Cameal only wants to feel the touch of a woman’s body against his. He only wants to feel… something, but for the Chief of Thrones—one of heaven’s most powerful Ophanim—any form of earthly desire is against the rules. For thirteen centuries, that rule wasn’t a problem. Then Uriel introduced him to life on earth and that’s when Cam discovered his addiction to women. But his earthly partners never fully sated him and it wasn’t until God delivered his punishment that he fully understood why.
It takes finding the raven-haired beauty the angels on earth call “Mary” to make the Chief of Thrones realize what he truly wants. Now he has to decide what he’s willing to sacrifice to finally feel whole. Will he endure excruciating torture to forget her or will he risk their lives to have her?

Paranormal Romance
READ THE STORY HERE!
In this story, you'll meet, and hopefully fall in love with Jolie and Rayce.
Jolie wakes up in an ally buried somewhere within the French Quarter. She has no idea who she is or why she was there, doesn't know if she's dead or alive. And she thinks the hand of God is reaching down to save her, when it's actually a hunky vampire.
Rayce is more than five centuries old. At some point, he gave up counting. And like all good morose, hunky, dreamy vampires, he's ashamed of his past. If you want to know why, keep reading.
Content gets a little spicy, so be warned.

That wouldn't be a problem, but his ex-wife insists on letting the boy graduate from high school first.

Dr. Miranda Jacobs has always prided herself on being a professional and talented surgeon. Even her hardest case never knocked her off her game and that's why people came from miles away just to see her. But when Chelsea Quinn's case falls into her lap, it hits Miranda in a way nothing had before.
It made no sense. It's just a brain tumor. She's seen a ton during her residency, but this one, it's so different. And if Miranda had to guess, it has more to do with the woman and less to do with her condition.

"Kissing Is Easy..."
EDITIONS: eBook
GENRE: M/M Romance
(Released Jan 2012 from Dreamspinner Press LLC)
It should be just another day for best friends Parker and Toby, not much different than any other day they’ve spent hanging out over the past fifteen years. But it isn’t just another day. Toby thinks Parker is freaking out because his girlfriend broke up with him. He has no idea that Parker is actually losing his shit because he just figured out he has feelings for Toby. At least, he has no idea until Parker kisses him.
Now Toby’s the one flipping out. Terrified of what his family might do if they find out he’s gay, he’s stayed in the closet for years and had no intentions of coming out. Now Toby has to decide what to do: keep Parker as a friend and live his life in fear… or take the plunge, stand up for himself, and take a chance on love.
Excerpt
The memory faded away, but the weird boy was still there, just like he’d always been. I stared into his cool blue eyes, let everything go. I didn’t take another breath or have another thought. Something in my head clicked. Something said go for it, and the moment I’d been stressing over, coercing myself into, had finally arrived.
One, two, three.
My hands clamped around either side of his face and with a ferocity I’d never expected to have, I pulled him toward me.
I had no more than a split second to reconsider what I was doing, to think about the possible repercussions. My eyes yo-yoed back and forth across his face. I took a deep breath and I….
I kissed him.

GENRE: Paranormal Romance
As children, we feared the boogeyman. Our parents comforted us when the monster under the bed or in the dark depths of our slightly opened closet threatened our safety. We cried when those evil creatures invaded our nightmares and stole us from peaceful sleep, but what if those monsters truly existed? What if they lived in a world not unlike our own, where all they wanted was the same basic needs that every human being spends their lives searching for? What if the things that go bump in the night only wanted to be loved?
In these twelve stories, you will read about vampires and werewolves, angels and demons, and monsters of all kinds overcoming some of the most difficult hurdles simply to find their one true love, to find their happiness. You'll read of heated, salacious trysts beneath the moonlight and of lovers doomed before they even have a chance to find the one person who completes their souls.
Join us as we wander through a dark world where nothing is what it seems, where rainbows after a storm are a rare miracle, where the boogeyman captures your heart and fulfils your sweetest dreams.
