    About this series

    Still convinced she’s a Fraser, Ariel slowly begins to adjust to her new life at the MacDonnel castle –and the constant presence of two overprotective warriors-- until one night when her memory comes flooding back.
    Ariel's father then alarms her with the news that she has been betrothed since she was a little girl. Eventually she blows up and protests a betrothal to such a cheating swine, then stubbornly moves down to the village to stay with her adopted grandmother for a few weeks.
    Rumors start spreading that her vampire warlord intends to marry soon, so Ariel returns to the Fraser’s on a mission, sees her drunken husband and comes back with more than she ever bargained for. After she returns, her emotions are a bit of a chaotic mess, and it’s in the midst of one of her volatile mood swings that she discovers a new dark ability... and picks up a chillingly predatory stalker from a fiery dimension.
    Kaid quickly grows tired of Ariel living with her grandmother in the village. Wanting to hasten her return to the safety of the castle, he eventually orders Ariel's antagonistic, secret ex-boyfriend, Bran-- to be her permanent, 24-hour guard.
    Meanwhile, desperate to find his missing bride, Randolph has his Fraser warriors crawling the Highlands in search of her. A cursed golden chalice is finally returned to the Frasers bearing evidence of his brides impending death which makes him even more anxious to locate her. And when he finally discovers her true identity and her whereabouts --at the hated MacDonnel stronghold-- Lord Fraser is more than eager to retrieve her...because revenge is sweet and it’s now his turn to taste it.

      Discovered wandering alone in the heavily forested Highlands as a toddler, Ariel--with her inquisitive glowing eyes, supernatural healing abilities, wee fangs, bouncing pale curls and happy disposition--was discreetly adopted by the MacDonnel family and officially claimed as the illegitimate daughter of its powerful leader. ...WITH WEIRD ABILITIES. Since that first day in the forest when Ariel touched the leader’s young son, inadvertently healing the severe breathing ailments that had plagued him since birth, Ariel and Kaid have been inseparable companions. He is Ariel's fierce defender and she is constantly by his side. TWO OBSESSED WARRIORS... Now--years later--while on their family’s annual hunt, Ariel is being guarded well--as always--by her big, insanely protective half-brother and best friend, Kaid, the future leader of the MacDonnel’s. ...WHO BOTH LOVE HER. Unfortunately, Kaid's other best friend, Bran—Ariel’s secret ex-boyfriend--is intent on making her life a complete misery. As one of the most aggressive warriors in their clan, Bran has always been a touch antagonistic towards her in public in order to cover up for their long-term relationship. But ever since their break up it has gotten worse...much, much worse. You would think, from the bitter way he's been acting, that SHE was the one who had ended their relationship and not the other way around. WHEN VAMPIRES EMERGE FROM THE SHADOWS, LEAVING TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES, A SEED FOR REVENGE IS PLANTED DEEP WITHIN ARIEL'S HEART... Her personal problems quickly fade into the background when the MacDonnel's inadvertently anger the Fraser's--one of the most viscous families in all the Highlands, controlled by the oldest of three vampire brothers, a notoriously heartless leader. ...A SEED THAT IS WATERED BY THE BLOOD OF THE FALLEN AND NOURISHED BY HER OWN HELPLESS RAGE AND FEAR. Up to this point, Ariel's whole life has been filled with pretending...that she's not stronger, faster and more skilled than everyone she knows. But her desire to protect her family from any more Fraser attacks will soon have her flexing those rarely used abilities. INTENT ON RETRIBUTION, ARIEL HAS NO WORRIES ABOUT BECOMING ATTACHED TO THE MONSTROUS VAMPIRE FAMILY... Secretly leaving her home, Ariel travels to the impenetrable Fraser stronghold to ask for sanctuary using a false identity. ...OR THE THREE NOTORIOUS VAMPIRE BROTHERS WHO HELP LEAD IT. Ariel thought the territorial looks would end when she left her best friend and ex-boyfriend behind at home. But why does one vampire jealously guard her, while another vampire brother constantly stalks her with his magnificent gaze? The sparkle in those yellow eyes and amused twist of his lips seem to insinuate that he knows her better than she knows herself. And why does he smell so familiar? ARIEL IS BETTING THAT LORD FRASER HAS NEVER SEEN A MONSTER LIKE HER BEFORE... And once she eventually meets the oldest brother—who supposedly isn’t in residence when she arrives--Ariel intends to smile and flirt, biding her time until she has the perfect opportunity to murder the vampire leader who's been plaguing her family. ...BECAUSE THE LAST VAMPIRE ARIEL KILLED HAD NEVER SUSPECTED SUCH A SWEET FACE COULD BE SO DEADLY. But Ariel must be back to her MacDonnel home within a certain number of days, before Kaid and Bran return from their trip. Because Kaid's explosive fury at coming home to find HIS Ariel missing would be much scarier than any old vampire.

    I live in a small town in Texas, where there are more horses in our area than humans, & the glow from the moon & stars is the only thing lighting our road at night. It’s a place where our dog, Bandit, happily sits on the porch, giving any car that drives by a suspicious eye. It’s a good life. My husband & I have pinched lots of pennies along the way, but we are happy. Our boys are half hooligan, a tad spoilt, involved in everything, & occasionally giving us gray hairs, but they own our hearts.
