darkness.

Having rekindled their romance after their failed marriage, Gideon doesn’t want to be apart from D’hani, but she lives in another town. The last time he talked to her, he vowed to come looking for her if/when the big one hits. Because he works for Brodwyn Light and Power, he must stick around to help restore power when the flares pass.

Barely escaping death, he leaves to find her, to see if she also managed to survive, but life has been forever changed. Survival is now reduced to scavenging for whatever food and water he can find, and that means only the fittest or smartest will stay alive.

But some survivors have been reduced to savages.

Has humanity completely turned on itself? It seems there are still a few good ones left, though they are very few and far between. If Gideon can find D’hani, they’re going to search for a place where they can spend the rest of their days, however long that may be.

Although it may be the end of the world, their last wish is for them to be together.

Warning! Contains a natural spring, strawberry shit, a piece of porcelain and a rock, treachery, everlasting night, a dead sun, illegal stills, and two people being given a second chance at life and love.

Dark Sci-Fi Romance

Captain Rylee Crockett, a member of the Galactic Force, is well-respected among her peers, and damn good at her job. Despite the hurdles of being a female captain, she has a loyal crew who see her as strict but fair, and with the newest additions, her crew makes her the best ship in the fleet.

She’s especially curious about the newest expert on board. Dr. Beck Graham, a xenobiologist who specializes in alien species, specifically the Purej, who the Galactic Forces have been fighting for some time now. When Rylee’s ship is ordered to provide backup for a warship in the middle of a battle with their alien enemy, a mistranslated communique is intercepted, and Beck helps her decipher its true meaning. She fears they’re being set up for an ambush, along with everyone else ordered to assist.

What was thought to be proposed peace talks with the Purej is not at all the situation they find themselves involved in. Rylee’s ship is overtaken, and she awakens alone on an unrecognizable planet, and is soon taken to an arena where it is kill or be killed. Every confrontation becomes a fight to the death, gladiator style—against alien creatures, or other Galactic Force members—purely for their enemies’ entertainment.

If Rylee lives through this, she vows to get her revenge for the devastating number of crewmen she’s lost. And for the man who had given her a glimmer of hope when it came to being loved.

Warning! Contains ancient weaponry, oxygen masks, hostage taking, bad translations, revenge, a top-of-the-line spaceship, a demotion, and two people refusing to give up hope, until they're forced to take each other's lives.

Six on Sunday - DARK, an Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic Romance

Six paragraphs from DARK, an Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic Romance

1. Gideon waited until his friend joined him. “Okay. Keep a hand on the wall for balance. I’ll kick with my left. You go with your right. Place your foot flat on the door, and on three, rear back and hit it as hard as you can. Hopefully, the flares also weakened the frame and lock.”

2. Neither of them said anything as they slowly walked down the middle of the road. They had to pay close attention to where they stepped. Bits and pieces of things they couldn’t identify lay everywhere. Cars and trucks appeared to have been adhered to the asphalt. Every building had its windows blown out. Light poles that were wooden were gone. Those made of metal were bent over or collapsed. Electrical lines had vanished. Traffic lights lay on the streets.

3. There was a pause. He got the impression she shook her head. But realizing they couldn’t see her, she answered, “No. There were no alerts. I remember hearing someone scream. Then someone slammed the door, making it lock automatically. I tried beating on it. I waved my arms at the closed-circuit camera to get their attention. No one came to help.” She took a shuddering breath. “It got hot in there. Real hot. I almost fried. I know I passed out. When I woke up, the lights were out. I prayed the timer had been disengaged, so I tried the door, and it opened. And that’s when I saw…” Her voice hitched. Gideon heard her sniffing back tears. Reaching out, his hand encountered a knee, and he patted it.

4. He glanced up again at the swath of stars overhead that made up the Milky Way. It was an incredibly beautiful sight, and he was grateful for it. He’d had a dream last night. More of a nightmare, really. He’d awakened to find the sky totally dark—the stars completely gone. Nothing overhead but dead blackness. It had terrified him to the point of waking him up, and he’d immediately gone outside to check, to make sure it wasn’t his new reality.

5. “Hope so. We just need to keep heading north.” He kissed her forehead. The idea of making love to her flashed through his mind, but he was too tired. Unreasonably tired. And he thought he had an idea why. If the sun had died, as suggested, then there was no longer any source of energy or light to shine on them. The human body needed the sun’s rays to survive. So did any plants or animals which might have miraculously survived as well. But without the sun…

6. He caught a movement from the corner of his eye and whirled around to see a large mountain of a man charging toward them. Gideon glanced about, searching for his shard, but it wasn’t anywhere nearby. He realized it must have fallen over into the pit. He was weaponless, but that didn’t mean he was defenseless. Releasing his wife, he placed himself directly in front of her and lifted his arms, flexing his fingers as he readied himself to take on the man.

Tuffy Claus and Babs are back, and despite Dominik’s protests, his wife is coming along for the ride. Being previously in law enforcement, she won’t be playing the obedient housewife while waiting for him to get home. No, she’ll be out chasing the bad guys as well. But can she handle the heart-wrenching jobs she’ll have to take on?

Their newest case tests Babs to her limits, making her wonder if she’s really cut out for this. Short answer? Yes. When it comes to the children, she’ll do whatever it takes. But when things quickly take a turn for the worst, leaving Babs on her own, she realizes how important her job really is.

It’s then that a thought hits her, and Dominik and Kris realize there could be a whole group of kids that are being overlooked—those who can’t write a letter to Santa. Those who can’t ask for help. And they wonder how many children have suffered through the centuries because of their oversight?

The Kringles know they can’t possibly save them all, but they’re gonna damn sure try. 

Warning! Contains peppermint schnapps; jingle bell communications; a baseball bat; powdered donuts; bullets; gut instincts; and a warm, contented, and loving Christmas Day.
