Cover Design: MadHat Books Release Date: October 9, 2017 SynopsisLast Words, where Non-Fiction meets Fiction, and the lines in between are blurred by forbidden love.Amelia - 1942: The inside of my closet held the last bit of my freedom before I was torn from my home and shoved onto a dark train. Our destination was even darker. “Women and children to the right. Men to the left,” they shouted at us. Everything was taken from me, leaving only the smoke filled air, piercing screams, and soul-burning cries. I was slowly starved and weakened to the bone, but there was a man—a Nazi—who brought me extra food. He called himself a prisoner too, but he scared me, and I wondered if he was the enemy I should fear the most. Emma - Current Day: My grandmother hid her past in an old diary under her bed. The tattered, brown leather book sat there for years until she asked me to find it and read her unspoken words. Now, her stories and secrets are consuming every moment of my life. She’s dying ... and asking for a man no one in our family has ever heard of. I never imagined a hand-written book could change my entire life, but it has. It opened my eyes to a new beginning, and I learned that love is not the unsaid word my grandmother has refused to speak. It’s an action—it’s longevity, taboo and sometimes forbidden. Do we fight for what’s wrong, or do we spend our lives searching for what’s right? Last words were never spoken because love doesn’t stop until a heart is no longer beating.

ExcerptIn the time it took to throw a baseball or swing a bat, everything I’d worked so hard for as long as I could remember was gone. If I could have snapped my fingers to reiterate the point to myself, I would have. But I couldn’t. Because my fucking shoulder was destroyed, and I couldn’t move my arm. “Hey, Frank.” My girlfriend’s voice cut through my pity party, and I turned my head to meet her eyes. My relationship with Shelby was brand new, we’d only recently started dating, and I was certain it was about to end as quickly as it had begun. I expected to find her looking either as sad or as devastated as I was, but she wasn’t. She seemed calm, a small smile tugging at her lips. She was a sweet girl, someone I could fall in love with someday. Well, as much as I could fall in love with anything other than baseball. But there was no baseball for me anymore. What the hell was I going to do with my life? I had no backup plan because there was never a reason to. Getting hurt had never crossed my mind . . . all I’d been able to think about was going pro. Until now. “How long have you been here?” I tried not to sound like a dick, but my thoughts were focused on life-changing questions like, What am I going to do now? Who am I going to be? Shelby shrugged, and her long brown hair fell over her shoulder. “You don’t have to stay,” I grumbled. “I know you have classes.” She pulled her chair closer to my bed. “I’ve already talked to my professors. I’m going to stay, if that’s okay.” “Are you sure? You realize my career’s over, right?” I practically barked at her. “You sure you want to hang out with a has-been?” It was irrational and mean, but I was mad and she was the only one in the room with me, so I directed my frustration at her. She stiffened a little before relaxing, reaching out to rest a hand on my left arm. “I’m sure. I won’t pretend to know how you’re feeling right now, Frank. I can only imagine how hard this is for you and how sad you must be, but I never liked you because you were a baseball player.” “No? That had nothing to do with it?” Too late, I realized that now I totally sounded like a complete dick. Shelby narrowed her eyes for a second before letting out a soft sigh. “I like your dedication and work ethic. But that’s a part of your character and it has nothing to do with baseball. I love the person you are, not the person you thought you were going to become. I don’t care if you’re a baseball player or a plumber as long as you’re happy.” I reached for her hand and squeezed it with my good one because I knew she meant the things she was telling me. Even though I was pissed off about everything I’d just lost, I still had one very important thing. And she was sitting right next to me, refusing to give up on me. I never knew how much I needed that kind of acceptance until Shelby sat there patiently, giving it to me willingly, no matter how frustrated I was. Over the next few weeks, even my former teammates disappeared. They still had the game, their dreams within reach, and seeing me only reminded them of how easily it could all be stolen away. They stopped asking if I was okay, how I was feeling, and finally, they stopped coming around altogether. That was another blow to my ego, watching them drift away one by one. Guys I’d thought were like brothers just walked away as if I’d never mattered. But not Shelby. She never left my side. When I finally declared a new major and switched my focus to business management and finance, hanging up my cleats for good, she encouraged me and told me I’d be great at it. All the days when I didn’t believe in myself, she believed in me enough for the two of us. I don’t think I would have gotten through that time in my life without her. Funny how things can change.

I got fired from my last job. It's true. I know you're sitting there thinking, "Jenn, how could anyone in their right mind fire someone like you?" And I'd love to give you a good reason, but the truth is that sometimes being all sorts of awesome isn't fun for other people. They don't always tend to like it. lol So I picked my pride off the floor, bought a laptop and started writing my first book. And you know what I realized? Writing stories that meant something to me was a million times better than working my ass off for someone who didn't really care about anything other than the bottom line. My soul has never felt more satisfied. My heart has never been more full. I've never worked so hard in my life, but I love every second of it. I truly do. It is SO worth it. All of it. Every moment. The journey it took to get to this point- I wouldn't change a thing.

A marriage, meant to unite the Irish with the Russians and forge a bond of peace, soon becomes much more.

Together, their love has the potential to change the game entirely—yet it is a force that can only be reckoned with once found.

