Townsend Harbor
Cadence "Cady" Bloomquist knows two things for sure: First, shelving books at her shop, Nevermore Bookstore, totally counts as cardio. Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until. Until her calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his jagged velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person? There's nothing Roman Fawkes wants more than the brilliant, beautiful bookstore owner, but as a reclusive survivalist, he knows it can never happen. Secreted in his mountain hideaway high above sleepy little Townsend Harbor, his solitary existence shields him-and those around him-from the pain of his past. Until. Until one of their weekly calls is interrupted by a break-in, and Fawkes is powerless to protect the woman who has become his one link to the world. Orchestrating a trap for the fool who dared harm her, Fawkes finds himself not just ensnared, but beguiled by her. Now so close to Cady, he discovers she's fallen for "Fox", and yet he's unable to reveal her heart's desire is closer than she thinks. Can Fawkes resist the temptation to get between Cady's covers, knowing they'll never have a happily ever after?

But even as their animosity sizzles and the town begins to take sides, Ethan can't seem to keep his eyes off Darby's double D's.

And who better than Gemma, Townsend Harbor’s own gossip guru, to answer the rumor mill's most pressing questions? Like whether the silver-tongued mechanic is as good with his hands as he is with a socket wrench. Gabriel “Gabe” Kelly wasn’t born into a family so much as a criminal enterprise.

Tails From the Alpha Art Gallery
"This series is NOTHING, absolutely nothing of what I expected and absolutely EVERYTHING I wanted." - Whiskey & Wit Book Reviews
A girl’s gotta eat—and so do her three cats. Recently divorced art history grad student Hanna Harvey has just fibbed her way into a job as the assistant to dangerously drool-worthy art gallery owner Mark Abernathy. For Hanna, working in the field she desperately loves provides the perfect opportunity to begin putting her life back together. Soon her cheese budget is in the black and her feline life partners are no longer eyeing her like a six-foot can of Fancy Feast. But when her boss's lady friends start turning up dead, Hanna finds herself in the cross hairs of a murder investigation. Even worse, hunky homicide detective James Morrison fears hers might be the next body he discovers. With the "help" of the gallery's quirky cast of resident artists, Hanna will have to hunt down the truth about Abernathy’s dark secret—before it hunts her.
Someone is killing werewolves. At least, that's the way Vincent Van Gogh tells it when he shows up at Mark Abernathy's art gallery seeking protection. For gallery assistant and art history addict Hanna Harvey, meeting Van Gogh is a dream come true—until death follows the troubled artist to town and Hanna becomes the murderer’s next target. When Alpha Wereboss Mark Abernathy goes missing, a new wave of murders draws the attention of drool-worthy Detective James Morrison, further complicating Hanna’s epic dating dilemma. Only absinthe-swilling bodyguard Toulouse Lautrec stands between Hanna and the malevolent murderer whose grudge runs deep and appears to be connected to the mystery of her bloodline. Damning evidence convinces Morrison that saving Hanna’s life requires ending Abernathy’s, and she’s forced to choose between protecting the man who holds the key to her past, or spilling her secrets to the detective who could promise her a future.
It’s bad enough that the world’s most powerful vampires are following gallery assistant Hanna Harvey like a cloud of undead mosquitos. But finding one of their heads in the trunk of her Mustang? There’s not enough cheese in the world to unsee that. Her stud-muffin alpha werewolf boss, Mark Abernathy suspects that someone stashing vampy bits in Hanna’s immediate vicinity is part of a plot to set-off an inter-species war…with Hanna’s own destiny at its heart. Getting to the bottom of Hanna’s headless guests will mean fending off the dogged investigation of Detective James Morrison—now suspended from the force and hell-bent on exposing the secrets that could not only destroy Abernathy, but everyone he’s sworn to protect. Now facing a force older and more sinister than any she’s encountered, the stakes have never been higher for Hanna, who must finally decide to ascend to her rightful place in the pack, or risk losing everything—and everyone—she loves.
For Hanna Harvey, happily ever is just the beginning…of a hot mess. Now mated to darkly dangerous but irresistibly seductive werewolf, Mark Abernathy, she’s finding that life isn’t the endless cheese and whisky fueled boinkfest she’d imagined it to be. Plagued by terrifying nightmares of a mysterious entity bent on her destruction and drowning in her new responsibilities as the alpha female of the werewolf world, she’s begun to doubt that she really is the heir. And she isn’t the only one. When certain werewolf factions refuse to acknowledge Hanna's rule, what begins as a clan rivalry threatens to erupt into the first shifter war in centuries. Which is like, the worst. As is the return of Hanna’s former flame and neophyte vampire, Detective James Morrison. Bitter and out for blood (literally), he’s made it his business to exact his vengeance on all non-humans...Hanna included. Hoping to stave off the shifter Apocalypse, Hanna and Abernathy travel to The Gathering, where a mysterious figure from Abernathy’s past reveals a closely guarded secret with the power to break not only her heart, but their sworn bond as mates. With the fate of the werewolf world resting squarely on her bony shoulders, Hanna must now decide to trust the wildness within, or abandon the shifter world forever.

