Lexie
Desire is a double-edged dance. Lexie Underhill works her tail off in hopes of winning her adoptive father’s approval. It’s never enough. The stinging proof? He’s brought in a reorganization expert. As if the prospect of losing her job in the family business isn’t enough, Cameron Rowe’s sexy, intimidating presence makes her palms sweat. When Lexie’s face appears on a scandalous freeway billboard, her protestations of innocence go unheard. With orders to save the family name—or else—she marches into the bar the billboard was advertising and comes face-to-face with an identical twin sister. Roxie is wild and free, everything Lexie isn’t. Before the night is out, she welcomes the chance to explore her own sensuality. As she dances wantonly on the bar, suddenly Cam is there, kissing her as if he has the right. The sizzle between them breaks out in four-alarm desire, but Lexie has recalibrated her life plan. And the equation doesn’t factor in Cam—until she’s sure where his loyalties lie. With her…or her father’s company. Warning: Not all business relationships are formal and stodgy. Suits and ties (actually, all clothing) are optional.

This is a story of heroes and heroines who bring justice to the unjust when the law fails. We meet Luna, a nondescript, lowly, and somewhat dowdy court recorder. She is easy to miss, which is the plan. At night when the moon is at its peak Luna becomes Luminescence, a heroine with the power of the moon at her fingertips. Unfortunately when there is no moon Luminescence has minimal power at best. This is where

Ghost Flute
Serena Little Feather is hoping to reconnect with her heritage when she agrees to house-sit on the Lower Brule Sioux Reservation. She just never realized how close to the past she’d get.
At night, Serena hears a flute playing behind the house. The music is haunting and seductive, rousing intense feelings of lust. But music isn’t the only lust-inspiring thing in her life. Her neighbor Chayton is dark and sexy, but she’s been warned against him. She doesn’t know which scares her more—the overwhelming pull of the music or her attraction to the bad boy.
Chayton wants his beautiful neighbor. Their kisses sizzle and their touches burn, but the music she’s hearing worries him. Legend tells of a Sioux brave who’d lured many women with his flute playing. He’d seduced them and cast them aside—until he was found dead with a knife in his stone heart. It was said that the brave’s spirit still roamed the countryside, playing his songs and looking for love. Every so often, a pretty girl responded. Chayton fears that this time, the pretty girl is Serena.

Ghost Flute is a really wonderful story. I loved that the author pulled me into the reservation with Serena and Chayton. Her amazing descriptions of the world around the characters brought so much to the story. This is a wonderfully original and interesting read and once I started reading I wasn't able to stop till the book was finished.
I also liked the fact that Serena was fighting with herself over the co

This is the first book that I read by Ms. Dean and I did enjoy it. I liked the way that she interwove some serious facts on sleep disorders along with the storyline. Other authors have done the concept of a Dream Wreakers, but.I do like that Ms Dean used some science in the telling of the tale.
