ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 24, 2025

She should fear me. She should run. But fate marked her as mine the moment I saw her.
Stormhaven Cove is mine to protect. The cliffs, the pack, the fragile balance between rival clans, it all rests on my shoulders. Outsiders can’t know the truth. Humans can’t glimpse the storm-bound secrets that keep us alive.
Then she arrived. Eliza Warren. Sharp eyes, sharper instincts, digging into things she doesn’t understand. I should have sent her away the moment I caught her scent. I should have wiped her memories clean and let the sea claim her questions.
But the wolf inside me doesn’t obey reason. The moment I saw her, I knew… she’s mine. My mate. The one fate chose, no matter the cost.
Now the storms are growing stronger, enemies are circling, and shadows stalk the cove. To keep her safe, I’ll have to risk everything: my pack, my secrets, even my soul.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 25, 2025

I’ve lived my whole life hiding what I am.

Stormhaven hides its secrets in the mist, and I’ve learned not to go looking for them.
But when people start disappearing and every whisper leads back to Rafael Vega, I can’t look away.

He’s the man who rules the docks with quiet ruthlessness; a panther shifter whose very name keeps the peace through fear. Everyone says he’s dangerous. I believe them.
What scares me more is how drawn I am to him.

I tell myself I’m just searching for the truth, but every step pulls me deeper into his shadows. Beneath the danger, I see something else, a wounded protector, hunted by enemies who want him dead.

Now the storm is rising, and I’m caught between the world I know and the man I can’t resist.
If I stay, I risk my life.
If I leave, I lose the only man who ever made me feel truly seen.

••••••

REVIEW: PANTHER IN THE SHADOWS is the second instalment in Delta James’s contemporary adult TIDES OF FATE paranormal, romance series. This is panther shifter Rafael Vega, and sea witch / inn owner Moira Flynn’s story line. PANTHER IN THE SHADOWS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Moira and Rafael) PANTHER IN THE SHADOWS follows in the wake of a series of missing and murdered people from the Stormhaven. Banished years earlier by his father and his pride, Rafael would eventually find an unwelcome home in the port city of Stormhaven, where in our hero would run a successful criminal enterprise but when a number of locals go missing, and their bodies show signs of dark magic, Rafael demands Moira Flynn take action when the dark magic takes aim at our story line heroine. As the locals go missing, the pass returns for both Moira and Rafael, a past they cannot fight without the help of magic, and our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on the search for a killer, someone who possess dark magic but Rafael never expected face the demons from his past.

The relationship between Moira and Rafael begins acrimoniously as both Rafael and Moria’s reputations precede their introduction to one another. Moira inherited her grandmother’s talents and power but hides her abilities in the face of abuse. Rumors of Rafael’s banishment comes with more questions than answers, and his criminal enterprises include many of the underworld elements.

Genre: adult, contemporary, paranormal romance

ABOUT THE BOOK: release Date November 21, 2025

Lost to the wild. Found by fate.

Six months ago, I vanished into the mountains and never came back.
Everyone thought I was dead.

But I survived, in a shadow realm where time twists and monsters whisper my name. I returned scarred, half-feral, and carrying something dark that followed me home. Now it hunts through the ley lines, and I’m the only one who can stop it… even if it means going back and never returning.

Then Maren Rivers finds me. A wilderness photographer and nature documentary researcher, with fire in her eyes and a scent that wakes the man I thought I’d lost. My bear knows her, my mate, but the bond between us burns and breaks, as if the shadows want to claim us both.

She believes we’re stronger together. I believe I’m too broken to keep her safe.
But when the Hollow rises again, the only thing more dangerous than losing her… is letting her go.

