Saving Akira
Mark O’Neil is a new cop at the local PD. The last thing he expected was to get a frantic call about a tiger running loose in a quiet neighborhood.
A tiger!
As far as he’s concerned, it’s a little too early in the morning for this kind of prank. The call is either a hoax, or somebody’s alcohol-induced hallucination.
When a beautiful veterinarian responds to the same call, however, Mark quickly realizes that nobody is hoaxing anyone; there really is a tiger loose in somebody’s backyard!
In a split second, everything can go horrifically wrong, or wonderfully right. Either the tiger is captured, and no one gets hurt, or people are harmed, and the animal must be destroyed.
A morning call for help is quickly becoming more than Mark ever expected. His future is about to change, all while saving Akira.

THE RIGHT TO SIZZLE
A police officer and firefighter face off in the game of romance!
Coy O’Leary is a cop whose professional bearing means never dating another police officer or one of the firefighters her older brother works around. Dangerous professions shouldn’t mix! It’s a rule and there are standards from which she won’t stray.
Jake Collins is a Crew Chief. He’s also a man on a mission. He knows who Coy is and has been told over and over that this is one woman who won’t date him because of his profession − never mind the fact that he’s her brother’s best friend. Two strikes are firmly against Jake ever even meeting the woman of his dreams. But these things are small issues to him. Nothing will deter this firefighter from going after exactly what he wants. If he can face a flame, he’ll face the blazing sparkle in Coy O’Leary’s eyes.

ROLLING IN CLOVER
Jenny Clover comes from an exceptionally lengthy line of magical folk who emigrated to America during the Irish famine years. Eventually, her ancestors settled in a rural Texas community where they live today.
It has always been easy hiding her and her family’s mystic powers since using them would cause attention they don’t need. Especially when their biggest problem is watering livestock and no amount of magic Jenny, and her aunts and uncles possess can undo a drought.
When she mysteriously wins a contest for a soap company in Fermanagh County, Ireland, and the money that comes with it saves the family farm, Jenny is understandably overjoyed. She also wins an all-expense trip to Ireland, and she can’t wait to get to the homeland of her forebears.
Where one problem ended, however, an even bigger one presents itself in the form of The Honorable Declan Tyrnan Shea, lately bestowed with his father’s title as The Baron of Clanshea.
Where Jenny and Declan are concerned, mysterious and amazing magical forces are about to upend their lives. Neither of their families will ever be the same when the real adventure begins.

Valentine’s Day for one cynical, mythic creature will never be the same.
Caleb Sumner is a Demonid.
He has seen men and women through the ages cheat on each other to the point that gushy holidays like Valentine’s Day make him sick.

This particular year, however, Caleb is one Grove Nymph away from having his heart and mind completely altered!

Is living through eternity worth it? What purpose does life hold if you cannot be with the people who mean the most?

For eons, the undead have lived among us. In the countryside of Ireland, it is easy to hide. For one lonely woman, her hidden existence in the night could be a curse. She is strong but different even from the other vampires around her and that difference may initiate the biggest journey of her undead life.
