I don't scare easily.
But she's haunting my dreams.
Haunting all my fantasies.
And I'll gladly let her.

Although I could have any woman I want,
I’m not a hit it and quit it kinda guy.
I want something more, something lasting and real.
I don’t make a habit of sleeping with the tourists,
But when Elise walks into O’Shea’s Pub, I forget my mantra.
Her fiery red hair, emerald green eyes, and curves for days,
All leave me breathless and a bit off kilter.
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.

Elise is mine to claim.
And so is the precious gift she’s carrying.

A Fallen Angel. The Leader of Cambion Hybrids. Dangerous Sexual Attraction.

Desperate to calm the raging desires of his insatiable inner beast, incubus-human hybrid Dante volunteers to lead recruitment and training for the Dark Warriors. But the demands of Cambion leadership do nothing to quell his physical needs or quiet his troubled mind. As he battles to regain control of his urges and shake the mistakes of his past, he's closer than ever to giving in to his demonic side.

Unlike the rest of the Fallen Angels, Chloe has an uncanny ability to stay off the radar. Millennia of eschewing romantic entanglements and staying out of trouble has served her very well. But after a Daeva demon leaves her for dead, she feels a certain longing to join her fellow Angels in the war to eradicate the demons. And that longing is matched only by her unexpected need for the sexy Cambion Lord who saved her life.

On opposite sides of a battle neither asked for, will Chloe and Dante forsake their truest natures and give in to love?

Reese Jackson is living her safest life. This polymath is tired of trying to fit in with a small town that never knows what to do with her. Her absentee family may have forced her into dorm life for her own good, but she goes from her classes to her room and back—no parties, no dates, and no drawing attention.

Until one noisy night, when Reese gets kicked out of her dorm.

Until one night, when she gets him kicked out of his house.

What happens when there’s one single room left for rent in the entire town and two people who desperately need it? A merrymaking, money-seeking landlord arrives and throws them into a series of ridorkulous challenges to compete for it, of course. It’s the dorky duckling versus the BMOC.

The winner will get a place to live—but the loser may just forfeit their heart.

Are you at your wit’s end with your toddler? Read on to discover how you can tame your little monster.

In children between the ages of 1 and 5, temper tantrums are common, and up to 83% of 2-4 year olds have them regularly.

No matter how well you know that this is an important part of their development, it can take its toll when you’re facing yet another meltdown about the carrots being the wrong shape.

Do any of the below sound familiar?

• Refusing to get dressed
• Screaming blue murder because you asked them to put their shoes on
• Throwing their breakfast on the floor because the spoon’s the wrong color
• Inconsolable tears because the cat went outside

Every parent goes through this. Toddlers are at a stage where they are developing their independence and pushing boundaries, and they have more feelings than they can understand or express.

How many times have you given in to them for the sake of a quiet life?

Most parents have, and if you’ve done it, you know that it doesn’t help you out in the long term.

So how can you handle your toddler’s tantrums in a way that minimizes damage, ends the drama as quickly as possible, and sets your child on the road to being a confident, happy child?

The answer lies within positive discipline, a behavioral management technique that reduces the drama and allows you to set clear boundaries your toddler will understand.

All too often, we resort to punishments, but time and time again, research has shown us that this is useless.

Positive discipline is built around empathizing with your child, giving them space to feel their feelings, and helping them find solutions to their problems.

By rejecting traditional discipline models of reward and punishment, you can create mutual respect between you and your child, improving their confidence and self-esteem for life.

In Positive Toddler Discipline: Proven Strategies to Tame Tantrums and Nurture Their Developing Mind, you’ll find everything you need to know about managing your toddler’s tantrums. Here’s just a taste of what you’ll discover:

• Where the idea of positive discipline comes from--and why it works
• The key reasons why your toddler is pushing your buttons
• The secret weapon to taming your child for good
• The #1 mistake every parent makes when talking to their toddler, and what you should be doing instead
• Why the language you use matters, as well as which type of words your child will respond best to
• How to set helpful consequences without resorting to punishment
• Practical tips to use in the face of a major meltdown
• A blueprint for navigating daily routines with a toddler

And much more.