••••••

REVIEW: MATE OF THE MOUNTAIN is the fourth instalment in Delta James’ contemporary adult SHIFTERS OF REDWOOD RISE erotic, paranormal romance series focusing on the Hayes Brothers. This is marine biologist and grizzly bear shifter Jonah Hayes, and photographer Maren Rivers’ story line. MATE OF THE MOUNTAIN can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maren and Jonah) MATE OF THE MOUNTAIN focuses on the return of Jonah Hayes, who disappeared six months earlier but Jonah didn’t just disappear, our hero was pulled into the Shadow Realm where he will battle the shadows that are currently connected to the ley lines in Redwood Rise. Fast forward to present day, Jonah breaks through the barrier to come face to face with his fated mate, photographer Maren Rivers, the woman whose soul has been calling to him in the months since he disappeared. Jonah’s return to the real world brings with it the spirits from the Shadow Realm, and the grizzly guardians are going to war to protect the people and the land that they love.

The world building focuses on the magic of the land, the ley lines, and the supernatural elements that live and die in Redwood Rise. Not all is as it appears to be, and the Hayes brothers, their mates and our story line couple must come to a decision where it concerns the future and the land upon which they thrive.

The relationship between Maren and Jonah is one of fated mates: an insta-lust to love relationship that will be tested in the face of the darkest that is consuming our story line hero. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters include the Hayes brothers and their mates, all of whom must work together to fight the Shadow that refuse to die.

MATE OF THE MOUNTAIN is a story of power and control, magic and mayhem, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is entertaining and encouraging; the romance is limited; the characters are determined, desperate and magical.

When coordinated terror attacks erupt across Europe, the luxury resort where Fitz and Jordan are staying becomes the next target. Power goes out, gunfire erupts, and armed men take control of the hotel, claiming it’s a robbery, but Fitz knows better. Professionals like these don’t risk international attention for pocket jewelry. This is a message…and Jordan is the intended recipient.

This Christmas, silence is deadly, and survival is the only gift that matters.

•••••••

REVIEW: SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT by Delta James is a contemporary, adult novella found in the author’s MERCENARY MASTERS erotic, Dom/sub romantic suspense series. This is the continuing story of Robert and Jordan James-Fitzwallace, first introduced in ALPHA DOG #2. There is a slight cross over with the author’s CLUB SOUTHSIDE and the Cerberus Security .

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Fitz and Jordan) SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT follows Jordan and Fitz as they embark on a Christmas holiday in Switzerland but terrorists are targeting prominent celebrations, and our couple will find themselves in a hostage situation in which Jordan is willing to sacrifice herself to save others. The past has returned, and our heroine must come to terms with what is happening and why.

The world building covers but a couple of days in which Jordan and Fitz struggle to save dozens of innocent people, people who know nothing about reasons behind the terrorists attacks.

The relationship between Jordan and Fitz continues to be a highly sexual, Dom/sub relationship; a partnership of love and protection. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense with some scenes of spanking.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several whom were introduced in the previous story lines including operatives Sully and Sawyer.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT is a fast paced story of vengeance and obsession, power and control. The character driven premise is intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is passionate; the characters are determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 29, 2025

They say I’m dead.Good. That lie has kept me alive for years.

I was MI6’s best, until an extraction mission in Prague went up in flames. Three agents died. One of them was Logan’s partner. Logan who is cold, relentless, and the only man who ever got under my skin. Now I’m back, and I need his help. I have something he wants, a ledger that could expose a black-market arms ring and shatter Cerberus from the inside. But Logan doesn’t trade in favors. He trades in control.

His terms are simple: I belong to him for the duration of the mission. Every breath, every move, every surrender, under his command. But as we spiral deeper into a world of shadows and lies, across glittering casinos, brutal fortresses, and private clubs where control is currency, I start to question everything I thought I knew, about the mission, about Cerberus, and about the man who holds all the power. Because the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done… Is let Logan Radcliffe back into my heart.

Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, romantic suspense

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

ABOUT THE BOOK :Release Date September 19, 2025

I ran from the law, the lies, and him. Now I’m hiding out in the one place more dangerous than his ranch.

