Fiction

Nothing spices up a Tuesday night like a good old-fashioned demon hunt. Unless, of course, you accidentally open a portal to Hell. Oops.

I used to believe in black and white, good versus evil, angels versus demons. Then I learned the hard way that Heaven has secrets, Hell has its own rules, and I’m stuck in the middle of it all.

Now I’ve got celestial bounty hunters on my ass, demons whispering sweet nothings (and death threats), and one particularly infuriating demon—who’s way too handsome for my sanity—claiming we’re “destined.” Yeah, sure, buddy. That’s what they all say.

One wrong move, and I’ll be Heaven’s traitor or Hell’s newest recruit. Either way? I’m screwed.

The Devil is in the Details is a fast-paced, snark-filled urban fantasy with kickass action, a morally gray heroine, and a demon who gives “bad decisions” a whole new meaning.

Ancient knowledge. Modern cover-ups. A discovery lost to time.

For thousands of years, the truth about civilization has been hidden—suppressed, exploited and buried beneath layers of deception. Some believe the answers lie within the Great Pyramid of Giza, but no one has ever found them. Those who tried were ridiculed, silenced or worse.

When journalist Daniel Rossler and researcher Dr. Sarah Clarke stumble upon a secret hidden within the pyramid, their discovery threatens to upend everything we know about the past. What begins as an academic curiosity quickly becomes a fight for survival as they uncover evidence that powerful forces never intended to see the light of day.

As they push forward, skepticism turns to hostility, and dangerous enemies close in. The Orion Society, a ruthless secret organization, will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. But they’re not the only ones watching. Intelligence agencies, military forces and even the President of the United States have their own reasons for keeping the past hidden.

Caught in a deadly struggle between those who seek the truth and those who will do anything to suppress it, Rossler and Clarke must unravel an ancient mystery before it’s too late. Will they reveal humanity’s greatest secret, or will the truth die with them?

The Tenth Cycle is a gripping techno thriller packed with lost history, global conspiracies, and a battle for knowledge that could change everything. This fast-paced adventure is the first book in JC Ryan’s Rossler Foundation Mystery Series.

Praise for the Rossler Foundation Mystery Series:



★★★★★ Couldn't put it down.

★★★★★ Turning history on its head!!

★★★★★ I was hooked from the outset, a tale set amongst ancient pyramids, deciphering encoded messages to gain access to the further mysteries, what a tale!

★★★★★ Absolutely stunning, gripping and "just one more chapter-ish" read!

★★★★★ I read it in one sitting!!

★★★★★ Great read, clever storyline. A real page turner.

★★★★★ Full of intrigue and suspense from the start to the finish

They say the path to Hell is paved with good intentions. Mine? It’s covered in betrayal, cosmic-scale power plays, and celestial-sized daddy issues.

I finally accepted being the Devil’s daughter—took long enough—but apparently, peace isn’t in the cards for me. The past refuses to stay buried, and every answer I dig up only leads to more dangerous truths. The kind that can break worlds.

The jinn are hiding behind their locked portals, thinking they’re safe, while Eric, my ever-possessive Prince of Hell, is trying (and failing) to stop me from throwing myself into yet another catastrophe. Meanwhile, the Fates are weaving something new into my life, and I have the distinct feeling I’m not going to like it.

But the truth doesn’t care about what I want, and the price for knowing it is steep. My past, my future, and the fate of every realm are tangled up in my blood, and if I don’t figure this out soon?

Well, let’s just say the Devil always takes his due. And this time, the price might be me.

Give a Devil His Due is a gripping, high-stakes urban fantasy packed with dark magic, dangerous secrets, and a heroine who refuses to be controlled. Perfect for fans of supernatural warfare, sizzling tension, and jaw-dropping twists.

A love born in fire always leaves something burning

The past few months have taken their toll. Guilt and grief weigh heavy on my soul. Yet Sicily feels safe, and the Mafia don’s protection extends further than the pretty Italian island.

Everyone thinks my nightmares are over, but not Franco. He’s my guard, my trainer, my friend, and he’s been there for me in ways I never imagined.

But my life is a lot like Mamma Etna, spewing out fire when you least expect it.

My father-in-law kept his promise, and what first brought joy has me living in fear. Because it’s true what they say: there’s a fine line between love and hate.

I should have known, should have listened when a friend tried to warn me. Now it might be too late.

Will I ever find my happy ever after? Or will loving a Barinov end me?

The Runaway’s Salvation is the fourth book in the Runaway series, a dark, emotional Bratva romance full of longing, Italian heat, and the fight to find peace in the shadow of the past.

It started with a wounded war dog, a relentless SEAL, and a team who turned dating into a full-blown mission.

