Book One

Minerva Peabody needs a man. Unfortunately she picked the wrong one. The impoverished playwright has a dream to see her plays performed on stage but in Elizabethan England, not only are women considered the inferior sex, they simply do NOT write plays. Faced with rejection after rejection, she decides to take one more chance with the most desperate theater manager in London, only this time she’ll use the cover of a man. Sucked in by a pair of bright blue eyes and impressive shoulders, she chooses Blake out of the crowd, never thinking he’ll actually play an active role in her ruse. But when he does, he gets under her skin in the most alarming way.

Privateer (don’t call him a pirate to his face), Robert Blakewell, accepted Min’s proposal to give him a cover while he searched for the cur who got his sister with child. But when his mission threatens to destroy Min’s fledgling career, he must make a choice: protect his family or the woman he has grown to love. Either choice will see him lose something precious.

Especially when he begins to desire strong-willed and low-born Alice Croft, the seamstress to Lord Hawkesbury’s Players and the woman helping him spy on his sister’s lover. If anyone finds out, Leo’s chance of marrying well will be ruined.

However the scandal will be nothing compared to what happens when Alice cracks through the hard shell around Leo’s heart. Because how can he afford to love a woman who only wants him for the fortune she thinks he possesses?

Coming Soon to print and ebook!

In the ancient past, an abhorrent evil arises, led by ascendant demons. To defend her kingdom, a queen – also a powerful sorceress – creates the Acaia Crystal, named after her kingdom, into which she fuses all her magical powers and life force. Down through countless centuries her descendants bond with the Crystal to rule and protect the Acaia Kingdom. The Crystal performs its work….

…centuries later, an evil warlock called Thane frees a powerful demon named Varmu and binds its force to his soul, completely destroying the kingdom and its people. Before she dies, however, the Queen’s descendant, Princess Atalia makes a wish on the Crystal to reincarnate her family, her people, and the fair kingdom that had been home to many ancestors.

Three hundred years pass and Acaia is shockingly changed. The reincarnated Princess Atalia and her family have long lost their royal titles. The princess is now known as Melanie Tyler who – with confidant Caleb Bryan, former prince and fiancé from the past – as well as their families and friends – must confront the ageless threat. Although Varmu is once more imprisoned, Thane plots to free the horrific spirit once more and bind it to him. Determined to destroy the Acaia Crystal, Melanie, Caleb, and all of Acaia, the warlock renews his malicious quest to destroy all remnants of Acaia and its people.

The Crystal can help once more, but Melanie and Caleb, only sixteen-years-old, have forgotten their magic, their past, and the deep love they once shared. Spurred by their dramatic circumstances, affection is reborn as their memories bring pain and heartache as well as a joint commitment to prevent Thane and Varmu from destroying their lives and legacy forever. Time is short. Melanie and Caleb’s memories rekindle the love they once shared, but are their reborn emotions simply a dim echo from the irretrievable past?

Can the pair save the kingdom as well as reignite their love?

Kyona’s lost heir is found—but his birthright might be his greatest curse

Calinnae’s world is shattered when a discovery about his best friend Jonan brings the king’s soldiers down on both families. Barely avoiding their pursuers, the two friends escape with nothing but each other, and the stories of the past they grew up with. Stories that might hold answers, if they turn out to be more than just legends.

Still hunted, they set out for Kyona’s infamous mountains, assisted by Elnora, an unlikely rescuer with mysteries of her own. They hope to find answers, perhaps even the dragons of legend, whose magic might be the key to restoring Kyona’s ancient bloodline.

But the mountains hold more than just magic—they hold a secret that none of the friends are prepared for. And Calinnae’s response, as much as Jonan’s, will decide whether the kingdom stands or falls.
