As a boy, Adam Reid stumbled into an enchanted forest; and met a magical lady who showed him his destiny. Now he is a serious adult, and memories have faded of a childhood event that could not possibly have occurred. Brigit Malone is on a mission; a dangerous quest that leads her into Adam Reid's home and heart. For sparks fly when her gaze meets his, and a passionate enchantment binds them.

The idyllic town of Endover, New Hampshire, looks innocent. But below its surface a thirst and a desire both powerful and ancient boil fiercely. When two girls go missing, only one person can delve deep enough to find them - Maxine Stuart, a private investigator who has finally started to believe. "Mad Maxie" understands why she was asked to help - no living mortal knows as much about the undead as she. But the dark force controlling Endover can see all, and will use Maxine's knowledge against her to strengthen his hold on the town. Not even the influence of Lou Malone, the man Maxie most desires, can convince her to abandon the crusade against a madman's yearning for power...and resurrected love.

OUT OF THE BROOM CLOSET, INTO THE FIRE.... Being a Witch in a small town is hard enough. Being a Witch and a high school teacher is even harder. But when horrible things with “occult” trappings begin happening by night in Ezra Township, things get dangerous for Mirabella Saint Angeline. And when one teen dies, they get downright deadly as a modern day Witch hunt begins.

No sooner had Selene Brand cast her love spell than dark, handsome—and freshly stabbed—Cory Forrester fell at her feet. She felt as destined to save this stranger as she was to love him, even if it meant exposing her secret life as a witch. But the injured amnesiac didn't even know his own name, whether Selene was the cause of his injured state—or his salvation.Cory knew only that his attraction to Selene was as unworldly as her unusual pagan rituals…and that with killers now after both of them, they might be dead before nightfall….

Left at the Altar!When Adam Brand's first and only love Kirsten chose not to show up on their wedding day, he was devastated. When she turned up again, married to the town's richest old man, it was almost a relief. His seething anger overpowered his heartbreak. At least, outwardly it did. Inside he never understood, and rather than be forced to see her playing trophy bride to a billionaire, he left Quinn, Texas, his family, and the Texas Brand.But now he's back, and Kirsten's in trouble. Her wealthy husband has been shot dead, his blood is on her hands, and his gun bears her prints. The secrets she's been keeping for longer than Adam has ever suspected, have finally come home to roost, and there's only one man who can save her from the mess she's made of her life. The one man with more cause to hate her than anyone, more cause to hate her than he even knows. And now she has no choice but to tell him the truth...about everything.
