BOOK SYNOPSIS
Every time she closes her eyes, he’s there…waiting for her.
Working night shift at a mental hospital was never Brandi Connelly’s dream job, but in order to pay her grandmother’s medical bills she’s willing to do whatever she has to. Her new job seems like a piece of cake, there is only one thing keeping her from enjoying it – Draken Barrand, a patient.
Thoughts of her patient haunt her night and day and she’s too embarrassed to tell anyone about the strange dreams she’s having about him. Partly because she’s afraid they will think she’s crazy…mostly because the things that go on while she’s sleeping make her blush.
As the nightly visions become all too real she’s afraid they’re not dreams at all. If these nightly fantasies are real, that means everything her dream lover has told her is real, which means that the little mating ritual she so excitedly participated in was real. Soon she will change into a demon and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Claimed and marked, she now belongs to a creature of the night. There’s just one upside to this – he’s trapped behind the walls of a mental institution. That means she has time to figure out a way to stop the change… well, she would’ve had time, if her mate hadn’t broken out of his cell.
He’s tired of being alone.
Draken Barrand is determined to claim his mate. There’s just one problem - he’s unlawfully trapped behind the walls of a mental institution. The only way he can reach her is through her dreams, where he claims her and marks her as his own. But his mate’s life is threatened when the Leader of his Legion finds out about his unlawful mating.
Will Draken be able to break free of his cell in time to save his woman? If he does, will she finally accept him as the man of her dreams and her reality?

EXCERPT
Though his demon couldn’t fully emerge, Draken still pulled back and stared down at his woman. She blinked up at him. The lust she felt showed in her expression. He wanted to satisfy her, wanted to slate her lust then tease her body until it returned.“Why did you stop? I didn’t want you to stop.”

CHARACTER BIOS
Draken Barrand:
Trapped in a mental institution, Draken has never experienced the outside world. There's been no first kiss for him, no first job, no first crush. The poor demon hasn't even tasted chocolate before. All of that changes when he meets Brandi. With new sensations coursing through his body, he's determined to claim her. First, he has to break out of the psych ward. Second, he has to learn to calm his inner beast. Both man and beast want a taste of Brandi. They refuse to let an annoying thing like cell bars and demonic rules keep them away from her.
Brandi Connelly:
Curvy with a hint of sass, Brandi has spent most of her life hiding in the shadows. Picked on as a kid because she was a little heavier than the popular girls, Brandi believed she would never meet a man who would appreciate her, curves and all. To her surprise, she finds that and more in Draken Barrand. Too bad he's a patient in the psych ward. Oh yeah, and he's a demon. Go figure. Did I mention she's his mate?
Josphe Barrand:
He's the Leader of the Legion. He doesn't have time for love, friends or even family. The only thing on his mind is getting the job done. He's willing to kill to make sure he achieves his goal. The only thing in his way is his cousin Draken and Draken's new mate. But they won't be in his way for long. Killing them will be easy. Or so he thinks...

Interview:
Where are you from?
I’m a southern gal, born and raised in Mississippi.
Tell us your latest news?
Well, I have a new release titled Her Dream Lover that is available now on Amazon. I will also release a short horror story called, DAWN, next month under my pen name M’Renee Allen. And, I’m working on a steamy sci-fi romance series that I can’t wait to share with you all. So, yeah, I’ve been very busy.
When and why did you begin writing?
I’ve always loved reading and writing. Ever since I was young I’ve wanted to write a book. I started in high school, but didn’t take it serious until about three years ago.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I think it was when I saw my first book cover with my name on it. It was an amazing feeling.
What inspired you to write your first book?
I just decided to take a chance. At first, I was nervous that no one was going to like it and that it wouldn’t sale. My husband told me to push those fears to the side and do it. So I guess you can say my hubby inspired me. However, let’s not tell him that. His head is already big enough.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I love writing from multiple point of views. Some people frown at that, but I think it’s awesome. I also love reading books that are written that way.
How did you come up with the title?
With Her Dream Lover, it was easy because the hero is the heroine’s dream lover. He seduces her in her dreams before they finally meet in reality.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
The heroine in Her Dream Lover is curvy. I want readers of all shapes and sizes to know that their beautiful no matter what their size is. My heroine, Brandi, struggles with her weight, she lacks confidence. Of course, her mate loves her the way she is. However, I didn’t want her to start loving herself simply because a man said she was sexy. I wanted her to love herself because SHE believed she was sexy and by the end of the book, she does.
How much of the book is realistic?
Um, I would say 50 percent. It’s a paranormal romance so it’s created from my wild imagination. However, it takes place in Chicago Illinois, so the city is real, the locations are real but the characters and their powers are pure fiction. But, I hope it feels real to the reader.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
No, but I do wish I knew a sexy demon who would haunt my dreams.
What books have influenced your life most?
There isn’t a book that has influenced my life. My life, my goals, my dreams have all been influenced by my parents.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Kresley Cole, she’s my favorite writer and I love how she brings her characters to life.
What would you like my readers to know?
I hope they enjoy reading Her Dream Lover as much as I enjoyed writing it. Book two is coming soon! And thanks for having me.
