Interesting start. Although I don't think a baby can tell the difference between a walk in the park and a walk in a cemetary...

My options are, Gladys planned this to let Aria save the day, or Gladys is furious at these gunmen ruining her chance to hit on her friend. Harvey's awfully sharp to notice that something is off after one quick conversation.

Home has now been published on Amazon and there's quite a bit more added from where I had originally ended this story. Hope you all enjoy it.

Of all the women that Riccardo Cappella would fall for he would have never thought that it would be Alise Turner.

Technically, if Rick could find her another location, and she was aware of the danger and could move, she would. But then the story would only be three chapters long! And nobody wants that...Oh man, this is an interesting setup! And I'm looking forward to more.

Summary:

Morena is a woman who’s completely satisfied with herself. She just got a new job in a new city and her best friend, George, thinks that all she needs now is a man. Morena, though, tries her best not to get involved with anyone until Travis Keegan bumps (awkwardly) into her.

Travis is a handsome, and complicated fashion photographer, whose lust and inexplicable attraction-at-first-sight to Morena changes the plans they both had for their lives.

But Morena has walls around her, and Travis has way too many  issues he needs to work out. So how is it possible for anything to happen between them?

Summary:

 

Azalea is a woman on the verge – however, she knows not of what.

 

At the age of twenty-four, Azalea feels herself to have finally blossomed into womanhood, and during quite a time to be a Black woman. She feels the shifting, though she cannot yet vocalize that towards which the world is shifting. All she knows is that eyes linger a little longer on her hickory-brown skin, that fingers stray a little more often towards her billowing coils, and that the world takes a little deeper of an interest in with whom her newfound womanhood is shared.

 

She never expected, however, for her newfound womanhood to be the interest of and so influenced by a man – a white man at that. Especially one who has seemingly worked so tirelessly to degrade it. However, so it was. And so it goes.

 

Azalea is a woman on the verge of so many things – the first hopefully being of conquering motherhood. Join Azalea as she navigates her own experience of this new-aged Black womanhood, and learns of many others’ experiences along the way.

Summary:

Ethan West has never been one to control his wolf, he let his instincts rule and they never failed him. Until his wolf insisted on marking Mia Kane as his mate. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if Mia wasn't a human. Ethan despised humans and taking one as a mate was the last thing he wanted to do.

Mia Kane should be living her best life, her music career took off, she won a Grammy for best new artist and she was selling out arenas all over the world. Life was perfect except for the fact that she tragically lost her family in an accident the night of the awards show. When the whirlwind was over her best friend and manager Elizabeth Jones forces her to take some down time at her parent's bed and breakfast. When Ethan shifts and bites her, her life takes an unexpected turn for the worst.
