What is your passion? When an uncharacteristically rash decision lands law school graduate Melody Grayson in San Francisco's dicey Tenderloin District, she comes face to face with a dangerously tempting man who embodies every mistake she swore she would never repeat. Passionate, sexy, and far more insightful than she'd care to admit, he causes her to question everything she thought she knew about her future. Now she'll have to decide where the bigger risk lies: in the prudent path she has been working tirelessly to pursue, or in the intriguing but uncertain one he's offering. Up-and-coming, Irish-born musician Jamie Callahan is no stranger to chaos; he's lived a lifetime of it.

And while Melody may be the ideal person to help him navigate the gambles he must take, a relationship with her might be his biggest gamble yet. SOUND EFFECTS is a standalone dual POV adult contemporary romance that captures the gloriously unpredictable nature of life, in which the path from who you are, to who you're meant to become may not be a straight one. It may also have a few bumps. Sexy, humor-filled, and relatable, Sound Effects is a story about living passionately, staying true to yourself, and finding that one magic person who makes the journey of self-discovery an adventure worth taking.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave... "I'll plan it out," he said at last. "God forgive me," I sighed. "Us," he corrected me, but it seemed to me there wouldn't be enough forgiveness for the both of us, not for something so wicked. God forgive you, I thought. If you can find Paradise, that'll be enough for me. What a magnanimous soul I was back then. ___ Coleridge Fox has a liar for a lover, a gambling debt he can't pay, and his screenwriting career is D.O.A. He thought the Incubus, a serial killer running hunting in Hollywood's back streets, was the least of his worries, but now he's starting to wonder. Cole fell for the suave Leo Mancini the day they met, but is it ever really possible to trust a liar--especially when Mancini makes a murder suggestion sound like a marriage proposal? Set in 1956 Los Angeles, Incubus is a 108,000 word standalone novel and is intended for mature readers who enjoy the darkness and moral ambiguity of noir stories. It is high heat, twisted, and not for the faint of heart.
