Unite our Souls
A sexy Angel of Death had to tell me I was dead. But he wasn’t there to offer comfort. He was there to take me to the other side. Wherever that is. I wasn’t ready to go, though. My nephew, Joey, needed my bone marrow if he was going to survive, but I wasn’t sure how I was going to give it to him now that I was dead.
Grayson, the angel, told me he’d help but then I’d have to cross over. I certainly didn’t expect to fall for the one being that intended to hustle me across the mortal realm. I don’t think he expected to fall, either. You’d think that would be difficult enough, but the real trouble began when I discovered his ‘help’ came at a price…or a punishment, rather. He’d broken a rule, and for that, he would suffer if I couldn’t stop it.
So here I am in love with the Angel of Death, trying to save my nephew’s life, and wondering what exactly happens on this other side Grayson talks about. And learning more and more that I didn’t want to leave my angel any more than I wanted to stay dead. Sometimes, though, life just doesn’t give you choices.

A Queen Seduced
Ireland’s Celtic gods will soon become extinct forever unless they can be saved by one man and a reluctant princess...
Camlin Vaughan has been chosen to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors—ancient Celtic gods. But first, he must return them to their former glory, freeing them from the stone tombs holding them captive. Difficult enough, but the requisite to unite with a woman of the purest blood could prove to be the biggest obstacle of them all.
Though born into a royal family in Ireland, Rhiannon is relatively content with her life as a country doctor in a small town in Tennessee…until she’s visited by a man who touches her soul and makes her crave his touch. She wants to know more. He wants her to return to Ireland. The call is too strong to be ignored, and it soon becomes apparent that as much as her dream lover wants her in Ireland, something else doesn’t.
In the game of good versus evil, good isn’t always the victor.
