Two broken hearts find love and healing in each other in this sexy contemporary romance spin-off from the New York Times bestselling author of the Rock Chick and Dream Man series.

Evan "Evie" Gardiner has spent her whole life being the responsible one in her family, but enough is enough. It's time to pursue her own dreams. Evie's finally going to finish that engineering degree she's been working toward. But first she needs to come up with the money to pay for tuition. Working as a dancer at Smithie's club seems like the perfect solution to her problems . . . until her family lands in yet another scrape and comes to Evie for help. Only, this time, her family's recklessness is risking more than her dreams-it's endangering her life.

Daniel "Mag" Magnusson knows a thing or two about desperation and disappointment, but no one notices that his good looks and quick wit hide the painful memories that haunt him. When Evie's family puts her in danger, Mag insists on offering Evie his protection. He has the skills to guard Evie's life, but as they grow closer, Mag realizes he'll need to come face-to-face with his demons to prove himself as the man who will protect her heart.

Either I defeat the monster, or I become the monster.

As if being locked up in the crazy house wasn't bad enough, I wake up to discover that my nightmares are coming true. As in, the person I trust most in the world just morphed into a bloodthirsty monster. My only chance for escape comes in the form of two women who start calling out from within a shimmering tunnel. So, it's either stick around and get murdered or jump through some kind of portal. And there I was thinking my new meds were working.

I take Door Number Two and find myself ushered into the world of the Shadow Order, an ancient society of witches dedicated to protecting the covens. (Who me, a witch? Well, that sure explains a few things.) I'm given a choice: I can either go it alone and take my chances, or join their magical training program. Seeing as one option involves dying, I soon find myself alongside other young witches learning how to hone their magic. The problem being I didn't even know I had magic, never mind how to use it. There's also the small issue of it being unique enough to act as some sort of monster-luring beacon. While we know next to nothing about the supernatural psycho on the loose, we do know it changes form by hopping in and out of other peoples' bodies. And, right now, the body it wants most is mine. Why don't I find that flattering?

The Shadow Order (Crossroads Witch Book 1) is a fast-paced, unpredictable new urban fantasy that readers are calling "amazing," "with strong female leads," and "full of excitement!" If you like snarky kickass heroines, fast-paced action, magic, witchcraft and romance, then grab it today!

Six years ago, Kiera Anders resolved to put her painful past behind her, seeking a fresh start in New York. She didn’t count on her past finding her again in the form of Caleb Martin - her brother's former best friend and her first love. Now with millions to his name, a playboy reputation, and a closet full of skeletons, the cold and distant "Mr. Martin" is so different from the sweet Caleb she once knew.

But some things are hard to forget, and the passion that still sizzles between them can’t be denied. No other man could give Kiera that sweet taste of dominance and submission… and now that Caleb’s offering it to her again, how can she refuse? But things aren’t as simple as they used to be, with Kiera’s career on the line, a mountain of secrets between them, and Caleb’s sordid past threatening to catch up to him. It’s dangerous to mix business with pleasure… but it is worth the risk?

**This is the first book of the Risky Business Trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger to be resolved in book two**

Too bad I figure out too late that I can’t live without her in my bed and in my life.
I have to find her.

Then I’ll make her beg and scream my name again.
It seemed like a good plan, till I laid eyes on her.
And discovered I’m not the only one who was keeping a secret.

Book 2: Brendan’s Baby

I’m an O’Shea. A businessman, an ex-Navy SEAL.
When I start a mission, I complete it; just like I was trained to do.
I will sweep the independent beauty off her feet,
I will convince her to stay with me forever.
And when her creep boss shows up on my island to try and stake his claim,
I will show him that no one messes with what is mine.

Book 3: Mickey’s Baby

She tries to tell me she doesn’t need my help,
But we both know that’s a lie.

But there’s no line I won’t cross to protect what’s mine.
And make no mistake about it,
Karin’s all mine.

I make sure to let her know that she’s mine.

I check into a seedy motel, I get a job at his pub, I try to pretend like we can be just friends.
Have I gone crazy in the middle of all my madness?
We find some semblance of happiness together once again,
But I know it can’t last. Not when a man shows up looking for me.
I won’t put Tommy in danger. I’d rather break his heart all over again.

A pitiful past makes for a wicked witch.

Blanchette Red isn't the sweet little witch with the red cloak she’s fooled everyone into thinking she is. The wolf looks tame compared to her vengeance, and she’s out to make them all pay.

