Tears
of blood…
Trinity is the last of her bloodline and cursed with a bizarre ability for a Banshee. Living a mundane façade, she became a psychologist who helps her clients work through their own grief—or at least she did until her life took a sinister twist. Soon after the murder of her uncle, her traumatic past comes back to haunt her. She’s faced with a few other challenges she can’t control, along with her empathic talents. An unexpected offer of help comes from the Rowan siblings when she receives a ticket to the Wiccan Haus for a much needed retreat, along with some sizzling adventure she doesn’t bank on. The evil that stalks her has bigger plans than anyone on the island realizes.

Two heroes with a dark past…
Arawn, an Immortal, rose up against his namesake and abdicated his thrown to the Underworld. Conflicted between his lineage of war and vengeance and his desire to protect those in need, he serves on the Para Elite Forces. Kane, a tortured soul with a profound fear of showing anyone his Gargoyle form, is forever indebted to his best friend. They attend the Wiccan Haus for additional security training, but an unexpected run in with a voluptuous white-haired beauty brings about a change of assignment—and sleeping quarters. How will they maintain the safety and wellbeing of this mystifying woman from looming threats, while battling their deep-seated desire for her?
Welcome back to the Wiccan Haus. Where the
staff have some unusual quirks and the herbal tea is sometimes more than you
bargain for. The proprietors always do their best to make the resort a place of
healing and peace. It’s also a place some never want to leave!
Excerpt:
With a
deep breath and her Wiccan Haus charm in hand, Trinity folded her completed
checklist for items to pack and shoved it into her pocket. She clutched the
handle of her suitcase and mustered the courage to step into the portal.
In a
flash, lights swirled around her, the sensation of gravity dissipated, her body
lightened, and her limbs lingered in the air. She floated up, twisted, and spun
on the spot. A faint, but deep voice echoed in the distance, “Incoming.”
In the
blink of an eye, she bounced through the end of the portal, crashing into three
large, burly men and toppling over a dark-haired stranger.
“Whoa!”
He stopped their rolling together and landed on his back. Heated hands gripped
her sides as she came to rest on top of his rock solid-chest, face to face. He
chuckled. “You okay, princess?”
The
sweetness of his warm breath brushed her lips and tingles of electricity ran
over her sides where his hands held her steady. A delectable aroma of amber and
patchouli wafted past her nose. Trinity leaned closer to his neck and inhaled
then jerked. Lost in the depths of his dark eyes and chiseled features. His
stare penetrated her and his touch stirred something deep inside. “I’m…oh,
my….” She bit her lip.
“Are you
hurt?” He frowned.
“No.” She
rested her palms on his hard chest. But I
don’t think I would notice if I was. My word, you’re handsome. A warmth
curled around her spine, followed by giddy tickles in her tummy. Her body
responded to the contact and lulled her other senses. In the next instant, she
snapped out of her lustful daze with dread. “I’m so sorry,” she sucked in a
sharp inhale and eased herself to sit up.
His hands
settled on her hips. “I’m not.”
Trinity
slammed her eyes shut, her cheeks burned with embarrassment at the sudden
realization she now straddled the stranger she had just tackled to the ground.
“By the gods, please tell me this did not just happen.” She slung her leg over
to kneel on the floor and scrambled to get up. Another set of heated hands
gripped her under the arms and lifted her to her feet.
“You
landed pretty hard, are you sure you didn’t get hurt?” A second hunk
straightened her glasses and brushed her shoulder off.
“I had a
cushion to break my fall,” she whispered. Trinity smoothed back her hair to
find the tight bun she had slicked her mane into had loosened and stray strands
of hair littered her vision. She brushed away the rogue locks, and her breath
hitched as her focus landed on another delectable vision.
“Gripping from cover to cover- the suspenseful plot kept me on the edge of my seat and you’ll find a novel that just won’t let you go...I was on the edge of my seat throughout…exquisitely vibrant bedroom scenes that set the pages aflame and you won’t be able to put this one down.” Amazon Reader
“Claiming Trinity begins with a bang...Right from the beginning we are off on a wild ride of mystery and intrigue…This was a totally unexpected and greatly appreciated book.” Amazon Reader
