Mona Lisa Awakening is a smoldering debut novel that delves into the depths of passion, hunger, and danger that can break loose in the moonlight.

From the time she was a child, Mona Lisa knew she was different—but she never realized how different until a man of otherworldly beauty appeared during her night shift in the ER. This man, Gryphon, is not only hurting and hunted, but he attracts her as no man ever has before.

Gryphon is a Monère, one of the children of the moon—and what's more, so is she. Long exiled from the moon, the men of the Monère serve—and mate—with imperious Queens who can channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes that Mona Lisa is a Queen—perhaps the first of Mixed Blood ever known.

Her introduction to the nighttime court of the Monère, simmering with intrigue, casual lust, and calculated cruelty, is far from smooth. The other Queens are infuriated by her potential powers, and they are all menaced by a group of rogue males who have broken away from the women's sway.

Even as she battles threats from within and without, Mona Lisa is determined to discover who she is and to explore the limits of her growing power—and her secret desires.
