Now available!

Exiled from her old life as the daughter of a vizier, Zaria still grieves the lost friends of her childhood. She’s grown accustomed to her new role as a servant, though—up until the day she stumbles on the fabled lost cave of treasures.

The wealth inside is enough to transform anyone’s life, but Zaria isn’t the first to find it. A gang of cutthroat thieves got there first, and their behavior makes Zaria question everything she sees. With an unknown enchantment at work, and forty criminals desperate to protect their hoard, she doesn’t want anything to do with the gold.

But when her royal friends reappear, Zaria discovers the cave is the key to defeating a threat to the entire kingdom. She can’t turn her back on her people, even if that means facing thieves and traitors with Crown Prince Tarek at her side. Zaria thought she’d found peace with her past, but now she isn’t sure if she’s more in danger of losing her life or her heart.

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, a servant girl must outwit a cunning adversary before she can claim the treasure her heart truly desires.

Introducing the cover for USA Today Bestselling author A.W. Hartoin’s latest Stella Bled Thriller, “Her London Season”.

Now available!

London, 1940.

The Battle of Britain rages while Stella Bled sits frustrated on the sidelines. Her husband, Nicky, is unreachable as he risks his life flying in a Spitfire and she has to recover from her mission in France without her beloved Bijou or a single familiar face.
Stella isn’t exactly content to rest, but she has no choice until a mysterious set of orders arrives at Castle Caladh. Something isn’t right, but Stella’s eager to return to service and ends up at a meeting in the famous St. Ermin’s Hotel. That meeting will land in the history books, but Stella, clearly, wasn’t supposed to get through it unscathed. Someone wants her out of the SIS and they have the power to pull some very long strings.

As the Blitz begins, Stella juggles two roles. One as a secretary at the newly formed Special Operations Executive and the other as an ordinary volunteer at the Women’s Voluntary Service. The Nazi push to invade England is looming closer and the chatter in the SIS networks is getting louder. All Stella wants to do is get back to her chosen profession and fight the only way she can, but the enemy has other ideas. If it isn’t bombs from the sky, it’s betrayal on the ground. Like England, Stella has almost nothing left to give, but more will be required if she and the nation she loves is to survive some of the darkest days in history.

A Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

Roisen Karro and her grandmother run the most beloved bakery in the province of Omaira. Ever since her father disappeared seven years ago, Ro has decided there is no place for a man in her heart, especially an obnoxiously flirty woodcutter. Unfortunately, her granny has no issue encouraging the young man’s advances toward her.

At the far end of Omaira, a strange foreigner washes up on the shores and finds himself amongst the ranks of a nefarious group of beasts. With no knowledge of the Ruby Realm or even a grasp on their language, the foreigner agrees to do their dirty work until he gets back on his feet. All they asked him to do was kidnap some girl from a bakery, anyway…

As Ro discovers there is more behind her father’s disappearance than she knew, she finds herself entangled in the schemes of a sly new foe. With only the clothes on her back and a pack of wolves on her heels, Ro must find her way back to her granny before it’s too late for them both. Will Ro be able to survive the hunt? Or will the beasts swallow her family whole…?

Cover reveal and release day for USA Today Bestselling author Patricia McLinn’s latest book, “First Date: Divorce”, the first in her new Wyoming Marriage Alliance series.

Now available!

Going undercover as a couple on the brink of divorce is the perfect role for K.D. and Eric. After all, neither of them believes in marriage. The one snag is they’ve never met before.

Locals think there’s something wrong going on at the Marriage-Save facility that wants to take up permanent residence in a historic building in Bardville, Wyoming. While he investigates from the outside, the sheriff recruits his friend, Eric Larkin, to look into the matter from the inside, along with deputy K.D. Hamilton, as a couple desperately in need of counseling.

It’s a match made for divorce.

K.D. never has believed in marriage, with her view strengthened by watching her mother’s current marriage restrict and change her.

Eric’s family is filled with good marriages, leaving him unprepared for the possibility of a bad one. His was a stinker. The divorce from his ambitious ex was even worse. As he told someone, “For me it was getting hit in the head from behind with a cement block. After the first blow, it’s all a little foggy.”

So, they’re all ready for the relationship-headed-for-divorce part of this assignment. But to fool everyone at the Marriage-Save facility, they also need to persuade them there was enough between them once to fall in love and get married.

This could be trickier than either of them ever expected/bargained for.

One stunning bride.
One wedding.
One night with the king.
One execution come morning.
Rinse and repeat.

When the fae king of Naenden returns home to his palace only to find that his human queen has committed treason by conspiring to assassinate him, he has the queen executed and decrees that once every mooncycle, he’ll marry a human woman from the kingdom, only to execute her the following morning.

Unless…

Unless one woman offers herself as a sacrificial bride for the rest.

Asha isn’t worried about being chosen, of course. The decree was quite clear about beauty being among the top criteria for being selected as one of the king’s unfortunate brides. And Asha is no beauty, all thanks to the illegal magic that inhabits her body, leaving her scarred and missing an eye. The same magic that occasionally possesses her voice so it can amuse itself by telling a never-ending story with a string of horrible cliffhangers.

The problem is, Asha might not be a beauty, but her sister Dinah is. When Asha realizes Dinah is in danger of being selected as the king’s sacrificial bride, Asha decides she can’t live with that risk. So she offers herself instead.