If you thought drama was an inevitable part of parenting a toddler, think again.

Positive discipline has been proven effective by childcare professionals and focuses on a deep understanding of toddler psychology.

By adopting its key principles, you will be able to reduce the stress in your household and keep your cool every time your toddler has a meltdown.

Stop allowing your child to rule the house--it’s time to get some structure and peace back into your life.

I made a deal with the devil. Now he’s claimed me as his mate.

When my best friend goes missing in Las Vegas, there’s only one man I can turn to for help.

He’s dark, dangerous, and wickedly handsome. Oh, and evil incarnate. I should say no, but I can’t. I’m that desperate.

But when you make a deal with the devil, there's no escaping it. Now he owns my body for seven nights of sin. Even worse, he owns my soul for all eternity.

I’m Persephone being claimed by Hades, and I have no choice but to enter his underworld and become his dark queen.

Is there any light left in that black heart? Or will his darkness consume me?

When politics meets pole fitness, Mel's life flips upside-down.

After Mel’s disastrous promotional video goes viral,  a “family values” group launches a protest against her dance studio. Their leader isn’t just trying to stop her from teaching—he’s using Mel as a moral scapegoat for his own senate campaign. If he wins the upcoming election, he threatens to change the laws to keep all pole dancing out of their community. 

Mel’s no politician, but she's not not going down without a fight. Since running for office beats unemployment, she decides to face off against him. She hires a campaign manager and tosses her hat in the ring. There’s just one problem: voters don’t understand pole. Mel needs to change her image, fast. If she can’t get the people on her side, she won’t have a business to save. Worse, Mel finds herself falling for her campaign manager, Daniel, but she can't tell if he likes Mel the dancer or Melody the candidate.

For Mel, the hardest part of running for office may be protecting her heart.

A Second Chance at First Love.

It's been over a decade since tragedy ripped us apart.
We were just teens, but I never got to tell her I loved her.
Now I'm back in town, and Khloe doesn't want to see me.
Seconds after I walk into her work
I feel the same hot rush of longing I did all those years ago.
I still want her.
But there are secrets in the way.
I'm not the boy I was.
I'm a broken man with demons that chased me back from the Marines.
She's still hurt that I broke my promise.
There's no room in her life for me now.
But this attraction won't be ignored.
Her lush mouth, her touch, they bring light to my dark corners
But my secrets, my past, threaten to scare her off.
I don't know if she can handle what I've become.

I do know I can't stand to lose her again.
Not when I'd do anything to keep her.

Dating My Best Friend is a full-length romance filled of forbidden desires, all wrapped up with a beautiful and sweet HEA sure to make your heart soar! This book is part of the Forbidden Desires Series but stands alone. Books do not have to be read in order.

Blood, passion, and swords. And don’t forget flamethrowers. And one librarian, in over her head.

How did I get here: covered in blood and holding a sword I can’t use?

It all started when the dark and mysterious stranger showed up at my children’s reading hour. Of course I noticed him. I’d been single (and bored) for longer than I care to admit. Me, I’m Anushka (Noosh) Rosetti, head librarian.

He turned out to be a vampire. And not just any vampire: Vlad Dracula. Although he goes by another name these days, and he says he’s changed his violent ways. He definitely seemed more of a lover than a fighter. At first.

In a whirlwind of passion and blood-drinking, I made a crucial but impulsive decision: share blood with him a third time, and give up normal human society forever, making my life among the “am’r”—that’s what the vampires call themselves.

The whirlwind just keeps spinning faster. Before I know it, I’m at an am’r summit meeting—and then, abducted by Vlad’s oldest enemy. He’s hoping to use me to undo all of my lover and my new family’s plans to save am’r society from tearing itself apart.

