As Above, So Below
On a distant world of towering mountains ruled by great castles and powerful men, one of the ancient Lords worshipped by the kingdom crosses a forbidden line and a child is conceived—a little girl destined to become a bridge between dimensions.
 
Raised by her mother on a remote mountain peak with only nature and its creatures for companionship, the eighteen-year-old Mirabel is taken down into the kingdom by a group of merchants intent on profiting from her beauty. But invisible forces seem to be protecting her and the Prince of Visioncrest unexpectedly takes her under his wing.
 
Apprenticed to the keep’s old healer, Mirabel begins realizing how different she is as her mysterious abilities slowly begin growing along with her attraction to the keep’s mysterious master. She senses that Loric has access to powers even his own people don’t know about and that the key to her magically mixed nature, as well as to her happiness, rests in his hands.
 
Publisher’s Note: This book was previously released under the title Web of Lords. It has been edited for Cerridwen Press publication.

What I thought was

Crook & Flail

Grief has brought Lucia, a young widow, to Egypt, where she hopes that the ancient ruins will provide an escape from her overwhelming loneliness. She doesn’t expect to find Mark, who tries very hard to take her late husband’s place in her life. Her interest in him can’t erase the memory of the man she still loves more than anything, though—the man she called her Master—especially when she begins to catch haunting glimpses of Richard in the mysterious shadows of tombs and temples. And even as Mark tries to capture her heart, Lucia becomes convinced that Richard is passionately trying to communicate with her from what the ancient Egyptians called the land beyond the sunset.

Publisher Note: This book has been published previously under a different title. It has been revised for Ellora’s Cave publication.

Reader Advisory: This book is not for the faint of heart! It contains scenes of intense sexuality that may stretch a reader’s imagination.
