    He eventually finds himself in the heart of southeast Asia and is quickly drawn into the underground Muay Thai boxing rings in Bangkok, Thailand. There, while trying to find out who and what he's really made of, Sal is introduced to a very new and very real kind of evil. With his superhuman abilities, he has been rising fast as a potential new champion, but when he meets a young girl who was forced as a child into sexual slavery he decides that it's up to him to save her. Under the pretense of accepting her as a gift, he begins trying to find the innocent child she still has buried deep inside. She responds slowly, but finally comes to love him as a father-figure and is thrilled when he makes efforts to purchase her from the pimp that owns her.

    Moving into her own place was the start to self-sufficiency after a horrible split with him. His controlling ways trumped her confidence, and caused her to reject love in any form when expressed by a man. However, a fated encounter with a handsome stranger quickly changes her outlook and causes her hurdles to dwindle in size. Still, reservations and fear aided by Homicide’s existence lingers much longer than Koko would care to admit. Once the wifey of a plug, always the wifey of a plug, and Homicide is the street king of Dallas. Like a knight in shining armor, Mekhi rescues Koko, setting her heart on fire and putting her love in the air. Hustler turned business owner, Mekhi is a self-proclaimed boss, who’s put his street ways behind him. He could have any woman he wants, that is until KoKo walks into his life. She’s the complicated beauty with a lot of extra baggage, who is hell bent on giving him a run for his money. He’s got his work cut out with her but at what cost? How far is he willing to go to steal the dope man’s girl? Or will he get anywhere at all? Mesha, Koko’s well cared for and materialistic bestie, is at her wits end with the secrecy and denial of the relationship that she shares with her play brother, Nas. While Nas doesn’t want to ruin the bond they’ve created over the years, Mesha is searching for more. She finds it within Dutch, a new crewmember of the same organization that Nas is a part of, Cokeboyz. Against Mesha’s better judgment, she pursues a relationship that was tainted from the start, and places both herself and Nas in the line of fire. Between the pages of this fast-paced, grimy, yet, beautiful tale of hatred, love, and forgiveness, this Dallas crew appears to be bound for destruction. Gather your bearings as the chain of spiraling events causes you to wonder who you’re riding for, and if they’ll make it to see the light of day.

    Lots of suspense, mystery, and romance. No cliffhangers! Book 1: When private investigator Oliver Covington meets mysterious, beautiful Nora Thomason at a party, they have an instant, undeniable connection. Though they part without getting each other’s names, neither one of them can stop thinking about what happened between them. Little does Oliver know that his next job will involve solving the puzzle that will unlock Nora’s painful, dark past. He is assigned the task of following her by her fiancé, and when she is attacked in an alley one day, Nora becomes curious of Oliver’s real identity and does some investigating herself. She flees when she finds out that he is an investigator, afraid that he has been sent to find her by the people who are after her from her past. Oliver follows, and together he and Nora are forced to face the man who is trying to destroy her life while they fight their growing attraction for each other. Book 2: Charlotte Covington doesn’t know exactly what to expect when she is hired by handsome artist Sam Kensington to investigate the murder of his socialite father, Roger. She is hesitant to take the job—Sam is much too charming for her, something that she knows is a dangerous trait in a man. She is drawn in by him and the undercover nature of the job, and poses as his fiancé for a week at an exclusive artists’ retreat in the countryside. Things grow heated between Charlotte and Sam as they investigate the death of his father, though she tries her best to resist his charms. When a tragedy strikes at the retreat, Sam’s innocence is thrown into question, and Charlotte is forced to confront her feelings for him despite the danger he might pose to her. Book 3: Aiden Covington enjoys a challenge, so when he is given the challenging case of tracking down the necklace of a former Hollywood starlet, Olivia Darling, he is more than willing to take on what he’s told will be a hard case to solve. What he isn’t willing to do is fall for Olivia, though from the moment he meets her he feels himself unraveling under her charms. Aiden tries his best to fight the simmering tension between himself and Olivia, especially when he finds out that she’s not exactly the person he thought she was. While Aiden and Olivia unwrap the mystery of a dangerous secret society known as the Celestials, Aiden tries to keep his distance from Olivia, who finds it hard to take no for an answer when it comes to the sexy private detective.

     The year is 1802 and the Treaty of Amiens heralds a fragile peace in the war with France. While Britain’s fighting ships languish in ordinary, sailors litter the alleyways of Portsmouth, while half-pay officers struggle to survive as best they can. From a beach, near his home on the Isle of Wight, Captain Oliver Quintrell observes a fleet of merchant ships preparing to sail. He is unaware he will soon have command of His Majesty’s frigate ELUSIVE which will sail from Spithead with them. Entrusted with secret Admiralty orders, he heads south, but once the ship enters the freezing waters of the Southern Ocean, a series of devastating events occur and threaten to jeopardise his mission. For Captain Quintrell, the mumblings of a near mutinous crew, sabotage, murder most foul, and the dangers held within a simmering volcanic island, pose as much of a threat as a broadside from a French man-of-war. Will the captain succeed in his mission? Will he retrieve the ‘prize’ he was sent to search for? Will he, and his ship, return safely to England? FLOATING GOLD is the first book in this maritime fiction series which features Captain Quintrell and his crew. The sequel, THE TAINTED PRIZE, will be published in September, 2012.

Good ending. Very touching story. I had never read this author's books before but I am hooked now. She has a way of making the characters seem real and have a lot of heart. Even those that aren't alive anymore!” Reviewer Montzalee Wittmann “This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish.” Reviewer Laura Collins “I absolutely LOVED this book. This book is not only a murder mystery but is funny, quirky and heart warming all in one. It really did keep me on the edge of my seat but not in a nail biting chilling way and all the characters are wonderfully written in such a fun loving way. I highly recommend this book to any fellow cozy murder mystery lover... you won't be disappointed.” Reviewer Michelle Reader reviews of DATE WITH A GHOST: “I love this story. It has such a melancholy air from the beginning... The story unravels slowly, a clue here and there, while keeping your interest all the time and getting you engaged in Samantha's wellbeing. And doesn't matter what you think you know, at the end you'll be surprised for the final twist of the story. A very unusual cozy, but one I truly enjoyed.” - Reviewer Clau “Great story with likable and loathsome characters alike. Kept me guessing!” Reviewer Amanda Reader reviews of DANCING WITH A GHOST: “The foreboding atmosphere that is present from the first line of the story keeps you enthralled to the story. Nothing is what it seems, and Katie acts as an unreliable narrator as we never are sure about what's going on with her... the circumstances around the actual murder? That got me totally by surprise.” - Reviewer Clau
