An ex-spy's quest for redemption leads her into an uneasy partnership with a genetically-engineered dragon. For decades, an elite group of spies within the CIA has kept the existence of magic secret from the world. Katrina Harris counted herself among their number, until a drunken brawl with a co-worker got her fired. She’d do anything to re-enter the thrilling world of supernatural espionage—even infiltrate a terrorist cell without backup. Dr. Phyllis Harper has an Arctic fortress, a dozen magic-wielding soldiers, and a flock of genetically-engineered dragons capable of knocking American warplanes from the sky. All she needs are pilots. A chance encounter lets Katrina talk the doctor into recruiting her. If Katrina escapes Harper’s fortress with intelligence, she can convince her old bosses to take her back. But neither magic nor science can prepare Katrina to have a dragon in her mind. A creature cunning enough to ferret out all her secrets . . . and one whose own fierce memories tell Katrina she might be working for the wrong side. This story contains mature themes, including alcoholism and suicide. Now complete!

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

A new King. A new War. A new Love. When Prince Avaryn Lumynos went mad, he left his country devastated and fearful. Killing hundreds of people in one night, he earned the title of being the most horrid villain that existed in the land of Raffyre... and then he disappeared. Meenu Kyrus was Avaryn's fiancée, and she doesn't even know it. So she lives her life as the substitute for Avaryn as people take the fear they had for him out on her. She is unlucky. There is no way for her to achieve her dream of being a warrior. Especially when the King, Avaryn's cousin, gets engaged to her. Then she meets a mysterious, masked man named Blood. Part of an organization that plans to overthrow the King of Raffyre, Blood lives a life of secrecy and destruction... yet peace and heroism at the same time. However, when Blood starts to make many of Meenu's dreams come true and shows her a strange kindness and trust that she's never felt before, she opens herself up for the first time... But little does she know that very soon, all the secrets he's been hiding were going to ruin her life.
