Deadly Witness *New*

Meagan Turner overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear. Suddenly she’s working with the FBI, under twenty-four hour guard by the US Marshals, and testifying against a mob boss. But doing the right thing comes with a high price. She sacrifices her career, her rent-controlled apartment, and even her boyfriend when she assumes a new identity in the Witness Protection Program.

Ryan Jackson is a decorated green beret, but he would trade every medal he has for a chance to turn back time and save the men who died under his command in Afghanistan. Every night he hears their screams as the bombs go off. Every day he fights the lingering pain of a shattered leg that won’t ever let him forget his doomed mission.

When Meagan moves next door to Ryan, sparks fly. Literally. A mole in the US Marshal’s Service leaks Meagan’s location to the mob and they burn her house down, with her in it. Ryan barely gets her out in time. Not knowing whom to trust, Meagan is forced to turn to Ryan, and together they’re on the run from the mob and the US Marshals. After a close call, Ryan starts to wonder whether their enemies are really after Meagan, or whether he’s the real target.

The Awakening

Plagued by confusing, fragmented memories of a past she can’t quite piece together, Ariana Blakely seeks out a normal life in the secluded town of Reghin. But something isn’t right. Her bookstore is nearly deserted during the day, but as soon as the sun goes down, business is booming with the quirky, eccentric inhabitants of this rural Florida town.

Guardian vampire, Rafael Dragomir, is haunted by the death of his mortal wife over fifty years ago. Unable to protect the only woman he could ever love, he feels unworthy to don the mantle of responsibility that his birthright requires. Shunning his role as Prince of the Guardians, he reluctantly offers his protection to the otherworldly souls residing in his territory, Reghin.

While pursuing a strigoi through the pine groves at the edge of town, Rafael is stunned to discover the strigoi’s intended victim is Ariana, his dead wife. Only she isn’t dead and she hasn’t aged a single day in fifty years, an impossibility for a mortal. Furious, Rafael believes his enemies are using an imposter to hurt him. But he soon finds out that in order to survive an old enemy’s plans for revenge, he has to work with Ariana. As they struggle to put the pieces of the puzzle together, they discover that she may really be Rafael’s wife, but is it too late? Can they forge a future together, again, or have Rafael’s enemies devised something so evil, so unexpected, that the future of the entire Guardian race is at stake?

Kiss Me, Kill Me

Madison McKinley can see ghosts . . . and werewolves and vampires and fairies and other magical creatures.  Feared and shunned by her peers, she recklessly indulges her curiosity and sense of adventure by prying into the forbidden world of the immortals.  A brutal attack by an upyr vampire and a were-panther leaves her spirit trapped between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

Driven by guilt over his unwitting role in Madison’s death, sentinel vampire Nicholae Dragomir offers his assistance to free her. Madison refuses, but soon finds that she can’t leave Nicholae.  Every time she tries, her spirit is yanked back into his presence.  When she touches him, she becomes human again.  Without his touch, she loses her anchor to the mortal world and exists only in a ghostly form. Forced to work together for their mutual freedom, Madison and Nicholae soon discover there is far more at work here than it seems.  And they have far more in common than either of them ever could have imagined.
