Ivy Kingdom has never been known for happy endings.

For a thousand years, Ivy Kingdom had been ruled by a family of tyrants. First-born males who slant the laws into their favor and pillage whatever they want from the world. Over time, the importance of females has eroded into an afterthought. A woman's physical presence is one more commodity that can be discarded and replaced.

Until a lazy wolf kick starts a chain of events that might lead to a quiet revolution. Join him and the three brave women who'll take center stage in this evolving landscape. A stepsister, a witch, and a useless old woman abandoned by her family to die.

If their individual battles result in overturning a blighted legacy, then perhaps this rotten kingdom might finally win a joyful epilogue.

Just don't expect a smiling princess to walk arm in arm up a wedding aisle.

The Boxset contains the following titles:

Red Riding Hood's Not-So-Bad Big Wolf

Cinderella's Not-So Ugly Stepsister

Hansel & Gretel's Not-So-Old Crone

Snow White's Not-So-Evil Stepmother

Sleeping Beauty's Not-So-Weak Prince

What would you do?

Running into the warm, protective arms of a man who could be the only thing standing between her and losing everything she loves, there's finally a sliver of hope. Trust isn't easy to come by when everything's crumbling around you, but something about him... Well, it's right when everything else is wrong.

Tate Silver is on the run from himself. When the most gorgeous woman in the world literally runs into him, he has to stop and wonder if it isn't time to stand his ground. Tessa fits against him perfectly and he won't let anything happen to her - finally someone worth fighting for. Finally someone worth finding himself and his pack for.

Even if the gates of hell themselves want to open up and consume all that is good, Tate knows he can fight it. He has to.

The voices in her head have decided to kill her.

Most people joke about hearing voices in their heads. For Chloe Jeffries, they’re real. And as the creative force behind one of the most popular shows on television, she has used the constant flood of voices in her mind to her advantage: fuel for entertainment.

But now one of the voices has decided it wants Chloe all for itself.

Ex-Special Forces soldier Shane Westman just wants to make it back to his ranch in Wyoming to begin to heal from the horrors of war. The last thing he needs, even as a favor for a good friend, is to take on bodyguard duty of a flighty television writer. But once he does, he realizes there are threats at play he doesn’t understand. And the woman who has somehow begun to thaw his frozen heart is in desperate danger from a menace they can’t see, but is always close.

Someone determined to be the last voice Chloe ever hears.

Three sisters. Triplets. Each with a gift they can't quite explain, or control. It's just instinct.

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author and seven time Amazon All Star Author:

Planning on having a little "work" done? What if after the facelift you looked like a lot of other women in the area?Could you murder the plastic surgeon who did the work?

Someone in the wealthy Palm Springs area murdered the plastic surgeon, but who? Was it one of his former patients disappointed with the result of a facelift? An associate, jealous of the doctor's success, and who wanted more money so he could buy a bigger yacht? His administrative assistant who had spent the last twenty years of her life hopelessly in love with him? His wife, because he'd decided to divorce her? Or even his ex-wife, who had custody of their children, and would inherit a lot of money if he was dead?

With so many persons of interest, what's needed in this case is a psychic, and fortunately the police detective's sister-in-law, Laura, is one of the best. Join Police Detective Jeff Combs, his wife, Marty, who happened to be in the process of appraising the doctor's antique Shaker furniture collection when he was murdered, and Laura, as they try to determine who killed the doctor.

As always, plenty of food, recipes, and dogs. Enjoy!

A Standalone Romance.

When one is denied of something for so long...sometimes the best way to acquire it is through drastic measures...

An heiress and a man set to take over her father's company.
Arranged marriage with two stubborn and equally vindictive characters.
Stifling sexual tension. A push-and-pull maddening, combustible chemistry.
A war of words-of love-thrusting them to the brink of insanity.

Like oil mixing with water, one cannot drown the other. In the end, no one ever wins.

Cloaked in the identity of David Xavier, a billionaire player in multiple world theaters, Mike White Cloud worked to enter the Russian Mafia’s lair, by stalking a shadowy creature named "The Concierge." The Russian woman brokered young innocents into slavery, and Mike meant to destroy her and the organization she worked for. He should have despised her for the atrocious crimes she facilitated, but too often love and hate are the flip sides of the same coin, and what Mike felt for Taty was not hate. It didn't matter. He'd destroy the Bravata and all its associates--even if it meant part of his soul sat in prison for the rest of her life.

Driven by heartbreak, Tatyana Petrov joined the elite British M16 unit, and for eight years, wormed her way into the trust of the Bravata as she strove to identify the human filth selling those innocents to billionaires like David Xavier. She'd found it easy to loathe the wealthy men who bought her "toys"--until David. For reasons that she wouldn't acknowledge, she wanted to protect this one man from the retribution rapidly approaching.

Neither knew the other's true mission but even as mortal adversaries, they'd each given the other a part of their soul, and now only devastation and sorrow waited.

He loved her beyond anything and everything—precisely why he couldn’t ever marry her.

A wounded hero.

Love—sentimental drivel for insipid, weak, feckless fools.

Since an explosion ravaged Captain Morgan Le Draco’s face and cost him his commission in the Royal Dragoons, he’s fortified himself behind an impenetrable rampart of cynicism and distrust. Now destitute and shunned by the very society that once lauded his heroics, he’s put aside all thoughts of marrying and having a family. Until he risks his life to save a drowning woman. At once, Morgan knows Shona’s the balm for his tortured soul, but as a wealthy, titled noblewoman, she’s too far above his humble station and can never be his.


An intrepid wallflower.

Love—a treasured gift reserved for those beautiful of form and face.

Scorned and ridiculed most of her adult life, Shona, Lady Atterberry believes she’s utterly undesirable and is reconciled to spinsterhood. She hides her spirited temperament beneath a veneer of gauche shyness, until a strapping, scarred stranger saves her life, and she can’t deny her immediate, powerful, and sensual attraction to him. Despite how ill-suited they are and innuendos that Captain Le Draco is a fortune-hunter, she cannot escape her growing fascination.


Two damaged souls searching for love.

Others are determined to keep them apart, and Shona is goaded into placing a wicked wager. One that sets her upon a ruinous path and alienates the only man who might have ever loved her. Is true love enough to put their pasts behind them, to learn to trust, and heal their wounded hearts?


Warning: This book contains one devilish, seemingly irredeemable rogue, an on-the-shelf wallflower who dabbles in wicked wagers, an unexpected and most enticing swim in a lake, a villainess you’ll want to shove into said lake, and a cast of captivating secondary characters with their own tantalizing romantic tales.

For 18-year old Janelle, the transition from high school senior to practitioner of the magic arts is traumatic. Ripped from her comfortable suburban life, she is stranded in a wild land where elemental monsters roam the countryside. With her memories in tatters and her magical abilities inconsistent and limited by debilitating headaches, Janelle struggles to find her standing in this world, unsure whether it’s a “real” place or the product of a comatose or diseased mind. After proving her value to the citizens of a small community, Janelle must travel on a journey of self-discovery, seeking not only to better understand her talents but to determine how the secrets of her past might inform her present. And, even as she attempts this, genocidal forces begin massing with the goal of claiming the world as their own by annihilating its current inhabitants.

From James Berardinelli, the author of “The Last Whisper of the Gods” trilogy, comes a new saga that combines epic fantasy, subtle romance, and dimension hopping. “Lingering Haze” is the first book of “The Elusive Strain”, a series that invites readers to accompany Janelle as she battles evil while exploring a fantastical new world and seeking to uncover the truth about the events that led to her being summoned.
