Cover Reveal! A Bride for the Dark Mage

by

A Bride for the Dark Mage

Ruthless. Unforgiving. Unrepentant. But it just might be everything she needs.

Forced to apprentice to a powerful necromancer, Leikar endured pain and suffering no mortal should. Now a formidable mage in his own right, Leikar escaped his dark lord, and his unique skills earned him a place in the Holy Kingdom of Tamryn. He’ll do anything to keep his new home, anything, including marry a woman that despises him.

Three years ago, Annabelle’s husband was murdered, shattering her world and revealing a web of lies, treason, and infidelity that dated back long before they were married. Now she’s rebuilt a new life for herself, and she has no intention of ever letting herself love again. Especially not with a dark and dangerous mage.

But the past doesn’t forget, and as old enemies threaten to destroy them, Leikar and Annabelle have to make the ultimate choice. Can they embrace love and forgive the past, or will they be swallowed by the darkness?

I am working with a new cover artist, and I hope you love her style as much as I do. A Bride for the Dark Mage will be coming out in January 2021!

Cover Reveal: The Earl’s Shadowguard

by

EarlShadowguardCover

What do you do when the one thing you most want is the one thing you can’t have?

Ten summers ago, Jade made a mistake and fell in love with the wrong man. An earl’s son so less. But she atoned for her sin and even earned a position in the king’s elite bodyguard. Well, almost earned it. Her last task before entering and giving up her identity forever is to solve the murder of a wealthy and influential countess… who just so happened to marry the man Jade still loves.

Logan Warrington, Seventh Earl of Farron, has always done what he’s supposed to do, including marry the “right” woman from the “right” family, which hadn’t included the carriage driver’s daughter he’d been infatuated with as a boy. But when he’s framed for the murder of his wife, Logan gets a second chance with that carriage driver’s daughter, and Jade might be the only one that can prove his innocence.

But second chances aren’t free, and those who killed the countess will stop at nothing to keep their secrets. As the killers close in, it will take all of Jade’s skill as a bodyguard to keep Logan alive, and even if she does, nothing can close the gap between earl and servant. Nothing, except maybe love.

Cover Reveal: Seducing the Ice Queen

by

At long last, I have a cover!! Let me know what you think. And please, give it to me straight. The artist and I spent quite a while going back and forth on it!

Eadrake_ebook_IceQueen

Ice queens can’t be hurt because they have no feelings. They also can’t fall in love…or so they tell themselves.

Having to pretend everything is fine after being jilted by the crown prince was bad enough, but now, Lady Daniella is being exiled to a distant castle ‘to recover.’ Except, her exile happens to include an order from the king to investigate the murder of the castle’s former owner, the old Duke of Westlake.

At least she’d never been in love with the old Duke of Westlake. Too bad she can’t say the same thing about his brother, the dashing heir apparent just returned from battle. But facing down an awkward childhood crush who is just as determined as she is to unravel the mystery is the least of Daniella’s worries.

Someone in the shadows is watching her. Someone who doesn’t want to her to solve this murder. Someone that’s already killed once to buy silence. Someone who will force Daniella to choose whether love will be what defeats her or the only thing that could save her…if only she will let it.

Cover Reveal: To Love a Prince

by

I am very excited to share the cover of my first romance novel with all of you, and here it is!

 

ToLoveAPrinceSmall

 

What you don’t trust can’t betray you, but it can still break your heart.

Haunted by a tragedy he couldn’t prevent and hounded by a duty he never wanted, Crown Prince Eli of Tamryn is a cold shell of a man with a stone for a heart. But, whether his subjects like it or not, he will soon be their king. All he needs is to ascend the throne is the Dragon God’s blessing and the approval of the Dragon Church.

There’s only one small problem: the god is silent, and the church wants him dead. Well, there is one other problem—the slightly confusing matter of how he somehow acquired a slave girl who wheels and deals with everything and everyone, no matter what the cost, to win her freedom.

When Eli uncovers a plot to seize the throne, driven by a forbidden cult of dark worship, he must protect a church that hates him and a god he thinks has forsaken him. Duty runs headlong into the newly awakened needs of his heart, and with treachery before him and enslavement behind, no choice is good.

Old secrets reveal new lies, and betrayal will bring a man, a crown, and a kingdom to the very brink of war.

 

If you’re interested, you can get an advance reader copy  here.  Yes, that’s a free copy of the book. All I hope you’ll consider doing in return is leaving me an honest review.