Together with her three mates, she crosses the first name off her list: dear ol’ Granny. There’s nothing quite like homemade poisoned cookies to wish her a fast recovery straight to Hell.

This Little Red Riding Hood isn’t playing games; she’s out for blood, and no amount of magic will get in her way. An omega on the war path isn’t one to cross, but throw in her lovers, and her enemies will beg for death.

Warning: This story is intended for mature audiences. It includes foul language, sexual scenes, and graphic violence. This twisted Little Red Riding Hood retelling isn’t for the faint of heart. Be advised this is a reverse harem novel where the main character ends up with more than one mate by the end of the book. And while this story can be read as a standalone and comes with its own HFN, it's recommended you read the books in order to fully enjoy the series since old characters like to pop back up every now and then.

All Elle wants is a little land to call her own. And she has earned it, finding a measure of peace on a lonely isle near the bottom of the Florida Keys. But others have their own designs, especially Billy, her deadbeat, absent husband who could show up any time to claim her or maliciously destroy what he cannot have.

In 1935, as Labor Day approaches, a storm is brewing that will alter Elle’s life and the landscape of the Florida Keys forever. How far will Elle go to protect the little that she has? And if she does the unimaginable, can she keep her freedom?

In the great depression of the 1930’s, No Name Key is still unconnected to the mainland; wild weather, desperate characters and treacherous swamp, a woman has got to use all her strength just to survive.

Set against the backdrop of the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in the Florida Keys, a desperate Elle puts Billy on the last ferry out, on the morning of the storm.

Or did she?

Mrs. Rowlands, Billy’s wealthy paramour believes that Billy may have suffered an even worse fate. But just what did she see, and what will she find out?
And who else remained with Elle on that small island, shut in while the hurricane raged?

Praise for No Name Key
T.D. Allman, award winning author of Finding Florida says "In this book you learn trees as well as mean men and hurricanes can kill you. Elle, the book's protagonist, is as tough and amoral as the crabs that crawl and consume their way through Jessica Argyle's narrative. As one particularly startling gustatory scene demonstrates, that's not all she has in common with the crustaceans. One blustery night in France, I read No Name Key cover to cover, glad I'd locked the door and closed the shutters."


REVIEW BY C.S. GILBERT for KONK LIFE, Key West

Beyond the historical, the book is a hymn to survival, particularly through the eyes of Elle Woodman, whose will to live is tested even before the hurricane, a Category Five monster recently deemed the most destructive hurricane in the history of the United States. Counterpoint to this monster is the much smaller monstrosity of Billy Woodman, Elle's husband.
For the contemporary survivor, Elle is a heroine to look up to, even if the view be divided equally between horror, awe and admiration.
It is in the aftermath of the storm that the tension builds; No Name Key becomes peopled by spirits, benign and not, and returning visitors with muddy motives. The mix of Christian and pagan – or certainly homely superstition --- is the defining spice of the dish; they come to serve as Elle's primary motivation.
Argyle's narrative is strong and sometimes lovely; doubting herself, Elle identifies with the cat that is “all swagger and little substance.” With little dialogue, Elle's story moves forward as a small, sturdy boat in a choppy sea, becoming more and more compelling as the journey continues.

Ye screw with this lass, ye get put on yer ass.

Meet Fionna mac Cumhaill an urban druid coming into her powers and trying to master them. Get the first three books of the Chronicles of an Urban Druid series in this boxed set to join her adventures.

A Gilded Cage

Ye screw with this lass, ye get put on yer ass.

Life sucker-punched me...

I have family I didn’t know about, a magical heritage laying its claim, and a mystery I apparently need to solve.

There are three things I love most in life…my wild and crazy Irish family, Redbreast Whiskey at Shenanigans, and living in Toronto.

Having grown up with five older brothers, I can fight my way out of most situations, either with my wicked sense of humor or my fists. Often both. But when a back-alley brawl leaves me marked with a bizarre Celtic crest on my back, I become a beacon for all things whacked and weird.

My dad is obviously freaked when he sees the tat, but he won’t discuss it.

So, I do what any stubborn red-headed lass would—I ignore all advice and fly to the Emerald Isle to get answers.

And yeah…you know that saying about hindsight being 20/20?

True Story.

Look out, druid world.This mac Cumhaill is like no other.

Will Fiona survive coming into her powers? Will those in Ireland survive Fiona? Can Toronto survive an urban druid and her mythical bear?

