Kaydence hadn’t expected to see Axel that night at the school while setting up for her ten-year reunion, and since he seemed to beat around the bush, she took matters into her own hands. She had no issue with going after what and who she wanted. Even with him having a decade-old history with her older sister’s best friend.
Axel knew her in high school, but the woman he ran into that night at the school had him wanting to get to know her all over again, in every way possible. He hadn’t been in a serious relationship over the past several years. His past military service and current profession were too much for some women, so he’d kept dating light. Now, he was ready to go all in.
Follow Kaydence and Axel as they navigate this new relationship, and deal with the highs and lows that come along with it.

Rise of the Ravenisha: A Fantasy Fiction Novel On Freeing Yourself From Bondage And Coming Into Your Own Power

A wonderfully woven, speculative fiction novel about werepanthers, warrior women, and revenge.

Warrior women. Ancient power struggles. Corrupt experiments.

Hundreds of years later, the Old-Generation Ravenisha anticipate that the time to release themselves from bondage has arrived. The New-Generation Ravenisha, led by Teddy, need to be nurtured and are ready to spring into action. Can Teddy overcome her own issues to fulfill La Panthère Noire’s prophecy to lead the Ravenisha into a new world order, or will she doom the Ravenisha to slavery for all eternity?