She heals wounded animals. He makes war look easy. But love? That’s the real test.

SEAL dog handler Mike Saunders has survived cartel raids and combat tour, but his love life? That’s where he takes the real hits. When his military working dog, Axe,  is gravely injured, Mike turns to a specialist vet for help. Alison Taylor is sharp, stubborn, and far too tempting… but before things can get serious, his SEAL team launches their own plan: a not-so-standard “Girlfriend Selection Course.”

As the pranks escalate and danger from Mike’s past resurfaces, Alison proves she’s more than capable of holding her own. But some battles can’t be fought alone, and this time, it might take a soldier, a vet, and one battle-scarred dog to make it through.

I was ready to bloom in the Big Apple—until small-town love got in the way.

I was this close to making my dreams come true. Hightailing it out of small-town Florida for the Big Apple, I went to art school and was in the running for the perfect job when the aunt who raised me died. Good news: She left me everything she had. Bad news: That includes her flower shop, which I have to run successfully for a year before I’m allowed to sell it.

So now, I’m back where I don’t want to be, trying to fix up a business that seems to be better at providing shelter for raccoons and cockroaches than making money. And that’s when he shows up…

Kade Maverick. The guy who bullied me in high school. Owner of the sparkling green eyes I’ve never been able to ignore.

He’s changed somehow. It’s not just that he’s got a scar on his face from a motorcycle accident. He’s… vulnerable? He has a four-year-old niece he’s caring for, and he’s willing to do anything to help me fix up the store.

As business starts to boom, we’re getting close. Too close. Everything feels perfect.

But I’m going back to NYC when my year is up, and he’s just not a part of those plans. Right?

Only three children survived the terrors of Oneka Falls, New York in 1979.

Each of them paid a terrible price and had to survive as best they could—wrapped in fantasy, the comfort of amnesia, or the silence of self-imposed isolation.

But the strongest of the demons is the one who terrorized them as children…

Can they survive another confrontation with the Demon King?

Why can’t I turn down a woman in distress?

I just took a case from the tearful, but very rich, widow whose husband supposedly died at the hands of a century-old phantom. He was the owner of Barker Steel Mill and it doesn’t take me long to realise that something very weird is going on there.

She doesn't have time for romance—until he walks through the door.

Single mom Cindy barely has time to breathe, let alone think about dating—especially not with cocky Andy, the ex-military heartthrob who's unexpectedly returned to their small Texas hometown. Between juggling soccer practices, school events and two demanding nursing jobs, romance is the last thing on Cindy’s mind. But then Andy walks in, all charming smiles and intense gazes, and suddenly the Texas heat isn't the only thing making her sweat. Too bad he’s as overconfident as ever. Cindy knows better than to fall for a guy like him—no matter how tempting he is.

Andy never imagined medical retirement would send him back home—or lead him straight to the fiery, overworked nurse who's as irresistible as she is off-limits. Cindy isn't looking for trouble, especially the kind that could jeopardize her job, and Andy’s complicated family past only adds to the obstacles.

When sparks ignite, they'll need to decide if their attraction is worth the risk, or if past baggage and professional boundaries will extinguish their budding romance before it even starts.

The magical third book in the Splintered Magic series!

She defeated the witches… and accidentally exiled herself to the Faerie Realm. Oops.

Brigid Donovan managed to defeat the witch coven… but victory came with a price. Now she’s stranded in the fae realm with no plan, no exit, and barely any magic left to her name. At least she has her best friend and Mr. Mittens the talking cat. Small wins, right?

Unfortunately, they’re not the only ones who came through. Sofia, the coven’s head witch, also got sucked into the fae realm. If Brigid had any luck left, some wild creature would eat Sofia and solve everything. But Brigid’s luck ran out ages ago.

Now Brigid must:

1. Survive a glittering, dangerous world of Fae politics
2. Avoid triggering a war by insulting the wrong immortal
3. Convince her ancient fae great-grandfather to help... without getting him killed

It’s a race to get back to Earth… and whoever makes it first might get to keep Brigid’s power forever.

Splintered Fate is Book Three in the Splintered Magic series, a sharp, snarky blend of urban fantasy, fae mischief, talking cats, and magical mayhem. Perfect for fans of humorous paranormal adventure, witchy world-building, and midlife heroines with bite.

With the help of her druid grandmother, she'll break her curses or seek her revenge on the evil queen. Except it's not her grandma laying in bed in the cottage… No, it's one of the forbidden Growlers, one of the creatures she was primarily hired to kill.

Wulfric remembers nothing before becoming a Growler ten years ago. In that time, he's worked his way up to alpha and led his tribe well. Until a few dissenters attack him on patrol. Wounded and near death, he plunges into the river. Only the druid can save him now.