Jane Avery Mysteries
Updated series
coming in
2023
During Jane Avery’s shady childhood, truth was always a moving target. Since then, she’s learned that colorful fictions can clean up a lot of life’s messes―and she learned from the best. Her mother, Alexis Avery, is the most imaginatively duplicitous private eye in Denver. When the mother of invention goes missing, Jane knows that only her acquired skills of deceit can solve the mystery. It’s what aspiring lawyer Jane doesn’t know that’s left her blindsided: for starters, Alexis's latest client’a sleazy and deadly gazillionaire architect whose exploits keep the tabloids in business―and her mother's two-year affair with fellow PI Paul Gladstone. Sure, Alexis has carved out a niche for danger. But this investigation is leading Jane down a rabbit hole of kidnapping, bribery, blackmail, hired assassins, and murder. Maybe Jane doesn’t know her mother at all. Maybe to find her, Jane has to face the truth. She just hopes she can recognize it when she sees it. It could save both their lives.
When aspiring attorney and gifted prevaricator Jane Avery is charged with killing a powerful software engineer, she sticks to the whole truth and nothing but. This time, she really has no idea who he is, or what he was doing in her bed. But no sooner is Jane railroaded than she’s bailed out by shady billionaire architect Archard Valentine. He and Jane have something in common: they’re both looking for Jane’s mother, Alex. For Valentine, it’s business. For Jane, it’s personal. And with one last lead to follow, she’s on the run. Jane and Valentine aren’t the only ones bound for Seattle. So is Jane’s legal mentor…and a female colleague who plays her own games with the truth. Where they’re headed is straight into a fatal high-tech conspiracy, a web of betrayal, and a criminal mastermind connected to everything in Jane’s life. And, maybe, to all that’s missing in it. Now Jane can trust only herself to find what she’s been looking for―and fast―because believe it or not, someone is dead set on making her disappear too.
The Witches of Port Townsend
Four identical sisters are prophesied to hold the fate of the entire world in their powerful hands. Meet the Witches of Port Townsend... Moira. A water witch, Moira has always been a healer, but the one soul she can't mend is her own. When a magical spell summons her away from the safety of the Bayou, she doesn't foresee that Conquest, the first deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse is the mysterious danger she’d been hiding from. But the discoveries don’t stop there, she has three sisters who looks exactly like her, and their stories are as unbelievable as her own. Claire. A fire witch, Claire's a passionate woman cursed by her powers, longing to find someone who can withstand her love. She believes she's forever destined to be alone until she receives a message summoning her "home." The world's most violent man stands between her and her family, and even if she wins the battle, she may lose her heart to War. Aerin. An air witch, Aerin is a ruthless businesswoman well on her way to ruling the corporate world, until she discovers she not only has three identical sisters, but their fates are entwined with the apocalypse. When she meets Pestilence, an immortal whose destiny is to wipe out entire civilizations, she not only withstands his lethal touch, she craves it. Tierra. An earth witch, Tierra is all about nature and nurturing her relationships with her newfound sisters. Family means everything to her, and she'll do whatever she must to keep her sisters safe. But unless she can resist Death himself, humanity's prospects are grim. The de Moray sisters clash with the most dangerous immortals the earth has ever known. Locked on opposing sides of a battle older than time, their fight is only the beginning...of the end.
Hell hath no fury like witches scorned... Aerin. So she played with some dark magic, what’s the worst that could happen? For Aerin de Moray and her sisters, it’s that witch hunters are no longer a 400 year-old problem. What's a girl to do with this new threat when she’s already trying to corral zombies, fight a she-devil with a penchant for possession, all while attempting to thwart the prophesied apocalypse? She’ll keep her sisters close, and her enemies closer… like in her bed. Tierra. She’s accidentally sent her baby’s daddy to hell. Who has time for the apocalypse? Dooming Death to Lucifer’s infernal realms might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but with uncollected souls swarming the manor and her unborn child’s alarming powers increasing by the minute, Tierra de Moray has a hell of a problem on her hands. If Tierra can’t find a way to rescue Killian Bane before the Devil gets her due, the world doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance. Moira. For Moira de Moray, fending off witch hunters, dodging ghosts from her past, and surviving