Synopsis - Tess used to spend more hours than she’d care to admit playing her favorite computer game, using the nickname Angel. She could pretend her life was different, and she could pretend Arion was just a friend. But a girl needs more to keep her warm at night than pixels and she traded her virtual heaven for a real life hell. Now she’s on the run from a past she won’t talk about, and the only place she has to go is the doorstep of the friend she’s never actually met.
When Angel disappeared from their nightly games, it nearly destroyed Arion. He threw himself into work and women, but he can’t help knowing the one night stands will never compare to the angel who haunts his dreams. At first, when she shows up soaking wet and scared-shitless on his doorstep, he thinks his prayers have been answered.
But the more Arion tries to keep Angel close, the more her fear drives her away. If they are ever going to have a chance for a future, they’ll first have to deal with the past that hasn’t forgotten her any more than she’s forgotten it, and Arion will have to learn how to let her go.

One kiss is all it takes for them both to come undone. Sexy, demanding, and passionate, Adam wants her desperately.

She felt different from others her age, and just knew she was meant for something important. But, like most kids, Ava grew up and eventually accepted the fact that her childish dreams were just that, and maybe a normal life wasn't so bad after all.

She’s haunted by terrifying nightmares of a frightening man chasing her, determined to catch her, to take her—a huge hulk of a man with one blue eye and one green. Even during daylight hours, there are moments her hair stands on end with an uneasy prickle of awareness . . . and she just can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched.

Unable to decide if she’s imagining things or just plain crazy, Ava finds an unlikely ally in Caleb Foster, a brilliant and mysterious man who comes to her rescue as a Physics tutor, but in reality has another mission in mind.

Fighting to survive, Ava has to depend on Caleb to lead her through the strange new world opening up before her. A world of magic and mystery, where she learns she’s not
actually normal . . . she's not even just special.

She's a little bit more

Series - The Witchbound Series - Book 1
Released - March 15th 2013
Synopsis - Seventeen-year-old Baltimore Land just wants to be normal, but magic has other plans.I don’t consider myself a witch, that's my parents' thing. I've never really believed in magic either. Sure, I tried it a few times. Fell for the whole “magic happens” thing. But it didn’t happen to me. No amount of rhyming stopped my parents from moving me halfway across the country. Not one spell stopped me from being labeled the town freak.

And worst of all, no matter how many times I begged the Universe to bring my twin back, I was ignored. Until now.

He’s back all right. And in a magical bind of his own. Not the magic-won’t-work-for-me kind either. In fact, it’s working a little too well. Too dark. Too deep.

It turns out our entire family’s magical roots run just as deep and my brother didn’t end up where he is by accident. So I’m going to help him. But magic isn’t really on my side. Nope. Once I finally get the craft under control, I’m expected to abandon the one person in the world who’s closest to me, just to save myself.

The first book in the Witchbound Series, previously named the Elemental Series, Roots will be re-released March 15th 2013.

Book 2, Sprung, will be released April 1st 2013.

Source - Own, Kindle
Available - Kindle, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble (eBook format only)
Synopsis - Moo is getting married, and Estela has vowed to do everything she can to give her best friend the perfect wedding.

After surviving a stalker and a serial killer, she’s sure she can face just about anything. Even Paulina Hart, Moo’s overbearing, controlling, and evil mother, who has sunk her Momzilla talons into the wedding details and is shredding everything!

To keep Moo’s dream day from chaos and ruin, Estela takes a more hands-on role in wedding planning. Between meeting her biological father and his family and a forced partnership with a dominatrix, she quickly learns that pulling off a secret, Momzilla-free wedding is near impossible.

Focusing only on Moo also pushes Estela’s other relationships, including the details of her own wedding, to the back burner. When things start falling apart at the seams, Estela realizes that she has to do something to mend the cracks in her life before she loses not only Moo, but Caleb too.
