Fiction

When the town's hottest mechanic rescues a stranded chef, things are bound to get spicy.

Chef and photographer Wendy is done with Colorado—and heartbreak. Harassed, fired, evicted and left at the altar, she’s desperate for a fresh start far from her painful past. But when her car breaks down in Crimson Creek, Texas, Wendy wonders if fate is determined to keep her life stalled.

Jake is home from deployment for two short weeks, juggling his auto shop, his hovering mom and the chaos of an ex claiming he's the father of her child. Saving Wendy from a rainy roadside breakdown was supposed to be simple—not the start of a delicious distraction he never expected.

Something irresistible simmers between the two of them. But with Jake's ex stirring drama, a demanding new job at the local Bed and Breakfast and the looming end of Jake's leave, the recipe for romance might burn before they taste real happiness.

The Mechanic Gets His Girl is a steamy small-town romance featuring sizzling chemistry, second-chance hope, and a heat level that'll have you craving more.

The dark gods of my people are back, and they’re hunting the shadow-winged — like me.

Being a bush pilot is the third most dangerous job in the world. I’m Piper Tikaani, and I take that in stride. As an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter—flying is second nature, whether in my supernatural form or tackling the skies in my Super Cub.

Strong winds, rugged terrain, and rough clients are all the excitement I need. But when a family friend is found dead on the roof of his wilderness cabin, I find myself caught in a world of hidden treasure and a new, dark reality.

Now the people I love hide things from me and ancient, terrifying beasts stalk the land.

To survive, I must discover the truth about the treasure, my clan, and myself—which means exposing my secret to the very creatures hunting me: ice age were-predators determined to see me dead.

They say evil has many faces. Unfortunately for me, one of them looks exactly like mine.

Surviving Hell was just the beginning. Now, I’m back on Earth, and things are not looking great—my city is burning, my so-called allies are turning on me, and my arch-nemesis is still breathing when he really, really shouldn’t be. Oh, and did I mention I’m apparently Satan’s daughter? Yeah. That one’s new.

With Eric still locked in a healing sleep, it’s up to me to stop an Archdemon with a god complex before he brings both Heaven and Hell to their knees. But between shape-shifting jinn, long-lost secrets, and an Order that’s been lying to me from day one, I don’t know whom to trust.

All I know is this: I’m done being a pawn. The war is coming, and whether Heaven or Hell likes it or not—

I’m playing by my own damn rules now.

The Devil in Disguise is a gripping, action-packed urban fantasy filled with supernatural warfare, jaw-dropping twists, and a heroine who refuses to be controlled. Perfect for fans of dark magic, dangerous alliances, and sizzling tension.

Verity King has a problem with her husband. He’s been turned into a frog, and contrary to opinion, that’s not an improvement.

A cryptic message, a severed finger in her fridge, and no signs of forced entry make it clear to Tempest why he was called, but Mr King’s worrying transformation is just the first act.

Almost before he can add up the clues, a second victim confirms the theme and Tempest finds himself up against someone performing modern retellings of the Grimm Brothers’ Fairy Tales … with real live human characters.

Tempest also has a new partner and it’s not his old army buddy, Darius Kane, in the country to learn the ropes before he opens his own franchise. No, it’s the last person on Earth he wants to work with.

They closed the case. She never did.

FBI Special Agent Dom Walker has spent years outrunning the disgrace tied to her name. Her father, a decorated NYPD officer, was arrested in a sting and dead by suicide days later. Case closed. Pain shelved.

Until a whispered confession suggests it was all a setup.

Now Dom is pulled into an off-the-books investigation with everything on the line—her badge, her father’s legacy, and a truth someone has worked hard to erase. The deeper she digs, the darker it gets: a former Internal Affairs chief with too many secrets, a corrupt network buried beneath decades of silence, and a cover-up built to survive scrutiny.

Worse still, the rot is spreading—to people she trusts most.

Dom isn’t just chasing answers now. She’s fighting to protect her team: unfiltered, unapologetic analyst Lea Peck; brilliant researcher Mila Pascale; close ally Owen Whyte, and her brother, Beecher, suddenly caught in the crosshairs.

Some secrets don’t die with the past. Some come for what you love.

They say the Devil gives you everything you want. In my case? He gave me daddy issues.

Surviving Hell was bad enough. Now Satan himself wants a family reunion, and something tells me it’s not for tea and biscuits. The world is in chaos, demons are running rampant, and Heaven and Hell are suddenly on the same page—for once. The problem? I might be the only one who can stop what’s coming.

No pressure, right?

With my so-called allies keeping secrets, I have to figure out whether I’m humanity’s last hope or its biggest threat. Because if I choose wrong, the world burns. And if I choose right?

Well, let’s just say my definition of "right" might not match Heaven’s.

They thought it was just a lost city—until the death toll began.

When Professor Charles Summers leads an expedition deep into Antarctica’s Transantarctic Mountains, he hopes to uncover a lost civilization. Instead, they unearth something far more sinister—a 35,000-year-old city hiding an ancient and deadly plague.

Within weeks, five million are dead. Another ten million are dying. Billions more will follow.

But this is no ordinary disease. It targets only certain ethnic groups.

Governments fear it’s a genetic bioweapon, engineered for ethnic cleansing and now deployed with devastating precision. Panic spreads. Nations turn on each other. The world teeters on the brink of war.

Economic and political chaos erupt. Stock markets crash. Lawlessness spreads. Radical solutions are considered—and executed. Within days, full-scale war is inevitable. Half the world’s population will be wiped out in a final apocalyptic battle. Nuclear warheads are armed. Military forces are ready to strike.

And there are those who want this to happen.

Only Summers and his small team may have the knowledge to stop it. But can they? Will they even be allowed to try? More importantly, is there enough time?

Genetic Bullets is the explosive sequel to Ninth Cycle Antarctica and the third thrilling installment in JC Ryan’s acclaimed Rossler Foundation Mystery series, delving into genetic engineering, global conspiracies and the fight to prevent humanity’s darkest fate.

Praise for the Rossler Foundation Mystery series:  

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another literary homerun, this book is a five-star read from start to finish.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An astonishing book!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A stunning and satisfying book!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the greatest read that I have had the pleasure of encountering in ages.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely fabulous.

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.

SEAL of Approval is romance-meets action in a light-hearted love story with a serious twist. It is dedicated to the Military Working Dogs who have served, loyal and steadfast, alongside their handlers in the world’s deadliest conflict zones.

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 Soldier Gets His Girl is a steamy small-town romance in the Crimson Creek series, perfect for readers who love strong heroines, irresistible heroes and plenty of heat.

Millions of people are trapped far from home because of the President’s travel restrictions, shutting down air travel and the borders between states, as the weaponized virus rages across America.  The New York City subway system is overrun with the zombie-like infected. Chicago, abandoned by its mayor, is in flames.

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.
