The Witch…

Nine years ago, I killed my brother, and I’ve been running from my past ever since.

I find a home in Darkwood, finally safe from those who hunt me. But no matter what I do, the darkness keeps pulling me in.
I allow my shadow magic to edge closer to the surface to feel something, anything. But no matter how much I want to embrace the power, I can’t. My magic thirsts for violence but I won’t let it kill again. It remains dormant... until he shows up.
A masked man watches me from the mirrors, stalking my dreams.
He haunts me, unraveling my thoughts until I’m not sure what to believe. I move closer to the edge and I’m afraid of what I’ll become if I let him in.

I can’t lose control. If I do, then I’m already dead.

The Demon…

I’ve spent a century trapped in the Shadow Realm, a purgatory created for me and my demons.

I watch the humans through mirrors, waiting for the moment I can find a way to leave and return to my domain. But I never found a way. Until now.
She’s everything I’ve been waiting for. The last descendant of the only bloodline that can free me.
I stalk her from the shadows, watching her every move. Her dark magic calls to me, craving for me to unleash it.
The closer she draws to the shadows, the more she’s within my grasp. Obsession takes over, pulling me into her world.
If she won’t unleash her power, then I will make her.

Corrupting a soul has never felt so good.

Paradise Taken

Starting over was never easy for anyone. I'd heard the stories over and over. But after the hell my ex-husband had put me through over the last year, over the last twenty years…well, I was ready to move on, repair what was left of my shattered heart and find someone to share my life with—someone who would put me first. I deserved it. I'd done my time being in her shadow, being a cheap understudy, always second. For. All. Those. Years. Never again. Our move to San Diego provided a fresh start, a new place away from all the hurt and memories. Life as a single mom to three teenagers had its' challenges, but we were adjusting and my kids were doing well. It was time to focus on my happiness, for once. I had a huge capacity to love and I wanted to share my love with a man that respected it, accepted it and gave it in return. It was just a matter of time before he found me and showed me what true, honest love was all about.

Honest Love

Jason I was a fool... - for letting Lori Ann convince me that we were wrong for each other. - for watching her walk away from me fifteen years ago and not stopping her. - for not realizing she was in trouble. - for thinking her nightmare, our nightmare was over. I was a fool for letting my guard down. And now, I'd do just about anything to keep her safe, including the most reckless, foolish thing a man - a cop, in fact - could do. ___________________________________ Lori Ann Jason saved me, only to nearly lose me forever. We'd been fools to think Antonio wouldn't come after me. I was still his wife, after all. He'd hurt me, broken my arm and left me in pieces, but he wasn't finished. He'd fooled me for years, made me believe he was a great man. Now that I knew the truth, I was going to fight like hell to save myself and Jason, to save the love we'd finally confessed. I prayed that what I was about to do would be enough. I was done being someone's fool.

Life of a Fool

A Novel Based on True Events

Boring, but completely gorgeous. That was my first impression of him. My next two thoughts were 'pompous ass' and 'cocky jerk.' And, I had the glorious pleasure of sharing a table with him for the entire night. He didn't speak, didn't grunt....he just nodded and stared. If I weren't taking my bosses place at this dinner, I'd have found another place to sit and escape Rylan Daniels. 'Absolutely beautiful' was what I thought when I found her at my table at the Ad Execs quarterly dinner. She wore a black strapless dress and exuded confidence from every part of her. I nodded to her, but didn't speak. I really didn't have much to say anyway. I couldn't quit staring and had to excuse myself at one point to stand across the room and watch her. It was a strange, unwelcome feeling I was having about this stunning woman. It had been five years....five years since Kristen.....and I still couldn't move on. That kind of hurt you just don't get over so easily and I wasn't even sure that I wanted to get over it. But, here I was, completely intrigued and unable to stop thinking about Jen Bailey.