Caught Beast Mate
Book 0 – Virgin Beast Mate – is free on Amazon! -- EXCERPT: “Ah. But werewolves don’t exist.” “Neither did aliens until you came here.” “True.” “It’s the teeth,” she said. “And your jaw. It’s large and hard, and when you open your mouth, all your teeth show. I don’t want to feed you, you know, put my hand inside the jaws.” “Well, I’m not gonna bite your hand.” “I don’t know that. The one I remember bit my dad.” Here goes. “You want to tell me about it?” “Sure. A beast went after me and Dad. Dad fought him. Before the beast snatched me, Daddy got him in the chest.” She pointed at my scar. I lifted her hand with mine, picked up the fork, and put it in my mouth. “Go on. Tell me what happened.” Sienna fed me another few bites. I put my hand over her knee. She paused but didn’t reject my touch. “We rode to Beast City. He was losing a lot of blood, couldn’t ride his bike. So he parked in the middle of the desert. Then he fell off the bike. I called his people on their emergency channel and told them our location.” That did not happen. She made it up. “How did you know to call them?” “Oh, you know, I pressed buttons on his bike until a beast answered my Mayday call.” “And then what happened?” I squeezed her knee when she put more food in my mouth. I dreaded finishing my meal and searched the tray for dessert or something else she could feed me. “I told them where we were so they knew to come get their guy.” “He snatched you and killed your Dad, but you found it in your heart to save his life.” “I’m not a monster. I couldn’t leave him there.” She’d robbed me and left me to die. “How did you know where you landed?” “A compass on the bike’s dashboard.” “True.” “The beast died shortly after. Before the help arrived.” “Penance,” I said. “For taking you.” “I’m surprised you agree.” Sienna put the tray away, then stood there for a second. “You’re not as bad as him,” she said. “Not at all.” I am worse. “In a few hours, I’ll return with lunch and breakfast. Three meals a day.” It was already after eight at night. I chuckled. She winked at me and opened the door. “Thank you,” Zarik said from the hallway. He and the guard walked inside carrying water buckets. They dropped the buckets and pulled the tub to the middle of the room, then poured the water inside the tub. The guard left immediately while Zarik stayed. “For his bath,” he told Sienna. “He needs one. Can you help him inside? Then we can be off.” Wait, what? We? There was no “we” with Zarik and Sienna, and there never would be. And I was certain I’d have to kill this male when he brushed his knuckles over her shoulder. The only thing that saved his hand was Sienna. She recoiled from his touch. Damn straight! I sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed. “Thank you, Zarik. That will be all.” He snorted. “Got something to say?” I cracked my neck. His gaze drifted to my stump. I was the weaker of the two of us, but I outranked him and Sienna was mine. Mine! I growled a warning. “Okay, then,” Sienna said and pushed Zarik out the door. She slammed it shut, folded her arms on her chest, and glared at me. “What?” I barked. “What’s your problem?” “Oh, I can’t even count them all.” “Try.” I narrowed my eyes. “You care for me and me only.” “I care for whomever Hasel asks me to care for, and when you leave, this beast will stay. Such is my shit life until I can leave too.” “Where are you going?” “Nowhere. Remember my dad?” “Mm-hm.” “He’s alive, and he’s gonna find me. When he finds me, I’m going home.” She flung open the door. “Bye!” “Wait,” I said. “Do you remember his name?” “Whose?” “The beast from the lake?” Shit! Too late. She’d never mentioned a lake. “Priest. They call him Priest.”

Fallen Halos
-- EXCERPT: “Rahym? Rahym Tezel? Is that you?” I still, recognizing the voice. A million and one memories seem to physically hit me, sucking the air out of my lungs. “Yes, it’s me,” I say warily. “Who are you?” Please don’t let it be him. Please don’t… both my subconscious and I chant. I really don’t want to deal with that asshole right now. Or ever again, for that matter. I get my answer. One of the hooded riders dismounts, landing in the sand. He lifts the hood back and looks at me, his emerald green eyes glowing with unearthly power. The sharp planes of his face are exaggerated by the light from the Door as he gives me a lopsided smile. Goddammit. “Nakir,” I say, with a false sense of bravado, and I wish I were seeing him under different circumstances. I’ “What are you doing here?” The smile grows, as a second rider swings a leg over the side of their horse. The rider strides up next to the asshole that I blame for the shattered remains of my life. This much closer, I can see that it’s a woman, although she doesn’t lift her hood, so I can’t see her face. “We’re on the road, Rahym,” Nakir says, drawing my attention back to him. “And we need your help.” “My help?” I ask. He nods. “I’m flattered, but I don’t do that anymore. People tend to die around you.” To my surprise, the woman next to Nakir chuckles mirthlessly. She may be crazier than I am. Not a good sign. Nakir smirks. “Dying. Right. That’s exactly why we need you, Rahym.” “Why?” Nakir exchanges a glance with the woman. She pulls back her hood, and from the depths of my memory, I recall her. Shit. Well, this night has taken an unexpected turn. “Jennet,” I say, calling out her name. It’s been years, and the last time I saw her, we were teenagers, but the curve of her lips tells me that I identified her correctly. A new sort of horror overtakes me; what is Jennet doing with Nakir? “Hello, Rahym,” she says in a clear voice. “We’re going to lift the curse. And we need you to lead us through the Door to Hell.”
