A bunny bit me on the finger and everything went sideways after that. That's just the beginning of my insane life. The Fascinators, the local ladies' club, suddenly are incredibly interested in having me join their next Bunco night, which is a thinly veiled excuse to drink and gossip. I've been dying to get into that group for years; why now? I'm over forty, my daughter is grown, and all I do is temp work. What's so special about me? After I shift into a dragon, things become clearer. They're not a Bunco group. The Fascinators are a pack of shifters. Yes, shifters. Like werewolves, except in this case, it's weresquirrels and a wereskunk, among others. And my daughter? She wants to move home, suddenly and suspiciously. As excited as I am to have her home, why? She loves being on her own. It's got something to do with a rough pack of predators, shifters who want to watch the world burn. I hope she's not mixed up with the wrong crowd. There's also a mysterious mountain man hanging around out of the blue. Where was he before the strange bunny bite? Nowhere near me, that's for sure. Life is anything but boring. At this point, I'm just hoping that I'll survive it all with my tail-literally-intact.

Sisterhood of the Stones is a delightfully funny complete paranormal series about three women thrown together by cursed stones: Citrine, Sapphire, and Onyx. The series is light on paranormal, light on romance, and heavy on hilarious. The legend of the stones claims that there was a pirate and a witch who shared an undying love, but something went wrong. What? It's unclear. Fast forward a few years and Cami, Delilah, and Dr. Ember Thorn must work together to solve the unanswered mystery of Renegade Remington and the love of his life, Ariyah, or be cursed by the stones forever. Along the way, if they're open to it and very lucky, perhaps the ladies might find the loves of their lives, lasting friendship, and oh yeah, one very lovable pig. Citrine Wishes: It's inappropriate to wish for your ex-husband to be run over by a truck. Sapphire Omens: If you wish you knew what people thought of you, to be frank, you're a fool. Onyx Interruptions: Time stops for no man, but with a little luck and a little onyx, it'll stop for a woman.

While walking along the beach, Summer is hit with a powerful premonition, one she can't help but act on. Brandi Best must move to Cornellis Island, Summer must take over her mother's bar, and Summer is the one who is tasked with making these things happen. So much for Summer's wants and needs. Her life is going in a direction she can't control, but it's not all bad. At least she has her elderly bestie, Maggie, and her visions keep life interesting. On to the next adventure.

The end is near. In the wake of Vassago's deadly game, Randi endures a lull almost worse than another tango with Stone. Her paranoia feeds on the quiet, filling the silence with fears of Shade reprisal. Sure, the Vampire Council is rebuilding, her once-dead husband has come home, and she's got time again to spend with her son, Logan. But what are her enemies up to? It doesn't help matters when her new friend, Misty Drake, reports fractures in the unholy alliance that point to possible Shade spies. And then there's the dead John Doe case, which seemed at first to be a garden variety mob hit but reveals magical connections. When the investigation dovetails with Shade machinations, Randi slowly uncovers Stone's biggest plot yet. But Shade spies and secret agents abound, thwarting Randi at every turn. Attacks, betrayals, subterfuge, and a hurricane brewing off the coast of Florida conspire to try and defeat Randi and her coalition of the middle. When the storm makes landfall, Armageddon comes to Jacksonville. With the help of her two lovers, Cash and Kalon, as well as new allies and old friends, Randi prepares to make the final stand. The last chapter in the Shade saga packs a punch of apocalyptic proportions. The ultimate battle for the middle unfolds in an epic and emotional climax that will put Randi Sanderson's strength, heart, and soul to the test.

Murder is a game that Randi Sanderson knows far too well, but at least she's playing on the right side of the law. Being half-archangel and half-vampire makes her one of Jacksonville Sheriff Office's best detectives, and a suspect's worst nightmare. When she arrives at the scene of her next case, it's obvious this murder isn't a typical human crime of passion or rage. As a powerful hybrid, Randi can sense something is off, and not just because the body was dumped in a church parking lot. Luckily, her many gifts include the ability to dig up dirt on anyone. This time, getting to work won't be so simple. Surprised by a new partner, Randi knows her life is about to get a little more complicated. There's a reason she doesn't work with others. To the outside world she's just a police detective and single mom, but the reality is she has a secret identity to keep. With the case taking a dark turn and her new partner obviously keeping secrets of his own, the last thing Randi needs is more trouble. So when the angelic and demonic factions start bidding to hire her to kill other supernatural beings just like herself, she patently refuses. The rogue hybrids known as The Shade are none of her concern, and she isn't interested in becoming an assassin. But when she finds herself in the middle of her own case with The Shade coming for her, she must reconsider. The half-angel, half-demon miscreants won't stop until they're dead or they have what they truly want: Randi's son.

