Kiss of Twilight is book two in the Darkfire Chronicles series of paranormal romances featuring my dragon shifter guys, the Pyr. It will be the first new book that I launch at Kickstarter. At Kickstarter, there will be the ebook, a special edition trade paperback and a fancy hardcover edition. There will also be a special edition trade paperback and fancy hardcover for Kiss of Enchantment offered in the same campaign.
Here’s the cover for Ashe and Flammara’s book which will appear on the retail ebook and retail trade paperback, and a first pass at the cover copy.
One forbidden kiss may be their doom…
The spark of the firestorm draws Ashe, a dragon shifter, to his destined mate, just as it has for hundreds of his kind. The attraction between Ashe and Flammara is both immediate and incendiary – and forbidden. A match with another dragon shifter is the oldest taboo of their kind. Drawn together by desire, duty and a potent love, Ashe and Flammara cannot resist temptation. Will they become outcasts – or can the ancient and unpredictable power of darkfire be harnessed to give their shared future a chance?
Two ongoing paranormal romance series unite in this steamy romance of forbidden love. The firestorm has never burned hotter!
The special edition cover will be created in July, but it will be similar to the special edition cover for Kiss of Enchantment, shown below. (It needs to have two dragons, for starters.) We’ll be working out all the other details in July, too, like the image on the case laminate, shiny foil on both the dust jacket and the case laminate, the printed edges and more.
The timing is starting to shape up for this campaign, too. I have the artist booking in July and am ordering some other materials now so that I can have sample copies of both special editions of Kiss of Enchantment printed before launching the campaign. I’ll be finishing the writing of Kiss of Twilight this summer, too. So, it’s looking like a September campaign, with books shipping by the end of the year. The retail editions of Kiss of Twilight will then go on pre-order at the retailers for spring 2026.
Follow the campaign here to be notified when it launches.

Flammara is one of the royal daughters of Incendium (a dragon shifter princess from space) while Ashe is one of the Dragon’s Tooth Warriors who has been left behind by the darkfire crystal by the beginning of Kiss of Destiny.
The Pinterest board for Kiss of Twilight is a work-in-progress: you can see what I’ve done so far right here.
