In a dark and snowy northern winter, a wounded crusader warrior and a beautiful, innocent witch join forces to rescue missing brides from a dangerous, nameless stalker. Dare Sir Magnus and Elfrida also fall in love? Winter passion yields to summer heat in “A Summer Bewitchment,” the second novel, where secrets threaten to destroy their happiness. Can they survive?

Inheriting a mansion from a distant relative sounds like the sort of thing that happens to other people.
Preferably people with an impressive collection of evening gowns and absolutely no financial worries.
Michelle Scott has neither.
What she does have is a career in investigative journalism, a healthy dose of skepticism, and a newly inherited estate in a remote Oregon town called Crow's Ridge. All she needs to do is inspect the property, decide whether she wants it, and return to Seattle.
Simple enough. In theory.
Unfortunately, the road to the mansion is blocked by fallen trees, the caretaker seems to regard visitors as an occupational hazard, and the lawyer who arranged the inheritance has mysteriously disappeared.
Michelle begins to suspect that the Donovan Estate comes with rather more complications than property taxes and a leaking roof.
Fortunately, the town offers a few pleasant distractions. There's a welcoming bed-and-breakfast, a café that understands the importance of good coffee, and Jake Cooper, a local land supervisor who proves considerably more helpful than the caretaker. He's also attractive, which Michelle considers an unnecessary complication under the circumstances.
But the deeper Michelle digs into the Donovan family's history, the more questions she uncovers. The official story seems straightforward enough, but certain details refuse to add up. And the more she learns, the harder it becomes to believe that the strange circumstances surrounding her inheritance are merely a coincidence.
Whatever happened at the Donovan Estate more than a century ago, someone is determined to keep it buried.
Unfortunately for that someone, telling an investigative journalist to mind her own business is rarely an effective strategy.
Set in a remote Oregon town, Crow's Ridge is a cozy-leaning small-town mystery about an unexpected inheritance, a century-old family secret, and an investigative journalist who refuses to leave unanswered questions alone. Combining an intriguing historical mystery with contemporary suspense, quirky small-town encounters, dry humor, and a romantic subplot, it's a story for readers who enjoy unraveling family secrets without sacrificing warmth or a satisfying ending.

Twenty years ago, Daisy Zurkowski escaped the man who abducted her with her faith intact and a vow that she never abandoned: someday, she would find him and stop him for good. She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and became a sharpshooter capable of facing the past instead of hiding from it. But every October, another teenage girl disappears from a national park, and Daisy has always been one step behind.
Until now.
A new lead finally puts her ahead of the next abduction, giving Daisy the chance she has spent half her life waiting for. This time, she has backup.
CIA agent Angel Conway has only recently uncovered Daisy’s case, but helping her pursue the truth quickly becomes personal. Their history already makes working together complicated, and the closer they get to the answers Daisy has spent years seeking, the harder it becomes to ignore the possibility that God may be giving them a second chance at something they both chose to walk away from.
Daisy has never doubted that God carried her out of the darkness twenty years ago. But finding the man responsible will force her to confront what she has truly been seeking all these years. Is it justice, vengeance, or finally the freedom to let the past stop defining her future?
Angel is willing to risk everything to help her find the closure she deserves, but as the truth begins to surface, they discover Daisy’s abduction was only one piece of something far more sinister than either of them imagined.
With another girl’s life at stake and twenty years of unanswered questions finally leading to the truth, Daisy and Angel will need every skill they possess, the faith that has sustained them, and the courage to embrace the second chance waiting on the other side.
Michael is an 18 year old talented martial artist. After his best friend dies in a tragic accident, he is sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for involuntary manslaughter. Harsh lessons that come with prison life force him to set aside his otherwise well-meaning nature to adapt and survive.
After his release, he reunites with a fellow inmate Ijal who has befriended him. Now an adult, fast-tracking himself to independence and a meaningful course in life quickly becomes more challenging than he had imagined. While reconnecting with his father and martial arts instructor inspire him to pursue a path he once called his own, he also becomes entangled in Ijal's affairs, whose past catches up with him.
Moral dilemmas find their way into complicating his course of action and his sense of himself.
Once again, tragedy unfolds. Being pulled back into a world of violence, everything is put into question: his values, his identity, what he is capable of, and how far he is willing to go to break the cycle he has found himself entangled in.
I’m a high-end escort—because I like it. Successful men pay for the privilege of having me. They wait, they chase, they fall. I seduce them, enjoy them, and move on richer, happier, and completely in control.
Then I met Him.
He was supposed to be another client. Instead, he became the first man who made me wonder whether I could keep my heart out of the arrangement.
Come with me. You’re going to enjoy this.
A POST-APOCALYPTIC EARTH
Humans have devolved to the brink of extinction.
One robot alien and his robot bird must monitor humanity’s survival.
Their mission is impossible - Make sure the humans don’t commit suicide again.
Scot looks human - Billy is a traitor.
Together, they roam a decidedly low-tech world.
Centuries pass, Scot endures, and the mission flounders.
Can humanity survive a second collapse? Can Scot?
Martin County Sheriff Detective Marcus Brubaker, worn down by fatigue and personal grief, is jolted awake by his ringing phone. Outside his condo, blue-white lightning flashes across the midnight sky, followed by thunder that shakes Fairmont, Minnesota, to its core. Brubaker drives into the atmospheric hell to investigate a brutal hit-and-run murder that leaves the victim’s face unrecognizable. Local obstetrician Bradley Ferguson was hit and dragged while changing a flat tire on his Jeep Wrangler in a deluge of rain. His lifeless body lies in the muddy water covering a rural Martin County highway. Brubaker recognized the Jeep’s vanity license plate, DRSTORK. A streak of green paint on a lug wrench leads to the murder weapon, a 1955 Studebaker truck found nearby. Evidence points toward Trevor Jacobi as the culprit behind the steering wheel of the death mobile. He is missing with a four-hour head start. A second victim, Jacobi’s elderly father, Earl Jacobi, is found dead in the truck registered in his name. Brubaker now has two murder inquiries. His probes uncover layered family dynamics, revealing abuse and estrangement. Leadership conflicts within the Sheriff’s Department hinder progress. The chase for Jacobi extends from Minnesota to Florida, revealing his aggressive tendencies and criminal schemes, including money laundering, illegal immigrant shakedowns, and offshore drug trafficking, plus a missing million dollars linked to Jacobi’s Cuban-American boss. Brubaker and Tampa police clash over jurisdictional authority once Jacobi is captured. The case deepens with the suspected double murder-for-hire of a Tampa Civil Rights advocate and the Cuban-American’s wife. All evidence points to Jacobi and his former boss, who has fled to Cuba. A vulnerable, unreliable witness to Jacobi’s crime spree is murdered along with two officers escorting him to protective custody. Brubaker relies heavily on Corporal Linda Michaels, whose friendship, training, and instincts support him. Their bond is both professional and emotional. She is in love with Brubaker. He wavers, nostalgically unable to let go of old memories. The investigation climaxes with violent clashes against hired thugs from Florida attempting to recover stolen cash. Michaels’s marksmanship saves Brubaker’s life at one point. Ultimately, it comes down to Brubaker and Jacobi in a fight to the death, leaving the detective injured and needing hospital care. Jacobi is worse for wear, requiring multiple surgeries, lying in pain and agony behind steel bars, wearing Brubaker’s handcuffs.
