Marked for Seduction
2016
Previously published as Propositioning a Thief The game is set. Seduction is the key. Who will win or who will die? Thieves don’t get caught… However, Tess’s career both started and stopped when she was. Her hand wasn’t the only thing she would lose this time. What was she to do: save her skin or let another die? Primes choose loyalty over personal joy… For over 200 years, Maliki didn’t regret exchanging his death for a life filled with duty and to right the wrongs that killed him. Under the watchful eye of an outsider makes it harder, especially with one that keeps tugging on a heart he thought was lost. When forced to choose, will he kill the Kayen, the soulless creatures of the night, or the talented thief hired to steal the secrets of his hidden society? Does love make a soul whole? Forced to work together: one to save three lives, the other thousands. Are they willing to push aside their desire to find those that betrayed them? Both have no problem surrendering their souls to spare another’s life, but are they willing to sacrifice their hearts this time? This is a standalone love story in a series but can be read in any order. Be advised that this book has been published under a prior title - Propositioning a Thief. The story has not changed, just editorial along with a facelift. Happy Reading.

Captivating the Hostess
They live in a world of secrets. He kills to keep their world hidden. She lies to protect herself. Will they ever be able to trust the other before death comes knocking? Civilians don’t work alone… Lola does, and something about her calls Eddie to suspect everything. Is it the hidden room she claims to disperse information from but doesn’t? Her naiveness for opening her home to three strangers without question? Or that he can’t stop thinking about her, no matter how hard he tries. Primes don’t form attachments… Lola has a secret urge to convince him to stay, or just get frisky between the sheets. He’s her boss, and she doesn’t even like him that much. He annoys her, even while saving her. Trust isn’t a guarantee. He died last time he got entangled with a woman. Deaths an absolute for those close to her. There are rules against them getting involved, against anything more than platonic friendship. With a threat to Eddie’s life and past connections discovered, will they break the law for love or let justice stand in their way? If you are against HEA, sassy women, and alpha-type males, then this book is not for you. If you love that sort of thing, then come on in and get comfy. Be advised that I have published this book under a prior title - Captivating the Hostess. The story has not changed, just reedited along with a facelift. Happy Reading.

Marked for Protection

Previously published as
Educating the Professor
Every girl dreams of finding mister right. Cara just never thought he would come with a gun or that she would use it on him. But in those dreams, she also didn’t think that a killer would force her to choose between falling in love or living a full life. Cara needs a night out… Just one night without thinking about her ex or her dream job fading into a nightmare. However, being a klutz not only ruins her chances with the hottest guy she ever met before, but also lands her in the middle of a bar shooting. Jonny needs a night off… After two thousand years of nonstop work as a Fallen member, he’s entitled to a cold beer and some fun. What he doesn’t expect is that he’ll end up wearing the drink and protecting the feisty professor he hasn’t stopped dreaming about since the first time he laid eyes on her. Someone has other plans for both of them. When Cara’s life is threatened, Jonny abandons everything to protect her, but she’s no ordinary damsel in distress. As days turn to weeks, they can’t deny their chemistry growing between them, like the body count that seems to be connected. Will their forced proximity keep her safe, or will it just bring the serial killer to her doorstep? If you are against HEA, sassy women, and alpha-type males, then this book is not for you. If you love that sort of thing, then come on in and get comfy. Be advised that I have published this book under a prior title - Educating the Professor. The story has not changed, just reedited along with a facelift. Happy Reading.
