Never-turned-werewolf Jude is trapped.

Sold like a broodmare by her family. Engaged, claimed, and discarded by the son of her new pack’s alpha. Kept apart and secluded, a reminder that she’s broken, a shameful secret to hide away.

Jude is left alone and in heat with no one . . . no one but the shadowy bodyguard in her fiancé's employ. Lux is sinister and silent, invisible in the shadows — for everyone but her. As Jude and her incorporeal jailer grow closer, she can’t imagine captivity without him.

When a lifeline appears, Jude has the opportunity to break free, but she can't do it alone. She must be willing to embrace the darkness . . . if only the darkness will embrace her in return.

Shadows & Light is a high heat novella set in the Cambric Creek universe, intended only for an adult audience. Full content advisories available on the author’s website.

Welcome to the Cambric Creek After Darkverse, where there's not as much sugar and a lot more spice. Our stories still take place in the community you already know and love, but these will not be the frothy, fun, cotton candy confections you're used to, and they will not all wrap up with a neat little HEA bow.
This isn't dark romance, but it's considerably dimmer than the light-hearted romps you might be used to from Cambric Creek. You can expect detailed content advisories and HFN endings, but please don't mistake this for our main series.
For those readers who don't care to walk the streets of Cambric Creek at night, fear not, my loves! I know this won't be everyone's cuppa, and that's okay — there are plenty more stories in the Sweet & Steamy series ahead!