I never expected to end up on the run for a murder I didn’t commit. One minute I was climbing the corporate ladder, the next I was being framed and hunted. Desperate and out of options, I turned to the only place I swore I’d never go back to, Silver Spur Security. And him.

Trace McRae.

The gruff, impossibly controlled Dom who once made me burn with nothing but a look. I defied him back then. Got myself banned from The Iron Spur. But now? He’s my last shot at staying alive. Trace agrees to help me, but on his terms. His house. His rules. His discipline.

Now I’m stranded on a remote Texas ranch with a man who delivers pain like poetry, sees straight through my sass, and makes my heart race for all the wrong reasons.

I don’t know what’s more dangerous, the killers closing in… or the way I’m starting to fall for the one man I swore I couldn’t handle.

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.

ALPHA UNBOUND
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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 1, 2025

I left to protect her.

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

Five years ago, I walked away from everything. My pack. My birthright. And Elena—the only woman I’ve ever loved. I thought staying would destroy her. So I vanished into the shadows and bled for a cause that never gave a damn about me.

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.

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.

She runs a cupcake shop. He’s a wolf shifter with a badge. When sweet meets savage, sparks fly, and danger rises.

I don’t scare easily. Not when my gourmet cupcake shop, Sea Salt & Sugar, is the hottest spot on the strand. Not when I’ve built everything from scratch with a whisk, grit, and stubborn dreams. But lately, things aren’t adding up—employees quitting without notice, orders going missing, small “accidents” that feel anything but accidental.

I should’ve known telling my best friend would lead to trouble, especially when her big brother is none other than Gideon Bonham. Former military. Texas Ranger. And the man who once starred in every teenage fantasy I ever had. He shows up with a wink and an application to be my assistant baker. I rip it up. He bakes anyway.

Turns out, he’s not just Kari’s older brother anymore. He’s a wolf shifter on a break between assignments, and now he’s in my kitchen, under my roof, and way too close to the parts of me I’ve kept carefully locked away.

But the threats are escalating. The saboteur is getting bold. And every time Gideon’s near, my heart beats louder than my KitchenAid mixer on high.

When the case is closed, will he walk away or stay to claim his mate?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 27, 2025

I came to Galveston to start over. I wasn’t looking for trouble or for him.

Fresh off a divorce from my cheating ex, I wanted peace and quiet. But when my neighbor turns up dead, I know something’s wrong. I saw the fake cop watching her house. I remember every detail, and I sketch the man who knocked on my door pretending to be law enforcement.

That sketch brings Lone Star Ranger, Deacon Winslow to me. Brooding. Controlled. Intense. He says the man I drew is an assassin known as the Reaper, and I’m now his next target.

Deacon insists on staying close to protect me. Too close. I don’t trust easily, especially not men, but the danger is closing in, and Deacon isn’t just strong and lethal… he’s something more.

Something not entirely human.

Living together was never part of the plan. Falling for him was definitely not on my list. But the truth is coming for both of us, and nothing will ever be the same.

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.

He’s all muscle, mystery, and danger. I should keep my distance.

After barely escaping an abusive relationship, I came to Glacier Hollow, Alaska for peace. Running my café in a quiet mountain town was supposed to be a fresh start. No chaos. No heartbreak. Definitely no brooding former Navy SEALs with stormy blue eyes.

Then Zeke MacAllister became our new sheriff.

He’s gruff, guarded, and way too tempting for a man who clearly isn’t looking to be saved—or to save anyone else. But beneath the hard edges and military calm is a man I can’t stop thinking about.

Just as sparks ignite between us, Zeke’s past crashes into our present, and I’m caught in the crossfire.

He swore he wouldn’t let anyone in.
I promised I’d never fall again.
But some fires are impossible to fight.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 23, 2025

I thought my divorce would set me free. Instead, it put a target on my back. My ex-husband, a high-level administrator with Interpol, is tangled in a dangerous web of arms deals and criminal alliances. When I uncover his secret, I become a liability—and hunted. Desperate and out of options, I make one last call for help to Cerberus, and land in the arms of the man I thought died a decade ago.

