Book Description:

A Marine does desperate things when he’s faced with a matchmaking, guilt-tripping grandmother.

Most men probably wouldn’t invent a fake girlfriend to keep their family off their backs. But I’m married to the military, and I’m more than happy with my relationship status—no holiday gift-giving pressure here.

But when I find out my grandmother is traveling cross-country to meet the special lady in my life, I need to find a real fake girlfriend. Fast. One bungled attempt later, I find myself talking to Angie Black. Best friend to my best friend’s wife.

After hearing about my desperate search for a Christmas date, she agrees to do it—but why? It’s no secret she doesn’t like me. She doesn’t laugh at my jokes and avoids me like I have a live grenade in my pocket whenever we’re together.

Blindly relieved, I don’t question it. Until her little touches begin to set off fireworks in my belly and her glances linger in unexplainable ways.

My grandmother says we have great chemistry, but it’s probably just the eggnog talking. Because what Angie and I have is about as real as Santa Claus. Right?

Book Description:

What is the cost of living life on your own terms? For a young woman on the American Frontier, the price can be high.

Aislynn Maher trusted the wrong man. To conceal her disgrace, she abandons her job, her home, her family and friends. She turns to the raw, contentious US marshal of the Wyoming Territory, Orrin Sage, who is hiding a guilty secret of his own.

Setting out alone, Aislynn brings her optimism and determination to Cheyenne. But in this rough town, with its prejudice, violence and lawlessness, it’s not just difficult to do what you believe is right─ it’s potentially deadly.

This unlikely love story details real triumphs and tragedies from frontier women’s letters, diaries and newspapers of the day, and places Aislynn in the center of their history. EMBRACE THE WIND illuminates an intimate picture of the American frontier; the story of the women who changed the West and helped forge the freedoms we enjoy today.

Book Description:

The unlikely duo who might just save the world

Ben must be the hungriest cat ever…

One moment, he was enjoying a breakfast of salmon trimmings in his home in South Wales. The next, he was teleported across time and space onto the cold stone floor of an evil warlock.

Locked in the warlock’s tower through day and night, Ben may have to serve him for a while. He’ll hate this, especially having to hunt those infernal demon rats when the warlock doesn’t feed him well at all.

Meanwhile, in a distant academy, a dragon is bored out of her mind. Unable to wear a saddle, no human dares mount her. Is there anyone in this land who can ride her into battle against the forces of the evil warlocks? Somehow, she doubts she’ll ever find a suitable bond.

Unless there is another creature with enough dexterity to fulfil that role. One, perhaps, who is currently sprinting right out of a warlock’s front door…

Book Description:

Coming of age romance. Unique Greek Fantasy Adventure. A determined FMC who refuses to let the gods dictate her life.

From the famous statue in Egypt, to the tragic story in Greek mythology, the sphinx is found throughout history–even in the architecture of 16th century England. What if there was truth within each of these tragic stories? What if she really existed?

When Phoibe, a demigod daughter of Hera, refuses Apollo’s advances, the god exacts a terrible revenge. Thus begins the monstrous curse meant to last an eternity–or until Apollo gets what he wants.

But as the curse is passed from mother to daughter, each refuse the golden god.

As Ancient Greece and the worship of the gods fade into history, the curse remains. Even as the demigods purge the land of monsters… Even when Hades strikes against the demigods, and mankind believes the gods are nothing more than myths. Even until our present day…

When Hope discovers safety for her will never exist–unless she fights to create it.

From hiding in a small town to sneaking through a demigod conservatory, searching for clues of her past, Hope finds love and allies in the most unlikely places. This young adult adventure continues when she and her friends descend into the depths of the Underworld and then all the way up to Mount Olympus where the gods reside.

As Hope searches for hidden knowledge, secret weapons, twisted truths, and enough power to square off against the Olympians, she’s forced to face prejudice, ridicule, manipulations and abuse.

But Hope is determined to create her own fate . . . or die trying.
