Twenty-year-old Madison Lowe knew death would come for her eventually. She just didn't expect it to be at the hands of a vampire serial killer at Club Vudu. After snapping her neck in a panic, forgetting she'd taken his blood after biting him, she's left to transition in an alleyway alone. Except... someone had been there. Someone had called out before she'd been killed. That's why the vamp ran...Awakening in an apartment that isn't hers the next morning, Madison is left confused and disbelieving. After running, the hot bouncer from the club who'd come to her rescue a little too late last night, finds her and convinces her to come back with him to his place so he can help her adjust to her new unlife.Dorian Ward is someone she can trust, she knows that much. She's been drawn to him since the club, lost in his blue-green eyes and electrified by his warm touch. She knows it's reckless, that it could change everything, but she can't resist his offer to take her in his bed. After, she discovers why she's drawn to him, why she needed to make him hers, and why she can't fathom being apart now.Nothing could have prepared her for an undead life, and most certainly not werewolves existing. Being mated to a wolf was the last thing she expected, but everything with Dorian feels right.While her new unlife has excitement, she's still left haunted from what happened that night at Vudu. Unable to let go and needing to get revenge, she took a job at the very club she was murdered at shortly after moving in with her wolf. She expected to find the vamp who took her human life and save other victims. What she didn't see coming, were the deadly secrets within Vudu.

When Crawford is found brutally dismembered and murdered, the evidence points to Mia as the killer. While the prosecutor pushes for a murder indictment, Dr. Rothenberg, convinced of his patient's innocence, turned to an old friend - high profile attorney, Zachary Blake, Detroit's self-proclaimed 'King of Justice'. Blake will do anything for Rothenberg, the man who successfully treated his kids in their battle with a predator priest. Zack takes Mia's case but has his work cut out for him because Mia has been hospitalized, shocked into a catatonic state at the discovery of her husband's mutilated body, unable to assist in her own defence. Sensing he must prove Mia's innocence to avoid an eventual life sentence, Zack enlists the aid of his crack investigator, Micah Love, and Micah's cyber-specialist, Reed Spencer, to dissect and poke holes in the case. But, for this case, Micah is convinced that Zack needs more--he recommends beautiful, sharp, brash, foul-mouthed, cocky-confident New York-based jury consultant extraordinaire Shari Belitz and her team of mock trial/focus group gurus. Shari is the best of the best. Her assignment in the Folger case? Flyspeck the evidence and unleash her arsenal of psychological techniques and predictiveskills - use focus groups or mock juries to determine what evidence or circumstances would cause the real jury to declare Mia Folger innocent of all charges. Zack wants no part of Shari; one cocky lawyer - Zachary Blake - should be sufficient to prove Mia's case. Blake knows what he needs for an acquittal; a brash jury consultant from NYC will only get in his way. But Micah persists and persuades Zack him to give Shari and her team a try. Zack, Micah, Reed, and the irrepressible Ms. Belitz join forces in an all-out attack on the evidence, while evil characters lurk in the background, engaged in a sinister plot to assure Mia's demise. Expect the unexpected in this whodunit legal crime thriller, the 8th installment of the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller Series, featuring all your favorite series characters and one brash, exciting newcomer who gives Blake all he can handle.

Grandma Bekka, Delaney Kullerton's adorable 80-something grandmother, sits in the office of a carefully vetted high-class male escort service, flipping through glossy pages of their explicit, full-color catalog to select the prime candidate to fulfill her granddaughter's lifelong Viking fantasies. At least that's what Delaney assumes when a gorgeous, half-naked man appears on her doorstep, dressed in full Viking regalia, including horned Brunhilda helmet, sword and shield. In broken English, he tells Delaney he's Varik the Bold…and he wants to play. Tired of being a rule-following goody-two-shoes, she considers taking the big blonde muscled hunk of goodness up on his tempting offer. Why shouldn't she? Especially after Delaney's cheating, arrogant, condescending English professor husband blindsides her, leaving her for one of his perky graduate students-on Delaney's Valentine's Day birthday, no less. It's clear her beloved grandmother's estate is following Bekka's instructions, ensuring Delaney won't be alone and grieving on her birthday. Obviously, Varik the Bold is her grandmother's final parting gift. Right? A major misunderstanding, a dog-instigated chocolate disaster, and Odin's magic heartwish ring have Delaney packing her bags and moving across the country from Chicago to a small coastal town in Oregon to escape her mortification. The Viking's Heartwish is book 1 of the Heartwishes series. This full-length contemporary romance novel is full of warmth and humor-with a very special touch of magic. It's inspired by the author's previously published novelette, Caroline's Christmas Viking. While all Heartwishes books are part of a standalone series, you'll enjoy them more if you read them in order. These are small town romances with happily-ever-afters, and no cliffhangers.
