“Farra?” he asked me, breaking into my thoughts. “Are you alright?”
Cupping his neck, I brought him down to me for a long kiss. It left us both breathless, my cheek rubbing against his. “I'm fine. I was only thinking about something someone said to me, about how I'm always protected by stone. It made me wonder... if that might be true for others.”
He was lost, I could see it in his ebony eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
I closed my lashes, the light of the greenhouse shining through my lids. It made my world orange and warm. If there was a life growing inside of me, and if not now, surely later...
He didn't know why I hugged him so tight, why I kissed him so desperately. In time, he would certainly realize.
There would always be someone to protect.

Maybe Fate:
No matter how you fight, fate still comes knocking.
But what happens when you rebel against it?
When I felt someone watching me, I knew something was wrong. I'm not the kind of girl who gets a lot of attention. I don't want you to think I'm paranoid, or crazy. Definitely not crazy. That night, I got my first glimpse of something that should never have existed. I met someone who would change my life, change my everything. Someone with wicked smiles and a voice like sugar mixed with cinnamon.
Someone not entirely human.
Maybe Fate is a full-length 350 page New Adult Paranormal Romance. It focuses on the wonder of destiny, the beauty of love, and the way it sweeps us up with unstoppable, hungry claws.
Until the Flood:
When I fell in love with Brandon Beck, tasted my first kiss in his arms, I believed deep in my bones that we would always be together. Nothing could ever tear us apart. And you know, I was right.
Until the flood came, I was right.
That day, I was sure I'd lost everything. Brandon Beck's body had been swept away. The one boy that was meant for me was gone. That was what I thought, anyway.
Two years later, I caught a glimpse of him. Why would the love of my life stalk me from the shadows, why would he hide away for so long? Maybe it was all in my head.
Or was it possible... that Brandon Beck had never died at all?
Until the Flood is a 140 page New Adult Werewolf Romance novella. It focuses on how we find ourselves pulled back to the ones we love, no matter what has changed inside of us. Sometimes, we change more than we could have ever imagined.
