Romance

Sometimes a man is forced to exercise self control. When all other options fail, he's compelled to find a woman who is ready to ride.   There’s something special about Victoria McCoy, and Jonathan Woodwine knows it. She’s on his ranch to tame a stallion, but after he sees the woman ride, he wants her for his own. What man wouldn’t? She’s as wild as the beast underneath her, and proves it when she breaks the horse in record time. Now Jonathan must find a way to keep her close, because after his eyes have already done the unimaginable to her, he sees little reason to leave his body out.

Sometimes secrets surface and when they do, they bring out all sort of ugly characters.   Preston Evans is a man facing hard time with forgiveness. The trouble is, he craves Carly in ways a man shouldn't have to want a woman and he needs her in a manner some deem unlawful. Preston’s pride is killing him, but the problem is, he isn't going to do anything about it. He can't. He just cannot get past the fact that the woman he vowed to love and protect destroyed everything in a blink of an eye with distorted truths he doesn't understand. Soon, another man forces his hand and because Carly is interested in Robert Barkley, Preston may have some difficult decisions to make. Carly has moved on with her life. Preston told her to get out and never come back so she did. But when the town whore pays her a visit, things change. Carly entertains the idea of Preston again, but when the weather takes a turn for the worse, it isn't Preston who saves her. It's a young man with a focused agenda. Robert Barkley is a young cowboy weathering the worst of winters in order to save a woman. When he takes Carly to the town saloon, the pain she revisits brings her back to the reality she now faces. She cannot change the past, but her future isn't going to be determined by a man she loved and lost or the one waiting nearby to save her.

He wanted to love her, but instead he let her go. She wanted to honor him, but instead she made it nearly impossible for him to find his way home.   Preston left Carly when she needed him most. For over a year, she's been alone. With a farm to manage and no money for expenses, she turns to a woman's profession and conducts business from her prairie home. There's a reason for it. Her doors are open to the strange desires of familiar men. When Carly discovers Preston is coming home, she hears the news from one of her customers. He tells her Preston is bringing a woman to Stockton, but a woman isn't the only thing Preston brings home. Will Preston and Carly finally find their way back to one another or will the past continue to keep them apart? Find out in this explosive third book of the Branded trilogy.

He wanted to brand her for a lifetime and proudly gave her his name, but his name was tainted with her family's blood.   After her family dies at the hands of monsters, Carly doesn’t have time to think about a man. Hell, she practically acts like one so why does she need one to get in her way? She rides better than most, can fire a gun quicker and proves again and again she can manage fine on her own. That is, until Preston Evans steals her heart. Never mind what he does to her willing little body. Preston’s lust for a woman never stands in his way. He always has his way with women so his ridiculous need for one can easily be satisfied with the body of another. Until the day he thinks he’s lost the only woman he’s ever truly cared about. After he watches outlaws damn near rape his woman of a sensible existence, he vows to claim her as his own. But just because he promises forever, doesn’t necessarily mean he can follow through and if he does, there will be a lot to overcome…and forgive.

Members of Jason Lory's original pride coalition warned of the shifter-mates remaining--some were thought to be man-eaters.

Refusing to let her life be ruled by the dark passions inherited from her druid sire, Mariah has taken her place in the ranks of the enforcers as one of their most talented of the World Walkers. Accompanied by the morph-cat, Ghost, she travels the chain of worlds helping them keep the evil ones at bay. But Mariah has been betrayed. Her one non-witch friend has employed his AI and the information he has gained from her about some of the most exotic worlds to create a computer game called ‘Beyond the Void’. When something goes terribly wrong with the game and people begin disappearing from his lab, Shawn contacts Mariah for help. The missing tech is soon discovered. Lost on one of the more brutal worlds that Mariah has inadvertently introduced Shawn to, she has suffered a horrible, violent death. With the very real death of the tech and physical injury to Shawn, it is obvious that what is happening in the game is happening in the real world as well. Shawn believes this phenomenon is being caused by the ghostly entity he encountered during a previous trip into the game. Somehow, the entity has embedded itself within the game program. The ghost of the evil druid haunting Shawn’s game program quickly gains control of both Shawn and the AI and begins a campaign of terror along the Chain – and with each death of an innocent he gains more power. Now Mariah and her companions must find a way to stop him – even if it means the death of everyone she knows and loves.
