Always and Forever
Synopsis:
Archaeologist Quinn Shaughnessy loves to dig, loves the act of
finding lost treasures, but more she loves understanding how "what
was" affects "what is".
When she stumbles onto a forgotten
castle in the middle of the English countryside, she is determined to learn all
that she can about the place.
Never in Quinn's wildest dreams could she imagine
her quest for answers would lead her into the adventure that awaits her.
After
an encounter with an old woman speaking of magic and the sighting of a handsome
ghost who haunts the castle grounds, Quinn finds herself pulled back into the
past to the time when the castle was inhabited.
Quinn will learn that it isn't by chance that she was the one to
find that which was lost. She will learn first hand how the link to the past
impacts the path of the future, and she will discover a love that not even the
passing of time can diminish.

Waiting for the One
Synopsis:
Saffron Mills has lived all of her almost thirty years in
Harrington, Maine—a small town where fishing is plenty, but available men are
far too few.
Yet it’s not just her dating dry spell that draws her to recent
arrival Logan MacGowan.
Tall, dark, and handsome, with emerald-green eyes and
an impossibly hot body, Logan is a gorgeous enigma whose silence she takes for
indifference…until one unforgettable chance meeting, when pent-up attraction
ignites into the most intense encounter of her life.
In this quiet, quirky town, no one knows that Logan’s alter ego is
famous sculptor and tabloid darling David Cambre.
In New York, he had all the
wrong kind of attention, but in Harrington, he’s found peace, privacy…and
Saffron.
She’s witty, forthright, and so much sexier and stronger than she knows.
But how do you
protect the love you’ve been waiting for when your own lifestyle could be
destined to rip it apart?

Teagan Harper is barely ten years old when she
finds herself orphaned and sent away to live at Raven’s Peak, a Gothic estate
on the seaside cliffs of Maine.
Soon, though, her heartache and loneliness are
tempered by a blossoming friendship with the only other child living at Raven’s
Peak: Kane Doyle, only two years older than Teagan and abandoned by his mother.
Over the years, the pair grows inseparable. First they’re pranksters and
confidants, but eventually their feelings change, and best friends turn into soul
mates.
On the cusp of Teagan’s departure for a university in Boston, they share
a glimpse into their happily-ever-after and make promises of forever.
But Teagan and Kane’s engagement and dreams of
the future are shattered when Teagan returns home to find Kane gone from

Devastated and heartbroken, Teagan
cuts ties with her beloved adoptive home and tries to move on with her life.
But years later, when the shocking truth behind Kane’s betrayal comes to light,
Teagan must decide whether to embrace her new life and let go of her past once
and for all, or fight for her dream life with the only man she’s ever wanted.

Just Me
Synopsis:
Lark O'Bannion learned early that life isn't
really like a fairy tale.
Parents don't always love their children
unconditionally.
Damsels are usually left to deal with their
distress alone and Prince Charming rarely, if ever, comes riding to the rescue.
Happily-ever-afters are a lovely concept, but
in reality are few and far between.
When Sebastian Ross rolls into her life on his
Harley, with his dark beauty and inked skin, Lark is willing to admit that
maybe she doesn't know as much as she thinks she does.
Sebastian wants nothing more than to get out
from under the control of his parents and their desire to force him into a
mold.
Changing schools in his senior year isn't an
act of rebellion, but his attempt to take control of his life by following his
own path.
One look into Lark's emerald-green eyes and
control is taken out of Bastian's hands.
He will discover that the only path he wants to
follow is the one that leads to her.

His Light in the Dark
Synopsis:
My first memory was of a slap, hard across the
face: the sting on my cheek and the jarring of my bones as I slammed back into
my bed. It was my dad who had hit me.
I
had been four.
Most of my memories were much of the same and no
one ever saw, no one ever fought to help, no one ever cared.
Then we moved.
My new neighbor cared, rescued the
twelve-year-old I had been from a beating. Always thought I'd suffer the
nightmare alone, I was wrong.
Mace Donati saved me that day in all the ways a
person could be saved.
And his daughter, Mia, she became the friend I
had always wanted, my conscience when my own faltered, the light that led me
home when I had lost my way.
The girl who grew into the only woman I would
ever love.
But when you realize you're more like your father
than the good people who took you in and gave you a home, the only way to
return their kindness is to let them go.
I let them go, got so far lost in the shadows I
couldn't remember who I was anymore. Mia never gave up on me. She fought for
me, kept the light on so I'd find my way back.
And
when I did, life threw us a curveball. I had to hurt Mia in order to save her.
But when my past comes back to haunt me and I
almost lose her, I'm ready to fight for her...fight to find a way back into her
heart while keeping the demons from my past from finishing what they started.

life.
My name is Sidney Ellis and this is my story of
finding love twice—the first when I needed it most and the second when I never
saw it coming.
