Susan  Rowland
“We have magic you do not dream of.” That was Janet, although Mary could not see the diminutive witch.”
Susan Rowland, The Swan Lake Murders

Susan Saxx
“In a quick moment, Cole was in front of her. Simply there. He leaned in, their breath mingling. His warm lips touched hers lightly, and he kissed her. 


His scent was that of the pine forest, the air and the land around them, and it dazzled her. His strength, his determination to treat her exactly the way she wanted to be treated, ever-changing as it was—dazzled her more.”
Susan Saxx, A Real Man: The First Miracle
