Avenging Angel
“I never should have gone to The Purgatory Bar. That’s what started it all.” Having worked her way through the Heavenly ranks, Porsche’s recently been promoted to Guardian Angel—and if she’d known what trouble lay ahead, she would have stayed in Dream Central. She’s lost a soul. Well…not lost, per se. Technically it was snatched by a demon, but on Porsche’s watch. With mankind’s faith at an all-time low and Lucifer making a move to buy controlling interest in Heaven Inc., this couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Porsche’s determined to battle every succubi, satyr and she-devil in Hades—and possibly a traitor in Heaven—if that’s what it takes to get Alex Chalmers’ soul back. And if the handsome human wishes to thank her…there has to be some perk to the job. Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title Guardian Angel and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave. Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).
Puppy Love
Emerald Douglas has fallen head over heels in love with the puppy she found on her doorstep. Oscar fills an empty space in her life and heart. That is, until a chance sighting of a lost dog poster in the park changes everything. Emerald knows she must do the right thing—she just isn’t sure what that is. Cody Martin isn’t sure what to make of the woman standing on his doorstep. And Emerald is not prepared for the man’s heart-stopping good looks or his son’s tremendous joy at being reunited with his furry companion. Can one small puppy lead three people on the path to becoming a family?

Review: Nov 17, 2011
Genre(s): Contemporary, Romance
"Puppy Love" is a cute, short story that sincerely marvels at the innocence of childhood and the gut-deep feeling of belonging that everyone aspires to, whether in romantic or familial relationships. Rudi, the canine protagonist, is the classic big dog in a mini-pup body and has his own distinct personality, along with the other human characters. Jason is the slightly gruff male lead, who's protective insti

Blush: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic).

Witch Island
Roxanne Gerik's business is facing bankruptcy when a reclusive millionaire throws her a lifeline — one hundred thousand dollars for private computer tutoring. It's only after signing the contract that she discovers the lessons will take place on Mr. Nevan's private island.
The journey across the water is perilous. Once on shore, the storm that chased Roxanne to the island breaks, knocking out phones, electricity and the dock, promptly stranding her. But the biggest surprise is her host — who's not the stuffy old man she expected. Aidan Nevan appears to be young, handsome and charming, and despite the apprehension shadowing her, Roxanne finds herself drawn to the mysterious man.
But Aidan is hiding sinister secrets. The staff whispers in hushed tones, strange creatures wander the woods of the island and the very trees seem intent on harming her. As the unnatural storm grows worse, Roxanne begins to wonder if any of them will get off the island alive.
Publisher Note: Witch Island was previously released by another publisher in 2003.
