“I’m so excited about my family coming to visit. I’m sorry about the call with Granny.”
He was trying hard not to smile. “Oh, the one where she said, ‘Look dawg, you hella cool, and I’m crunked about you and my girl, Sadie, but we’re going to need a for-real wedding. You feelin’ me?’”
Once she started watching Empire, her vocabulary took on a whole new life. I felt blood rush to my face in embarrassment. “Sorry. I know that she insisted on a wedding, but we don’t have to go through with it. I could just tell her—”
“Stop right there.” He leaned over the counter and tilted my chin up, so I would meet his eyes. “In the werewolf community, the mating bond is stronger than any wedding ceremony that could take place, but if your family needs a wedding, I’m all for it. Saying you’re mine in two different ways couldn’t make me happier.” He gave me a wink. “Besides, this way you get a ring.”
I turned my face to kiss his hand. This was why I loved him. He would do anything to make the ones I loved happy. “What kind of ring are we talking about?”
He let out a laugh, making my heart smile. “Are you happy?” he asked.
I stood up and walked around the counter. I started placing kisses all over his face. “I am so incredibly happy.” He chuckled as I wrapped my legs around his waist. I kissed him with all my heart, letting him know what my words could never convey.
Camden started walking in the direction of our bedroom. “We have a couple of hours before your father and Granny B get here. Let’s put the time to good use.”
“Granny B?”
His lips trailed over the mark he had given me. “Hmm. Yeah. She’s totally into someone called Cardi B, and she told me today to just ‘roll with it.’”
I laughed as he threw me back onto the bed. Since the last week of high school, I had been on some crazy adventures, but it was all worth it because I found exactly where I belonged. With my king.

The Queen of Witches: Wheel of Crowns book 2
She knew Werewolves weren’t real. Working with one was only the start of her problems.
* * *
Charlie is afraid. Since her 18th birthday, strange things have been happening around her—like randomly starting fires or turning things to ice. But things are about to get even weirder.
When two good looking guys turn up in town both wanting her to help them, Charlie doesn’t want anything to do with them. But when one of them asks her to help him find something, he gives her an offer she can’t refuse. And Charlie discovers more than she could have suspected.
Because the man she’s helping is a Werewolf—something she knew didn’t exist.
And the weird things she’s been doing? Probably makes her… something else she never believed in—something that’s confirmed when she’s kidnapped and forced to put on a wedding dress to marry a powerful warlock. She’s a witch.
But if Charlie thinks avoiding a wedding is the biggest of her problems, she has another thing coming. Many things coming actually. Because she’s made the Prince of Hell mad as… well, hell. And, with a bunch of his evil chums, he’s coming for her.
She’d better hope she masters the whole ‘turning things to ice’ magic pretty fast. And that the Werewolf can track her down. Because staying in hell is exactly like it sounds. And getting out might just take more than she can give.

Book 3 in the Wheel of Crowns series
It’s not easy being the worst vampire ever
* * *
Tandi may have been killed by ghouls, but now she’s a brand new vampire. And she’s determined to be the best.
But determination can’t take her very far when she won’t even kill a deer for its blood. Not to mention she’s not as subservient to her master—the Prince of Vampires—as she should be. Despite him being a dead hot guy, and powerful enough to have broken free of the Queen’s influence.
Little does she know that the Queen of Vampires wants her Prince back, and Tandi’s about to get caught in the middle. Just as well the Prince is unusually protective of her, even if she is trying to hide her developing feelings for him. Because when they’re invited to a wedding, the Queen will plan Tandi’s death there. And the crown-wearing vamp has several ways to do it.
But Tandi is full of surprises herself.
When a disreputable cat turns up promising to help, together with the gorgeous Prince they hatch a plan. It’s dangerous. Maybe even deadly. But if everything goes just right, they might just have a chance.
Of course, when does anything go just right? Maybe being killed by ghouls wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

Ruling demons has never been easy. But it’s about to get a lot harder.
Carmen is finally free from years of torture. And with her evil daddy—the Demon King—dead, she’s also wearing the crown and ruling with sass, even if she still doesn’t have her own body back. But being a Queen isn’t as easy as she thought it would be. Not when she has a weakness. One she must keep secret.
Because unlike her demon subjects, Carmen isn’t completely evil. And that tiny spot of goodness in her heart might just be her undoing. Demons don’t take kindly to their ruler being nice, you see.
When rumours of her weakness begin to circulate, the mutiny is on. And Carmen will have to look for help from an unexpected source. From someone she has every right to be wary of. Someone she really shouldn’t be developing feelings for.
But a certain soothsayer has been guiding events behind the scenes—for the most part behind the scenes, anyway. And if those plans include Carmen getting her body back, she might just have the power to keep her crown.

Acknowledgments
It takes a support group to get a book finished—big shout out to Brooke Forshey and Sarah Kirby for giving me their input. Thanks to a fantastic but a brutally honest mom that’ll give me pointers on the field and cheer me on from the sidelines. Dad–I would love to give you a shout out, but you brought nothing to the table other than your witty banter. Better luck next time.
Much gratitude to my publisher, Jeff Collyer, for taking a chance and making all of this happen and to my editor, Rebecca Jaycox, for her invaluable skills.
And last but not least thank you to a fantastic husband and two precious kids who have encouraged me with every stroke of the keyboard.
