Halloween Countdown Day 14--Flame of the Phoenix

Hades’ Carnival, Book 6
Phoenix is afraid—a first for the immortal warrior. Beautiful, forthright Tilly Ledet fires his mind and body. She’s been helping Phoenix and his shape-shifting comrades in their battle against Hades, and now she is in danger and doesn’t think she needs his protection.
When Phoenix shows up insisting she drop everything to go into hiding with him, Tilly balks. Phoenix is gorgeous, courageous, and convincing, and he also does something to her heart… But he’s an immortal shape shifter, and she’s human, not to mention they also have Hades on their trail, so giving in to the heat between them could send them both up in flames.

Halloween Countdown Day 13--Heart of the Serpent
The Hades' Carnival series was intended to be 4 books, but after I wrote Howl of the Wolf I knew I wasn't done. I had to know what happened to the others, so I wrote 3 novellas to finish off the series.
Mordecai has been around since the very first book, but even I wasn't always quite sure where his loyalties lay. He's a very complex and fascinating character.
Heart of the Serpent Hades’ Carnival, Book 5
After being trapped in his animal form for centuries by a curse, freedom is new and almost uncomfortable for shape-shifting warrior Mordecai. He did his time in Hell, and it left a stain on his soul and strained his ties with his fellow warriors.
Jessica enjoyed the easy friendship she had with Mordecai, but he’s grown as distant as the stars lately. Still, it’s impossible to stay away from him, and she’s sure he feels that irresistible pull, too.
Mordecai knows Hades can’t get to him physically, but although he might try to deny it, he knows he has a weak spot. Jessica. Worried that Hades could hurt her to get to him, Mordecai’s tried to keep his distance, but there’s no stopping this kind of connection.

Halloween Countdown Day 12--Howl of the Wolf
When I look back at this series, it might be the most diverse one I've ever written. Each book is truly unique where the shifter hero is a different animal. In turn, the heroines are equally unique. Arand is a wolf who is not about to let anyone hurt the woman who set him free from thousands of years of captivity.
Howl of the Wolf Hades’ Carnival, Book 4
Artist and tarot reader Sabrina can’t resist buying and bringing home the old carousel wolf she finds in an antique shop. She never imagined the wooden animal could come to life in her living room and shift into a dark, sexy man.
Arand is a cursed immortal warrior. He’s trapped until the touch of a particular woman frees him. After that, if he can stay alive for twenty four hours, his soul is safe from the Lord of the Underworld. But Hades will use all of his power to see both the warrior and his woman dead.
The unexplainable attraction between Arand and Sabrina won’t be denied, which means they have their hands full, since they’re also fighting for their lives and souls.

Halloween Countdown Day 11--Pride of the Lion
Leander is a lion shifter who knows what he wants. And what he wants right now is Araminta. While this is a dark paranormal romance there are some fun moments between the couple.
Pride of the Lion
Hades’ Carnival, Book 3
When Araminta Davidson is invited to participate in a readers’ appreciation weekend, she feels like she’s arrived as an author. But what starts out as a fun weekend quickly turns surreal and deadly when she accidentally releases a shape-shifting immortal warrior from a five-thousand-year-old curse.
Finally freed from the carousal he’s been trapped on, Leander denies Hades and vows to beat the second part of the curse and find a way to free his comrades. The woman who released him calls to his animal nature, and he realizes she’s his mate. But is she as innocent as she seems, or was she sent by Hades? The clock is ticking, but not fast enough. If he can stay alive and evade Hades for twenty-four hours, he might be able to figure it out.

Halloween Countdown Day 10--Mark of the Bear
While I love all my heroes, some of them are that little bit extra special, and Marko is definitely one of those.
What happens when a horror movie set is really a carnival run by the Devil's minions?
Mark of the Bear Hades’ Carnival, Book 2
Kellsie Morris knows her career as a Hollywood scream queen won’t last forever. Luckily, she’s just landed a big role in a movie about an immortal, shape-shifting warrior trapped in a carnival run by the Devil’s minions. When the carousel bear on set shifts into a flesh and bone bear of a man, Kellsie starts to question reality.
When Marko is released from the curse that has kept him trapped in his animal form and lays eyes on Kellsie, he knows with every fiber of his being that his purpose is now to protect her no matter what.
But there’s no predicting the Devil’s next move in this game. Hades is determined to get his revenge on the escaped warrior, and going after Marko’s mate is seems like the perfect plan.

Halloween Countdown Day 9--Night of the Tiger
The next 7 days is all about the Hades' Carnival series!
Welcome to Hades’ Carnival, where a group of immortal shapeshifting warriors are imprisoned in their animal forms on a carousel.
Cursed by the very goddess they served—The Lady of the Beasts—in order to keep them out of Hell, now the warriors are being offered a chance at freedom and redemption. And it will take a very special woman to free each warrior.
Once free, they must stay alive for 24 hours if they want to save themselves from Hades once and for all.
Night of the Tiger Hades’ Carnival, Book 1
Five thousand years ago, in order to be saved from the horrors of Hell, shapeshifting warrior Roric was imprisoned in his animal form on a carousel. Only one woman’s touch can release him. After that, all he has to do is stay alive for twenty-hours, and his soul is safe from Hades for all eternity. But is the woman who sets him free a distraction sent by Hades?
When graphic novel illustrator Aimee Horner visits a traveling carnival, she’s drawn to an abandoned carousel and its carved white tiger. One touch of her skin against the massive beast, and Aimee’s world is changed forever.
The ancient curse is broken, and Hades and his demons are out for blood…and Roric’s and Aimee’s souls.

She doesn’t believe in magic or love, until she finds both.
Maggie O’Neill doesn’t believe in magick, but she goes along with her friend’s spell calling for a lover because it seems like harmless fun. She’s left feeling strangely hot and bothered after, and then the dreams start…

Their connection is deep and hot, but Maggie’s reaction to Jed’s secret brings up a wall between them, and Jed wonders what she’s afraid of—magick or following her heart?

Halloween Countdown Day 6--A Touch of Magick
The Spells, Secrets & Seductions trilogy is all about magick and what happens when a spell cast by an inept witch and her two friends doesn't go exactly as they'd planned.

There’s nothing practical about this magick
Rhiannon Sparks isn't a very good witch, so when she slips up during a spell and calls for true love instead of a lover, she doesn't think anything will come of it. But it seems that love has arrived along with Rhiannon's newly unleashed powers, and she'll have to learn how to handle both or risk losing it all.
Deputy Ryland Stone is a realist. He believes only in what he can see and touch. But when he gets his hands on Rhiannon, sparks fly—literally. He can’t explain the instant connection they have, but Rhiannon’s explanation challenges everything he knows to be true.
