As the old world collides with the new, Evaline discovers she must choose to stand and fight or risk losing everything, and everyone, she holds dear.
Excerpt:
Over the next
couple days, I picked up applications from the couple of banks and other places
in town as well as in Shasta, the next town over. On Thursday, Kristy, Lizzy,
and I hung out and went for ice cream downtown. We hit a couple of stores as
Kristy wanted to get some clothes. I loathed clothes shopping. I peeked at the
racks while Kristy tried stuff on and Lizzy weighed in. She got a text. One of
the other servers had called off, and Mason needed her to come in.
“I have to get
to work. Sorry, Kristy,” Lizzy said.
“That’s fine,”
Kristy said. “Can we get some lunch there when we take you in?”
I shook my head
slightly at her scheming.
“Absolutely,”
Lizzy said, looking at me. “Let’s go.”
We piled into my
car and headed out onto Old River Road. It was a great day for a convertible
ride. The late summer sun beamed on us as we drove down the road. I had AC/DC
blaring, and as we rounded a curve, I heard a siren. Peering into my rearview
mirror, I eyed the red flashing police lights atop one of the town’s two SUV
police units.
Kristy glanced
back. “What the f***? You weren’t speeding.”
I looked down. I
was just below the speed limit. After I pulled over, I got out my registration
and insurance. The cop approached my door, and what I saw caused a huge lump to
form in my throat.
Campbell had a
smug look on his face as he spoke. “License, registration, and proof of
insurance please.”
I handed them
over without making eye contact.
He examined my
license, which still had my Sacramento address on it. “A little way from
Sacramento, Miss Bennett, aren’t we?”
“Yeah, I guess I
am.”
“Where are you
headed right now?” His tone turned from mocking to icy.
“I need to get
her to work,” I said, indicating Lizzy.
He eyed Lizzy,
who appeared annoyed by his questions. “Oh, a Cowan sister. How fitting. Tell
your brother I got a nice cell waiting for him.” She didn’t say anything as his
attention moved back to me. “So, are you here on vacation?”
My blood boiled
as the dream I had with Jimmy came back to me. I glared at Campbell. “I’m
visiting family for a while.”
“So, what is the
address you’re staying at in town?”
“What does that
matter?” Kristy interrupted any response I was about to make. “What the f—?”
“Smart ass like
your brother,” he said, cutting her off. “He’s a great bunk mate for Jonas.”
Now speechless,
she sat there.
After opening my
door, he indicated for me to move. “Please step out of the vehicle.”
Not wishing to
cause a scene, I complied and stood by my car.
He turned me
around. “Face your car, hands on the hood.”
Kristy found her
voice again. “Are you f****** kidding me? We weren’t doing anything!”
Campbell flashed
her a look. “Shut up and don’t move.” He then patted me down. “Do you have any
weapons or drug paraphernalia I need to be aware of?” He spun me back to him.
Looking at him
dead in the eye, I answered, “No.”
Holding my
elbow, he walked me toward his vehicle as he eyed Kristy and Lizzy, who were
clearly uncomfortable with what was happening. Despite my apprehension, I
followed him. He took me behind his patrol truck and returned my license.
“I suggest you
watch yourself, Miss Bennett. These back roads are dangerous, and if something
were to happen, it could be quite a while until you’d be found.” My stomach
churned as he leaned into me and whispered, “A woman like yourself, all alone,
might entice trouble.” He reached for my b*****, and I reacted quickly.
Shoving the
bottom of my palm up into his lip, I knocked him back but didn’t wait to see
his reaction. I returned to my car, got in, then took off. I was sure he was
going to follow, but he didn’t.
Kristy turned to
me. “We need to report him, Evaline. That was wrong in so many ways.”
Shaking my head,
I said, “It will make things worse, trust me. Just forget it, okay?”
She gave Lizzy a
concerned look, who then asked, “Why did he take you back there?”
I didn’t say
anything as we drove into the parking lot, parked, then got out.
Kristy was still
fired up. “This is such bullshit. He made a move on you, didn’t he?”
“Just drop it,
Kristy, okay? It’s over. I wanna forget it.”
The dust kicked
up in the parking lot as we made our way through the front doors. A few patrons
were seated at the bar, and several booths and tables were occupied. We headed
to an open booth as Lizzy returned to the back.
While still a
bit shaken from the encounter, I pondered what had just happened. A knot was in
the pit of my stomach as thoughts raced through my mind.
Does he know I
know what he is? Will he try to hurt what family I have left? Will he hurt me
to find out what I know? I thought of my dream again—Jimmy had warned me. Or
will he kill me?

