Summary
Heated shifter serial Moon Sworn, book 1 At four years old, Maya Rawlings witnessed her own father horrifically murder her mother. Brought up by an older aunt, she knows nothing of her family history. She wants a family of her own to make up for all that she's lost, but it's difficult to achieve when she's not attracted to anyone. That is until the night of her 21st birthday, when a strange mark appears on the palm of her hand. The mark is followed by recurrent nightmares of fleeing for her life and the voice of a man offering her things she's always dreamed of. Is he real, or is she finally losing her mind? Jaden Matthews is a loner who never settles in one place. He doesn't do forever, not after the murder of his parents and younger brother. That is until fate decides to step in and a mark appears on his hand. It seems he now has a mate. After waiting for 21 years for her to mature, the clock is now ticking. First, he needs to find her, and his search leads him back to a place he'd vowed never to return. He's not the only one there hunting her, though. Can he use his skills to not only get rid of the threat to her life but also persuade her to agree to the binding? Or will he be destined to walk a limited lifespan alone, as the animal he becomes? Bound by the Moon, book 2 Jaden Matthews has now found and fallen for Maya Rawlings, his mate. They need to perform the binding ceremony, but their plans are hitting a few snags. Namely the rogues, which are stalking Maya. If they don't complete the ceremony, Jaden will become the Jaguar he shifts into for the rest of the animal's lifespan. No more immortality or humanity, and no more Maya and forever. Helena, Maya's mother, is back from the dead, and her cousin Lana is also on the rogues' radar. The stakes have just gotten higher. It's no longer just Maya's life that is in danger. The battle has begun to keep Maya and her family safe. More immortals have offered their help to eliminate the threat. The rogues' actions and indiscriminate kills are also threatening discovery by humans. The game of cat-and-mouse has begun. Who will be the victor? Fire in the Moon, book 3 Balin Matthews has found his, mate Lana Rawlings. Unfortunately, due to her past and their unfortunate meeting in a lap bar, Lana is not best pleased with the mate fate has sent her. Lara, Lana’s mother, is back from the dead and against the pairing - so Balin is going to have to work extra hard to win over not just his mate but also his future mother-in-law. A situation not helped when he has a Nymph stalking and determined to seduce him. Things turn deadly when Maisie the black witch ups the stakes. Still pulling Davion, Lana's father’s strings, she hatches a plot to kidnap Balin to use as a bargaining chip. Can Jaden and the other immortals reach him in time? Or will there be fire in the moon when the Phoenix let loose their inner talents? Light Up the Moon, book 4 Balin’s recovery is uncertain, and there seems to be a new player on the field, a dream demon. The only problem is they don’t know if he’s friend or foe. Maisie is still out there somewhere, but is she still a threat, and if so can they find her? Luc is now actively seeking a way to break the curse that Maisie put on him centuries ago. Could Sophia, the new member of Lana’s family, be the key to his salvation? The stakes are now higher for everyone, as there are more than one set of mates that need to complete the binding ceremony.

Immortal Flame
Summary
Vampire romance. Spin-off from The Bound Series. Each audiobook is a stand-alone listen about a different couple who meet through Eternal Mates, the immortal dating site. Disclaimer: Although a stand-alone, if you are listening to the Bound Series, this audiobook should be listened to after Light up the Moon, book four and before Magic in the Moon, book five to get the best out of it. What happens when your friend signs you up to a dating site? You end up with a date, one who’s a little more than you expected. That’s what happens to Jill Henderson when her best friend Amanda Nolan signs her up with Eternal Mates, not understanding that it’s for immortals. All Jill wants is a man with whom she has something in common...a faithful and not too good-looking man...a man that isn’t too young or over the hill. What she gets is something a whole lot more and drop dead gorgeous to boot. Leonard Smyth has been duped by Luc Beauregard, his once best friend. Now he’s got to date a woman he’s never met...not only that, but he must take her on five dates, and not sleep with her. It should be easy, right? Wrong. Especially when the woman he’s now dating is not only a human but also has no idea that he is, in fact, a vampire. What’s worse, his glamour is working too well and women are throwing themselves at him...well, apart from Jill. The women he can handle, but Jill, now she’s an enigma. Leonard is shocked to find that Jill is a woman he would actually be happy to spend time with...and not just for a bang and bail. Now all he needs to do is keep his promise - and his hands to himself - or he forfeits the chance to heal the rift in his friendship with Luc. Surely it’s an absolute doddle for a man who’s nearly 500 years old? Well, it would be if he wasn’t trying to prove to Jill that he did, in fact, find her more attractive than the ones he’d turned away. Contains profanity, humor, and adult sex scenes.
