In the mystical town of Singing Falls, where magic and mystery intertwine, Torie has discovered that just when things seem to settle down, chaos is bound to erupt.

Under the bewitching glow of a full moon, Torie and her friends embark on a midnight quest to gather a rare, enchanted herb that blossoms only once a month. But their moonlit adventure takes a chilling turn when they stumble upon a lifeless body, leading them down a harrowing path of horrors beyond their wildest nightmares.

As a new coven of hedge witches encroaches on their territory, Torie and Jasmin find themselves racing against time to unravel the truth behind a deadly assault targeting their own.

The greatest currency in a war for power… is blood.

We stopped one disaster—but that only bought us time. Whatever evil’s trying to claw its way out of its prison isn’t done yet. I didn’t stop it. I just delayed the inevitable.

Now that Zoltan’s back, we might finally uncover who’s been pulling the strings behind it all. But I’ve got a fight on two fronts: destroy the hunters before they recover… and protect my heart before it breaks for good.

I’m used to things not going to plan. So when I’m told I need to be initiated into the Daywalkers’ secret guild, I agree.

What no one mentioned… was that I might not survive it.

I know a sacrifice has to be made.

I just didn’t know whose blood would be the price.

Initiated is the next scorching book in the Daywalker Urban Fantasy Paranormal Romance series—where secrets burn, blood rules, and survival means everything.

My board of directors need me to clean up my act because my recent antics have caused our stock to plummet. They want me to find a wife and settle down, at least until our merger with Dreamscape Entertainment goes through. As CEO of our company's film production arm, Kensington Entertainment, I can't afford to look bad in the press. So, I ask my long-time general counsel to find me somebody suitable to the board.

She finds me the most goody-two-shoes woman alive - Celeste Jenkins. I mean, what the hell? She apparently wants me to die of boredom. But I'll do what she wants because I'm trying to close a merger deal with the biggest movie studio around, Dreamscape Entertainment, and if our stock continues its slide, the merger won't go through.

Also, my six brothers are constantly on me about my man-whore ways. I'll finally show them they can respect me. So, if I have to be married to a quiet bookworm development executive to show my brothers I'm not a total loser, I'll do it. I'm tired of them busting on me.

Celeste
I'm a development executive at Dreamscape Entertainment, but living in Los Angeles is expensive. That would be okay, except my mother has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and can no longer work three jobs to support herself and my younger sister, Lexi. Not to mention the astronomical medical bills she'll be racking up.

But I just got an offer I can't refuse - become a nanny, I mean wife, to Kensington Entertainment CEO and all-around jerk, Max Kensington. Kensington's general counsel set this up and has promised me enough money to keep my mother afloat while she goes through treatment and to pay her medical bills. I just have to stay married to the guy for one year, just until the merger with Dreamscape Entertainment goes through.

I would rather walk barefoot in the Sahara Desert in the middle of summer than become a babysitter for the likes of Max Kensington. But I have no choice - if I want my mother to live and make sure there's food on the table for Mom and Lexi, I have to do it. I'll take one for the team.

I would do anything for my family.

This is a grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, arranged marriage full-length romance with a guaranteed HEA with a swoon-worthy H and sweet and innocent h. No cheating. You know what you're going to get and you love it!

The world knows the legend of Helen of Troy, but not her story. Even the name by which she is remembered is not her true title. She was Helen, Queen of Sparta—and much more than a pretty face. 

Delaney McPhearson has been branded a public pariah. Barely escaping from Colorado with her life, she owes her survival to one man: Drake—a flamboyant Las Vegas entertainer, sabbatical-taking archangel and self-proclaimed consummate egoist. 

But Drake’s help comes at a cost. He has his own agenda, and for Laney to move forward, she must first delve into her past—she must remember her life as Helen of Troy. 

For centuries, the world has misunderstood Helen. Cults celebrated her long before Homer immortalized her in The Iliad as the woman who abandoned her family and kingdom for love. But as with so many figures from history, her true story is far more complex. 

Now, the time has come for the most maligned woman in history to tell her side of the story. And as Laney begins to uncover the truth, she discovers that Helen’s life—and her own—are more intertwined than she ever imagined. 

With heart-pounding action and earth-shattering stakes, The Belial Warrior is an unforgettable ride. If you love thrillers packed with ancient mysteries, explosive twists and relentless suspense, this is a must-read.

They say when in Hell, only the Devil can point the way out. Lucky me—I’ve got two of them fighting over me.

I died. (Rude, right?) But now the question isn’t how to bring me back—it’s whether they should.

Raphael, the ever-holy Archangel, is ready to throw away his wings to defy Heaven itself, while Eric, my Prince of Hell, would burn down the realms just to get me back. But the thing is…What if I don’t come back right? The veil between life and death isn’t meant to be crossed, and if they do this, there’s no telling what I’ll become.

The world is already teetering on the edge—souls are vanishing, monsters are crawling out of the dark, and the jinn are playing their own twisted game. And if I return? I might be the biggest threat of all.

Is one life worth the cost of all creation?

Called to investigate a mystery at a local gypsum mine, paranormal detective, Tempest Michaels, expects to find a rational explanation for the strange events …

… instead, he discovers a body and a horrified staff.

Recent earthworks exposed something ancient, twisted, and above all evil. It has claimed one life already and the staff are terrified for who might be next.

No one saw what it was though, just a glimpse of a shadow.

Why does it want to keep people away from the area? Will it claim more bodies as the mine’s owners believe? Or can Tempest unravel the mystery behind the shadow before it can strike again?

One thing is for sure, this is like nothing he’s ever faced before, and just maybe this time, the creature is real.

The paranormal? It’s all nonsense, but proving might just get him killed.