Nick Ryeland. Ghost. The one man I never stopped loving. He’s not the soldier I remember. He’s darker now, both in secrets and desires, with scars that run deep and a protective streak that borders on possessive. Nick is part of Cerberus, a private security firm with ties to a discreet lifestyle club where trust, control, and connection are everything. It’s there, hidden behind locked doors and luxury, that I’m told I’ll be safe.

But danger is never far behind and neither is the heat between us. As we run from the enemies closing in, every moment together unearths feelings I tried to bury. Nick says he’ll protect me. That I belong to him.

I want to believe him.

I just hope trusting him won’t get us both killed.

REVIEW: CODE NAME: GHOST is the first instalment contemporary adult CLUB OPUS NOIR erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Delta James and Annie Carlisle, set in Delta James’ CLUB SOUTHSIDE/ CERBERUS worlds. This is former US Navy SEAL turned Cerberus operative Nick Ryeland, and Cherise Pardo’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including Dom/sub scenarios, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives(Cherise and Ryeland) CODE NAME: GHOST focuses on the search and take down of international criminals and smugglers. Approximately ten years earlier, Nick Ryeland and his team of US Navy SEALs were captured, tortured and killed leaving only our hero to survive but upon his rescue, Nick would be approached by Robert ‘Fitz’ Fitzwallace, the CEO and owner of CERBERUS SECURITY, and for all intents and purposes would become a ghost. Everyone he knew in his former life believed Nick Ryeland did not survive but a call from his former fiance, finds our hero guardian and protector of the woman he left behind. After the death of her fiance, Cherise Pardo fell in love and married high ranking Interpol agent Hector Pardo but life as she knew it would never be the same. Ten years would pass since the death of Nick Ryeland, ten years in which she never stopped loving the man who once ruled her heart but Hector Pardo was not the man she believed him to be, and information would come to light that threatened the life and safety of our story line heroine. Desperate for help, Cherise would contact the team at Cerberus Security, and come face to face with her past, the man she long thought buried and gone. Working together with Cerberus agent Logan Radcliffe, Cherise and Nick would set into motion a plan to take down and destroy the international crime ring that is connected to our couple’s past.

The world building is intricate and detailed as Cherise will lay out ten years of betrayal in an effort to escape the man who destroyed her life. Nick is determined to prove Cherise is the only woman he has ever loved but Cherise continues to struggle with issues of trust, forcing Nick to question his better judgement.

The relationship between Cherise and Nick is one of second chances. Nick’s proposal ten years earlier was followed by his SEAL deployment, and proclamation of death, in which Cherise found herself spiraling without the man whom she loved. Nick had never stopped loving our story line heroine but Cherise’s safety, and the take down of her former husband is paramount. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense with some D/s scenarios.

The secondary and supporting characters include Cherise’s husband and Interpol agent Hector Pardo, international smuggler Rene Vallois , as well as the return of Cerberus Agent Logan Radcliffe, and owners Fitz and JJ Fitzwallace. Logan’s story line is next.

CODE NAME: GHOST is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, friendships and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are determined, desperate and dynamic.

She’s the woman he’s sworn to protect. He’s the man she can’t afford to need.

Mitch Langdon has one job—keep Andi Donato safe. As the headstrong woman finds herself in the crosshairs of a ruthless enemy, Mitch is tasked with shadowing her every move. But guarding Andi isn’t just a mission—it’s a test of control. Because the real threat isn’t just outside her door. It’s the fire that burns between them.

Andi doesn’t do vulnerable. She built her empire with grit and determination, proving she doesn’t need saving. But Mitch sees through the walls she’s so carefully constructed, challenging her in ways no one else ever has. He’s steady, relentless, and far too tempting.

As the danger closes in, the lines between duty and desire blur. Andi is used to fighting her own battles, but this time, walking away from Mitch might be the one fight she can’t win.