I thought I was just going to archive some ancient books, but somehow I have to keep myself from being used as a pawn by the craziest bad guy ever, escape back to the good guys (and I’m not sure how “good” they really are) across a desert (I don’t even know what country I’m in!) and not be killed in the process. I don’t know how I will survive the next five minutes, never mind save my beloved’s life, too….

Blood Ex Libris is the first book in a brand new, dark urban fantasy series mixing horror, history, and blood-soaked romance featuring a snarky librarian heroine, a sensual but complex hero in the story of a life that unfolds in unexpected ways from humdrum to death-defying thrills, from Middle America to the middle of an unknown desert, surrounded by sword-fighting, explosions, and the ultimate drama of immortals meeting death.

What to expect: Steamy romance with uninhibited language, strong female lead, alpha male, graphic violence, LGBTQ+ characters, graphic violence, and blood feeding imagery.

"Chilling, fast-paced, and addictive, with characters you'll both love and grow to fear. A must-read." -- Darcy Coates, author of The Haunting of Ashburn House 

When Cath receives her invitation to The Event--a monetised retreat for social media influencers--she can't believe her luck. Irene Jobert is the most famous influencer in the world, and now Cath will be one of the five participants chosen to stay with Irene in a renovated Transylvanian monastery.

The catch? Their every move will be live-streamed to millions of people around the world. Patrons pay for constant access to their favourite social media stars: Irene, the model; Nathan, the gamer; Jules, the blogger; Daniel, the fitness guru; and Cath, the writer.

Nestled halfway up a mountain, the five are isolated, with nothing but the internet to connect them to the world. That is, until eagle-eyed live-stream followers all around the globe notice a sixth participant. A dark figure lurking in the background.

They thought they were alone. Perhaps they were wrong.

Find out in this delicious romcom about love and life in Creek Water, Missouri!

A thought-provoking tale, with a bit of fun:

A raindrop has seen the rise and fall of civilizations and survived deserts of ice and sand. However, despite all of her adventures, she has lost the magic of being alive. That is, until a gust of wind—or perhaps a twist of fate—sends her face-to-face with a lowly rock. But what good could possibly come from a conversation with a rock? Turns out, this is no ordinary rock. This particular rock watches the world around him evolve in the most astonishing of ways, and he can almost touch the hand wielding such bewildering and obvious might. From their sudden encounter, two things spark between them: a friendship and a spiritual quest.

In this lighthearted romp through a serious world, a Rock and a Raindrop explore the many ways—always subtle and often clever—God reveals Himself to us through nature. Along the way, they explore the notion that we are fledgling spirits in a decidedly material world, and contemplate the wonderful and rather extraordinary implications lying therein. This delightful story is perfect for birthdays and other occasional gifts.

Save that MONEY and buy the Boxed Set of The Unbelievable Mr. Brownstone books 19 - 22 (The BBQ years)

(including Road Trip: BBQ and a Brawl, BBQ Delivered with Attitude, BBQ With a Side of No Apologies, BBQ and STFU)

Road Trip: BBQ and a Brawl:

Barbecue is life.  Everything else is just details...AGAIN!

Things are going a little too well for Brownstone as he sticks around the house, and Shay is getting agitated. 

Can a bounty hunter be happy when he has nothing to do?

James goes on a road trip expecting to just eat some barbeque. Unfortunately, trouble is waiting when he arrives. 

The bounty hunter likes to keep things simple, but those who are working to beat up the Oriceran BBQ pitmaster's new place didn't account for him arriving.

Will those attacking give up?  Is stupid contagious?

Instead of a simple BBQ road trip, now he is embroiled in helping a fellow BBQ lover he followed on TV as he helps bring the BROWNSTONE BEAT DOWN.

BBQ Delivered with Attitude:

Can't a man just enjoy a bit of BBQ without getting into a fight?

Apparently not.

One day, James comes home and finds his pregnant wife with drawn gun, a ready knife, and an unknown assailant in their living room. 

The problem is, the person in the living room is hoping the Granite Ghost will help her retrieve some valuable cargo that has gotten...lost.

