Shifts
happen. Hearts change. Africa awaits.
Life
as a slave in the fight pits of Kenya is vicious and brutally short,
and no one knows this better than lion shifter Lazarus Kiprop. As a
prized champion, he lives with blood on his hands and guilt in his
heart. He's survived longer than most, at a cost. With no end in
sight, Lazarus has given up on ever seeing another sunrise. The last
thing he needs is a vampire youngling taunting him with impossible
promises of freedom.
A
newly made vampire, Willow has gaping holes in her memory and a
burning desire for revenge. With less than a week before her new
master arrives to claim her, she’s determined to find a way out of
captivity. And if the leather-clad guy in the cell next door doesn’t
believe it’s possible? That’s too bad, because she’s going,
with or without him. But while Willow may be able to escape her cage,
will she be able to escape her heart?
“A
Lion’s Cage” is the prequel to “The Lion Shifters”
series.

The moment an unseen hand removed the stake, my torso lurched upward as I gasped. Before I could react beyond the need to sit up, metal clanged against metal. My eyes focused on bars.
The moment an unseen hand removed the stake, my torso lurched upward as I gasped. Before I could react beyond the need to sit up, metal clanged against metal. My eyes focused on bars.
"A cage?" I yelled. "Really? That's how this is playing out? Can you at least take off the handcuffs?"
The only response was the rapidly retreating steps of the men who'd thrown me in here.
It wasn't a cage, but it wasn't much better. The cell was large enough that I could stand and move around several paces in each direction, and that was about it. A thin layer of straw covered the concrete floor. There was a bucket in one corner and a dingy blanket in the other. A harsh fluorescent tube hung from the ceiling outside my cell. The place smelled like a stable. There were several other cells up and down the corridor, most of them either empty or their occupants hidden from view by concrete dividers.
Dragging myself backward, I leaned against the concrete wall and knocked my head against the bars covering the front of the cell. Hunger still burned in my veins. To distract myself, I wondered what new and probably not very exciting adventures awaited me.
Glancing across the corridor to the closest cell, I noticed a pair of bare feet poking out from the shadows. While the soles of the feet were a dark cream, the part of the muscular legs I could see was rich brown and not from a tan. Was he like me, a Vampire? Or something else?
I'd gone to Europe to deepen my education—or something like that—but hadn't expected just how deep I'd go. In the past few days, I'd not only learned that all manner of paranormal creatures inhabited the world but that I was destined to live among them, albeit as an unwilling resident.
"Hey," I half whispered, not wanting to attract the attention of our guards. "Hey, Barefoot. What's your name?"
There was no response although one of the feet twitched and shifted a bit.
"I'm Willow." I wasn't at all discouraged by the lack of response. After all, he couldn't be doing anything important. I was doing the guy a favor by entertaining him.
"That's nice." His voice bordered on a growl as if he was in between shifting from animal to man.

My cell phone rang.
“Shh,” Isaac huffed just as I answered it.
“Emma? Emma, it’s Daniel. Can you hear me?”
“Daniel,” I whispered. “We’re under attack.”
“I know. Are you hurt? Is Isaac still with you? He’s not answering his phone. Where are you?”
“Emma,” Isaac said, tugging on my shirtsleeve. “We have to go. Now. The shooting is on the other side.”
“Daniel…” I began but stopped when more screams and gunfire echoed around us.
“Let me talk with her,” King yelled in the background, his voice loud enough for me to hear.
“Forget it, goat herder. You might break my phone. Bloody hell, Zeeks. Try not to hit the pedestrians.”
“That’s a difficult task,” Ezekiel yelled, and I could imagine him trying to steer the car as his brothers fought.
“It would be easier if you weren’t driving on the sidewalk,” Daniel growled.
There was a scuffling sound and some snarling, followed by, “You’re holding it upside down, King David.”
“Emma?” It was King. “Emma, are you hurt?”
“No, although Isaac’s sense of humor might kill me. Apart from that, we’re all still breathing and in one piece.”
“Emma, stay calm. Don’t panic,” King commanded.
I almost grinned. “We are not panicking. Isaac, Tiger and I are trying to figure out how to get a group of children to safety.”
“We’re almost there. Don’t worry.”
I wasn’t quite sure whether King was talking to me, his brothers or…
“He’s talking to himself,” Daniel shouted.
King roared, almost loud enough to shatter whatever hearing I had left.
“King, I need to go. Call me when you get here.” I hung up and shoved the phone in my hip pocket.

