S h o n e l  J a c k s o n

I fell in love with romance novels as a teenager.  Throughout my life, I have consumed them ravenously.  I started writing my own a few years after reading my first.  Nothing could stop me after that.

I love to write strong female leads, primarily women of colour.  My ladies are vibrant, worldly and not afraid of a challenge.  My male leads are irresistible and smouldering and will stop at nothing to win their prize.

You'll laugh, maybe shed a little tear and drown in the worlds I like to weave.

OUTPLAYED
Era Capoeira, Book 3

Willow Blake is a viper by nickname in the Capoeira arena, but perhaps she should've also been a viper by nature in other aspects of her life too. If she had been, she'd have sniffed out her ex-husband's antics before it was too late. Willow has been burned, but not broken, and she's determined to keep her guard up next time in Outplayed, Book 3 and the finale of the Era Capoeira series.

Dominic Made is going through his own version of hell at the moment, and tonight, he's in the foulest mood imaginable. He'd like nothing better than to shut the world out. But he can't. Not tonight. So, he just sits at the bar with his gaze pointing downwards, nursing his top shelf bourbon.

Then, something makes him look up. What, or rather who, he sees, guarantees that he won't look down again. In fact, she causes him to keep a very keen eye to see what will unfold. Blink, and he would've missed it.

Tonight, Willow wants to drink... drink until she forgets where she has to be in a week. The bar is packed, but she wants to speak to no one. Fate, however, has other ideas. Fate sends her two 'someones'.

The first, she has no other choice but to introduce to her alter ego, Viper. And the second, well... let's just say he not only wants to get to know all of Willow, but he also seems to be the type of man who doesn't want to play games. But what does she know? Her instincts about men have done her no favours of late.

 I loved how much of the Brazilian martial arts the author included... utilizing capoeira as a setting at times gave a great fun, competitive, and push and pull atmosphere that works fantastic for a romance.
