The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects—including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

A whisper of uncivil war…

Dr. Kate Winter’s psychic gifts become the pathway and a sword. Her specialty is paranoid psychopathic narcissists.

Kate’s new client is the United States of America.

“My connections are deep and global. Kate’s connections are universal,” Clay said. Her partner in Security One and in life. But a woman with psychic abilities and flawless instincts, which traditionalists contend negate her advanced degrees, is less respected by the men who play spin the globe.

It will take a diverse array of Americans to fight the forces in power. Rousing the alt-White network of President John Jefferson Richards.

The lure of savage power. 

“To secure the existence of our people.” 

THEY’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS…IF THEY CAN BOTH STAY ALIVE

CIA Agent Alejandro Cardenas fell for her the moment he took a pratfall in front of the Arc de Triomphe, a ploy to distract the guys tailing her. The action-packed but romantic protection assignment led to a steamy six-year affair, after which they parted, knowing they were soul mates, perfect for each other—except that each was married to someone else.

Ten years after Paris Alex, now a widower, is retired from the CIA. Julia, the beautiful lady from Paris, is a founding partner of a Chicago investment firm, currently handling the IPO for a Miami-based conglomerate. But the conglomerate is secretly owned by the Cuban government, which has used it for decades to launder the ill-gotten gains of a vast criminal empire that includes drug-smuggling, revolution for hire, and numerous other nefarious activities.

Julia’s rising financial stardom—along with Alex’s influence—bring her a high profile position in the Cuban-American community, but when a pair of Cuban generals undertake a massive assassination plot, Alex realizes he has placed her in danger. To protect the love of his life, he comes out of retirement and assembles the Alpha Team, a deadly tactical force of former associates.

I know all the curves and all the angles, and if it gets rough then so be it, I got plenty strength, I'm double tough, and I never quit. And if need be I'll pull my artillery to get you some answers, because I don't care about the mistakes you've made or how you chose to live your life, sometimes even the unjust deserve a little justice.

A cabin in the woods.

A hostage situation.

A sabotaged mission.

The trauma that rocked her world as a young girl threatens her even in her adult life.

As a seven-year-old, Seabring Roberts was held captive in a cabin with her younger brother, Andrew, while her father was forced to sabotage a crucial military jet engine project. In spite of his cooperation, things went south when negotiating the safe return of his children. His treason cost him not only his life but that of his four-year-old son. The seven-year old daughter was left alone in the middle of the woods, with the bodies of her younger brother and her father, with no resources or instruction on how to survive the wilderness. A trucker found her in the desert, hungry, cold and terrified.

The perpetrators were never found, and her father’s treachery remains well-documented.

Two decades after Seabring’s safe return home, and having spent years dealing with the mental trauma of her capture, she works as a reporter at the San Francisco Daily Chapter. The history is dead and buried. The case has been closed, naming Tom Roberts as the saboteur, as no contrary evidence could be recovered.

The Air Force Special Investigations team did make one attempt, ten-years ago, to find some evidence to clear her father’s name and failed. Only one officer, Captain Nick Anderson believed that there was more to this mothballed case. After this lengthy absence, he is back in Seabring’s shadow, watching her movements. She follows increasingly more dangerous leads in a bid to bring justice to the memory of her father and brother. Until finally, she gets so close to the truth it starts boxing her in.

In a clash as past meets the present – it’s fight or flight.

But Hannah Sheraton intrigues her and, when the girl is charged as an adult, Josie cannot turn her back. But the deeper she digs the more Josie realizes that politics, the law and family relationships create a combustible and dangerous situation. When the horrible truth is uncovered it can save Hannah Sheraton or destroy them both.

The Plot

Anurag is a disturbed young man drudging along in an unhappy marriage for the last five years. To make matters worse, he has developed insomnia. As he sits awake every night, he reminisces and recounts memories, in a diary, that are too dark to share with anyone in person.

The diary gives him a release but he remains oblivious to the potential consequences of the diary becoming public, considering the inconceivable confessions he has made to it.

A string of women seemed to have been able to find love and comfort, at various times, in this abominable man. But does Anurag himself believe that there is still some good in him?

Can a man this far resigned to life have any hope of redemption? Can he find any reason to finally commit to making a change?

Journey to the country of Jaiya, in a world not quite like ours. Here the humans wield magical powers and fight against an Empire which seeks to enslave them, but they share their world with insect people and trollfolk, and stranger things lurk in the shadows…

Vanti would be happy to spend her life in dance and choreography, but her family chooses her as their champion in a deadly gladiators’ tournament. To save her country from enslavement, she must defeat King Obiar the Conqueror and his magical powers. But will the brooding trainer named Gurion be her guide in the battle to come…or a dangerously handsome distraction?

Note: Tyrant is meant as a standalone with a “happily ever after” ending. However, the heroes in the later books in this series are descended from Vanti and Gurion, who are also the ancestors of some of the characters in the original Jaiya series. The romance is on the sweet side, but there is some violence due to the villains’ actions and the tournament in which the main characters fight.

In the cornfields of Nebraska a woman is found murdered, strung up on a pole, the victim of a deranged killer. It doesn’t take long for the police to realize a serial killer is on the loose—and that his spree has just begun.

Detective Mackenzie White, young, tough, smarter than the aging, chauvinistic men on her local force, finds herself called in grudgingly to help solve it.

Mackenzie, reeling from her own dark past, her failed relationships, and her undeniable attraction to the new FBI agent, finds herself battling her own demons as her hunt for the killer takes her to the darkest places of her mind. As she delves into the killer’s mind, obsessing over his twisted psychology, she finds that evil truly does exist. She only hopes it will not be too late to extricate herself from it, as her entire life collapses around her.

As more bodies turn up dead and a frantic race against time ensues, there is no way out but to find him before he kills again.
