CONSEQUENCES: Owned by the Vampire

Daniel was part ogre and part human, way back in the sixth century. Now he’s a nearly seven-foot-tall genius vampire who consults for NASA. Since he lives an hour and a half from his coterie, he maintains his own flock, and he purchases slaves through the Concilio, rather than dealing with the hassle of enticing shapeshifters to voluntarily provide his sustenance. He has needs few would volunteer to slake.

Mariah is a sexy gazelle shifter, tall and lithe. She grew up in flyover country, and despite the Concilio’s rules against shapeshifters playing organized sports with humans, she played high-school basketball in her small town without getting caught. However, a college scout turned her in, and now she’s owned by the Concilio, trained as a pleasure slave.

Daniel hitches a ride to Italy with a friend to attend an auction, and he returns home with a statuesque gazelle who was aiming for an applied physics degree on a basketball scholarship. She’s intelligent enough she doesn’t annoy him simply by opening her mouth, and sturdy enough to withstand the things he plans to do to her.

It isn’t the ogre part of Daniel’s personality that’s needed toning down over the centuries, but his inner Viking. Razing and pillaging, indeed.

Imperfect Gifts

Pleasure times four…

Genie is a traveling nurse doing a stint in Birmingham. She’s a shifter, but her animal is a tiny owl. She’s much safer in human form than in animal form, but she has the protection of the dominant motorcycle club in the city, and they help provide a safe place for her to shift and fly.

Dev is an extinct snake shifter, his head half the size of a small sports car when he shifts into his largest size. He helps Brooke, Alabama’s diminutive Master Vampire, run her empire, and whether he does so with kindness or cruelty is entirely up to the subjects he’s responsible for.

Elijah and Ezra are cougar shifters, born in cougar form. Their very existence breaks all the rules, so they were raised by the Concilio, but Brooke has agreed to take them on and try to humanize them, to add to her little island of misfits.

What happens when these four shifters collide into unexpected circumstances? 

Chaos.

Imperfect Gifts is the fourth book in the Pleasure Times Four Christmas series, but all books can be read as a standalone, and the titles can be read in any order.

My published works are priced based on length. Ebooks don’t give you the feel of how long a book is — it isn’t like picking a paperback up off the shelf. This graphic shows the word count, print-book length, and price for the four books in this series. Most estimates are that a one-hundred-thousand-word book will take eight to nine hours for the average reader to enjoy.

UNHOLY MURDER

Lieutenant Veronica Woods is a tiger-shifter who’s been on a three-week whirlwind vacation with her vampire. How many history geeks get to be shown around Italy by an ancient Roman general?

Josef is madly in love with his tigress. He’ll do anything to keep her safe, but the killer she’s after is someone that even Josef’s two thousand years of military and security experience can’t find.

Meanwhile, bodies are piling up. Human, but without skin. Ronnie is a cop first, but when it’s a supernatural killer, she’ll have to work outside official channels to catch a murderer.

.  


I couldn’t be more excited about the first review. Seriously, it’s exactly what I was going for — warm fuzzies along with horrific crime that must be stopped.

TikTok, and everything else

I finally took the plunge and joined TikTok. Now that I’m there, I don’t hate it. There’s an actual #booktok community, which is unexpected. I had this idea that people who are watching videos aren’t reading, but that apparently isn’t the case.

I’m still figuring it out, but I have a decent amount of videos up — the dogs, the kids, the bird, some book stuff, and a couple of joke-type things.

Here’s a little rundown of all the places you can find me online, including my new TikTok profile. Click the capitalized headers to go to the other sites.

NEWSLETTER ➔ To keep up on all the latest news, promotions, exclusives, and events.

CANDACE’S KINKSTERS READER GROUP ➔ Where I get to chat with readers. There are also, possibly, some naughty jokes and memes.

AMAZON ➔ Did you know Amazon will automatically email you a link when I publish a new book? Click the yellow FOLLOW button under my author picture.

PERSONAL FACEBOOK PROFILE – I post here about my crazy life. This is still where I’m most active online, and it’s the best place to message me.

TIKTOK ➔ I’m still figuring it out. I’m not opposed to begging for follows and likes!

INSTAGRAM ➔ I do better with words than pictures, but I try to remember to keep things current over here.

MEWE ➔ Honestly, it’s turned out to be the place I go when FB puts me in jail. I need to work on that.

BOOKBUB FOLLOW ➔ Want to have my sales sent directly to your inbox? Follow me here.

GOODREADS ➔ Once upon a time, I was active in several groups, then the site was purchased and reconfigured, and the groups feature kind of fizzled. I still keep the books and series updated over there, for those who use the site to keep a record of their books.

McGyver — coming May 24th!


Iris Wendel, daughter of an uber-billionaire control freak, is on a rebellious path. With her college days coming to an end and her trust fund on the line, it’s time to make some changes. But when she drives her roommate to a party at the RTMC compound, the gathering of rugged, sexy, dangerous biker werewolves changes everything for Iris.

Face-to-face once again with the only woman he’s ever loved, Danny “McGyver” Franklin refuses to let Iris slip through his fingers this time. He’s no longer the poor, backwoods redneck from her past. McGvyer’s a man now — strong, confident, relentless, and a valued member of the RTMC.

Iris knows Danny is her soul mate, but she’s terrified her father will destroy him all over again. Danny’s playing for keeps, and he’s not about to let anything — or anyone — come between them, especially not Iris’s overbearing father. In a showdown for power and control, can McGyver and his wolf show them who’s boss and hold on to the woman they’ve always loved?

Unexpected Gifts: Pleasure Times Four

Unexpected Gifts title-smUnexpected Gifts 200x300
Polly was nearly killed in a vampire battle near the end of the American Civil War. Her body needed time to heal, but she awakens into a startling future no one in the eighteen hundreds could’ve possibly dreamed of. To further complicate things, Polly wakes a week before Thanksgiving, so she’ll have to navigate the craziness of modern day Christmas on top of everything else.

Jayce is an ancient vampire who’s taking it easy while he lives under this identity. He was a famous physicist in the roaring twenties, but he’s currently a bartender, where everyone knows him as Ace. Abbott assigns the super-genius to teach Polly about this world she’s awakened to — with cars, airplanes, indoor plumbing, and smartphones with a camera in every human’s hand.

Cole is a bear shifter, and is Jayce’s partner. Lover. Whatever. Cole is a physics professor and doesn’t have time for silly labels — nor is he thrilled with the prospect of having a seven-hundred-year-old former Queen of England living in their home. If she thinks he’s bowing to her, she’ll be sorely disappointed.

Sergei was abducted from foster care by an evil vampire as a child, and turned into a werewolf. Abbott rescued him when he took over Maryland, and he’s living with Jayce and Cole, employed as their house manager, but he wants to be so much more to them.

Two vampires, a grizzly bear, and a werewolf. It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but these four living under one roof is serious business. Follow them through an extraordinary Christmas season as they each find ways to offer Unexpected Gifts.

 

Unexpected Gifts can be read as a stand-alone.
