Heart’s Curse Release Day

It’s release day for Heart’s Curse!

I’m so thrilled to see book one of the Montanari Universe – Heart’s Curse – finally in the hands of readers.  This is my first foray into using a pen name and I’m excited to see if Sirena Corbeau with her horror-tinged take on paranormal romance can connect with readers.

The Montanari Universe

Each book in this series is connected through the character of Dante Montanari—a wealthy CEO and dragon-shifter whose actions impact everyone around him.  And while some of his decisions are benign, others have unintended consequences, and yet still others can spell for trouble.  You can expect 3 more books in this universe in 2026 – Forged in Flame, Curselocked, and Swamp of Shadows. This fun, steamy series will serve up the Hawaii based dragon-shifter (+baby!) romance in June—perfect for summer beach reading.  Learn more: Sirena Corbeau

Heart’s Curse

In Heart’s Curse, Lucas Kane has worked for Dante Montanari ever since the day he tried to pick the dragons pocket.  But with the acquisition of the Lucky Heart Hotel & Casino, this one time street kid is now poised to be the head of the Montanari Corporation’s Vegas division.  There’s just one teeny tiny little problem… It’s cursed.  Fortunately for Lucas, there just happens to be a gorgeous witch checked in on the third floor.  Too bad for him Charlotte “Charlie” Auvray has no magic. But as the curse sends guests running and blood pouring from the faucets, Charlie may be the only one who can save them.  In Vegas, the stakes aren’t just money—they’re life, love, and destiny.

Alekos!

Alekos Now Available!

Whew!  I’ve made it to summer and the final (for now) book of my Rejects Pack trilogy.  Alekos wraps up the storyline started in the books 1 and 2 (Hudson & Killian) in what I hope is a satisfactory conclusion.  Hint: I’m trying to tell you there’s a Happily Ever After without giving away any spoilers.

Challenges

This series tested my creativity in quite a few ways.  I actually started Alekos first and then went back and wrote the first two installments.  This created a challenge in that the first two books were therefore more honed in to their themes and where they had to end up in order for book three to make sense. But that also meant that I had to a fair bit of editing on Alekos in order to make all the little plot jigsaw pieces line up.

I also started it during the pandemic and then was faced with the decision to include or not include the pandemic in the text. I ended up choosing to include it but with only light mentions rather than as a plot point.  One of the most curious things about the 1918 Influenza epidemic is that it seemed virtually unmentioned in fiction of the time.  It was certainly influential as a theme, but most of us haven’t ever read a story that features masks or other remnants of that outbreak.  When that was first pointed out, I couldn’t understand why.  It seems notable and worth a short story or two to try and capture the moment.  I did write one Covid piece of short fiction based on the drag races that sprang up during the lock downs (Fireball Rolled a Seven – Crimecucopia Funny Ha Ha edition), but writers have seen very sharp opinions from readers about mentioning the pandemic in novels mostly they don’t like it.  Reading is for escape and bringing Covid back into the escapist fantasy isn’t always wanted.  However, it was one of the hurdles my heroine had to overcome, so I left it in without dwelling on it. Hopefully, readers now have had enough distance that seeing a mention of a mask in fiction won’t send them scurrying for the door.

What to Expect

But I think I rose to meet the challenges of crafting a Indiana Jones / The Mummy inspired series that gives magical new worlds, globe trotting adventures, and mythological beings, archaeological mysteries, and one very pissed off ancient Egyptian mummy(ish) person. And I can’t wait for readers to be able to share the complete (for now) adventures of the Rejects Pack.
