Middle-aged and starting over is the last thing I ever wanted on my bucket list. But since my husband announced he was gay and my daughter left for college, I don’t really have a choice. If I’m going to get my "Happily Ever After" I have to start making new choices, starting with picking guys who like women rather than women’s makeup would be a good start. Next! I’m way past the point of caring what other people think. I’m 49, about to turn 50 and I’m pretty sure I’m entering the prime years of my life. It’s time to make my mark and do things the way I want to do them. Like ...

When I decided to “start-over” in my mid-40's, that did not, I repeat, did NOT include being turned by a vampire. It was not my idea of a good time. I mean, it was a good time, but the eternal damnation and never die bit is a little hard to swallow. My name is Chloe Preston. I came to Cougar Creek as a cop and ‘died in the line of duty’ when I got tangled up with a coven of witches. I’d asked for the transfer. I needed to get away from the lonely grind of my life. But now I’ll never escape this mess. As if that isn’t bad enough. This coven of witches is real. Like they really ...

Psychic?! Now I get psychic powers? WTH? Where were these powers when my kids were getting into trouble and my husband was cheating on me? No. I get them now once I’ve gotten over my previous life and I’m neck-deep into reveling with my two new BFFs and rocking the Cougar Creek Coven. Part of it I really like, I mean…winning lotto tickets, hello! But the bit about knowing my friends are about to die, not so cool. Trying to figure out what to do about it is even harder. The future is full of unknown possibilities that are all based on the choices individuals make each moment. What does...

No magic? No problem. Until you get attacked by demons. I’ve lived my whole life thinking I wasn’t magic. Believing that all the supernatural awesomeness was for everyone else. I shunned the world. Now, at middle-age I discover everything I thought about my life up until was founded on half-truths. When the pub I inherited from my unknown father gets burnt to the ground by the demons, well, they’re just asking for me to get involved. You can’t just come to my town, burn down my building and get away with it. Only thing is, the situation in Cougar Creek is a much bigger mess than I ...

I’ve dreamt about dark, ravenous monsters my entire life. Last night I found out…all my darkest dreams are real. At forty-five I didn’t think life had many surprises left, but I was so, so wrong. Monsters do exist and last night their demigod, Ryder, came to me asking for help. I would have been more willing if Ryder wasn’t my younger, too-hot-to-handle ex-husband. Apparently, he was hiding a few things during our marriage. I thought it was girlfriends when I divorced him. But according to him he’s been protecting the world by keeping his kind at bay. I wouldn’t have believed ...

He left me. Again. And this time I’m stuck. Why is there something about Ryder that I can’t resist, no matter how hard I try? He’s a monster, and yes, I know everyone says that about their ex-husband, but in this case it's true. So, I shouldn’t be surprised that he’s trapped me in a tower with a bunch of satyrs “for my own protection”. I want my old life back, and I’m going to get there, even if I am a banshee. Now I’m the harbinger of death with demons out to kill me and an errant ex-husband who professes he only has my interests at heart. Never mind that he needs to save...

My new BFF is a witch and apparently, I’m a member of a witch's coven. Only, I’m not a witch. Word is, I’m a wolf shifter. When I said I wanted to start over again, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Being a shifter isn’t the worst thing I could imagine. It’s taken care of all the hot flashes. My body temperature now runs constantly high. I like it. Snow? Who cares? I don’t need no stinking coat anymore. I can smell like ten times better than even when I was pregnant, and as for my vision? Glasses are SO last year. I won’t be needing those anytime soon. But man, what ...

They didn’t say anything about pointy ears. So. Not. Cool. Now I feel like I should be walking around splitting my fingers and saying “Peace, live long, and prosper.” But this isn’t science fiction. This is my life and apparently, I’m Fae. I thought I was having a midlife crisis when I left my husband and ran off with a guy twenty years younger than me. Turns out he wasn’t twenty years younger than me; he was like five-hundred years older and a fae who wanted me to “wake up to who I really am.” Like that was his decision to make. Regardless, it’s too late now. I ran away ...

Lorelai D'Anjou's life has never been easy. The sole survivor of a dark magic that destroyed her entire family, she has spent the last eight years caring for the ailing, impotent monarch who saved her life and claimed her for his own. When the king is murdered by his selfish brother, Lorelai's world is suddenly narrowed down to two choices: marry her husband's killer, or die. Now, she flees for her life, a fugitive in her own kingdom as she seeks allies to help her take back her stolen throne.

In the shifter world, one law holds true; you will reap what you sow. Shae underestimated El Oso, the tyrannical leader of the Order. Now, banished, flightless and living on the dangerous edge of the shifter world, she finds it impossible to pursue her one goal, finding and freeing her father. Without the support of her friends, who are torn by loyalty to their families, Shae is forced to attempt the impossible...alone. A hidden group of shifters with unexpected powers swoops in to help Shae. They want nothing more than to discover El Oso’s magic and destroy the Order completely, even if ...

The woman I love is dead, and I’ll do anything to get her back. I watched my beloved, Caroline, die before my very eyes. She was thrown into a fiery pit by Cade, the dark demigod who plans to release every monster and take over the earth. Not on my watch. I spent all my time trying to protect Caroline and instead I had led her straight into the clutches of the enemy, a merciless enemy who would stop at nothing to fulfill his evil wish. Well, I have a wish, too. I want Caroline back. They say you can’t get people back from the dead but we live in a magic world so the question isn’t, is...

It's survival of the fittest, but first you have to fit in. Shae is sure the icy rage that claws at her is driving away her friends and pulling her closer to the wrong boy. After all, it’s Aiden she has always secretly wanted, not Callum, who has barely spoken to her in the last year. But, as her protected life unravels, she discovers the violent supernatural world that lurks in her quiet hometown and the ancient feuds that threaten to destroy both her friends and her family.

Redemption. Magic. Untamed Passions. After the thrilling discovery of her fae heritage and a heart-stopping quest for the Sword of the Middle Ages, Hunter Jones finds herself entangled in another perilous adventure. This time, the stakes are higher, the magic more potent, and the enemies more dangerous. Amidst the haunting beauty of Scotland, a new mission calls to her — a mission that could tip the balance in an ancient conflict between vampires and werewolves. Hunter is not alone; Exeter, the dragon shifter who captured her heart, is by her side. Their bond, forged in the fires of their...

First comes the rain, then follows the flood. Escaping the Order by engaging the Hunters was only the beginning. Now, with their safe haven destroyed Shae and Roman are left hiding in a remote village with no chance of ever finding her father or making a difference in the shifter world. That is, until a strange Hunter seeks Shae out and gives her hope she can find her father and possibly the tool to find El Oso. They risk everything to return to Topanga and reunite with their friends, who are the only ones who might just believe Shae’s adamant theory that one of the murderous ...

Now that she understands the rules, she wants to change them. Shae’s body is betraying her and she's terrified. Though she's joined the ranks of her shifter friends, she knows inside she’s not like them. Her unstable cells won’t let her control the shift. As Topanga grows crowded with suspicious shifters, aligned with the fascist Order, it becomes clear they have been living in a tiny haven on the edge of an intolerant, militant shifter society. Even worse, Shae's formal presentation to El Oso, the Order's Berserker Supreme Leader, is only days away. Without full control of her powers...
