“You know what’s going on here?”
“Love is in the air, and it’s starting to stink . . .”

It's Labor Day weekend in Eldrich. A local witch casts a love spell that goes spectacularly wrong, and Meaghan Keele—impervious to magic—has to figure out what happened and how to fix it before everybody kills each other.

But that's not her only problem. The dark wizards known as the Order are back in town, taking advantage of the chaos to summon mysterious creatures with the power to destroy humanity.

Accompanied by a shifting band of allies, including a medium, a leprechaun, a would-be shaman, a government wizard, a love sick cop, and a jealous witch, Meaghan has to fight her way through a town gone mad to a final confrontation in her office in Eldrich City Hall.

At an age where her biggest problems should be hot flashes and saving for retirement, Meaghan has to figure out—once again—how to save the world.

And she hates working on weekends . . .

This is the second book in the City of Eldrich series.

She never thought she would see him again, but now she has to fight for more than just her own future...

This is a full 50 k novel with a guaranteed HEA. It has violence, steam, a forbidden pregnancy and lots of hot shifter SEALs that are sure to blow through all your defenses. Read it as a standalone and fall in love with the shifters that won't back down!

Meredith Wilder had a perfect life, until the day she was assumed dead. As a scientist working on something that could change the world, she dreamed of helping mankind and building a future with the man she loved. A future that never came after a terrorist group caught wind of what she was working on... until that future crashed through the front gate of the encampment she was kept in. It seemed too good to be true, but does reason and rationality matter when the hottest man in the world has come to save your life?

Dice Alderson is a werebear with debts to pay, and the reaper is more than ready to claim them. As the newly minted head of Shifter Squad Nine, he controls a squad of ex-SEAL shifters with more blood on their hands than the rest of The Firm put together. Though control might be too big of a word for men who refuse to submit to authority.
He thought there was nothing to look forward to but more killing, but the first time he saw Meredith again, all of that changed. Now he has everything to fight for, and there's plenty of that in him.

Led together by fate and determination, Dice has to save his fated, keep his crew alive and at bay, and worst of all, save his cub, who is nothing but a pawn for his enemies. Can Dice and Meredith reunite and beat the lies, deceit and pure terror that controls their lives, or is this a new beginning only meant to fail?

When private investigators Kurt Desmond and Cassie Atwood find 10,000-year-old cave paintings hinting at human civilization’s shocking origins, they're immediately thrust into the middle of a millennia-old conspiracy. But these secrets aren’t meant for their eyes, and as the pair pursue the truth, they discover that exposing the actual story of humanity's origins might also lead to its destruction.

Out of options, and with the walls closing in from all sides, Kurt and Cassie must ally with those who have hidden the truth in order to save the world from those who want to expose it any cost.

Tara Bonander’s life is always derailing, but never like this. In the past 24 hours, she’s lost her job, her New York apartment, and her fiancé. Now, when her life is at an all time low, she’s due to spend the weekend as a lonely bachelorette bridesmaid with her newly engaged sister Scarlet. She’ll do anything to find a date.

Celebrity photographer Bill Blakely needs a big payday, the kind that a photo of the Runaway Bride would net him. But his only lead on the wedding is the bride’s cousin, Tara Bonander, who occasionally has drinks at a bar in his neighborhood. When Tara asks Bill over drinks to be her date for a weekend wedding, it’s a gift. She wants him to pretend to be her boyfriend. He wants to pretend he’s only in it for the money. Can one uptown heiress fall for a paparazzi from the gutter? Or will reality take down this fake romance along with the Runaway Bride’s wedding?

True love never dies.

In just a few days a new arrival at Selene's high school will turn her entire world upside down. She's never met anyone so attractive—or so mysterious—before this, but Jace's unyielding insistence that they've known each other for decades can't be denied—not given how familiar he feels to her.

In the hidden world of gods and fairies what you don't know can get you killed faster than anything else and only those you love have any chance of saving you.

ULTIMATE ENDING!

During an age of dwindling energy resources and greedy corporate expansion, Earth receives a warning from a not too distant star system: We are aware of your existence. We will end you.

The colossal mining vessel Ambition undergoes a militarized refit and is sent to confront the alien threat of Pegasi 51. Catastrophic events along the way stretch a seventy year voyage into a seven century odyssey. All communication to and from home has been severed, and the civilization waiting ahead has remained ominously silent.

Captain Ly Sulafat, Ambition's 30th - and likely last - commander, leads this final generation of weary travelers into a hostile star system, ill-prepared, and far too inexperienced to confront what awaits them.

The seven hundred year journey has ended. Time for war.

But the homecoming takes a horrific turn when the babies are abducted, sending both new mothers on a frantic search with few leads.

Lollie Belvedere didn’t plan to kill her husband. Nor did she know her adopted children would turn out to be kidnapping victims. But something in her snaps the day she’s forced to return the babies to their mothers—and now she’ll do whatever it takes to get them back.

Warning! For adults only. Some sexual content.

After the death of her parents, Kat Thomas retreated from college life into an online fantasy game.

But what if the game she plays is closer to reality?

When a panther shifter named Alex knocks on her door one night, he delivers a message and a package. Kat's birth mother was a powerful mage who has just been murdered…and now the killer is after Kat. The package contains her mother’s talisman: an amber necklace that latches onto Kat’s neck and attacks anyone who tries to remove it. Before she knows it, ice is shooting from her hands and she’s on the run from an assassin.

Kat must navigate a world of magic and intrigue, fight the forces who want her dead, and protect her friends from becoming collateral damage—all while coming to terms with her new identity. She’s heir to a powerful legacy, but only if she lives long enough to claim it.

Lauren Rutherford knows she is many things: a failed baker, an orphan, and a computer programmer. She also suspects she is ever so slightly nuts given that she often has conversations with her multiple personalities and Bad Luck is a man who seems to enjoy tormenting her at every opportunity.

What Lauren doesn't know is that she is also a witch. She needs to learn, and fast, because the only thing between her and certain death is Agnes, her long-dead ancestor who has a foul mouth and a passion for G-strings, and Daniel, a sexy as hell male witch who drives her to distraction.

As the last descendant of a long line of witches, Lauren is the victim of a four hundred year old curse. Her life depends on her surviving a challenge set down by three damned souls, a challenge that will take her to hell and back. Literally. And Satan doesn't do tea and scones!

Six months ago, Nathan's sister was brutally murdered.
Now the 23-year-old former playboy desires only one thing: revenge.
Late at night, Nathan trudges down the beach where his sister's body was found. He's searching for answers, but all he finds is a new nightmare: another girl's tortured body.
Only this one isn't dead . . . yet.
The unlikely hero becomes the prime suspect. Saving Caitlin's life was just the start. Nathan must win her trust and unlock the memories hidden in her nightmares to find out who's really responsible . . .before it's too late.

A tiny taste of what's in store:

"Stay away from her, Nathan. That girl isn't good for you."
Stay away from her? I'd go crazy with worry in a day. "You don't know her."
Chris looked grim. "Neither do you. Is there anything you wouldn't do for her?"
"Yes," I snapped. "I wouldn't die for her."
Chris turned around to stare at me, her mouth hanging open.
"Do you want to know why?" I asked steadily. "I wouldn't die for her because I wouldn't be able to protect her any more. What if I missed one of the people who hurt her? I couldn't take that risk. She's too important."
