Then she'll go back to her "real life". But Dominic wants more—and Captain Hook doesn't hesitate to compete with Peter. In the end, Gwyn must choose—the pirate or the lost boy.

Also women's fiction. Her most recent releases e-book releases are Deja Brew for Ellora's Cave and Emergency Ex from various on-line distributors.
