ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 25, 2025

She’s the golden girl who’s looking for something real. He’s the broken protector who swore he’d never love again. Together, they might just rewrite the rules.
I was born lucky. Billion-dollar empire, Southern charm, and the kind of curves men trip over themselves to chase. But lately? My life feels hollow. When a corporate spy threatens everything my family built, I turn to the best, Silver Spur Security. And straight into the arms of Dawson Hart.
Dawson’s the kind of man who doesn’t flinch under fire… or smile for anyone. A former Texas Ranger with a haunted past, he’s all cold eyes, hard muscle, and rigid control. He doesn’t want this job. Doesn’t want me.
Too bad I’ve always had a thing for lost causes.
Our working relationship is supposed to be simple, track the mole, protect the company. But nothing about Dawson is simple. He sees through the polished surface, calls out the chaos underneath. He pushes. I push back. Until push turns into something else entirely, hotter, darker, and far more dangerous.
When bullets start flying and betrayal hits too close to home, we’ll both have to face the truth: I may be the golden girl, but Dawson? He’s the only man strong enough to hold me together when everything shatters.
And I’m not giving him up.

Wolves of Wild Hollow 1
by Delta James
Genre: adult, contemporary, paranormal, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2025

I didn’t come back to Wild Hollow for redemption. I came because the mountains wouldn’t let me stay away.The town needed a sheriff. The pack needed an alpha. I just wanted quiet, coffee, and to be left the hell alone.Then Kate McKinley blew into my life like a warm Appalachian storm, bright, sassy, and completely impossible to ignore. She runs the general store like a queen in boots and flannel, with a pet goose named Hank, and enough charm to make even a battle-scarred wolf forget his scars. My wolf knew her the second we locked eyes. Fated mates. The kind of bond you don’t walk away from—not even if it rips your life in two.

But Wild Hollow doesn’t play fair. Old feuds are stirring. Her family’s name is tangled in half the town’s secrets. And while I’m trying to drag this place into the light, she’s caught in the shadows, torn between loyalty to her outlaw kin, and the pull of something wild between us.

Now I have a choice: uphold the law or protect the woman fate gave me.

And Kate? She’ll have to decide if loving me is worth turning her back on everything she’s ever known. Because in Wild Hollow, secrets don’t stay buried. Not in the soil. Not in the blood. And sure as hell not in the heart of an alpha who’s finally found his mate.

Now she’s mine—and in more danger than ever.

But when the cartel came for Wild Hollow, instinct took over. I claimed my mate. I marked her.
Then I disappeared all over again, believing it was the only way to keep her safe.

Now Elena’s pregnant. Newly turned. And caught in a power struggle that could tear this town apart. My pack wants the heir she’s carrying. My cousin wants my throne. And Elena? She doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Too bad. Because she’s mine.

And this time, I’m staying.
I’ll burn the Hollow to the ground before I let anyone take her from me again.

Several months earlier, human female Elena Clark fell in love with alpha Luke McKinley but after claiming our heroine as his own, biting, marking and mating, then leaving her pregnant, Luke ran without looking back, and not the first time he abandoned the woman he loves. All is not as it appears to be; the Sable Rock Syndicates, a cartel is taking aim at Wild Hollow, and the McKinley Pack refuses to accept Elena as one of their own.

The world building follows Luke’s need to reclaim the woman he loves, as the current Alpha continues to threaten our story line couple. Luke is determined to take his place as the rightful Alpha but a fight to the death is the only way out.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 30, 2025

🔥 He fell from the sky like a god of fire. She was sent to expose him.🔥
When wildfire expert Ember Vale arrives at the edge of an inferno in Arizona, the flames aren’t the only thing acting strange. Suspicious fire patterns. Inconsistent reports. And the Blackstrike Unit—an elite team of smokejumpers with eyes that burn a little too bright.
Especially their leader, Dax Fane.
Dax is everything Ember doesn’t trust: powerful, controlled, magnetic. But when he drops from the sky to lead his crew into hell, she sees something inhuman in him… something that calls to her. She was sent to investigate. She never expected to be hunted by fire or claimed by fate.
Dax knows Ember is his mate the moment their eyes meet. But he’s cursed, bound to a dragon side that grows more unstable by the day. Claiming her might save him. It might also doom her. Especially when a rogue dragon rises from the ashes, bent on revenge, and targeting Ember to get it.
With a wildfire closing in and secrets igniting around them, Dax and Ember will have to choose, duty or desire, survival or surrender. Because the only thing more dangerous than this fire… is the way she makes him burn.

•••••

REVIEW: ASHFALL is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult FIREBOUND erotic, paranormal, romance series focusing the Blackstrike Unit, a team of smoke jumping dragon shifters. This is team leader Dax Fane, and arson investigator Ember Vale’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Dax and Ember) ASHFALL follows arson investigator Ember Vale as she is tasked with searching for the truth about a series of forest fires in the Coconino National Forest, Mogollon Rim, Arizona. Ember’s arrival sets the Blackstrike Unit of smokejumpers on edge but especially team leader Dax Fane, whose dragon knows immediately Ember is their mate. As Ember begins a deep dive into the origins of the fires, our heroine begins to suspect Dax and his team know more than they are willing to share. The familiarity of the fires cast doubts for the Blackstrike Unit, a familiarity long thought buried and gone.

The world building focuses on the fires in Coconino National Forest, Mogollon Rim, Arizona: their origins, their power, the nature of the burn, and the almost sentient act of hatred and betrayal.

The relationship between Dax and Ember begins acrimoniously as Dax tries to remain calm in the face of meeting his fated mate. Ember is suspicious of Dax and the Blackstrike Unit-wary of the possibility of potential guilt, secrets and lies. Desperate to claim our heroine as his own, Dax must reveal his own secrets, and the secrets of his men he has sworn to protect. The $ex scenes are limited but impassioned.

We are introduced a couple of members of Dax’s Blackstrike Unit, a crew of dragon shifters all hoping to find their mates: Kade, and Rafe.

ASHFALL is a story of magic and mayhem ,secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, acceptance and love. The fast paced, action packed premise is intriguing and dramatic; the romance is fated; the characters are magical and determined.
