In the beginning The Alpha created the heavens and the earth. This story
takes place before that.

 

Excerpt

 

Shamayim. A perfect place filled with perfect beings living in perfect
peace. The Alpha was love, and love was The Alpha, a trait he took great pains
to embed within all his created beings. It would have been, therefore,
perfectly understandable for this perfect existence to continue unabated. And
it would have, had The Alpha not chosen to endow his created beings with the
power to choose. But he did, and with that choice came trouble. Trouble in
Heaven.

A Bewitching Christmas

 

It has been seven years since Analette Dyson stopped practicing magic and
headed to New York, where she created a new life, complete with a fabulous
job, an apartment in Central Park West, and a sexy werewolf fiancé. She
never planned on returning to her small home town in Maine, but when she
learns her grandmother is ill, she decides to pop over for a visit and what
better time than Christmas? Excited for her fiancé to meet her family,
they head up a day early.

Worst idea ever!

After doing some last minute Christmas shopping, Analette returns to their
hotel to find her fiancé in bed with another woman. Cursing the
universe for her never ending bad luck with men and dreading telling her
family about her cheating fiancé, she heads to the bar to self
medicate.

Not one to celebrate the holidays, vampire and assassin, Cole McRae, has
followed a lead to a rustic town in witch territory. But after a few days of
research and waiting for his target to show, he begins to suspect he has
wasted his time. That is, until he meets a curvaceous blonde with bewitching
green eyes at the local bar. One night with the enchanting Analette could make
this useless trip well worth his time.

Their passion is undeniable and unbeknownst to them, their fates are
intertwined. Magic and romance will strike on Christmas, changing their lives
forever.

Surrender to the Chase

A year after the tragic death of his close friend and fellow assassin, Ethan
Halstead is ready to take up his sniper rifle once more. But his first
assignment is nothing he ever expected. Ethan must hunt and retrieve a
beautiful, spirited, alluring werewolf.

Knowing no other way to escape an arranged marriage, Fraya flees from her
pack. As she contemplates slipping across the border and heading to South
America, she is captured by a dangerously seductive vampire who plans on
escorting her back to her family. Even as Fraya vows to make Ethan’s
mission as difficult as possible, she can’t resist the riotous desire he
sparks within her.

But Ethan isn’t the only predator that pursues Fraya. A powerful rival
pack’s alpha wants to make her his mate. Will Ethan be able to keep
Fraya safe and return her to her pack? Or will he surrender to temptation and
claim Fraya as his own?

Wicked Passion

James Stonewoll is an Elite Assassin for the Under Realm Syndicate—an
expert hunter and merciless killer. As a former pirate, he thrives on danger,
the more perilous the mission, the better and he can’t resist his newest
contract: eliminate a rebel shape-shifting magic thief that stalks the border
of the Under Realm kidnapping and murdering innocent Others. But never did the
centuries old vampire anticipate playing hero to a mythical temptress with
luscious curves, tantalizing lips, and hypnotic eyes.

Captured and held prisoner, Katya Moro was trapped in a seemingly endless loop
of unimaginable agony as her magic was slowly being torn from her soul. A gasp
away from death, she is rescued by a sinful kiss and awakens in the strong
arms of a powerful warrior whose roguish smile, sharp fangs, and intense
strength unlock dormant instincts within her, an all-consuming madness that
demands complete surrender.

Gazing down at her, James knew he had to kill her. Dark Magic Wielders, like
the beautiful female he’d found, were a grave threat to human society
and were not permitted to roam the mortal world. But Katya’s smoky voice
and sweet kisses stir a fierce hunger inside him. She is unpredictable,
uncontrollable and wickedly seductive—his perfect kind of dangerous. To
keep her safe, James will protect her from the magic thieves that hunt her and
his fellow assassins until he can find a way to return Katya to her home in
the Under Realm.

Can Katya’s passion conquer the darkness within his soul?

EXCERPT

Analette crossed to the bar and took up two seats, one for her, the other for her purse. The bartender sauntered her way. He was cute and looked familiar, but she couldn’t think of his name. It had been ages since she’d come home and after what she just witnessed, she wished she had stayed in New York.

