Running through a strange forest with a bloodthirsty demon hot on her heels wasn’t Taylor’s idea of a rockin’ evening. Then again, neither was soaring backward through time and space. Time travel chafed and left a rank, nasty aftertaste. So, when she finds herself floundering amidst a sea of Commandment-loving holy rollers who fling accusations of witchcraft and bedevilment like hotcakes in a diner, finding her way home jumps to the top of her to do list. Too bad she can’t remember who she is or where she came from. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Taylor has to fall for the mysterious Latin warlock living on the edge of Salem Village and who comes to her rescue, Gabriel Castillo. Battling an identity crisis and lost in a time that’s not her own, Taylor is determined to find her way back to twenty-first century Hanaford Park. But first, she and Gabriel must work together to uncover the dark scourge lurking in Salem’s shadows, and in doing so, save their own lives, and the lives of countless innocents from a lethal date with the hangman’s noose.

Enjoy this excerpt:
I was starting to hate the woman from my dreams, this Josephine. I didn’t want to be a wolf, lead a damn pack, or lose Sam. I thought of my father and Dr. Conley’s research findings. It all made sense now. My dad did it all to protect me. Did he have to endure the torment in his dreams like I’ve had to?
“Can we stop her?” I asked, not recognizing my own voice.
“Death is the only way she can be stopped. That won’t happen easily, she’s been Alpha for a long, long time. Another Alpha can take her place, but she won’t be stopped easily. She’s very strong. I just don’t see that happening until she has lived her natural life.”
How much pain has she caused this pack? The defeat in Alejandro’s voice left me looking deeper into his soul. At this point, I wished I could read his mind, dig into his memories to see his past.
“Aw.” The pain started again, this time the bones in my feet starting to shift.
“Breathe, Amigo. The Full Moon is close. Pain will come more frequently. We must move deeper into the woods.”
Sam tried helping me get up, struggling to pull me through the pain. Alejandro stepped in and flung me over his shoulder. “You must stay here, girl. It’s too dangerous for you.”
“I’m not leaving him.”
“You must, Señora. It’s for your own safety.”
Moving quickly, I didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye to Sam, not even knowing if I’d ever see her again. Writhing in pain, the trees flashed by as Alejandro carried me deeper and deeper into the woods, moving through brush like it wasn’t even there, following paths I had no idea existed. The pain overtook my mind and I felt myself slip into unconsciousness, a fog covering my brain.

Deep in the shadows of Boston, Massachusetts, the Order—a secret brotherhood of New Breed warriors—is all that stands between a takeover by shifter supremacists.
Diesel, the most charismatic of the brothers, exudes a love for life all the while carrying a terrible burden. A veteran of the Iraq War, he is haunted by the traumatic events of a single night. Poisoned by shame and certain he is cursed, Diesel fears he is a danger to everyone around him.
Helen, the Order’s stunning and gifted surgeon, has a few demons of her own. Even as she and Diesel give in to the deepest pleasures of the mating call, something still holds her back.

She is an accomplished teacher who has spent the last fifteen years creating Spanish language programs for elementary schools and traveling extensively.