A Sacred Grove

My outlook on life isn’t complicated—any day that passes when nobody tries to kill me or someone I love gets put into the ‘good day’ column. Simple, right?

Lately, good days have been hard to come by.

Since I totally ignored Da’s warning three months ago and flew to Ireland to embrace our super-secret heritage, I’ve seen the world in a different light—a mythical and magical light.

I am a Druid.

And even though Da and my brothers are all cops, I seemed destined to put out fires. Seriously, the scramble to survive never ends. From quests heaped on me from ancient ancestors, to trampy witches, to misogynistic hobgoblins, I’m pretty much screwed from the get-go. Oh, and don’t forget Barghest. Yeah, those druid Black Dog wannabes are still around and more determined than ever to see us eliminated.

Someone should tell them the best way to make sure I do ;something is to tell me I can’t.

Yeah-no, like Han Solo said… "Never tell me the odds."

A Family Oath

Since being marked as the heir apparent I’ve been stabbed, kidnapped, black-listed, tortured, targeted, and accused of being the cause of pretty much every magical mishap that’s hit the streets of Toronto.

To some, I’m a nuisance, to others a curiosity, and others still—a problem to be eliminated.

Whatevs, haters gotta hate.

But when a mushroom cloud of dark and dangerous falls over my family and friends, there is nothing to be done but answer the call and fight. Who’s manipulating things behind the scenes? Who’s coming after the people I care about? 

And who the hell is stupid enough to think resurrecting the evil Morgan le Fey is a good idea?

Yeah-no, it's not.

With evil brewing, enemies running rampant, and The Lakeshore Guild of Empowered Ones ineffective at policing its members, my family and cool new friends set out to right the wrongs of our world.

Be the change, am I right?

Go up and click "Read for Free" or "Buy Now" and get ready to cheer for the red-haired lass from Toronto!

Serenity

I love traveling. I’ve even made a lucrative career of it.
Traveling through Spring, Florida wasn’t on my radar.
But then again, neither was a vehicle accident.
Now I’m stranded with limited options.
I need help, but I never thought my hero would show up in coveralls, steel-toed boots and a smile that makes my knees weak, and my panties melt.


Greyson

A beer in my hand while watching the waves roll in is where I find peace.
That’s the only plans I make during my downtime.
When a sexy red head with lips that promise heaven needs help, you better believe I’m going to be the one that steps up.
She needs help to get back on the road, but I have other plans.
The only place I want this beauty to travel is in my bed.

Rumor has it that midlife is for drinking wine, traveling, and discovering the joy of life. But there's no rest for the wicked. Or for a Fae-witch hybrid like myself.

Danger follows me everywhere - even to the grocery store - as the evil entity continues to stalk supernaturals in Cottlehill Wilds. But I barely have time to worry about that now that the Fae Queen is dead.

My bad. No, seriously. I let my power loose and it took over.

Leaving Grams behind to return to Eidothea and fight a war wasn't exactly in my plans. As usual, I'm totally clueless. At least I have my orthotic inserts to keep me on my feet and Sebastian and his irresistible kisses to lift my spirits when things go wrong.

And let's face it: things are going to go wrong.

Just because I can cast a spell without burning off my eyebrows now doesn't mean I can survive giant trolls, bogharts, or the insane Fae King. And since my best friends refuse to let me face this battle alone, the stress of saving the realm and the people I love most in both worlds is threatening to turn me prematurely grey.

Sometimes being the Guardian really sucks.

I should wonder why I feel so comfortable with Taylor. Why I’m so enamored with a stranger I met at a bar.

I should, but I don’t.

Alice Brewster is at a low point. After being let go from her job at the ritzy Grant Hotel, she’s taken to hiding out at a dingy Manhattan pub just so that she won’t have to tell anyone the shameful truth.

So when blonde, beautiful Taylor waltzes in one sunny afternoon, Alice is ready for the distraction of an unpredictable new friend.

As Alice and Taylor get closer, Alice confesses the real reason she lost her job — a hotel guest, the wealthy real estate mogul Weston Chambers, assaulted her.

But while Alice wants sympathy, Taylor’s rage is white hot.

We could kill him, she says.

Alice thinks she’s joking. Of course she’s joking.

But then Weston Chambers turns up dead.

And Taylor is nowhere to be found.

Now Alice is the prime suspect in the murder. But can she track down Taylor — and unravel the truth about her new friend’s real motives — before it’s too late?
