Welcome to Whistle Stop...where anything can and most likely will happen.

The notorious cowboy meets his match...

Cord Lawson instantly distrusted the young woman in a smart suit who'd just arrived in Whistle Stop. She was very pretty and clearly a city girl--but with memories of his failed marriage still darkening his mind, he's determined to steer clear! But she's sniffing around his land--land that has been in his family for generations. There was no way he'd let it go--even if the bank was threatening to foreclose, and even if selling could give Whistle Stop a new lease on life.

Alexis Greer had one mission--close the deal on the Lawson ranch; without it, her father's land development company would go bankrupt. But the word around town is to keep clear of Cord and to stay away from his precious land. What had happened to cause such a handsome cowboy to live such a solitary existence? However, determination was Lexi's middle name. She just had to keep on trying to breach Cord's barriers, to appeal somehow to his head and heart--even if it put her in danger of losing both of hers...to him.

From USA Today bestselling author Julianne MacLean comes the next instalment in her popular Color of Heaven Series, where people are affected by real life magic--and occasional miracles that have the power to change everything they once believed about life and love.

Recently divorced television reporter Katelyn Roberts has stopped believing in relationships that last forever, until a near-death experience during a cycling accident changes everything. When she miraculously survives unscathed, a deeply-buried memory draws her to the quaint, seaside town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

There, on the rugged, windswept coast of the Atlantic, she finds herself caught up in the secrets of a historic inn that somehow calls to her from the past. Is it possible that the key to her true destiny lies beneath all that she knows, as she explores the grand mansion and its property? Or that the great love she's always dreamed about is hidden in the alcoves of its past?

The death of her father and the collapse of his fortune forces innocent pre-med student Alyssa Carlyle into the erotic world of high class escorting. She soon discovers her mysterious boss is also her estranged and provocative stepbrother Mace. Neither can deny their shameless desire and steamy passion, but can they develop the trust and commitment needed to escape the dark world they've entered?

*** Mace ***

I own an exclusive escort service for high-end girls and high-rollers. I’m having my most profitable year ever. My life is fan-f**king-tastic.

Until the day my smoking hot stepsister, Alyssa, waltzes in for a job and strips off her clothes.

What the hell is she doing here, saying her name is Carly Olson? How the hell could this happen? My situation was perfect until she showed up. Now I'm entirely obsessed with her. Night and day, I can’t get her out of my mind. I want her or no woman at all.

*** Alyssa *** 

I’m a hardworking, studious good girl, an honors student at Princeton.

My sexy-as-hell stepbrother, Mace, is an ass. A cocky, skirt-chasing, testosterone driven MMA fighter who makes millions doing things he won't talk about. He walked out of my life on the day of our parents' funeral, and he can just stay out. I definitely don't want to let him back in.

So, when I'm drowning in student debt and about to lose my scholarship, why do I find myself asking for his help? And why am I so willing to follow him into this underworld? My virginity is a valuable commodity and I've given him control of it. I only hope he realizes he wants me for himself, before he auctions my virtue away to a wealthy stranger.

***HEA and no cheating ***

An amateur mixed martial arts fighter, building a multi-million dollar business, he satisfies his sexual needs with casual hook-ups that don’t involve love or commitment.

He decides to personally take charge of her schooling in the ropes of her new trade. Little does he know, Alyssa is the one about to teach him some needed lessons.

Alyssa is still recovering from her grief over the loss of her billionaire politician father, and knows she should steer clear of her handsome stepbrother, but the the charming bastard offers some enticing benefits. He stirs her erotic and romantic feelings like no other man and she wants more.

He trains and fights in mixed martial arts, to help him subdue his inner demons and keep hidden his dead stepfather’s dark secrets. Mace needs to learn forgiveness before he’s ready for a serious relationship. 

Mace is set in urban Trenton, NJ, and is full of racy adventure and swift B-movie noir action. The plot is reminiscent of romantic mystery movies and dime store detective thrillers. The story is full of twists, betrayals and suspense. The gambling and poker casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and the Jersey vacation beaches provide backdrop. Full of fun and humor, the story is seasoned with salty exchanges between the warring sexes. This new adult series is a romantic sexy saga worth reading.

A vocal advocate of free love, Giles isn’t looking for a wife, but Fortuna makes him want things he considers off limits. As the stakes mount, how long can he hold fast to his principles, if they mean surrendering the woman he loves to a hellish match?

When a wealthy real estate developer convinces Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy Kevin Schmidt to search for his missing son, Schmitty senses trouble.

Finding a body in the trunk of a BMW sends Schmitty and Megan on an adrenalized trail through Southern California unraveling a sophisticated real estate scam. A run-in with the LAPD and some hardcore gang members opens new perspectives on the case, and they begin to glimpse a shocking web of greed and corruption.

The situation suddenly becomes more complex - and personal – when the billionaire takes matters into his own hands and Schmitty’s own department gets involved. When Schmitty and Megan go to Catalina Island to track down the one man who may know everything, they uncover a secret that could make or break the billionaire. And when Schmitty miscalculates the man, it could get them killed. Before all this, Schmitty had been unfairly outcast in his department. Now he’s here to protect and serve. To make justice prevail and figure out who to bring down.

If they work together, maybe no one else will die.
