He lost everything he should have protected.  Jeannie’s luck is worse than the Rex Sox after the Bambino’s curse. Ismail’s thawing heart moves him to bend the rules of Djinn magic for her.

The Unrepentant:

You help wipe out the crime lords of a city, and suddenly those in power want you dead or gone. The city’s council just needs to figure out how to get him to leave. His axe finished, Skharr needed to deal with getting the prized relic to the DeathEater clan. He decided to exchange a favor, for a favor. The timing couldn’t be better. No gods to deal with, Skharr has to undertake safely moving a young dwarf back to his family’s clan. Of course, the young dwarf has a chip on his shoulder and an attitude Skharr recognizes from his own past. At least Skharr doesn’t have a goddess warning him about potential death. That is the dwarf’s problem. The young thief should have been more careful who he prayed to. Hopefully, the two of them can make it to the end without causing too many problems, or dying. If not? Well, don’t expect any apologies from this barbarian.

One Night to Kill:

The Red Countess, the lady Valentina Winters. If you see her, it’s likely to be the last vision in your life. Valentina has a problem. An assassin competitor shows up unannounced and unappreciated. Never a good situation to find oneself in. The Conclave members are infighting and providing her additional jobs. Now, if those jobs weren’t in conflict, life might have been a touch easier to handle. With an assassin on her tail, two powerfully rich competitors vying for her services and worries about her missing sibling, she is determined to make it all work out in the end. Or several people are going to die.

Blood Trade:

A crime against all – stealing one’s life blood. It prolongs life! It gives strength and power. Such exotic luxuries come at a high price. Those who have been drained? “Donors” but not quite volunteers. That’s why they’re kidnapped, never to be heard from again.  Taken from their families and removed from existence. Who would do such a thing? Do the ones paying for this blood know where it comes from? Which crime is greatest? The Magistrate is called in to end the nightmare, but she can’t do it alone.

Old Dogma New Tricks:

Working out sucks!  Especially when your girlfriend is like the next Jillian Michaels.  It doesn’t help that Layla is a princess. Of like, elves. So beautiful, powerful and regal. I am preparing to fight like the fate of the world might depend on… me. My girlfriend has disappeared back to her world. Elven legions might attack Earth, there’s been a coup attempt and rumors of dead elves coming back to life. But something doesn’t feel right about all of this… Between surprise wedgies, the folks at my church upset at me, and my talking-cat’s Animal Planet addiction… It’s like my whole life is in disarray.  How can I be expected to save anyone, much less the world?

Dragon My Heart Around:

What’s luck got to do with it? Dragon shifter Blaine Harcourt is bewildered when he catches a woman robbing his parents’ Newport Mansion. It gets worse when they leave him in charge of her punishment. His stepdad says it’s time to prove he’s worthy of his future inheritance. His mother blames him for the whole thing. Blaine’s so angry he can’t even. Kimiko Ichiro only wanted to replace what she had stolen from her father. It wasn’t her fault that the only luck charms powerful enough to stop his rapid aging were in the Harcourt hoard. Robbing powerful dragon shifters seemed like the only way. Besides, thievery was no big deal to Tanuki. Blaine was used to dealing with books and artifacts, not brilliant, dishonest women. Is Kimiko just using her feminine wiles to hoodwink him, or is something else at play here? And how did she get into the Harcourt’s magically sealed vault in the first place? Could Blaine’s part in foiling an evil Magus be the reason for his bad luck, and can Kimiko help him turn it around?

Unsuspecting Trouble:

Dragon Souled:

When secrets come to light. On the run and looking for the invisible, Aella and her dragon are fugitives once more. With nothing but a glowing orb to guide them and the few friends they have left in the world, they embark on the road trip of a lifetime. But is the Sanctuary everything she was promised it would be? The agency don’t want to give up or admit defeat, and Aella and Zephyr have beaten them twice now.
