     A Witchs Handbook of Kisses and Curses

Nola Leary would have been content to stay in Kilcairy, Ireland, healing villagers at her family’s clinic with a mix of magic and modern medicine. But a series of ill-timed omens and a deathbed promise to her grandmother have sent her on a quest to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to secure her family’s magical potency for the next generation. Her supernatural task? To unearth four artifacts hidden by her grandfather before a rival magical family beats her to it. Complication One: Her grandfather was Mr. Wainwright and the artifacts are lost somewhere in what is now Jane Jameson's book shop. Complication Two: her new neighbor, Jed Trudeau, who keeps turning up half naked at the strangest times, a distraction Nola doesn't need. And teaming up with a real-life Adonis is as dangerous as it sounds, especially when he’s got the face of an angel and the abs of a washboard—can Nola complete her mission before falling completely under his spell?

    I should not, but I love you anyway

     I should not, but I love you anyway

This is a short forbidden love story about a sister and her brother going camping with two friends. Love is in the air, and the siblings know what they are feeling is wrong. But can they resist? Can Hilda do the right thing and put her true feelings for her brother aside?This lighthearted parody is a unique book. Technically science fiction, it is almost an anti-fantasy, which pokes a fair, or perhaps an unfair amount of good-natured fun at the serious tone and dependence on magic common to many epic fantasy adventure genre novels. With its charming and truly likeable characters, witty, intelligent humor, and prose style blending humorous science fiction and epic fantasy elements, The Warden Threat is a delight. It is sure to appeal to readers of these genres who may be looking for something fresh and different.Prince Donald, the idealistic third son of the king of Westgrove, believes he may be the only one able to protect his country from an invasion spearheaded by an ancient and massive magical stone warrior known as the Warden of Mystic Defiance. Donald, unfortunately, is woefully unprepared. His only real understanding of such things comes from his reading of adventure stories. When he finds an ancient scroll he believes may allow him to take control of the mysterious Warden, he eagerly takes on the task. He dreams of saving the kingdom and becoming a hero like those in his epic adventure stories. To his dismay, his quest turns out to be nothing like he imagined. He finds the stories in his library seriously understate the complexities and hardships involved. He also soon realizes that the real world can be much more confusing than fictional ones, and that the hero is not necessarily predestined to save the day.

Filthy. Royal. Gorgeous. Triplets. Temptation’s never tasted so sweet. They’re the hottest, dirtiest fantasy that I never saw coming. Three gorgeous, powerful princes – triplets at that – who share everything. And now they’ve got their eyes on me. It’s called the Triple Crown Club – a place out of whispered secrets and rumor, where the powerful, royal elite come to indulge in the ultimate fantasy: a place where three princes share one lucky girl. …If she dares. Sneaking in here was a mistake. But meeting the King brothers might just be the best mistake I’ve ever made. Three identically gorgeous men, with three wicked tongues, six demanding hands, and three very huge, uh, crown-jewels. I’d ask how a girl’s supposed to choose, but maybe I won’t have to. After all, triplets are exactly the same… …size. *Please note that each of the Triple Crown Club books are completely standalone stories centered around one heroine, with no cliffhangers. Royally Tempted is a modern fairytale involving three totally and completely obsessed alpha heroes, and enough insta-love, kindle-melting steam, and sugary-sweetness to make you swoon. This mfmm romance is all about her – no m/m. If you love over-the-top, slightly unrealistic, and wildly dirty stories, this one’s for you! HEA with NO CHEATING! For a very limited time, this book includes TWO other books of mine as a thank you for reading! Please note that Royally Tempted ends at around the 30% mark in this book.*
