Kiki Michaelson wants one wild night to forget her starving-artist worries. Simple.
Only instead of Darren Cole becoming her one-night stand, he taunts her with a challenge. Then while she’s trying to best him at his own game, he turns out to be the last thing she’s prepared for: someone she wants to keep.
Which means all he can ever be…is a friend.
Darren Cole never allows a girl to get close—not close enough to matter.
Then storms in Kiki Michaelson, a beautiful, fearless temptation that rocks his world off-balance. But he fights their attraction, unwilling to gamble something physical with their close ties. Until the passionate sculptor exposes her heart and breaks his wide open.
In that moment it becomes clear: she could never be just a friend.
Sometimes what you run from…is exactly what you need.

True love never dies. So begins the legend of Amos Hargrove, a brave Civil War soldier who survived battle and returned home only to learn his beloved had died before they could marry. His spirit, some say, still pervades the town he founded and named after his long-lost sweetheart, gone far too soon.
Today, in the town of Finley, dreams come true, love blossoms, and second chances are unearthed. Is Amos’s spirit truly at work, granting wishes as he continues to search for the girl he never stopped loving? Does his unfulfilled desire continue to have influence on those who call Finley home?
What will it take to finally reunite two souls meant to be together?
Forever Finley is a novel constructed of stand-alone “episodes,” each building toward a final dramatic conclusion, weaving past and present threads into a single tale of loss and perseverance, the strength of the human spirit, and the ability of love to endure…forever.
This much is true: In 1562 Diego de Landa burned all the Mayan codices and began a suppression of the Mayan religion that was brutal even by 16th century conquistador standards. What we don’t know is why.
Excavations at a recently discovered Mayan site near Valladolid in the Yucatan unearth a codex – the first to be discovered in over 50 years. A mangled body is found among the ruins. It belongs to Father Colvin McNeery, an expert on the Gospel of Matthew, the only Gospel to mention the Star of Bethlehem. The local police say he was killed by a jaguar.
Dr. Isabel Reyes, renegade daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Mexico, is called away from her clinic to issue a death certificate. She wonders, when she sees the claw marks, what sort of jaguar is left-handed?
Ex-rabbi and scholar Simon Press has just seen another of his controversial lectures on the spread of Christianity end in violence. He’s back at his hotel nursing a scotch when he gets the news that his friend and colleague, Colvin McNeery, is dead in the Yucatan. Press has always been resentful of Christianity’s success; what he finds in McNeery’s translation of the codex will allow him to get even.
Detective First Class Benito Rufino of the Antiquities Police is pulled off a sting he’s spent nine months setting up, and ordered to Valladolid. He’s furious until he finds out why: a codex worth $500 million pesos is missing.
Leon Cortes - devout Catholic and a direct descendant of the Conquistador - has become drug overlord for all of the Yucatan because he believes his faith requires him to mortify his soul as his Savior mortified his body. Now he’s ordered by the Vatican to find the codex and send it to them.
The 1500 year old codex contains an account of a holy man, a savior who is born under a bright star to a virgin, performs miracles, dies a horrible death, and is resurrected. If McNeery’s translation of the codex is correct, then something is radically wrong with the conventional accounts of the European discovery of the Americas. Or - and this is the only other possibility - something is radically wrong with Christianity’s notion of itself.
Mayan Star is mystery/thriller with a Borgesian twist.

The Ancient Pact Must Be Sealed With A Marriage
Chosen to act as a sacrificial bride by her coven, Eva journeys into the mystic realm of the In Between in the heart of the Night Forest. As a powerful witch with mastery over healing magic, the body holds no secrets for her. But the heart…that remains a mystery. She has no intention of forging a relationship with Eckhard, her groom and prince of the forest gods. Yet his patience and chivalrous nature compels her to let down her guard.
Just as much a pawn as Eva in the machinations of the gods and witches, Eckhard must overcome Eva’s reluctance to forge a bond—their union is key to restoring the gods’ waning power—even as he struggles against lingering feelings for his own lost beloved. Eva’s gruff kindness and hidden vulnerability arouse feelings that make him believe that they can transform an arranged marriage into a real union.
The Swamp King, the enemy of the forest gods, harbors an unrelenting desire to conquer the Night Forest, and with it, to destroy Eva and Eckhard. Only the witch and the prince stand a chance of defeating the monstrous Swamp King and saving their two worlds from his malevolent influence. Will it cost them their blossoming love and their lives?

Witches, potions, and magical spells — that all made sense. But seeing men turn into animal-like monsters in the middle of the night? That had to be fiction, right? Cassandra Booth thought her life in the world of the witches would be complete when she joined her coven. Fate had other plans for her. Joining the coven brings new knowledge, like mates and men who turn into animals, all things Cassie would rather have been clueless about. As her plans unravel, she must find a way to join the coven in a way that doesn't involve committing her life to an old friend that she now hates.
