Lavender is a wolf, or so she thought. She hasn't been the strongest or the fastest and there's a reason for that. Strong and independent, Lavender tries to prove that she doesn't want or need a mate. She does this by leaving her pack and building a business of her own as a fixer. But her life isn't her own, and she does belong to someone, and he's out to get her. That is of course if he can get past the most powerful wolf there is. Sullivan has taken it upon himself to protect her, but it's more than that. Sullivan likes Lavender, but Lavender doesn't want a mate. So while they fight evil, their need for each other grows. Will she one day give into the wolf and be his? That will all depend on what the demon king wants.
This story is now available on Amazon!

New book Out!
So it’s finally here! The second part to the
Unexpected Love series is now available on Amazon. It has taken longer than I
would’ve liked, but it’s finally finished! So Angelica has a lot of challenges
ahead of her, but she will eventually find her way through the wilderness of
her life. I’m glad to say I’m happy with the way the story has ended. I had no
idea how it would end, but it did and as usual it took me on an interesting
journey. I hope you enjoy!
Synopsis
Angelica has finally walked down the aisle, but
the more time she spends with Elliott, the more she begins to question the
relationship. On their honeymoon things take a turn for the worst and it is
then that she sees the real Elliott.
For a short while Angelica tries to keep
everything together. She keeps up with the healthy eating habits and exercise
regime, but when Elliott begins to control who she can be friends with, things
change. Elliott wants complete control over everything she does! Angelica has
to make some hard choices and, Elliott will not let her go easily. She belongs
to him, and he will make sure he keeps her.
Angelica finally understands the true meaning
of love and the sacrifices she has to make to finally be herself again.
Excerpt
The driver slid into the driver seat and drove her home. When she got
home she wasn’t expecting to see Elliott, he’d left for the day, but he’d
opened the door as soon as she arrived. She wasn’t that surprised, the women
must have told him exactly what had happened, but at this point she was beyond
caring.
‘What the hell happened?’ He sounded mad.
Angelica clutched to her handbag as she approached him. She knew that
anything could happen, but she’d had enough.
‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ She pushed past him. This move
shocked him. He’d never known her this way.
‘I’m talking about the scene you caused today at the restaurant. Ellen
and Willow weren’t exactly pleased.’
‘Oh sorry for them.’ She headed for the stairs.
‘What is with you?’ He followed behind her, but she didn’t reply or
stop. You’re acting crazy!’
‘No!’ She stopped a moment. ‘The day I started acting crazy was when I
believed I had to change for you. That’s madness!’ She entered the bedroom and
headed for the closet. There were a few suitcases at the end of the closet, the
ones they’d used when they went on their honeymoon. She pulled one from the top
shelf.
‘What the hell do you think you’re doing?’ he asked.
‘Leaving!’
He was silent a while, while he processed this information.
‘Something I should’ve done a long time ago.’
‘I will kill your mother and your brother. He’s on his way to Sierra
Leone, anything could happen.’
Her heart picked up pace. She didn’t want anything to happen to her
family, but she had to take care of herself or else she would cease to exist.
‘Do what you have to do.’ She didn’t mean that, but what else could she
say. She began to take the clothes and put them in the suitcase.
‘You don’t get to take the clothes I bought you. You want to leave? You
leave with nothing!’ He hated losing. He was in control, not her.
She stopped packing. ‘You’re right, these are not my real size clothing
anyway!’
His nose flared, he was losing control. ‘Who do you think you are?’ He
stepped forward towards her as if to strike her. ‘I’ll…’
‘You’ll what?’ she asked boldly even though she was terrified.
‘Kill you!’ He was livid.
She stood up and faced him. She loved him dearly it hurt, but she
couldn’t keep denying who she was for him. ‘Go ahead. I’d rather die, than live
another day denying who I am.’
He was silent a moment. He wasn’t expecting that response. He wanted
fear and obedience, but Angelica was no longer a caged animal. She was fighting
for her freedom; she was putting herself first for a change. If it meant a life
without him, then that was how it was going to be.
What’s happening end of this week?
So if you haven’t already read the first part
to the Unexpected Love series, now is your chance to get it free. Starting from
the 15th of July until the 20th, you can download it for
free! So hurry up and get your copy.
Not much else to tell you about what’s
happening this week with regards to books and my work. I will definitely be
working on the next story which I’m excited about it, but have no idea how it
will go. I guess that’s the exciting part of writing. So keep your eyes out for the new book.
On a personal note - A little bit about me and
the crazy thing I did this week.
So Iris decided to cut her locks. Yep. I’ve
been growing my natural hair for a good four years and then suddenly I felt the
need to get rid of it all. I guess I was tired of the long process of
maintaining it and then never having it out in the open. Now I just wash and
go, it’s brilliant. So here are a couple photos of my new hairstyle :-).
As always stay blessed!

So what’s happening this week?
Well quite a bit. My
Loving You series has been proofread and now it’s ready to go for
editing. It hasn’t been easy finding an editor, but I think I’ll finally find
the right person. I’m really excited about having this story in print. I think
a few more of my stories will follow in the same direction.
This is exactly how I feel hehe!
It’s always nice to
finish a series, but sad at the same time. I really do miss the characters. I’ve
decided that this series will only have two parts because I feel the story is
complete. Yes, my stories are usually in three’s, but this one has ended. I don't feel it's necessary to drag it out. I really
enjoyed writing it, and felt empowered by Angelica. We all go through struggles, and at
times we might feel weak or be seen as weak, but the human spirit always prevails. At least I believe it does. Expect the story out soon!
More on the book front.
Starting on the 7th
of July a few of my stories will be going free on Amazon. This is your chance
to get a copy of the books free. The promo will run for five days, so make sure
you download the books during that time. Some of the books that will be free
are.
I hope you take this
opportunity to download a free copy :-).
What
are my plans for the next coming weeks?
Write, write and write
some more. I will be starting my new paranormal series. I’m excited about it.
So watch this space!
That’s about it for
now. Short and sweet, but before I go I would like to answer a question that
has been asked a few times.
The reason I do that is
how my mind words. I write a story until there’s no story left to tell. When I
reach the end and there’s a cliffhanger, I honestly don’t know what’s going to
happen in the second book. There is something about starting on a blank page
for me. It’s as if I get new ideas by starting again. It’s weird and probably
something I’ve taught myself to do, but it works. I have tried to get my
stories to an end, but I always find that I’m forcing the story, and it never
works.
I hope that has
answered the question. I think every writer writes differently, and in the
future I would really like to make my works longer. If not, I will just put all
three volumes into one, for those who prefer longer works. It might just take a
little bit longer.
On the personal
I will be going out to
see a play tomorrow evening, (Betty Blue Eyes), which will be interesting. It’s
always nice to go to the theatre. I’m hopeful that the weekend will bring good
weather as we’re – by that I mean family – are off to a BBQ. I guess even if it
rains we’ll still be having a BBQ. It would just be nice to have the sunshine.
I hope you have a great
week and weekend!
