Broderick has a secret… And Davina stole something...
Neither of them saw it coming... but we did.
Hey, Witchlings!
For those new to my list, I’ve recently announced that I have completely rewritten Midnight Conquest - Book 1 of my Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles. If you’d like the deets on why, click on this post preview right here… 👇
In the original version of Midnight Conquest, Broderick always wanted Davina.
But in the new version?
He’s darker. Hungrier. More dangerous.
Broderick isn’t just the charming rogue anymore — he’s every inch the possessive, predatory vampire hero who knows what he wants... and takes it.
And Davina?
She’s running out of options.
It’s 1514 Scotland, and as a woman, Davina can’t legally own property, sign contracts, or run her family’s business without a husband. Her uncle is parading suitors through her home, eager to marry her off.
So Davina strikes a dangerous bargain.
She hires the Gypsy rogue, Broderick MacDougal, to use his mind-reading abilities to scare off her suitors — and he agrees.
But his price?
Not coin.
Not blood.
Her.
In his bed.
At his mercy.
And she doesn’t leave until he says she’s free.
Broderick thought claiming her body would satisfy his hunger.
He never expected her to steal his heart.
And this Friday, paid subscribers will get an exclusive first look at the moment it all began — the scene where Davina offers him a deal, and Broderick names his price. Spoiler: By popular demand, I’ve rewritten Broderick to have a nice strong Scottish brogue!
Here’s a super-micro-teeny-tiny sneak peek…
She stopped just shy of his reach, the hood casting her face in shadow. “I’d like a palm reading.”
His chuckle was low and knowing. “A palm reading,” he echoed, voice dipping into something darker. “Aye, is that what we’re callin’ it these days?”
Her chin tilted, just enough to show defiance. “I’ve coin, if that’s what it takes.”
His grin widened, feral as a wolf’s. “Keep yer coin, mistress.” He stepped aside, sweeping the tent flap open. “Come inside. Let’s see what yer fate has to say.”

Tarot. Trouble. True love?
Lexi Landry, half Werewolf, half Witch — with zero skills — has eked out a life on the fringe of New Orleans supernatural society. But now the spells protecting her have faded, and her feral wolf has slipped her leash.
When Lexi frees The Hierophant: an ancient, non-corporeal entity from a tarot card deck, he gifts her the power of persuasion. Convincing the sexy Werewolf Alpha, Clint Pontalba, who once rejected her, to be her bodyguard and help her wolf, is easy, thanks to her new ability.
With The Hierophant at work, it’s impossible to tell what’s obedience — and what’s true love. Her secret may jeopardize a second chance with her mate, but to her it’s worth the risk.
A happily ever after for these two seems Unlikely.
This is book one in the G.R.I.T.S., Love & The Paranormal series — a clean romance that ticks every magical box.
