A Patch of Darkness
All it takes is one weak seam for everything to fall apart. In a perfect world, Sierra Fox would have stayed away from the Council she left years ago. But in this world—where spirits have the right to walk among the living—it’s her job to round up troublesome spooks and bring them before that very same Council. Though her desk is piled high with open cases, she can’t resist an anonymous summons to a mysterious late-night meeting with a bunch of other hunters, each of whom seems to have a unique specialty. The news is dire: something is tearing at the fabric of the universe. If the hunters can’t find who or why in time, something’s going to give in a very messy way. As current cases, family secrets, new clues and her tangled love life slowly wind themselves into an impossible knot, Sierra finds herself the target of a power-sucking duo intent on stealing her mojo. And realizing she holds the key to the last hope of sealing the widening rift. Warning: Spook catching: may contain traces of ectoplasm and otherworldly nasties. Not recommended for those with allergies to ghosts, demons, and with boyfriends who think your power is theirs. While reading, avoid dark patches and stay to the light.
Wither
Betrayal. Lust. Secrets. It's enough to send a space cowboy riding hell-bent for stardust. Wrangling is in Colt Marshall's blood. He was known across the galaxy for his skill at roping horses and cattle, but found that the woman he loved wasn't so easy to tie down. Now a mysterious client has him wrangling a man who may or may not be fully human. Colt doesn't know and doesn't care, as long as he gets paid. Until his pursuit of the escaped captive lands him on his former lover's planet.and her request for help threatens to crack the armor around his heart. With Colt's unexpected arrival, Brynn Wight's problems could be solved.or multiplied a thousandfold. She doesn't expect him to understand why she left him, but she sure could use his help ridding her planet of the feral creatures terrorizing her town every night. It doesn't help that he looks just as good as she remembers. Or that even after five years, their mutual lust is very much alive. Their desire rivals the heat of the planet's skin-peeling sun, stripping away layers of secrets to expose the truth. And a secret that could be their death sentence. Warning: This book contains a space cowboy with an attitude, a female sheriff with a kick-ass past, an AI dressed like a deputy, feral creatures, and a planet scorched by its proximity to the sun-but still not as hot as the cowboy and sheriff are for each other.

She's his right-hand woman, but when the boss is away she steps out of her enforcer role and ducks into a remote bar to indulge her passion: singing onstage.

Unable to resist temptation, they're consumed by passion.but once the fuses are set, their deepest personal secrets could blow any chance of forever all to hell. Warning: This book contains a very lonely shapeshifter in need of some loving, a kick-ass singer leading a double life, a serious case of mutual lust, an arena filled with enslaved warriors, and so many secrets it can only end in total madness.