She gave a heavy sigh. She had come to visit with her grandmother who, according to Analette’s mother, wasn’t doing well. Her health was fading and no one knew how many more holidays they would all have together. She had to shove aside her bad memories of this town and ignore her aversion to magic in order to come home. She had also hoped to introduce her soon-to-be-husband to her family, but that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon now she was single.

“Dyson? Analette Dyson?” the bartender asked.

She nodded. “And you?”

“Miles O’Malley. We went to high school together. Damn, it’s been a long time.”

“Not much has changed around here,” she said, trying her best not to sound miserable.

“Your sister told me you’re living in New York.”

“Yeah, I’ve been there for a couple of years now.” She had the perfect apartment in Central Park West, she worked as an editor for one of the top women’s health magazines in the nation, and up until an hour ago, she had the ideal fiancé. “I’m just in town for the holiday.”

“That’s good. I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother.”

“Thank you.”

“Well, what would you like?” Miles asked.

“Great question.”

Analette had quickly learned in college that she wasn’t much of a drinker, but tonight she would make an exception. She glanced over her shoulder at the table of obnoxiously loud young women. They each had some type of colorful, fruity drink with tiny umbrellas.

No, thank you. However, I could use a tropical getaway right about now.

The men on the opposite end of the bar were nursing bottles of beer, not her thing either. Finally, her gaze fell on the lone man a few seats down. His shoulders were slumped and he leaned over the bar top, his eyes fixed on his glass. She could tell he was tall, despite his posture, his legs were long, his back broad. He seemed so out of place, with his rough, dangerous biker look. She wondered how she hadn’t noticed him when she first came in. He was hard to miss. His profile was strong, with a square stern jawline, a Roman nose, which looked like it had been broken at least once before, and prominent cheekbones. He had short, dark hair that he wore swept back.

I’d like to have him; she thought then shook her head. “I’ll have a vodka tonic with a little lime.”

Miles quickly made her drink then went to sweep the floor by the door; customers had been tracking in snow.

Analette took a sip and gave an unladylike cough.

“You’ve got to learn to love the burn,” the man said with a deep chuckle.

Once her eyes stopped watering she replied, “Obviously, I don’t drink.”

He took a swig before turning toward her.

Holy, hell! A gasp escaped her lips. The man was not just handsome, he was knockout gorgeous. He had a face and a mischievous smile that would make any woman melt and his eyes were an impossible shade of ice blue.

Was he here alone? She doubted it. Men like him were never single, unless…Oh, God, please don’t let him turn out to be a serial killer.

“Rough day?”

She took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled before taking another sip. “One of the worst days of my life.”

He raised his glass and said, “Here’s to self-medicating,” then tossed the Scotch back. She cheered and polished off her vodka with one straight shot. Her face scrunched up, the alcohol stung her throat. “I’d like to buy the lady another,” he called.

Miles returned and made up another drink for her.

“It’s all right. I’ve got it,” she insisted.

Ignoring her protests, he told Miles, “Add the rest of her drinks to my tab.”

“That isn’t necessary.”

“I was planning on drinking alone. This way, I can enjoy your company.” He extended his hand. “Cole.”

She hesitantly reached out. “Analette, but you can call me Ana.”

You can almost feel the red dust clinging to your skin and catch the
faint scent of jasmine in the air. This is Indian Territory at the edge of
everything—law and lawlessness, hope and heartbreak, where the lines
between right and wrong blur with every sunset.

Told with vivid detail, this is the story of a man caught between loyalty and
his past, between a brother’s shadow and the light of his own becoming.
A tale of love, betrayal, and the quiet courage it takes to change your fate.

From a stagecoach town in Tennessee to the first railroad towns of the Indian
Territory, we delve into the lives of the charismatic and flawed brothers,
Matt and Robert. Their sibling dynamic shapes the lives of the entire Brown
family, steering them down a road of familial struggles and cultural clashes.