Lion
Shifters Book 2
Summoned
to Kenya by a dying witch, Grace Elkhart
can’t wait to leave. She agrees to stay only long enough to help
her cousin Emma establish some law and order in Nairobi. Being
a Demon, Grace has the power to do that. But settle down? Join
Emma’s Pride? There are too many reasons against it, starting with
Jed Kiprop, the only man to ever break her
Demon heart.
As
a lion Shifter, Jed knows he needs to join a Pride… eventually. Now
that his eldest brother King has formed one, it should be an easy
choice. Except his brother’s mate has a Demon
in her family. And that’s one Paranorm
Jed refuses to share space with, especially when that Demon’s name
is Grace, a woman he once loved before she betrayed him.
When
a family tragedy and a king’s command force Jed and Grace to work
together, sparks fly despite their mutual distrust. But will they be
able to overcome their pride and prejudice in time to save the Pride
and each other from an ancient enemy?

Lion
Shifters Book 3
Fun-loving
Tana “Tiger” Shah is about to lose everything, including her
freedom. When her estranged mother shows up at her doorstep with an
indecent proposal, Tiger must make a decision: lose her home in order
to pay off her family’s debt
and preserve her honor, or marry a man she doesn’t know. Although
her heart says no, love doesn’t pay the bills. Tiger will do
whatever it takes to protect her family, even if it means turning her
back on her own dreams.
Lion
Shifter Ezekiel Kiprop isn’t one to play games, especially if the
safety of his Pride is at risk. When it comes to his duty to defend
his king, he’s never hesitated until now. And that’s what makes
Tiger so dangerous: she makes him forget all reason when she’s
around. Determined to focus on an unknown challenger to his brother’s
throne, Ezekiel shuts down his feelings. As fate would have it, his
lion has other ideas, especially when it comes to Tiger. But will
their love survive the truth Tiger has been hiding?

another, until the moment she’s hired by a witch to work at a tea

saddled with Daniel Kiprop, a handsome socialite and brilliant tech
developer.

Pride’s queen. It’s an easy assignment, and then he’ll be back
to his normal business, including the endless parties that fill his
evenings. All is going according to plan until the night of a vicious
attack that changes everything Daniel thought about life, love and
the pursuit of happiness. But can he convince Rebecca he’s a
changed lion before she takes up the offer of the Lightning Bird and
disappears forever?

It’s
going to be a night to remember, and not in a good way. When election
chaos combines with the storm of the century, Nairobi becomes an even
more dangerous city than usual. The lion Shifters retreat to their
Prideland, under strict orders from their king to stay at home.
Trouble
is, Isaac Kiprop was never one to follow the rules. While the other
lion Shifters settle down for a long night, Isaac has other plans:
his last burglary job for the hyena gang. After that, he’ll be
free, or so he tells himself. And he’s pretty sure he can get away
with it, until a pretty but irritating, know-it-all wolf Shifter
crashes his party and his heart.
Lara
Kraft is on a mission, one that doesn’t involve Isaac and his
never-ending efforts to push her buttons. Her research takes her into
the territory of a dangerous criminal game, and all her carefully
laid plans go awry. When Lara learns the truth about the gang’s
latest assignment, she’ll do anything to stop
them. But good intentions have a way of
getting complicated, especially when Isaac is involved.
