Unfortunately, Mira's brought troubles of her own to town, and her skills are proving unreliable. Adding to her misery is her less-than-warm welcome from Ty's family. All too soon she's ready to get the hell out of Boston…but that would mean abandoning more than just her partnership.
Mira and Ty are facing something new, and nothing will be the same after.

The Edisto Island Mysteries, Book 12
What Callie discovers in the middle of a hurricane will put them all at risk.
Ordinarily Chief Callie Morgan would have more than a passing interest in the kidnapping of a young girl from the same Charleston college attended by her son. But with a hurricane bearing down on Edisto Island, she has more than enough on her plate getting everyone she can off the beach—including moronic tourists or "tourons" desperate to get themselves killed for the thrill of riding out a hurricane.
Amidst gale winds and flooding, she'll be the last off the island. Just like always. Or that's the plan. Except this hurricane isn't playing nice. Her tidy exit strategy doesn't survive first contact with the edge of the storm. Before she can evacuate, a life-threatening injury to a loved one forces her to appeal to three reluctant tourists, ex-Army Rangers, for help getting her people off the island. What Callie discovers in the middle of a hurricane will put them all at risk and maybe save the life of a young girl.

New Rome perches upon the shores of the Thamis River, and in its depths a teeming mass of humanity lives under the iron fist of an Empire which never fell to Vandals or Christianity. Under the cover of coalsmoke fog, secret societies bloom—thieves and murderers, lords and bullyboys.
For years Gemma Dove has planned revenge against the man who murdered her parents; so too has Avery Black sworn vengeance against the Priory. Now that their paths have crossed, they might bring down a monster and deal the blasphemers of the Nailed God a stinging blow.
Under soot-stained skies and flickering gaslamps, from the crowded poor-schools and gin-soaked tenements to the glittering whirl of Society, plans, treachery, and counter-betrayal are afoot. If Avery can convince Gemma of his trustworthiness, the duo might stand a chance. But if any suspect who Miss Dove truly is, not even the gods might save her…

Hell’s Acre Series, Book 1
New Rome perches upon the shores of the Thamis River, and in its soot-stained depths a teeming mass of humanity lives under the iron fist of an Empire that never fell to Vandals or Christianity. In the shadows, assassins congregate and secret societies bloom—the Priory, dedicated to worship of the criminal Dead God, and the Hellions, thieves and murderers whose aim is mere freedom.
Or so they say.
Gemma Dove arrives in New Rome with a small independence and a burning desire: to gain revenge upon those who murdered her parents and drove her beloved aunt to a premature death. The city is a dangerous place, but Gemma has her own secret skills and isn't afraid to use them. She longs to complete her vengeance and return to her safe, beautiful estate across the Channel, but fate has other ideas.
His name for now is Avery Black, but they call him the Rook. The young Hellion has sunk himself in vice and treachery, and he knows there's more to Miss Dove than meets the eye. He also knows she's playing a dangerous game, one which will end in her death—unless he takes a hand in matters. It might even be connected to his own vengeance against the Priory, but that's fast becoming a secondary consideration.
Under soot-stained skies and flickering gaslamps, from the crowd of thieves and gin-soaked tenements to the glittering whirl of Society, plans, treachery, and counter-betrayal are afoot. Gemma and Avery can deal the Priory a stinging defeat, but that ancient organization has its own plans for Miss Dove, and the Rook might be her only defense…

Ghost Squad Series, Book 3
They don't call it Sin City for nothing…
Meg Callahan has a great life. There's always work for a wedding planner in Vegas, and even having to babysit her best friend's Army buddy doesn't slow her down. Then, at the end of a normal business lunch, bullets fly, her entire world is shattered, and suddenly she's on the run.
As the Ghost Squad's medic, Tax has seen far too much suffering and death. Plagued by combat stress, he's decided to attend his squadmate's wedding, tuck away any loose ends, then bow out—permanently. His plans didn't include a platinum-haired pixie who needs a helping hand with her business, or the desperate, terrified phone call when she has nowhere else to turn.
Hired killers, crooked cops, organized crime—everyone wants Meg dead. She's determined to solve the mess without endangering anyone further. It's up to Tax to keep the most gorgeous woman he's ever met alive, perhaps in the process finding his own reason to live.
And if anything happens to her, he'll burn Sin City down…

The Summoner’s Mark, Book 6
I'm Becs, and I'm a Summoner.
I can call Powers—fae, demons and the like—to the mortal plane. Does this always go the way I want?
No. No, it does not. It's caused a lot of complications. Just ask anyone who knows me.
Fortunately, I've got a host of friends, a gorgeous boyfriend, a magic shop, and an over-eager magic wand with an itch for dark witches. What I don't have is my dearest friend, Pinky, because the six-foot-tall fairy returned to the Fae Lands after he sacrificed his magic to help capture a dangerous djinn.
I'm battered and bruised but I made a solemn vow—a literal pinky promise—to find a way to restore my friend's magic, and I am determined to do it—even if it means facing the terrifying Queen of All Faerie, Queen Titania herself.
But that's not my only problem. The djinn magic infected the tether between Earth and Faerie. If the bindings's not restored, it could mean the end of both worlds. No pressure.
Every time I think I've got things sorted out, something else happens, and the laws of unintended consequences follow me like a dog looking for a bone.
Speaking of which, King Oberon just dropped off a huge Irish Wolfhound puppy, and I haven't the faintest idea what to feed her. It's going to take more than a little magic to pull this off.

A missing woman.
An unidentified body.
Summer is just getting started...
Police Chief Callie Jean Morgan's hope for a day of nothing but traffic tickets is shattered when one of five women who regularly vacation together on Edisto Island is reported missing. Hours later, a body washes up on the sand—but not the body of the missing young lady.
Unable to identify the dead woman, leaving her with a possible murder on her hands, Callie worries the clock might be ticking down to yet another tragedy. She has no choice but to dig into the secrets of the women's group, who now seem unconcerned about their missing member. Tracking down information on the ladies is like chasing air. Even the older residents of Edisto are unwilling to talk about the well-established, yet evasive group known as "The Summer Ladies."
Edisto is heating up, and so is Callie Jean Morgan.

What do you get for the girl who has everything? A cowboy, of course.
Avery McClain is looking forward to her first Christmas in Montana with her little girl. But as soon as she arrives, she's caught in an unexpected tug of war between two ranchers wanting to buy the land left to her by her favorite uncle. All she wants to do is make the holiday special for daughter. But instead, she's overwhelmed with attempts to pressure her into selling. And she's uncomfortably attracted to one of the men competing for her property.
Judson Ford wants Avery McClain's land to expand his horse breeding operation. He didn't anticipate his attraction to her, or his admiration for her courage. And her little girl is so damn cute! Before he knows it, he's been swept up in her Christmas spirit. Suddenly, Avery and her daughter are filling all the empty spaces in his life.
But then, Avery is offered a job opportunity that would mean she'd have to relocate. And Judson realizes that everything in him is pushing him to ask her to stay and make a life—a family—with him.
Unfortunately, someone else has other ideas.

She's spent years learning to work with the snarky demon housed in her body, and it hasn't always gone smoothly. Nor has her recent partnership with an agent of the Paranatural Task Force.
