“No one does paranormal romance like A.D. Brazeau. Vampires, New Orleans, and true love…her books have it all!”

Khaos, the demon playboy, has lived a life of indulgence and carefree chaos, never taking anything—or anyone—seriously. But when his parents boot him out of their lavish home, he stumbles upon a captivating and enigmatic woman who changes everything.

Antoinette has always thrived in the shadows, content to quietly oversee Noir, her gothic nightclub in the heart of New Orleans. But her quiet world is upended when she finds herself dealing with a reckless demon manning her club's door and a dangerous witch on the hunt for her invaluable jewels. Antoinette preferred her life when no one knew her name.

Now, the reluctant duo must join forces to outwit the witch and secure the treasures before they lose their lives. As Antoinette is forced to confront her dark past, she faces an agonizing choice: follow a path that leads to death and mortality or surrender to the magnetic pull of Khaos' world.
​
Blood and Jewels is a thrilling paranormal romance mystery set against the sultry backdrop of modern-day New Orleans. It’s the first book in The Casket Girls Family Series. For more stories about the Casket Girls, dive into Blood and Ravens, Book One of The Casket Girls Series.

Little did Holly know that she would literally run into one of those storm clouds in the form of Ben, her newest client’s son.

Ben Williams has always shied away from socializing, preferring to stay in the comfort of his home and design video games. When his mother asks him to help her plan her wedding, he can’t say no to the one person who has always been there for him. Fortunately, the beautiful, sunny wedding planner he can’t stop thinking about not only makes socializing easy, but also makes it something he looks forward to.

As Holly and Ben get acquainted, the two are drawn to each other more and more. Can a perpetually optimistic lover of love convince a grumpy game designer to give their relationship a shot, or will Ben decide that it’s game over before they even begin?

EXCERPT
Holly sighed dreamily and took another bite of her brownie, enjoying the rich, dark chocolate flavor that burst on her tongue as she chewed. She was so enraptured with the idea of meeting the man of her dreams and the soft, gooey texture of the brownie that she didn’t see the person barreling toward her until she ran smack into him.

“Oof,” she grunted before stumbling backward.

Holly swayed on her feet but didn’t fall. Two strong hands gripped her arms tightly, steadying her. Her eyes slowly focused on the hands that held her, the veins and tendons popping up from underneath the skin somehow adding to the protected feeling that was currently washing over her. The hands felt powerful, yet she got the distinct impression they could be gentle as well. As Holly reveled in the feel of someone holding her like she was something precious, she moved her gaze up and along the line of the arms the magnificent hands were connected to. Her eyes passed over biceps that strained the fabric of the coat they were trapped in and athletic looking shoulders that had clearly seen a bench press a time or twelve. Finally, her eyes settled on what had to be the most handsome face Holly had ever seen.
​
There was so much beauty for her to gaze upon, but it was his eyes that had Holly mesmerized. Gray as the sky during a thunderstorm with tiny flecks of silver like mini bolts of lightning sprinkled throughout. There was so much turmoil in those eyes, but Holly felt nothing but safety and comfort. If his eyes were the storm, his body was the port, strong and steady, though the longer she stared into the torrid gray depths, the more her own internal emotions started to churn.

It’s time to choose herself for once... too bad fate has other plans.
 
Hazel hoped she’d found her forever with Marcus. Even though their love is a secret, she always held out hope that one day, they'd share something real. But when his ex, Zoe, returns to town, all bets are off. Hazel has no choice but to end things with him, once and for all. As she begins to pick up the pieces of her life, she makes a startling discovery—she's pregnant. What's worse? Marcus reappears with a shocking proposal: marry him in secret.
 
Torn between the man she longs to love and the future she wants for her unborn child and herself, Hazel is swept into a world she neither wanted nor imagined, one where jealousy, betrayal, and scandal reign supreme. Every stolen glance, every confrontation, every heartbreak brings her closer to her truth—and further from the life she once imagined.

 
EXCERPT
The day after our first kiss we became friends with benefits, an epic way for things to turn out… or so I thought. When sleeping with him wasn’t enough any longer, I stupidly hoped for more and am still waiting for it.

“So, Marcus…” Oscar’s voice sounds from the living room. “Now that Zoe’s coming back— Hold on. Forgot to ask. Is there anyone else in your life? A babe you love?”

Fool that I am, I hope for the best and hold my breath as I wait for Marcus’s answer.

Marcus takes so long to speak, my lungs burn, wanting air, and my spirits start to sink.

Come on, say something… anything… even if it hurts me.

I don’t want that, but I’m tired of him playing with my emotions.

Someone clears their throat.

Marcus?

“Don’t you have a lovelife of your own, Oscar? Why are you so interested in mine with Zoe or anyone else?”

“I’m not.”

Cory jumps in. “I’d like to know. How about you, Dan?”

“Sure.”

Rafe laughs. “Count me in as one of the curious.”

“You’re worse than tween girls.” Marcus belches. “For your information, I’m not in love with anyone. Okay?”

I sink to the floor and swallow repeatedly, my face burning, heart pounding.

There it is, the truth finally.

By keeping me a secret all these years and being casual about things that mattered to me, Marcus was saying without words how he felt. I’m the one at fault for refusing to accept reality.

I’ve little choice now except to face what I knew all along.

Marcus will never love me.

I’ll never be Zoe.

Curled in a fetal position on the floor, I tell myself I should at least sleep in Marcus’s bed.

I haven’t the strength to walk or crawl that far, nor do I want to smell his scent on the sheets. If I do, I might rationalize what I just heard, telling myself he’ll come to his senses and will love me someday.

Sure.

He and Zoe will likely have a houseful of kids before that point. I’ll have to wait for her funeral, when she’s in her nineties, before Marcus gives me his undivided attention.

But never his love.

He’s stingy with that like his parents are when it comes to their tenderness for him.

I’m simply experiencing the fallout from his upbringing, even though Zoe doesn’t.
With her, I bet he’s attentive, loving, and doesn’t forget anything she says or does, her likes and dislikes the script he lives by.

Lucky her.

Stupid me.

To hell with them both.

I’m done.