Matt always idolized his oldest brother, Robert – a smooth-talking
charmer who taught him at a young age to live hard and win big. Following
Robert’s footsteps, Matt is drawn into a life of high-stakes games and
deception. Then he meets Milla. Sharp-eyed, brave, and unafraid to speak the
truth, Milla is a woman rooted in her Choctaw heritage, carrying both strength
and sorrow in equal measure. For the first time, Matt imagines a different
future. But the past doesn’t let go easily and buried secrets never stay
buried for long, clawing their way back to the surface when you least expect
it. Now, Matt must choose between what consumes him and the life he wants to
build.

Set against the raw beauty of the Choctaw Nation, this is a powerful story of
blood ties and hard choices, of the people we love and the ones we betray.
Gritty, tender, and unforgettable—this is where redemption begins.

EXCERPT

The girls entered the room, giggling. “Hi there, you handsome young thing,” a tall, yellow-haired lady said to Robert. She ran her long, slim fingers through the hair of his bowed head. 

From between the bottles, the boys watched the lady turn her back to Robert and say, “Untie my corset.” She stood with her back straight, holding her hands to her breasts and the corset tight against her chest.

“Okay, breathe out.” Robert untied the bottom laces of the garment. “One more time,” he said, breathing with her. She exhaled as much as she could and held her breath while Robert loosened the top laces.

“Oh, that feels good.” The yellow-haired lady breathed in deep and let the corset fall to the floor. “Thank you,” she said, wiggling her shoulders, letting her breasts move freely.

Another girl moved a chair in front of the crates and sat down. Holding her right foot out, she lifted her skirt. “Robert, will you untie my shoe?”

“I would be delighted.” Robert kneeled in front of her, took her foot in his hand, and lifted it to his knee. Eyes peered from the hiding spot. Robert smiled at the mesmerized eyes and lifted the skirt over her knee, exposing a calf. Holding her leg gently in one hand and untying the pink ribbon of her satin dancing slipper with the other, Robert unwrapped the ribbon and let it hang loose. With flushed cheeks, he unlaced the front of the slipper. From the corner of his eye, spying a hand slowly reaching out toward the lady’s leg, Robert took his cap off and swatted the hand away.

“Pardon,” Robert smiled up at the lady, “a bug.” Quietly, she giggled.

He loosened the slipper and pulled it off her foot. She sighed. “That’s better. Now the other,” she breathed. Lowering her skirt to the floor, and lifting the other side, she placed her left foot on his knee. Robert held her calf and untied the ribbon, this time moving his hand slowly higher until it reached her thigh. Glancing at the peering eyes half-hidden between the slats of the crates, he smiled and pulled her slipper off, placing it beside the other one under her chair. “You’re the best stage boy we’ve had here. Maybe one day we can all take you upstairs to thank you proper.” She blew Robert a kiss as he stood. Pretending to feel it on his cheek, Robert clutched his heart as if having a heart attack, then opened the dressing room door. “Come on girls, into the back room to dress,” he said, holding open the door. “Ya got one more number.” The girls hurried into the dressing room, closing the door behind them.

Picking up the broom, Robert again pretended to sweep the floor. This time, he moved to the center of the room, glancing down the hall every so often. No one was coming. He reached for the side door and opened it wide, then whispered to his brothers, “Okay, you’re clear. Get a move on.”

 

About the Author

R.G. Stanford
Raised on the beaches of South Texas, R.G. Stanford has always been
drawn to stories that transcend time. That passion was ignited in 1976 with
the discovery of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, and deepened
with The Feast of All Saints just a few years later. Though historical fiction
wasn’t an immediate calling, a personal journey into genealogy changed
everything.

With no close relatives nearby, R.G. Stanford turned to online resources in
search of extended family. That search became a twenty-year journey through
genealogy websites, Federal Census records, the National Archives, and old
newspapers. Along the way, R.G. Stanford uncovered incredible stories about
her family and the people who once lived in the Choctaw Nation, Indian
Territory.

Compelled to record the truth of her family in the lore, sprinkled with
imagination, R.G. Stanford is a history lover, a research buff, and a
passionate genealogy enthusiast. She is also a mother, a grandmother, and a
teller of stories, now living near Orlando.