Now, James has to decide if he will allow an annoying female to persuade him to go on another road trip. 

Even if the road trip takes him to Texas, a state known for its brisket.

Will those who want the artifacts find out he is involved?

Fortunately, there are a lot of BBQ places between Los Angeles and Texas. It just so happens Brownstone gets a chance to stop at a few.

BBQ With a Side of No Apologies:

It’s hard to live a quiet life when you’ve left a trail of beatdowns and men in walls, but sometimes that’s the only way to achieve peace.

James isn’t happy when the head of a Mafia family comes into his restaurant and demands his help. The reputation of James Brownstone is supposed to keep peace in the L.A. underworld, but a few new arrivals didn’t get the memo.

Sometimes you don’t preserve the peace by preparing for war. You go straight to war.

All James’ local trouble might be annoying, but there’s a shining light in the distance: a respected filmmaker wants to film a barbecue documentary with James at the center.

A documentary BBQ road trip up the West Coast is just what James needs to relax, but the filmmaker seems more interested in capturing him beating down magical criminals than his thoughts on brisket.

At the same time, dark forces from beyond Earth are on the move, and they don’t care about barbecue.

James thought he had settled certain problems at the Battle of L.A., but sometimes a personal demonstration is necessary for someone to learn their lesson.

BBQ and STFU:

There is one thing you do not do… go after Brownstone’s family.

Powerful entities on Oriceran listen to prophecy and fear a threat to their home world.

That isn’t the only threat they should worry about.

Whispy Doom is forever trying to get James to upgrade, perhaps for the last time?

What will happen when beings who believe themselves to be invincible do the unthinkable?

Now, there are Brownstones on two worlds, and one young son growing up.

And amongst it all, you have Shay Brownstone as well. 

Scott Beck knows the date and month he will die.

What he doesn’t know is which year.

Minutes away from surviving another April 22nd, there’s a knock at the door…

The first three books in the dark, haunting, dystopian Humanity Series have been brought together in one digital collection. 

① The Warm Machine

In a near-dystopian future, Artificial Intelligence has uncovered the clockwork nature of the universe.

And now, because of the intervention of a religious organisation of Watchers, soon everyone on the planet will discover the date, month and year they will die.

Combining dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and cyberpunk fiction, The Warm Machine is the first novel in the haunting five-part Humanity Series, depicting a future in which humanity is on the brink of annihilation.

It’s not the end of the world … only humanity.

Begin the adventure before it’s too late!

② The Dead Horizon

Some call it the Rapture. Others call it a global genocide. Whatever it was, only thousands of survivors remain on Earth.

When Scott Beck finds himself alive after the Rapture, along with only a few survivors, he retreats to the Lake District in the north of England. Soon after, he finds himself the reluctant guardian of a young woman and on the run from Mathew, a religious megalomaniac, and his Watchers, who are as determined as ever to send every human soul to heaven.

The AI, controlled by Mathew, informs Scott of a dead horizon, past which its view of the deterministic universe vanishes, meaning it can no longer see the future.

Scott, along with what remains of humanity, having lived with the paradox of knowing his own demise, must once again embrace freedom and take hold of the smallest offering of hope if he and humanity are going to survive.

③ The Violet Dawn

In a time of deceit, the truth is more important than ever. But the truth, with humanity on the verge of extinction, is a luxury Scott Beck cannot afford.

Eighteen years after the Rapture, there are only a few thousand survivors left on the planet, all living in Britain. Scott, along with his adopted daughter, Eve, have kept a small band of survivors safe from Mathew and a religious organisation called the Watchers, intent on sending every last soul to heaven.

But when Scott discovers dozens of dead bodies, recently killed by something called The Violet Dawn, he is confronted once again with the truth behind Eve’s violet eyes.

In possession of what remains of an AI that could either destroy or save humanity, Scott faces an impossible decision. If he is to help humanity survive, he must confront the darkness of human extinction.
