[post-Blood and Wine] After the witcher let him go, Dettlaff fled Toussaint and the dead woman who tore him to pieces. He intended to stay far from men for as long as he could, but Regis finds him a miserable mess only twenty years later. With his aid, Dettlaff slowly returns to the man he was, but what's missing is his ability to feel anything other than pain and regret, and he loses hope he has any good future at all. Then, alas, a wounded and feisty half-elf by the name of Alma, scorned by the world, stumbles upon him, and in one another they find personality and heartache surprisingly similar to their own. Yet neither readily admits their bond, and neither realize the fate they thought they'd get is very far from the truth. © 2022 by Verona Rohellec. Mature language. Violence/gore. Sexual themes.

Book Three: Ryan Tedder is the face of the newly-formed rebellion, but he thinks he's only half the man for the job. Although he holds a deep rage for President Carter, he doesn't think he's fit to lead the one rebellion that will last. Yet his anger is justified - not only does this dictatorship hold a terrifying reign over the nation, but it's filled to the brim with lies. For instance, there is no war between the United Kingdom and the United States. All the horrors the U.S. had unleashed were not because of a war, but merely gain for a power-hungry tyrant. Yet with the help of a group of trained and combat-ready rebels called "The Green," led by tough and tactical genius Daryl Conley, Ryan holds hope that he will, at last, be able to live his life free again. With Daryl and his group's help, Ryan, his bandmates, and others close to him must find ways to bring the government down, all while they're labeled public enemies and fugitives. On top of being committed for treason, Ryan must continue to find a way to save Ramona from the waves of her returned depression before they finally drown her. There's no doubt he's got a lot on his plate, but he may be the only one who can lead the nation back to independence - and being only half a man isn't going to cut it.© 2017 by Verona Rohellec.

Book Two: They encourage, not the realists and the brave, but the gullible and the fragile, those too weak to fight back. They massacre lower and middle-class citizens once every month to control the growing population through a method called Cleansing. They rid of all music except modern pop to eliminate diversity, keeping only one artist from each state in the music industry. They stop anyone from going in or out of the country and kick out all those not born within the now-armed borders. And that's just the beginning of what they call "The Great Reformation," the grand change of the United States government and all of its operations. All because the United Kingdom has turned against the nation and declared war, or so President Nathaniel Carter says. Carter, as the dictator, begins to tell citizens certain things, things that Ryan Tedder and his bandmates, Zach, Eddie, Brent, and Drew, don't actually buy. After all, physicist Niels Bohr once said, "The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy." Along with this chaos, Ryan is trying to deal with the stress of Ramona becoming distant due to her past reappearing, and the new rules and regulations making his career walk on a tightrope. The national anthem may say otherwise, but the United States is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. Not with the new government. Ryan and the other guys are determined to dig through the lies and find the real reason why. © 2016 by Verona Rohellec. Second installment of the Blooming Passion trilogy. Complete. Mature language.

Book One: Ramona Wood seeks love as a refuge from her horrid, haunting past. In fact, Ramona is so desperate to feel something other than pain, to feel true love, that she can't even tell the mere difference between what's right and wrong for her. That is, until Ryan Tedder, her one and only idol, comes along. As he becomes her new, supportive friend, she sees in him someone she never thought could exist. He shows her that there's more to life than Shawn Murphy, the cold-hearted, abusive man she's engaged to. Ramona, however, is only aching for someone to hold at night, and therefore remains blind to Shawn's true identity, despite the others' attempts to open her eyes to it. After all, a true love stands before her, so clear, so caring...for it could only be Ryan himself, standing with open arms! Is Ramona able to discover what's truly good for her? Can she ever possibly let go of what's killing her and fall into the arms of a man who really matters? © 2016 by Verona Rohellec. First installment of the Blooming Passion trilogy. Complete.