Conquest’s insistent advances has become a full-time vocation. So, when it comes time to serve Lucifer an eviction notice, Moira aims for the surefire solution—jealousy. But pretending to bump uglies with another Horseman could produce results more deadly than Moira had planned, particularly if Nick Kingswood has anything to say about it. Claire. Claire de Moray is caught between her first love and the fierce Horseman known as War. She needs to pick one and let the other go, but how can she make a life-altering decision when she’s busy hunting the witch hunters who’d like to burn her at the stake? She’s not afraid because she is Fire, but their arsenal is deadlier than she expects. Pushed to the limits, Claire takes a chance to save her family and stop the apocalypse, but gets far more than she bargained for.
The de Moray witches are back, and this time there's hell to pay.... Claire. How does a fire witch battle her feelings for a sexy apocalyptic horseman when he's burned his way into her heart? In a world now plagued with signs of the four opened seals, Claire must choose between her loyalty to her sisters and her longing to embrace her taste for War. When faced with a new evil, will Claire's desperate attempt to fix the past incinerate them all? Aerin. How does an air witch learn to fly when she's falling for the wrong man? With an army of vengeful undead rattling the gates, Aerin feels powerless to save her sisters from their ominous destiny. Turning to Pestilence for help is the first in a series of choices that might tempt her to embrace her darker nature. When faced with a whirlwind of dangerous decisions, she's left to wonder: does the end justify the means? Tierra. How does an earth witch come to terms with the fact that she and Death created a life? Consumed with the terrifying possibility that she's carrying the antichrist, Tierra must also contend with her sisters dabbling in the dark arts. But will Tierra's newfound powers help stop the apocalypse or widen the growing chasm between them all? Moira. How does a water witch stay afloat when she finds herself at the mercy of a man who has none? Kidnapped by Conquest and separated from her sisters, Moira must face down not only the demons within herself, but also a force whose lust for power could destroy everything she loves. But when Moira learns of a new threat larger than anything she or her sisters had ever imagined, will joining forces with Conquest turn the tide for good...or evil? The de Moray sisters will have a devil of a time fighting the most sinister threat they've encountered yet...the wickedness within.
So the world is ending… Tierra: Having bested the Devil by springing Death out of Hell, Tierra now isn’t so sure she wants to keep him. He bonded her to him, turning her immortal without even asking. For an earth witch who embraces the changing seasons, this is a nightmare. With the Devil on her heels, the world in peril, and their baby due around All Hollow’s Eve, what’s a witch willing to do? Just about anything. Moira: Moira de Moray has decided that prophecy should be a four-letter word. When they learn that the only way to keep the world from becoming a galactic grease stain is for another of the de Morays to get knocked up, Moira is just dumb enough to volunteer. Trouble is, in order to conceive this magical force-balancing fetus, she first has to bond herself to arrogant, infuriating, and, okay—hot enough to singe the Devil’s ass cheeks—Nick Kingswood. With the final seal looming and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Moira must decide whether she’s willing to learn what to expect when she’s expecting…The Dark One. Claire: Wouldn’t you know it? Claire finally finds the love of her life, and the devil wants to ruin everything. Chaos reigns as the world struggles to balance dark with light, and Claire fears her future with War may burn to ashes far too soon. Still, with her savage and sexy horseman by her side, Claire’s willing fight to the death to protect what is hers. As the household plots against the she-devil, one question burns in Claire’s mind. Now that she’s bonded with Dru, does immortal blood flow through her veins? The answer could make all the difference to her, her family, and the world. Aerin: Nothing like a sabotaged hillbilly wedding to make a girl wish for a speedy Armageddon. Luckily for Aerin, it is nigh. Thing is, Julian Roarke, the elegant, brilliant, sexy-as-sin immortal is sizing Aerin up for a ring as if there’s a chance in hell they’ve a future together. But how can they? The Devil—that body-snatching bimbo—is more powerful than ever with an army of evil witches in her arsenal. Pigs are flying. The moon is blood. Everything is on fire. Hell is frozen over. And as the final battle approaches, the fate of the world depends on which witch is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice…
The Case Files of Dr. Matilda Schmidt, Paranormal Psychologist

