How many centuries ago had that been? He didn’t want to add up the years. Instead he said, “That was an interestin’ visit.”
“Yes.”
This woman had much to learn. She’d come close to snarling at the historian. When he’d returned to Brynhild’s cave this last time, she had emerged from her ice bath prepared to play nice. She said all the right things and showed no sign of conflict.
He had lived too long to easily accept her docile attitude when it surely hid a homicidal fantasy involving him, but for now Brynhild walked calmly alongside him. She’d accepted his disguise to hide anything that might give her, or her power, away.
Unfortunately, it may not have been enough shielding.
Cathbad asked softly, “Did ya feel the power in the shop?”
Finally, a smile from the ice dragon.
She answered in a smug tone, “Oh, aye. If Daegan knew of the squire for his family, he would have been here already. Whoever hid from us in that shop was no human.”
“Exactly, my sweet. We shall pretend we did not notice the one hiding. With a wee bit of luck, that one will alert those we hunt and we shall be a step ahead of Daegan. All the while, I will continue to train you.”
Offering a full smile, she agreed, “I will be the best of students. When the time comes, I will destroy the red dragon and all that he holds dear.”
She might be difficult, but this ice dragon would accomplish what Maeve lacked the vision to even imagine.
With this ice dragon, Cathbad would rule Treoir ... and the world.

GRAY WOLF MATE is book one in this exciting new paranormal series. Shifters came out seven years back and, since then, the world has never been the same for many.
Tess Janver and Cole Cavanaugh fell deeply in love in college ... then he disappeared without a word. She’d feared the worst, or thought she had. After six years, he returns as a beefed-up version of his former self. That’s not the only thing different. As someone working in a preternatural criminal investigation unit and the daughter of a senator determined to rid the world of dangerous shifters, Tess is caught between performing her duty to humans, protecting the only family she has left and risking her heart to a man who once destroyed it.
Cole had no choice in becoming a Gallize shifter and now he’s facing the end of his days from a fatal mating curse he can’t stop. He never planned on Tess finding out he shared his body with a wolf, but she’s in danger from a rogue wolf pack. He’s not leaving until she’s safe ... and he has a chance to redeem himself in her eyes before his time is up.

Shifters came out eight years ago and the world has never been the same.

BLOOD TRINITY – Belador Book 1
Atlanta has become the battlefield between human and demon.
As an outcast among her own people, Evalle Kincaid has walked the line between human and beast her whole life as a half-blood Belador. An Alterant. Her true origins unknown, she searches to learn more about her past before it kills her, but when a demon claims a young woman in a terrifying attack and there's no one else to blame, Evalle comes under suspicion.
The one person who can help her is Storm, the sexy new agent brought in to catch her in a lie, just one of his gifts besides being a Skinwalker. On a deadly quest for her own survival, Evalle is forced to work with the mysterious stranger who has the power to unravel her world. Through the sordid underbelly of an alternate Atlanta where nothing is as it seems to the front lines of the city where former allies now hunt her, Evalle must prove her innocence or pay the ultimate price. But saving herself is the least of her problems if she doesn’t stop the coming apocalypse. The clock is ticking and Atlanta is about to ignite.

ALTERANT: Belador Book 2
Evalle must hunt her own kind...or die with them.
In this explosive new world of betrayals and shaky alliances, as the only Alterant not incarcerated, Evalle faces an impossible task — recapture three dangerous, escaped creatures before they slaughter more humans…or her.
When words uttered in the heat of combat are twisted against her, Evalle is blamed for the prison break of three dangerous Alterants and forced to recapture the escapees. Deals with gods and goddesses are tricky at best, and now the lives of all Beladors, and the safety of innocent humans, rides on Evalle's succ
ess. Her Skinwalker partner, Storm, is determined to plant all four of his black jaguar paws in the middle of her world, but Evalle has no time for a love life. Not when a Tribunal sends her to the last place she wants to show her face.
The only person she can ask for help is the one man who wants to see her dead.

