Billie Joyce’s life-time dream of visiting New York City comes true, but the life changing experience is totally different than what she anticipated.

The blonde angel who saved her from death is one of the living dead and now, so is Billie Joyce. Problem is, she faints at the sight of blood. To make things more frustrating, she has to contend with a man who can find nothing right with her. Of course, he would have to be the one who creates more sensations in her body than she ever had when she was alive.

Marcus fights his attraction to the lavender eyed beauty who talks like she stepped out of My Fair Lady. After all, he’s no Henry Higgins, plus he got over the sex thing centuries ago. Besides, as the new King of the Vampires, who has time for women?

The Asphodel Cycle 2: The Gift of Redemption

After the defeat of the Duke de Spesialle’s armies, Tamsen de Asphodel finds herself weakened and ill. The toll of the magic she called has ravaged her body, but the demands of the Elven Realm and the kingdom of Ansienne call her to continued duty. With Brial at her side, she ignores her fragility and dives headlong into the political turmoil of both nations. Unfortunately, her uncle Spesialle is not finished with her yet. When she finds herself at his mercy, she must gather all of her wits and courage to combat him. And when the gods demand an answer to the question: What gift can buy the redemption of the Elves? Tamsen must decide if she is brave enough to give the right answer.

Two strangers meet in Las Vegas to learn the truth about their grandparents and discover what it means to fall in love at first sight in Memorial Meeting by Aline de Chevigny.

In Flyover by Jefferson Dane, Sgt. Kyle Kleinmann hospitalized from his wounds in the Afghanistan mountains tells a story of the eerie events surrounding his mission on the front. Insurgents, strange lights in the sky and supernatural beings weave in and out of his frightening tale like nightmarish cobwebs. Nothing is quite what it seems.

Wayne Greenough’s Thanet Blake’s Memorial Day has Thanet reminiscing about those who’ve served in several conflicts and gone on. At one of the cemetaries he visits Thanet is hired by a ghost to prevent another war tragedy.

For the Boys by J.M. Snyder takes us to the Korean Conflict. Falling in love was the last thing Army pilot Carl Prosser expected to do while stationed in Korea. But he meets Tommy who’s touring with the USO and does just that. An exchange of letters and a crushed hope of a return visit by the USO troupe motivates Prosser to devise an elaborate plan to see his lover one last time before the war separates them permanently.

As the pin-up boy of Australia , he had his pick of hundreds of doting, compliant women. So why did a woman he’d never met and who described her appearance as, “… not sending stray dogs howling,” infuriate and fascinate him so much?

Madison Taylor needed someone, but not just anyone. Dragon Slayer had piqued her interest and his dare to go rafting, parachuting, and then end their weekend with a tango lesson had her wondering if he were the one to meet her needs, needs she wasn’t all that sure of herself. She’d meet him, but on her terms not his. No one dominated Madison, no one. She was totally in control of her life and that’s how things would stay.

Until she meets Rohan Black and nothing is what it seems.
