Ceridwen Gault-disaster witch extraordinaire.And right now, an involuntary guest in another dimension.Offering herself as a sacrifice to free her daughter from a kidnapping should have been a no-brainer, and it was. Only now Ceri finds herself trapped in a prison dimension, trapped with a magical asshat who is just as desperate to free himself as she is to be out of there. One problem: he actually deserves to be there. Second? There's a bunch of other people trapped there who don't deserve to be.Ceri doesn't want to free he-who-definitely-should-not-be-her-problem. He thinks she's capable of breaking the magic keeping him there, which should make her feel special but really only makes her feel even more trapped. Now her choice is simple: will she do whatever it takes to save herself and the innocents in this place, or will she choose the greater good by not unleashing an ancient power that could destroy everything she loves in her world?

A bunny bit me on the finger and everything went sideways after that.That's just the beginning of my insane life. The Fascinators, the local ladies' club, suddenly are incredibly interested in having me join their next Bunco night, which is a thinly veiled excuse to drink and gossip. I've been dying to get into that group for years; why now? I'm over forty, my daughter is grown, and all I do is temp work. What's so special about me?After I shift into a dragon, things become clearer. They're not a Bunco group. The Fascinators are a pack of shifters. Yes, shifters. Like werewolves, except in this case, it's weresquirrels and a wereskunk, among others.And my daughter? She wants to move home, suddenly and suspiciously. As excited as I am to have her home, why? She loves being on her own. It's got something to do with a rough pack of predators, shifters who want to watch the world burn. I hope she's not mixed up with the wrong crowd.There's also a mysterious mountain man hanging around out of the blue. Where was he before the strange bunny bite? Nowhere near me, that's for sure.Life is anything but boring. At this point, I'm just hoping that I'll survive it all with my tail-literally-intact.

If you wish you knew what people thought of you, to be frank, you're a fool.I burned a lot of bridges when I fell from fame. Not only did I embarrass myself in front of the world, but my tell-all book ruined any chance I had to fix things. And why? All because of a cheating husband and a best friend who betrayed me.It wasn't worth it. But some things happen for a reason because without my fall from fame, I never would have met Nicky. He loves me for me, and our simple life is pretty close to perfect.When I receive a letter, a chance to step back into Hollywood, to open doors I thought were closed, and possibly regain some of my wealth and fame, I should run the other way.Unfortunately for me, I'm not that smart. I thought I could fix my old reputation. I thought I could show everyone I'd changed.I was a fool. The moment I put on a beautiful necklace straight from a pirate's treasure, I can hear the terrible thoughts from everyone around me. I might just crack. Again. Once upon a time I started over, can I really do it again? Or will my greed end to the worst loss of all, that of the man I love?

Time stops for no man, but with a little luck and a little onyx, it'll stop for a woman.Dr. Ember Thorn doesn't have time to drop everything to take a worthless piece of onyx back to some random Caribbean island because her mother broke a hip and can't do it herself. It can wait.So, it waits. And waits. It waits until Ember's life goes a bit wonky. She loses her boyfriend, her job, and her house ends up full of raw sewage.Well, okay, then. No reason not to go reset in the Caribbean. She hops the next plane out and ends up seated beside the man who made sure she lost her job.He had some justification. Ember was the one who sent his very much alive father to the morgue. Don't freak out. It's not like it was intentional, and the man didn't even end up being refrigerated. It was a simple mistake and nobody was injured. Not physically… the not-dead guy may need some therapy.On island time, things aren't looking up. The airline lost her luggage, then when she gets to the island, she's thrown from the boat by an over-zealous driver-and her pig.Just as she's about to drink herself into oblivion, she spots Delilah Bradbury, actress, icon, and movie director. Ember strikes up a conversation-she's Delilah's biggest fan, Oh Em Gee!-and her luck finally changes. By some island miracle, Ember ends up with the lead role in the upcoming movie about a pirate, a witch, and a trio of magical jewels.It's not that easy. Things are never that easy. Nothing is what it seems on Pararey Island. Thanks to Renegade Remington and the love of his life, Ariyah, who are dying-not literally, they're already dead-to tell their story, maybe true love will prevail for all of them.

I just need a break and a little pick-me-up. An afternoon getting lost in the local market should do the trick.That's when a pirate's loss becomes my gain.