Except on the night of their wedding, the king grants Asha a final request.

Naturally, she asks to tell her sister one last bedtime story.

Naturally, the king eavesdrops.

The question is…

Will the story save her life…or ruin it?

A tale of love and betrayal, vengeance and sacrifice, magic and romance, this imaginative retelling of 1,001 Nights will keep you guessing with each turn of the page.

Miriam left her thieving past behind.
But now she’s fallen for an outlaw, and the only way to protect those she loves may be to become one herself.

Growing up the daughter of a thief and con man taught Miriam how to steal. But it also convinced her that’s not the lifestyle she wants. Having escaped that life with her brother, she now values her place on the right side of the law. However, when the new magistrate of Murrwood Village starts taxing the people and stealing their goods, Miriam finds herself an unwitting part of Rowan Lockley’s unconventional and illegal form of justice.

He has a tragic past and deadly aim with an arrow, but as Rowan and Miriam fight over the question of right and wrong, Miriam must also fight her growing feelings for him. How can she possibly fall for an outlaw when that’s the life from which she ran? She’ll have to decide whether obeying the law and doing what’s right are always the same thing. And if they’re not, will she have the courage to embrace the thieving skills she’s shunned for so long in order to help those who need it most?

Full of danger and daring, this romantic adventure reframes the classic tale of Robin Hood, as it forces Miriam to choose between loyalty to the brother who saved her and the love of a man who’s given up on the law.

When the end of the world is coming, there’s no time to think about your heart

Merletta is out of time, and so are the triple kingdoms. She can’t outswim her mistakes, and if she can’t expose the Center’s lies, so many will pay the price. Matters of the heart have no place—whether on land with Heath, or in her underwater search for her family.

Heath has accepted that there’s no simple way for him and Merletta to be together. With the wrath of the dragons hanging over Merletta, and the increasingly desperate need to clear Percival’s name, Heath has never felt more torn between worlds.

Merletta is ready to give everything in this final fight, and Heath’s attempts to protect everyone have caused his magic to grow far beyond what he once imagined. But they both know it still won’t be enough—even if they could achieve the impossible and save their two worlds, there’s no future where their paths don’t diverge.

There’s nothing to cling to but hope. And yet hope is the most tenacious and powerful ally of all…

A Kingdom Restored is the final book in The Vazula Chronicles, a YA fantasy series of four installments, which should be read in order. In addition to irritatingly inscrutable dragons, the series features a clean slow burn romance between a mermaid and a reluctantly magical human.

.

Five hundred years ago, Princess Eria stood in line for the throne of Acaia. With the death of her mother, the Acaia Crystal, which held powerful magic, was to be hers. On the day of the ceremony, Eria waited patiently for the Acaia Crystal to join with her. Instead, she was shocked when the crystal went instead to her younger sister, Isadora, who then became the next queen of Acaia. Eria was furious and burned with jealousy. This was intensified over time as Isadora ruled Acaia and bore two heirs, Princess Atalia and Prince Arden.

Eria decides to steal the crystal, but the warlock, Thane, unleashes the demon, Varmu, and uses the powers of necromancy to destroy Acaia. Her sister dies, but before Eria could claim the crystal, it goes to her niece, Princess Atalia, who uses the powers of the Acaia Crystal to reincarnate her loved ones, the people and the kingdom. Thus, 500 years pass before Atalia’s wish can come true. Now known as Jocelyn Anderson, the powerful sorceress and former Princess Eria reawakens and regains her magic in present day Acaia. She is again hellbent on stealing what she feels is rightfully hers, no matter the cost. Using the power of the blood moon coupled with dark magic, the sorceress unleashes a tsunami of evil, using Thane’s daughter, an ally of Rebecca’s family along with stolen blood to erase everyone’s memories and magic. When the sorceress awakens, she finds she is the sole caretaker of the Acaia Crystal.

Lilly Bryan and Ryan Thompson, both sixteen, wake up in their hometown to find their lives and everyone else’s have drastically changed. Their stories are rewritten, and they discover that they are two of only a few people in Acaia who still have their magic and memories. The pair of teens realize Jocelyn is targeting members of the royal family to make sure she remains the sole caretaker of the Crystal. 

While coming to terms with their growing feelings for each other, Lilly and Ryan discover a link of their own! The pair must reunite their loved ones and convince them that magic is real as well as the lives they lived before the curse. And it must be done before the next blood moon waxes and makes their new reality permanent.

London 1887 ~ When dubiously acquired American fortunes are exchanged for respectable British titles. Everybody’s doing it!

Raised by a man with no heart, heiress Kate Dellamort swore she’d never marry ~ until she lost her head to Jack Penrowan, a British lord low on funds but full of fun. Now the honeymoon’s over and Jack’s always away at his club, and though Kate’s new relatives are thrilled with her fortune, they find her American self appalling. Then people start dying ~ and an otherwise seemingly intelligent detective from Scotland Yard seems to think Kate’s to blame!

The Gilded Age has a dark side.

When a body turns up on the Penrowan estate, Inspector Gabriel Hart would like nothing better than to arrest Lord Jack. The last time the man killed someone, he got away with it. There’s only one small problem—it seems the murder was ordered by an American-based terrorist organization bent on disrupting the Queen’s Golden Jubilee—a group known to have ties to the father of Jack’s dollar-princess bride.
