Lowering his arms he slummed into a
chair. He looked every bit the soldier he
was. He looked exhausted, mentally
and physically. I wanted so badly to
have his arms around me, but seeing
Quintus’ reaction tonight, cemented
my belief that he would never allow us
to be happy together. There was no
point destroying their 1000 year
relationship over something that would
never last.
“Please don’t hate him Cass. You broke
his heart and hurt his pride. You can’t
expect him to still run around after you
like he did.”
“Fuck-you Lucius. I never asked for
Quintus to do that.”
“You didn’t discourage it either.” His
square jaw was set, he was waiting for
me to challenge what he said.
“It wasn’t an ego thing or because I
wanted him to run around after me. I
truly love him and for a long time I
needed him badly. I was only 19 and he
was the only person I had in my life
besides Declan. He was family to me. I
needed that. Seeing my parents ripped
apart broke me for a very long time.
When they took my magic that hole
became a bottomless pit. I was
grabbing everything I could to fill that
up so I could stop feeling that horrible
ache of being alone.”
I started to pace the room. It was hard
to admit to being a person who had
used others, even if I didn’t know I was
doing it at the time. When I left Halifax
behind I left my best friend. She would
have done anything for me. She stuck
by me and saved me. I missed her, but
she was also so caught up in what
happened with my parents and losing
my magic that thinking about her was
too painful. I think back and I know I
used her. I didn’t mean to, but I did.”
“I’m not a very good person
sometimes. I’ve ended up hurting those
who love me so I can feel better. I’m
just a broken little girl sometimes, I
scream to have someone love me and
then I run from it because I know it will
only end up hurting me.” I was crying
so hard now I couldn’t speak. Only
jagged sobs squeezed through gasps of
breathe. I had been ashamed of what I
had done. Speaking if it was like pulling
out an arrow, it hurt keeping it in
everyday, but ripping it out was almost
too much damage to bare.
Lucius walked over and slowly put his
strong arms around me, I sunk into
him, taking the comfort I knew I didn’t
deserve. He smelled of sweat and blood
and it spoke to my bizarre life that
those two scents gave me comfort. He
just held me while I cried and even
after when I had no more tears left and
no more voice to make a sound.

Paperback Writer – Blood and Loss
After two years of being available only
in e-book form, my book Blood and
Loss is now available in paperback. I
couldn’t be more excited. It is truly a
dream come true.If you lost everything
that made you who you are could you
recover?
Would you be stronger than before or
would you crumble under the
mountain of grief?
When Cassandra Myles is faced with
this question her answer is to do what
ever it takes to move on. She rebuilds
her life and finds happiness once
again. She doesn’t do it alone, she has
two very special men in her life, who
have been there for her while she has
recovered.
One is her boss. His name is Quintus
and he is a very old and very powerful
vampire. He took her under his wing
when she needed someone and now
she would do anything to repay that
debt.
The other is her roommate Declan. He
is caring, charming, gorgeous and in
her eyes perfect in every way except
one. Cassandra feels they are meant
for each other and Declan feels he is
meant for every woman who walks in
his bar.
Life might not be perfect, but it was
filled with possibilities and she was
going to meet them with strength,
courage and when all else fails a huge
dose of sarcasm.
Then Quintus comes to her and tells

restored. A painful part of her past can
be undone. Will this make her life
complete or should some things
remain buried.

Here are some reviews.
I can say I didn’t know this book was
going to grab me by the throat in the
first 10 pages! But that’s just what it
did. And more surprises were waiting.
I wasn’t sure if I would like this book
but it was a free
