find out, Draeg Blackthorn has been sent to the estate to
spy, undercover as a stableman for the stridebeasts, beautiful creatures
that hold a place in Lori's heart no member of her family ever could.
Bullied by her family, Lori has decided to abandon her bloodline and
live on her own with her true family - her animals. When Draeg
discovers she's rejecting her heritage, he's appalled. He's come to love
the land as much as the woman, even spinning small fantasies of
marrying Lori and becoming Lord and Lady of the manor. Draeg wants
her to stay and fight her elders. For Lori, it's an alternative that could
render her powerless to pursue her own destiny, and drive her further
away from her perfect dreams and the man she loves, Draeg.

Delilah is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name,
as she’s forced to perform in town after town. But there is breathtaking
beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival.
Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other
attractions—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange,

And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie,

mean you don’t have to do things the hard way. That’s why
she finds herself on a rescue mission skipping through time even
though she doesn’t entirely understand her dimension-bending new
power. Rescuing her friend John Pritkin should have been an in-andout kind of deal, but with the near-immortal mage’s soul lost in time,
Cassie has to hunt for it through the ages with Pritkin’s demon dad in
tow. He’s the only one who can reverse Pritkin’s curse, but with the
guardians of the timeline dead set on stopping anyone from mucking
about, Cassie will have to figure out how to get her friend back without

she's ever had, but she was desperate--she's not about to
leave her seven-year-old son to be raised by her rigid,
overbearing in-laws. On top of post-turning transition issues,
like being ignored at PTA meetings and other mothers
rejecting her son's invitations for sleepovers, Libby must deal with her
father-in-law's attempts to declare her an unfit mother, her growing
feelings for Wade--a tattooed redneck single dad she met while hiding
in a closet at Back to School Night--and the return of her sire, who
hasn't stopped thinking about brave, snarky Libby since he turned her.

responsibility to drive the dead back to their graves, because around
Whisper Hollow, people and secrets don’t always stay buried. When I
was little, I was told my mother ran off. But now it looks like she was
murdered. With the help of my mysterious neighbor Bryan, we begin to
unravel the mystery of her disappearance, and in doing so, unearth a
dark force seeking to bury Whisper Hollow. Now I must work with the

BOOK #1 $35.00 TRADE P/BACK
How would I describe myself? Well, I’m Muse Harper. I m a
twenty-something painter who loves red wine, quirky movies,
and men with a fatal flaw. But that was before I met Jasper
King. He became my fatal flaw. Eight months ago, I had a
choice to make abandon everything I’ve ever known to protect
my family, or stay and risk someone getting hurt. I chose the
former. My plan was working just fine until I found out my father had gone
missing. That’s when I met Jasper. A bounty hunter with the eyes of a tiger
and the nose of a bloodhound, he was supposed to help me find my father.
What I didn’t know was that meeting him was no accident. Hunting people
isn’t all that Jasper does. And helping me was only part of his plan. I just wish
I’d found out sooner, before my heart got involved. But even then, I don’t
know if I’d have done things differently. Now, I have another choice to make
trust the man that I’m falling in love with and hope that he’ll do the right
thing, or run as far away from him as I can get.

There was a time when I had everything-a wonderful family, a
bright future. Love. But all that was taken away in a single
night, torn from me like flesh from bone. Since then, I've
hidden away in my second-choice job as a makeup artist. But I
prefer it that way, actually. I'm comfortable in the shadows,
where no one can see my scars. Kiefer Rogan literally took my
breath away the moment I met him. MMA champion-turned-actor, notorious
playboy, charming to a fault -- he's everything I vowed to avoid. But he just
wouldn't stop until I opened up and let him in. Maybe I should've tried
harder to resist him. Maybe I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. Because
I, of all people, know that everyone has secrets. Scars. And that they're
usually ugly and painful and destructive to the people we love most. I just
never guessed that they could be deadly, too.
