Grateful Knight isn’t looking for love when she moves into a rent-free house on the edge of a graveyard. At twenty-two, all she wants is to recover financially so she can move back to the city where she belongs.

But sparks fly when the gorgeous cemetery caretaker, Rick, introduces himself and mentions his suspicion that her new house might be haunted. Her attraction to him seems supernatural, and despite her resolve to not get involved, she literally can’t keep her hands off him.

When things in Grateful’s house start moving on their own, another man enters her life, Logan, a sexy ghost with a dark secret. He says Rick isn’t what he seems, and indulging her passion for him could cost her soul.

One thing’s for sure, magical forces are at work in the tiny town of Red Grove, and they’re converging on Grateful. Life will never be the same once she's forced to choose between the ghost and the graveyard.

SNOWBOUND (FireFrost Book 1)
Sophie wouldn't call herself the prettiest or most popular girl at brand new Dublin High, but she does have a wickedly sharp tongue and a remarkable talent with paints and canvas.

Never too far from her sketchpad, she can’t seem to resist trying to capture the enchanting beauty of a new boy at her school – but thinks she’ll surely perish from embarrassment when he catches her in the act. To her surprise, he is impressed with her skill, and even ends up coming over to sit for her.

With such a perfect muse, Sophie’s artistic skills develop rapidly, and with such a handsome and charming young man interested in her, it seems like she’ll be more than prepared for both the art gallery opening and the Homecoming dance!

But, while her own life skips along, interrupted only by a terrible recurring stomach flu, her town is undergoing some mysterious changes. Snow in a Texas September is unheard of, a terrible fire takes out the end of her block, and there’s something whispering in the shadows…

Her friends warn her away from her captivating new love interest, saying he is dark, cold, dangerous – but his touch is too electric to pull away, even when it’s clear that he is not what he seems...perhaps not even human.


Clarity
Her world has always been dark, but he might be able to change everything...

Fiercely independent Helen Winters was born completely blind, but she vowed never to let her disability keep her down. She did not expect a traumatic event to devastate her life and force her to drop out of college. Disillusioned by the cruelty of people, Helen retreated from society to live by herself as a reclusive writer in the woods--where no one could ever hurt her again.

When a brilliant young doctor shows up on her doorstep, promising her that his new research can give her the ability to see for the first time, Helen stubbornly refuses. She has learned not to trust anyone, and to rely only on herself. But Dr. Liam Larson will not take no for an answer. He makes it his personal mission to rescue Helen from her loneliness, and bring joy into her world once more--the joy she has denied herself for so long.

When Helen's demons come racing back into her life, threatening to rip her apart and destroy the strength she has carefully rebuilt, Liam is the only one who might be able to save her. Can he reach the broken girl in time, helping her to heal and see the world in a different light? Or will Helen's grief send her spiraling out of control, lost to him forever?

When Ay'Sha, a 17 year old high school soccer star, is attacked on her way home from practice, she is thrown headlong into a supernatural quest to restore an ancient, sentient crystal known as the Amphetris, and the race of shapeshifters it created. The Chimeras.

But the Chimeras have never discovered how to access this key. Many of the shapeshifters have fallen to darkness, many more have surrendered the quest, including their king, Sheshon, who hides in New Orleans in the guise of a museum director named Sean Peterson.

He ignores the whispers that Ay'Sha is the Kingsoul even when fate throws them together. But he is the only one strong enough to protect her from the fallen Chimera who would use Ay'Sha to bring about a cataclysm that will destroy mankind.
