Cyrena Grant is a 25-year-old Black woman who has already been through many storms in her short life. After landing her dream job at a top publishing house in Houston, she had spent the last 3 years meticulously building a successful career as the youngest Senior Illustrator in her company’s history. Now, everything she had worked so hard for is being threatened by Carmo Anthas, the new interim CEO. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the explosive chemistry between them was undeniable. Carmo Anthas is one of Italy’s most eligible bachelors. He is the youngest son of multi-billionaire Jonathan Anthas. He’s proud of his reputation as a playboy. That is until he meets the Ice Queen that is Cyrena Grant. She is like no woman he’s ever met before and threatens to tear down the walls he had so carefully built around his heart. Little did they know that in the midst of a hurricane, the likes of which Texas had never seen before, Cyrena’s past would come thundering back followed by the lightning strike death of her best friend. Topped off by a serial killer stalking her every move. Buffeted by the mind bending winds of work and personal drama coupled with the deluge of Carmo’s romantic advances, the question isn’t if Cyrena can, but does she want to…weather another storm?

“Keith and I watched in awe and joy as the inexplicable happened. Nikki was alive! My mate was back! Then suddenly, those brown eyes I loved so much started morphing. Her right eye lightened and became as golden as mine after I shifted into my wolf. While her left eye deepened and became black before turning blood red like Keith’s right before he feeds. It was unfeasible but there she laid a vampire-werewolf hybrid.” Nicolette Winspere always felt out of step with the world around her and for good reasons. She is a genetically engineered vampire-werewolf hybrid but she has no idea! Created as the ultimate weapon, Nicolette is a timid African American woman caught in the middle of a deadly war between humans and non-humans.

After narrowly escaping the clutches of her “parents”, she begins a new life with no intentions of looking back. However, after 5 years of freedom, her hybrid genes start attacking her human ones forcing her to do the one thing she swore never to do…return to where it all began. Upon her arrival home, Nicolette finds herself in a desperate fight to keep her life, her freedom, and her humanity all while dealing with the unexpected re-appearance of an old flame. Truths will come to light, the inexplicable will happen, and monsters will be birthed!
