Wild Ride
The motel room was quiet except for the steady rhythm of rain tapping the windows. Bella lay curled against Jasper, his fingers tracing lazy circles along her spine. She felt more alive in these stolen moments than she ever had under Edward’s careful, suffocating love. “You ever think we were meant to crash into each other like this?” she whispered. Jasper smirked, brushing his lips against her temple. “Darlin’, I don’t believe in fate—but I sure as hell believe in you.” Outside, thunder rumbled. Inside, it was calm. For the first time, she wasn’t surviving—she was choosing.

After multiple failed attempts, one lucky bite of Emmett Cullen’s impenetrable skin introduces vampire venom into Maurice’s system.

The chains rattled first, metal scraping against marble. Then came the scent—venom, blood, something burned.
They dragged him in. Shackles dug into raw wrists, his broad shoulders scarred and bruised. Honey-blond hair hung in filthy tangles, but it was his black, empty eyes that made Bella’s breath catch.
“Major Whitlock,” Aro purred, “your new charge has arrived.”
The vampire in chains didn’t bow. He just stared.
Then—he laughed.
“Babysit a human?” His voice was gravel and steel.
A slow, cruel smile curved his lips.
“Oh, darlin’… you have no idea what you just signed up for.”

Writing Blood and Whisky in the Sunroom The soft crackle of the fireplace blends with the rhythmic tapping of my keyboard. I sit comfortably in my sunroom, a steaming cup of coffee on the table and a perfectly toasted bagel within reach. Outside, thick, lazy snowflakes drift from the sky, painting the world in shades of winter wonder. The curtains are drawn just enough to frame the snowfall, each flake so large and distinct that it feels like nature itself is showing off. Writing in this cozy space feels like pure magic. The warmth from the fire contrasts the chill … Continue reading →
Blood and Whisky
The storm rolled in like a drunk cowboy loud, angry, and demanding attention. Bella stood behind the bar, the polished wood cool beneath her palms, the neon glow from the beer signs casting red and blue ghosts across the walls.
The door creaked open, and with it came a man who carried the night in his step—broad-shouldered, golden-eyed, and soaked from the rain.
“Evening, ma’am,” he drawled, tipping his hat with an old-world grace. “Might I come in?”
Something in his voice—like velvet and thunder—made her pulse stutter.
And though it was her bar, her rules—she felt she’d already said yes.

Renee’s breath caught as Jack stepped onto her porch, his sharp gaze landing on Bella. “She has my eyes,” he murmured.
Instinctively, she held her daughter closer. “You shouldn’t be here.”
Jack sighed. “You knew I’d find out.”
Before she could respond, Charlie’s cruiser pulled in. He stepped out, eyes scanning Jack with quiet authority. “Everything alright?”
Jack smiled coldly. “I’m here to collect what’s mine.”
Charlie’s stance stiffened. “Not here, you’re not.”
Renee’s heart pounded. She had made her choice—her family was here. And she wouldn’t let Jack take that away.

The scent of Bella’s blood still lingered in my mind, a haunting reminder of how quickly control could slip away. I sat in the darkness of my study, hands clenched into fists, replaying the moment over and over. One paper cut—that’s all it had taken to unleash the monster I’d spent decades trying to contain.
The house was quiet now, too quiet. Edward had taken Bella home, and the rest of the family had scattered to their own corners, their emotions a turbulent mix of concern, disappointment, and fear. I could feel them all, pressing against my consciousness.
