Elena lives and writes in a suburb North of Los Angeles. She has never lived anywhere besides California which is probably a good thing since she hates being cold and is terrified to drive in the snow. She loves being a wife and a mother to her three kids and three dogs, although really the bulldog is the fourth child who has never matured beyond the toddler stage.
A self-proclaimed nerd, she has been writing since she was a child. She has only recently, however, come out of the closet about this to her family and friends. They now understand better, but not completely, why she talks about characters in stories as if they are real people.
What happens when a mob capo falls for a lawful woman?
Does he ruin her, or does she ruin him?
Do they live together, or die together?
This is Antonio Spinelli’s story.
WARNING: This book contains delicious sex scenes with a hot man dirty-talking in Italian; women handling firearms and explosives; and scenes of violence with a crystal virgin Mary cigarette lighter.
Mafia capo, Antonio Spinelli blew through my orderly life like a cyclone.
Gorgeous and passionate, with a breathtaking brutality, he put me under his spell the moment he touched me, drawing me into his underworld of risk, violence and betrayal.
And I found, just as this sophisticated savage didn’t trust me, I didn’t trust myself. Something happened to me. Some alchemy from the heat between us.
I discovered I was a savage, too.

thought was long dead…
Suddenly,
Max’s protective, dominant, possessive male instincts flare to life,

again?

brother-in-law and friend, Max Hamilton. Without his former career to
fill every minute of the day, Kade’s looking for something to challenge
him–now that he’s lost the career that had meant everything to him.
But what starts out as a simple favor soon becomes a whole lot more than
he bargained for when the woman he’s seeking slips away from him every

life inside him. Kade soon discovers that he wants Asha’s total

two of them, but he also wants her trust, the one thing Asha’s history
makes it difficult for her to give. Can Kade convince her that some
things are worth risking it all?
Caught
between two worlds, Asha Paritala is homeless, broke and damaged from a
life of abuse and neglect. Born of an American mother and an Indian
immigrant father, Asha was raised as an Indian woman by a foster family
after the death of her natural parents when she was little more than a
baby. She’s spent her entire life under the control of others until
finally breaking free two years earlier, and she’s determined to keep
her freedom, even if it means she has to struggle to survive. But when
she meets Kade Harrison, her resolve is tested. After Kade helps her
through a bad situation, she finds herself beginning to trust Kade as
she’s never trusted a man before. Kade is everything she always
thought a man should be, but can she lose herself in him completely when
she knows she’s damaged and confused. And is it really possible that
she could be a lost sibling to two people like Max Hamilton and Maddie
Hudson? Asha is tempted by the possibility of family, and the
irresistible lure of a man like Kade Harrison. Can a woman caught
between two cultures, so flawed and so backward, really reach out and
take what she wants, or will the instinct to run from the pain of her
past destroy the hope of happiness for her future?

To truly understand a story; you need to start from the beginning, but to start from the beginning, you have to go back, further than just you. After all, our stories don’t start with us, do they?

My sister who is supposed to be dead, well, at least, that’s what I thought.
THAT’S WHAT HE TOLD ME.
Now is where my story changes, but to understand this story, you have to start at the beginning … where it all began … and before.

transplanted to the Land of the Long White Cloud. The land of the Taniwha,
beautiful Maraes, and volcanoes. The land of green, pure beauty that truly
inspires. And because I am so torn between these two lands – I shall forever
remain cross-eyed.