Omega wolf shifter, Matilda Carol, is about to change her life forever. Starting over at forty-five isn't the scariest thing she'll have to face in her new life. But she'll pay any price to gain her independence. Even if it means she has to die in the process. Faking her own death and moving away from the only home she's ever known is intimidating, to say the least. Especially when Mattie has been sheltered and controlled by her uncle all her life. It's a good thing that her BFF, Julie, is a powerful fae with connections to several paranormal factions that have all sworn to keep Mattie hidden from her uncle. When Julie goes missing, Mattie will not rest until she's brought home. But she's never investigated a missing persons case before-or any other case. When the police can't find any trace of Julie, Mattie does her own detective work with the help of a vampire king, a witch, and a mysterious hottie who stirs her inner wolf's mating urge. Wow. She didn't see that one coming. Mattie may be packless in Seattle, but she's in control of her own destiny for the first time in her life. She's not about to waste this opportunity.

War is brewing. One rogue outfit inspires fear in both Heaven and Hell alike. The Shade. A group of half-angel, half-demon malcontents bent on domination over the middle. But first, they'll have to deal with Jacksonville's lead detective, Randi Sanderson. A hybrid herself, Randi distanced herself from the magical world, content to live and work among humans. However, after she barely managed to save her own son from the grip of Shade operatives, she's prepared to dive back into the supernatural underbelly - and tear it apart. Hell's no place for a kid, but without safer alternatives, Randi lets her father take her son into hiding while she deals with the Shade threat to her family. Rage fuels her vengeance, but it's gotten her into trouble before. Helping keep her cool, partner Cash Bennett, a fallen angel, provides a healing touch to sooth her tumultuous anger. Together, they face growing upheaval in Jacksonville's paranormal community. Another murder bears the tell-tale signs of Shade interference. A young man is beaten to death. His twin sister barely survives, and what's left of her psyche is fractured by a malicious, infernal magic, causing her to act out. When she runs, Randi and Cash race against time to uncover a Shade plot that seems to grow in scope at every turn. Corruption, spies, assassins, and tight-lipped witnesses plague their investigation, but Randi and Cash face off against all comers. As Cash helps Randi tap into her angelic abilities, their partnership blossoms, as well as a simmering romance threatening to boil over - much to the chagrin of a distant observer poised to return...

With her magic still on the fritz, Lexie's magic training with Octavia is proving to be a slow and downright embarrassing process. One Lexie doesn't have much time for, what with the brand-new investigation she's been assigned. Anyone want to help a fellow Ancients Agency detective figure out how to get rid of pink hair? Uncovering a potential poaching ring is the last thing Lexie expected her boss to tasked her with, but she's ready to get to the bottom of whatever is or isn't going on with the shifters.

And even if the gorgeous wolf Alpha refuses to take a new mate, Lexie isn't afraid to admit that he's nice to look at and strangely comforting to be around. And for whatever reason, her misbehaving magic seems to agree.

He holds in his anger for what the male did to his mother, anger that keeps his wolf on edge. He focuses on killing rogues without becoming one himself.

Howling Creek's favorite local forest ranger is no ordinary human, but she still masquerades as one. Just because she was born a witch doesn't exactly make Lexie all that powerful. After all, most witches have magic they can actually control, but Lexie's powers have been broken for as long as she can remember. Her gifts only show up on their own terms-usually unannounced-at the most inconvenient of times. Things have gotten so bad that Lexie's new familiar was compelled to take all her magic away. Temporarily, of course. Fortunately for Lexie, her day job doesn't require much supernatural skill. Working at The Ancients Agency doing forest patrol means she just has to watch for signs that the resident shifters are misbehaving. Keeping the wolf packs and leopard pride under control is well above her pay grade. Which is honestly for the best considering that one of the wolf shifters just turned up dead.

As the Alpha of the Howlers Wolf Pack, he wants vengeance for his fallen pack member, and the crime is jeopardizing his attempts to forge a peace treaty with the rival wolf pack, the Dark Fangs.

As the most cursed member of the coven, does she have what it takes to administer justice and keep the wolves from going to war?

While her son's safety still remains priority number one, detective Randi Sanderson is locked in a seemingly never-ending battle against Tabas Stone and the half-angel, half-demon gangsters known as the Shade. Eager to eliminate Randi and her allies once and for all, the Shade leader enlists the help of a chaotic ancient demon with the swagger of a rock god and the mind of a lunatic. But Vassago isn't the type of demon to stick to a plan, and before he can successfully eradicate the Vampire Council he's wreaking havoc all across the city. Unfortunately for Randi, Stone and his hired demon are just the beginning. Things are heating up between her and Cash, so why wouldn't her ex, Kalon, decide to come back from the grave? She's grateful to add another powerful fighter to her alliance, but the price to pay is pretty steep. Dealing with the clash of egos only causes headaches, and Randi doesn't have the time to struggle against the tug-of-war game these two want to play in the name of winning her affections. Just when things couldn't possibly get messier, news of an unholy alliance between Heaven and Hell arrives, and it's not good for the Shade. Randi should embrace the divine plan, but she has plenty of reason to fear the father of her child could get caught in the fray. How long can she keep Kalon a secret while she tries to handle the Shade on her own? Not very, if the new hybrid investigator or the endless unwanted media attention have anything to say about it. The heat is on in Jacksonville and it's quickly becoming evident that Randi's plate has never been fuller. It's a good thing she's hungry...for vengeance.