With a Hunter out for revenge and a Growler determined to take back his alpha position, these two have no interest in fated mates or helping each other. It might be what's needed to get what they want.

There is something very odd going on, that’s for sure, and as he starts to investigate, the woman’s checkered past comes to life. Is she guilty after all?

Lady Alexis knows only the pampered life of an elite debutant. That soon changes when she is forced to run away from her posh existence. Accidentally boarding the wrong ship, she is stranded in the French smuggling port of Gravelines. Unable to go back, she naively stows away in the wagons of a merchant bound for Paris.

When the maniacal General de Sole decides he must have Alexis, and nothing, even murder, will stand in his way, the game becomes doubly dangerous.

Alexis‘s coming of age is a journey that takes her from innocent girl to heroic woman, in a battle to save herself and the man she loves...The Spy.

As emotions she thought long buried resurface, Elyse finds herself at a crossroads. At fifty-eight, is she being foolish to risk her heart again, or is love worth the leap.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It was the age of Starbucks, it was the age of phone apps. It was the season of the supernatural, it was the season of the mundane. It was the winter of coffee, it was the spring of more coffee…a lot more coffee. It was the epoch of jewelry store robbing reptiles, it was the epoch of early parole.

After eighteen years in a Locus of Baltimore dungeon, Dr. Agon is released to the care of his daughter in the Locus of New York. Following a spate of robberies, Dru and Leery spend the night together…

On a stakeout! (Why? What were you thinking?)

Can they keep their cool or will things get hot in A Tail of Two Cities?

Cheryl Phipps is a USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance and women’s fiction. Married for forty plus years (a teenage bride, no less) to her own ‘the one’, and at the beck and call of a handful (or two) of grandchildren, she loves weaving sensual stories that celebrate love, family and resilience, as well as delivering a heart-racing, happy ending, with a sprinkle of humor.

It takes a lot to make a werewolf disappear…and it starts with a voice from the darkness and a bolt of lightning.

When Dru drops by before work, she finds Leery's apartment standing open, the doors scorched, but of Leery there is no sign.

Forensic evidence points to the workings of a magister of significant power, but Leery isn't exactly an angel, so narrowing down the suspect list is daunting. To make matters worse, not even Lucifer can locate Leery. But Dru and the rest of Leery's friends are motivated…

Then Jordan Lambert comes to town. Owner of the new resort in Dreamers Bay, Jordan represents everything she despises—rich men who think they can buy anything or anyone. There’s no way she’s letting him close, no matter how much he persists. No matter how sexy he is.



A confirmed bachelor who usually gets what he wants.

Just when he’d thought things were running smoothly at the resort, and in his life, Jordan discovers this couldn’t be further from the truth. He needs to hire someone fast, and Megan Adams, with all the necessary skills, is the one he wants.

A world under surveillance. A population under control. A conspiracy too big to stop?

When a ruthless organisation called the Supreme Council seizes control of the world, they implement a chipping program designed to monitor and manipulate the population. Their plan is clear—use advanced technology and the power of misinformation to tighten their grip on society and eliminate all opposition.

As the Supreme Council enforces its rule, former President Nigel Harper delivers a dire warning:

"The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal, with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under absolute despotism, it is not just their right—it is their duty—to throw off such a government and provide new guards for their future security.  

This is not just a struggle for freedom.  

This is a Second War of Independence—not only for the liberation of the United States but for the entire world."

With time running out, Daniel Rossler and his team at the Rossler Foundation must uncover the truth behind the Supreme Council’s terrifying technology and find a way to dismantle their control. But with powerful enemies closing in, the fight for freedom may come at a greater cost than anyone ever imagined.

The Phoenix Agenda is the electrifying sixth installment in JC Ryan’s acclaimed Rossler Foundation Mystery series, where technology, power and resistance collide in a high-stakes battle for the future of humanity.

A man walks into a diner, bleeding and armed. He claims he’s being hunted. That something’s coming. That no one’s safe. Hours later, he’s found dead in a holding cell.

John Beckett, former MI6, doesn’t buy the suicide story. Neither does Detective Maggie Lee.

When the evidence vanishes and questions are brushed aside, Beckett and Lee start digging.

Their search leads them to a powerful tech company, a private security firm, and a missing device everyone wants but no one will admit exists.

As they move closer to the truth, they find themselves hunted by people who kill without hesitation.

With no backup, no resources, and time running out, Beckett must face a threat that could bring down everything—and everyone—he’s ever fought to protect.

A Line in the Sand is book five in the John Beckett series—a taut, high-stakes thriller where the price of truth is blood.