THE CURSE: Belador book 3
Troll powered gang wars explode in cemeteries and no one in Atlanta is safe.
Demonic Svart Trolls have invaded Atlanta and Evalle suddenly has little hope of fulfilling a promise with the freedom of an entire race hanging in the balance, even if she had more than two days. She takes a leap of faith, seeking help from Isak, the Black Ops specialist who recently put Evalle in his cross hairs and has a personal vendetta against Alterants who killed his best friend.
Bloody troll-led gang wars force Evalle into unwittingly exposing a secret that endangers all she holds dear, and complicates her already tumultuous love life with the mysterious Skinwalker, Storm. But it’s when the entire Medb coven comes after her that Evalle is forced to make a game-changing decision with no time left on the clock.
“Evalle, continues to be one of my favorite female warriors in paranormal/urban fantasy… I loved The Curse… This was a great story from start to finish, super fun, lots of action, couples to root for, and a fantastic heroine.” —The Reading Café
RISE OF THE GRYPHON: Belador Book 4
If dying is the cost of protecting those you love… bring it.
Evalle has a chance to find out her true origin, and give all Alterants a place in the world. To do so, she’ll have to take down the Belador traitor and bring home a captured friend, which means infiltrating the dangerous Medb coven. To do that, she’ll have to turn her back on her vows and enter a vicious game to the death. What she does discover about Alterants is not good, especially for the Beladors.
Her best friends, Tzader and Quinn, face unthinkable choices, as relationships with the women they love grow twisted. With time ticking down on a decision that will compel allies to become deadly enemies, Evalle turns to Storm and takes a major step in their relationship, but the witchdoctor he’s been hunting now stalks Evalle. Now Evalle is forced to embrace her destiny . . . but at what price?
"Longtime fans of the Belador series will have much to celebrate in the fearless Evalle Kincaid's fourth outing…with such heart and investment, each scene has an intensity that will quicken the pulse and capture the imagination..." —RT Book Reviews
DEMON STORM: Belador book 5
We all have demons... some are more real than others.
With Treoir Island in shambles after a Medb attack that left the survival of the missing Belador warrior queen in question and Belador powers compromised, there is one hope for her return and their future – Evalle Kincaid, whose recent transformation has turned her into an even more formidable warrior. First she has to locate Storm, the Skinwalker she’s bonded with who she believes can find the Belador queen, but Storm stalks the witch doctor who’s threatening Evalle’s life. When he finally corners the witch doctor, she throws Storm a curve that may cost him everything, including Evalle. The hunter becomes the hunted, and Evalle must face her greatest nightmare to save Storm and the Beladors or watch the future of mankind fall to deadly preternatural predators.

WITCHLOCK: Belador Book 6
Witchlock vanished in the 13th century ... or did it?
If Atlanta falls, Witchlock will sweep the country in a bloodbath.
After finally earning her place among the Beladors, Evalle is navigating the ups and downs of her new life with Storm when she’s sucked into a power play between her Belador tribe and the Medb coven. Both groups claim possession of the Alterant gryphons, especially Evalle, the gryphon leader. But an influx of demons and dark witches into Atlanta threatens to unleash war between covens, pitting allies against each other as a legendary majik known as Witchlock invades the city and attacks powerful beings. Evalle has one hope for stopping the invasion, but the cost may be her sanity and having to choose which friend to save.

He’ll do anything to protect the woman he loves from becoming a mindless empty shell, but his decision could be the catalyst for an apocalyptic war.

DRAGON KING OF TREOIR: Belador Book 8
The Treoir dragon holds the fate of the Beladors in one hand … and his own in the other.
The Beladors finally have a true leader in Daegan, their new dragon king, but life is far from secure now that they’ve inherited his enemies. As their Maistir, Vladimir Quinn played a risky role in freeing the dragon from the lair of their enemy, the Medb. Quinn now faces a heavy price for his part. The Medb queen is out for blood. Vigilante killings erupt among Atlanta’s secret preternatural community and all fingers point to the Beladors. The dragon king has his first real test as a ruler when he has to choose between protecting his people and entering a hostile realm full of deities capable of killing a dragon. But as a two-thousand-year-old warrior, Daegan has never shied away from any battle. Quinn, Evalle, Storm and friends race to discover who is trying to turn the entire VIPER coalition against the Beladors before war breaks out. With the clock also ticking down for Quinn, who has been ordered to hand over Kizira’s body to the Medb queen, Daegan reveals an even greater reason the Beladors have to prevent the queen from any chance to use necromancy on that body than secrets Quinn protects.
Freedom is never free. Not when the powerful gods and goddesses poised to decide Quinn’s fate see an opportunity to also destroy a threat to their existence – the last dragon shifter.
“…fantastic, exciting, edge of your seat suspenseful story that flows so well from one book to the next.”

A powerful entity is determined to push the Belador dragon king, Daegan, and the entire preternatural world into the open, starting with the city of Atlanta. Chaos sends Quinn and all the Beladors running hard around the clock. When their innocent families come under attack and t

Friendships and allies are tested as Atlanta erupts with preternatural exposure. Who will join Storm and Daegan to go where, even for a dragon, the chance of survival is nil?
