Introducing the Enchantment Series, Books One and Two
Laugh a little, cry a little, love a lot...
Visions of Enchantment is a wonderfully exciting, and sometimes adventurous, romantic time-travel. The story of two people that time couldn't separate. Uriah, the handsome hero who came through the confines of time to wait for her. Eryn, the beautiful, sometimes confused heroine who didn't even know he existed. It was the fateful foggy night that led her back to him. Back to the town she didn't remember. Back to a time and a man she had only seen in visions-- visions of enchantment...
"You don't remember me, do you..."
Enchantment's Embrace, the continuing story of Eryn and Uriah. See what happens a year after they met. Come back to the beautiful Victorian town of Enchantment. Return with them to the log cabin in the Allegheny Mountains. Watch as the Portal once again becomes a threat to their happiness...
"You know the book said to forget about the Portal..."
Best Book Cover Art Award Winner, March 2008

About
SHOWCASE WINDOW
Agent Bobbie Leighton unwillingly partners in an undercover operation with inactive Detective Joe Sullivan. Suspected of human trafficking, their target may be connected with Jimmy Sullivan’s murder. Posing as a married couple can Bobbie and Joe adhere to their professional code of conduct, forget their personal history and ensnare their target when they might be next on his victims list?
One woman. One man. One dog. And one deceased, but not-quite-departed matchmaking grandmother.
Carrie Moore inherits all her grandmother’s possessions including Ellie, a hell-hound no one knew about.
It’s not enough Ellie leaves destruction in her wake. She also runs to Jack Radigan, the high school love Carrie had once expected to marry. Until he’d married her best friend, instead…
PROCEEDS DONATED TO: IT'S MEOW OR NEVER an Animal Rescue and Sanctuary.
Authographed Copy
Defying family and social pressure, Nettie Brady bucks 1920s convention with her dream of becoming a rodeo star. Based on the life of the author’s grandmother, a real Montana cowgirl.
Cowgirl Dreams is suitable for both adult and young adult readers.
A story about passion, romance, surprise, and friendships. Individual paths cross, forming relationships between people under the most unlikely circumstances. Interior designer, Morgan Whitley is confident, classy, and happy with the life she has made for herself. But a trip to London will bring with it an unexpected encounter that ends up changing her life forever.
HEART OF STONE, a story of love and betrayal. Amber, alone and pregnant, is haunted by painful memories of a violent act. She will never trust a man again. Until the hunky cowboy, Stone, enters her life. Can she trust him? And can Stone forget past humiliation long enough to break through the protective wall around his heart to allow her in?
Who said it would be easy for Tatum to leave her over-protective father, buy a 1911 bungalow, and start her own business at the same time? When things fall apart, literally, she hires a hunky home restoration specialist named Ryan to come to her rescue. She didn’t know he would come with his own protection manual.
Dreams often reflect deepest desires…even if they’re nightmares. When cruelly captured, a powerful soul helps a vampire create his languid fantasy. Eternal devotion to two important people forces this creature to dream, to see himself with honest eyes. Imagination runs wild, yet Michael Malone still desires death. Why should he survive? Two reasons… One is revenge. The other is love.
Steamy Cozumel …Kick-ass Adie Sturm is caught up in a web of murder and betrayal. Two men—creamy-rich and sinfully delicious are rivals for her love. Mayan ruins and danger. Will that night of ecstasy be hers or will the murderer find her first?
In revenge for their defeat by the Sarran Warriors the Zyptz unleashed a virus killing all fems. Their civilization ended. After searching the Galaxy for a genetic match, they found hope. They heard them from Space, the fems linked, but the Zyptz were there first. Would the Sarrans watch their mates die a second time?
AVAILABLE NOW
Three Men…Three different reasons to return to Wayback, Texas. One is looking for justice, one is looking for a second chance, and one is looking for money. What they find is three women…three reasons to risk their hearts to change their lives.