NOTE: Complete novel. No
cliffhanger. Dual POV. Rated 18+ for language and strong sexual
content. This is an adult paranormal romance with erotic content. The
series centers on Billionaire Wolf Shifters with plus sized BBW for
mates. It also includes vampires, voodoo priestess, a Marine, and magic.
These are stand alone books that create a series. They do not need to
be read in order.
Four years of honorably serving his country has
left Simon, Cade’s younger brother, damaged and trapped in wolf form.
Little did he know the only person with the ability to heal him
completely would be found at home. Literally. Now that he’s found her,
he is desperate to claim her.
Rose is a beautiful, voluptuous
woman with limited experience with men. Although she’s confident, she
still has reservations. Never having a family of her own, her fear of
abandonment has her fleeing romantic relationships, and doubting
herself.
Travis is insane. A deadly loose cannon that a secret
organization hired to destroy the Le Beau family by denying them their
mates. Permanently.
Simon’s dream will be lost forever unless he is able to maintain human form.
Rose needs unconditional love and a mate to create the family she’s always wanted.
Travis’s all-consuming drive is to take Rose for himself.
Will
Simon ever be whole again, able to claim his mate, giving Rose the love
and family she so desperately craves? Or will Travis destroy them both?
She looked at him over her
shoulder. His blue eyes seared her with heat. The intensity of his stare made
her shiver. Lifting one hand, he laid his
fingers against the blush of her cheek. Then he wrapped his arms around her from behind. He buried his
nose in her hair and let his wolf rumble in satisfaction. “I’m ready to show
you off at Julia’s whenever you are.”
“Let
me check my face and hair. It’ll only take a minute.” She returned a few
minutes later looking amazing.
Her
hair was pulled back in a fashionable messy bun. A single strand was left loose
to fall down the side of her face to the tip of her breast. He longed to follow
that strand to its destination, scrape his teeth against her nipple and inhale
her precious scent.
She
was without a doubt the most beautiful creature he’d ever seen in his life. Rose
placed her arms around his neck, and he relished how her warmth seeped into his
body.
“I
may have to change my mind, you look too good, and I’ll be forced to kill some
idiot who tries to dance with you.”
She
rolled her eyes at him and grabbed her purse. “Come on, Romeo, I’m ready for a
boat ride and a turn around the dance floor.”
Simon
held her hand as she got into the boat then jumped in and revved the motor.
“I’ll go slow so I don’t mess up your gorgeous hair.” He winked.
She
blew him a kiss and fluffed her hair dramatically.
Even
going slow it only took twenty minutes to reach the pier serving the bar. He
already heard the music and boisterous patrons. He cut the motor and helped her
exit safely; boats weren’t designed for high heels.
Rose
looked up and down the line of boat slips and shoreline. “Where’s her sign?”
“She
doesn’t have one. We’d rather random humans didn’t wonder in. Mates are more
than welcome, but the occasional human to happen upon the bar isn’t very well
received.”
He
led her to an open table. “I’ll get us drinks, would you like wine or a whiskey
Coke?”
“A
whiskey Coke sounds great.” Her eyes were bright with excitement as she checked
out the crowd.
He
squeezed into an open spot at the bar and waved over his cousin. “Julia! How
are you, cher?”
“Oh,
mon dieu! Simon, it’s so good to see you. I heard you found your mate.”
“I
did.” He gestured to their table. “Rose is seated right there, stop over if you
get a break.”
“Oh,
elle est de toute beauté. You’re a lucky man, cuz.”
“Don’t
I know it.” He grinned. “Can I get a Whiskey Coke and a beer?”
“Oui.”
He
turned his back to the bar to check on Rose. Simon’s breath caught as she
unconsciously moistened her lip with the tip of her pink tongue. That mouth was
made for sin, with its plush lower lip. He imagined her mouth doing wicked
things to a certain part of his anatomy. Blood thrummed in his veins. Simon turned to inconspicuously adjust
himself, his faded jeans were suddenly way too tight. Her intoxicating scent of
coffee and cinnamon rolls licked at his groin even from across the room. He
wanted to rub himself all over her, saturating her with his scent whenever they
were in public. His wolf wouldn’t be satisfied until they were mated.
Gazing
at her across the room his blood surged, he imagined her naked on his bed, her
thighs parted in invitation. He lowered his head and tasted her passion. Loving
her long into the night, her excited cries entwining with his hoarse groans as
they made the bed shudder and shake. He shook his head. He really needed to get
control of his randy thoughts. This was date night and he would show her a good
time away from his bed for once. Down boy, he snarled at his wolf. When he glanced at her again she was snickering and
shaking her head at him. He must be imagining loudly.
“Here
you go, no charge, and congratulations, Simon.” Julia rapped her knuckles on
the bar top before she turned her attention to making another customer’s drink.
She was very busy, so he left her to it. He’d barely taken his seat when the
band took the stage for another set. He stood and held his hand out to Rose.
“May I have this dance?”
“Why,
yes, you may,” she said playing along.
Simon
held her close enough to see the sparkles in her blue eyes. He loved the way
her gaze lit up when she was happy. But his wolf itched to see her eyes dazed
with passion as he made love to her, and then sated and sleepy afterwards. For
now holding her on the dance floor would do. Rose’s intoxicating fragrance
surrounded him, teasing his senses. He was in heaven.
He
cupped her cheek with a large, warm palm. “I’m so happy you moved into our
house, Rose. Having you in my arms makes me the luckiest man in the world.” The
moment she agreed to move to his house he’d called it their home. His glowing blue eyes regarded her with a tenderness
that made her breath hitch.
She
tightened her arms around his neck, urging his face closer to hers. “I didn’t
want to go back to Anna’s, to an empty bed anymore,” she told him. “If you
really plan to have me as your mate, it only made sense.”
“Just
say the word and I’m yours completely. Forever.” He smiled, then dipped his
head, kissed her deeply and nuzzled her.
