The Wayside

Book One of The Dowrra Series

Oblivious to her Dowrra heritage, curvy red-headed stunner, Gwendolyn Rhys never imagined there was a reason for her lack of passion and poor choices in boyfriends.

Then, 500-year-old Miguel Santos, vampire Prince of Wayside Coven, walks into the downtown Toronto diner where she’s serving and changes everything.

Gwen is blindsided by desire. Her heart beats so hard she can feel it pulsing in her fingertips. She’s unnaturally captivated by the tall stranger’s full mouth, rugged jaw, and sculpted body. Her hunger is confusing, disturbing, magnetic – intoxicating. She’s never known such fierce yearning.

Miguel is equally mesmerized by this bold human who doesn’t seem to fear him. The heat of her desire flushing under her soft skin is pure temptation, but it is her innocence and feisty intelligence that fascinates him. Such a powerful impulse can only be a Dowrra bond forming.

Miguel charms Gwen with the city’s glittering nightlife, black tie events, and luxury cars, but his obligation is to maintain the shaky truce between humans and the paranormal. As tensions rise, he’ll need to protect his Dowrra mate, but will Gwen accept Miguel’s dark secret before it’s too late? Can the proud, self-assured vampire prince humble himself for love? Will they survive the war that threatens to unravel their destiny?

Book Two of The Dowrra Series

Brilliant and highly educated, Serena Taylor is a renowned historian and anthropologist, but there’s much more to the feisty brunette than her love of ancient things. She’s an empath from Silver Springs, a secretive, supernatural town in rural Ontario, where her family has been granted sanctuary. She is also Dowrra, a descendant of the Sumerian goddess of love, whose destiny is to find the lover who consumes her in erotic dreams. 

After Serena is enlisted by the mysterious Cian O’Duinn, she must return to her hometown. In exchange for her paranormal assistance, the sexy and elusive Celt has promised to help free her people’s god, Attula of Aegea.  

Attula is the last hope for surviving empaths like Serena, who have been hunted to the edge of extinction. Two thousand years ago, the Atlantean god was forced to watch as the city he had built sank into the sea, and then he was entombed in stone by the Destroyer. Could Serena be the woman he has been waiting for to awaken him? How much must she sacrifice before she can finally be united with the man in her dreams?

Redemption: Atonement

Book Three of The Dowrra Series

“People don’t spontaneously evolve into something they never were, they merely become brave enough to embrace who they really are.”

–Ivana O’Neil

Guarded. Brooding. Ruthless. Gorgeous. Tyler Demetrius, the infamous Lord of Redemption Coven, is a five-thousand-year-old vampire with compulsion abilities so powerful he can torture and kill with mere words.

Ivana O’Neil knows the risks of attacking him, but the she-wolf is ready to die defending her pack and will proudly enter the halls of Valhalla to join her valiant Viking ancestors. Tyler is too intrigued by the feisty, strawberry-blonde beta to kill her, however, and takes her prisoner instead. She is just the type of plaything he needs to amuse and distract him.

Intuitive. Intellectual. Tender. Honourable. Ivana quickly discovers Tyler Demetrius is much more complex than expected, and she is soon consumed with a need to possess more of this broken man. He is her enemy, a villain she should detest, and yet she cannot hate him. His brutal extraction of her darkest secrets has given him a uniquely intimate perspective of her, including her desire for that fine line between pleasure and pain, and no one treads it better. She craves surrender, but can she trust him enough to submit so wholly? Will he ever overcome the trauma of his past which has left him so fragmented? Can she accept her Dowrra destiny and learn to love a monster?