Even in the light the past
haunted her present.
Evanora’s soul was broken by her
long years in captivity, until Darius started to fit the pieces back together
again. Some fragments no long fit, some slotted into a different position, but
the woman who emerged was stronger and more powerful than anyone ever imagined
– the Gaian enchantress.

their way to the future?

Dragons of Destiny is the second
in The Gaian Otherworld. It can be read as a stand-alone paranormal romance.
Excerpt
I sauntered out
of the room in search of Darius. If he thought he could avoid me, he would need
to rethink his strategy. He was in his bedroom with his hip braced against the
window frame, staring out at the ocean.
“I thought we
agreed you would break the bond and leave,” he snapped without looking around.
“No, I didn’t
agree to either of those things, Darius. Just because you are my mate doesn’t
mean you can tell me what to do.” I sat on the end of the bed.
His back
stiffened at the word mate.
“You can’t stay
here.”
“I can stay
anywhere you are. We share a blood link.”
That got his
attention because he spun around. “I could block access to all my homes...”
I sighed and
stood up, letting some of my power loose. His arms were pinned against the wall
beside his head, and his feet stuck to the floor. “The problem is, Darius, that
you belong to me just as I am yours. I have no intention of going anywhere.”
I stepped
against him and watched as he swallowed and glanced away. He could neutralise
every feature, but his body betrayed him. I ran my fingers over his chest to
his waist, deliberately moving closer to sniff his mating mark on his neck.
“Definitely no
nymphs or succubus scents, Darius. You’ll need to try harder if you want to
make me jealous.” My breath mingled with his. “We are made from the same
energy. If I am unable to stomach the thought of another lover, the same
applies to you.”
I pressed myself
against him, and felt his automatic reaction to my presence. I nipped his
mating mark with my teeth, and his quick inhale of breath made me smile.
Tracing the outline of it with my tongue, I held onto his waist as an anchor.
My lips kissed a path up his neck, even as he held his head away from me. The
tips of my fangs dragged against the artery that pulsed in his neck.
Sexual tension
pulsed off him in waves, and my dragoness purred in contentment.
“You belong to
me, Darius. Make no mistake, I will annihilate any female you try to take as a
lover.” His head spun towards me, and my lips connected with his. I grabbed his
head in my hands and poured every emotion that vibrated through my body into my
lips.
He had always
initiated our previous kisses. I needed to show him that I’d made a choice and
he was the winner. I refused to let my past paralyse me anymore. Hecate wanted
me to be a worthy heir to her magic. I would not allow anyone to hold me back
from my fate.
Darius tried to
resist me, but his dragon had other ideas. I felt him shimmer to the surface as
his heat increased, gold flecks flashing across his skin. My tongue demanded
entry to his mouth, because every breath of his belonged to me and vice versa.
The rest of the
world faded into insignificance, my only focus the man in front of me. He
struggled against the invisible restraints that held him, his dragon trying to
get closer to his mate. I dropped my hands from his face and pressed one last
kiss on his lips.
“You are mine,
Darius. That is as true now as it was four hundred years ago. You can ignore me
and leave a room when I enter it, but it will not change the fact that we
belong together.”
I turned and
walked towards the door, releasing his restraints.
My lips spread
into a smile when I heard him screaming F*** into the empty room.
Darius had spent
his whole life being in charge, but I was the Gaian Enchantress, and I would no
longer let my life be stolen away from me. The time had arrived for me to take
what was mine.

into the pages to go on an adventure with the characters, sparking a lifelong

story until one day that nagging voice said, “Why not write their faerytale?”

mythology and faerylore weaves the background for the characters in each of her