Just when Matilda convinces herself she’s not hallucinating, in walks a Vegas hit man with a big gun and a bigger threat: pay back the million dollars she owes a notorious casino mogul, or wind up as fish food in Lake Mead.

Can Matilda stay alive long enough to keep love from becoming history?
When you can't grin and bear it... Paranormal Psychologist, Matilda Schmidt is sick of secrets. But when her troubled mother falls into dangerous hands, she must enlist the help of the two men who may be hiding the most: the hot-bodied demigod who's suddenly tight-lipped about his current client, and the delicious hit man who's been concealing much more than a gun in his pocket. Faced with the destruction of her tidy life at the paws of three rowdy werebears, and protected only by an immortal egg on the edge, Matilda will have to come riding to her own rescue, or risk a life that's anything but happily ever after.

If Matilda’s luck doesn’t change soon, death might be the only thing waiting for her at the end of the rainbow.
When dead men tell mo' tales... Running afoul of a pants-less ghost pirate wasn't exactly what Paranormal Psychologist, Matilda Schmidt had in mind when she took off for some R & R. Even at a quiet beach-side bungalow, Matilda can't catch a moment's peace when the restless spirits aren't the only ones haunting her bedroom. Marooned by a disappearing demigod, and seeking a solution to banish her unwelcome guests, Matilda rides shotgun with a hit man who's better at making ghosts than eliminating them. When Matilda's new-found abilities leave her feeling more psychotic than psychic, she's forced to consider an offer she doesn't want to take, but can't afford to refuse.
A Celtic succubus muse and the last of the leannán sídhe, Lavinia both inspires some of the world’s most remarkable works of art, and feeds off the energy of their creators.

And while Crixus seems to have forgotten the passionate night they once spent together, Lavinia’s memory is long as her rap sheet.

Now Matilda must betray the trust of someone who cares for her to meet the blackmailer's demands, or she can kiss her reputation, her practice, and even her freedom goodbye. But blackmail is only the beginning when the immortal mystery-client brought to her couch by a seductive demigod causes Matilda to fling caution—along with her panties—to the wind.

Faced with the destruction of her tidy life at the paws of three rowdy werebears, and protected only by an immortal egg on the edge, Matilda will have to come riding to her own rescue, or risk a life that's anything but happily ever after. Unassailable: When dead men tell mo' tales... Running afoul of a pants-less ghost pirate wasn't exactly what Paranormal Psychologist, Matilda Schmidt had in mind when she took off for some R & R. Even at a quiet beach-side bungalow, Matilda can't catch a moment's peace when the restless spirits aren't the only ones haunting her bedroom. Marooned by a disappearing demigod, and seeking a solution to banish her unwelcome guests, Matilda rides shotgun with a hit man who's better at making ghosts than eliminating them. When Matilda's new-found abilities leave her feeling more psychotic than psychic, she's forced to consider an offer she doesn't want to take, but can't afford to refuse. Undeadly: When life sucks, and so does your next client... Halloween is just around the corner, and life is bringing Paranormal Psychologist Matilda Schmidt all tricks and no treats. Ghosts haunt her in the organic produce aisle, she's been roped into attending a costume party she'd sell her soul to avoid, and the delicious demigod who once warmed her couch is taking his clients and his attentions elsewhere. But when even her lethal hit man lover fails to recognize the threat lurking in the shadows, Matilda finds herself confronted with one hell of a problem—surrender what's left of the life she knew, or face losing herself to the madness that took her mother.
Unexpecting: When who's your daddy is a multiple choice question... Paranormal Psychologist Matilda Schmidt is one client away from fa-la-la-la-losing it. Holiday cheer is in the air, gun-toting fruitcakes are in her office, and she's spinning through mood swings fast enough to make her toss her cookies--even without the morning sickness. When Ol' Kris Kringle goes AWOL after a nervous breakdown, his disgruntled elf is convinced that only Matilda can get him back on his sleigh in time to keep humans from tearing each other apart quicker than couponeers at a Black Friday sale. But their efforts hit the skids when the men in Matilda's life show up and demand to know which of them is responsible for the bun in her oven: the hot hit man who's likely to stuff her stocking with ammunition, or the delicious demigod who's made Santa's naughty list a couple centuries running. From Hell to Breakfast: He's a supernatural bounty hunter with a broken heart and a loose zipper. She's a succubus with a smart mouth and a long rap sheet. When her crimes become his problem, they're in for one hell of a ride. Unraveled: When time isn’t on your side… Dr. Matilda Schmidt is back—and so are her crazy clients! But Godfrey Weyrick isn’t like any other patient the good doctor has encountered in her years of treating the paranormal world’s trickiest psychological cases. Mysterious as he is powerful, Weyrick’s habit of hacking the Universe’s code has the authorities ready to permanently install him in the paranormal pokey—unless he can convince Dr. Schmidt otherwise. When the time-twisting mega-genius offers Matilda a second chance at first love, the doctor will have to choose between the problematic present with her hot hit man hubby, or an uncertain future with her past demigod heartthrob. But Dr. Schmidt soon learns that chasing the one who got away could result in someone else getting away with murder...
