The Few. The Strong. The Brave.
Melodie Alexander, a children’s librarian, prefers to live life
between the pages of a book. But when the death of her best friend
prompts her to step out of her comfort zone, she finds herself
directly in the path of self-proclaimed bad boy, Daniel Bresland.
Daniel knew how to be a solider. Life after war? Not as easy. He
served his country in Afghanistan, both in the military and as a
private contractor, but fighting the war came at high personal cost. Now he's
determined to keep his relationships "casual" in order to protect his
heart and prevent anyone from getting too close.
A chance encounter between Melodie and Daniel on a flight to Dallas
proves that opposites really do attract. But when scars from the past
threaten their new relationship almost before it starts, Daniel must
decide if he can risk opening his heart again to convince Melodie he
wants more than one night.
If you love men in uniform and believe the night belongs to lovers,
then The Heroes of the Night series is perfect for you! Stories of
military heroes, sexy and flawed, and the women they love.

He is Ishmael Dubois and claims to be her Guide through the dangerous world of Monochrome, a physical manifestation of the depressed mind. But in a place where good memories are currency, nightmares walk, and hopeless people are hired to bring down those who still have the will to live, Abigail starts to wonder if she’ll ever make it back to her family.

Z. Z. LAMBERT wasn't born uptight, but someone needed to be the adult. Zee's a "color-inside-the-lines" artist with a hippy mother, a mostly dead grandmother, and a cat named Isabella Rossellini. Add to her life's palette a stunning new life model, Jagger Jones. Is it just her, or does all the air leave the room when he shows up? Good thing he's just passing through. This is no time to fall in love, especially not with her model, no matter how perfectly knee-melty he may be.
Australian JAGGER JONES is a rolling stone. Living with nothing to tie you down takes talent. Posing without your britches is a piece of cake. He's three years into his walkabout with only his dead father's ashes for company.
But Z.Z. Lambert stops him faster than a croc in the mud. Her paintings of him are incredible. She sees past all of his posturing, past the flesh and bone and uncovers his heart. Zee understands the promise he made his father, and comes to love him enough to let him go. But does she love him enough to let him stay? His only other choice is a future without her. And he can't picture that at all.

Blurb for Cave:
As a reporter for the Wakefield Post, Harper Erkstine has seen everything. From murders to robberies, all of her recent stories have ended with tragic consequences so great, that she began to question if she made the right career choice for herself.
While all of her friends were dating, or going to clubs, she was winning journalism awards for covering the latest drive-by shooting or a home invasion that cost someone she knew, their lives.
She loved her job, it was rewarding to be a crime solver and get to the truth of the matter. As much as she loved her job, but the hours of a Metro beat reporter began to descend her into burn out mode.
She craved balance. A break, a welcome distraction every now and then. She forgot what it was like to have fun, to take a breath, smell the roses.
Blurb for Open Mic Night
For Crave's lead guitarist Sean McKinnon, the thought of performing without his famous band during Open Mic Night was something he didn't think he could do. Will a dear friend help him through and become the 'Someday' he's always wanted? or would she be like all the rest?
