In this story from the (as yet unpublished) collection Lost in the Tale, Janet spends a promised Season in London, with her English father. Will she meet the English tourist who wed her than left her? Not if she can avoid it, though she may need to find him if only to finalise a divorce. The Earl of Medford thinks the Scots girl with whom he had a brief affair in the Highlands must have bewitched him, for he cannot forget her. But his agents say no one of that name exists. And his sister insists he must put the interlude behind him and choose a bride. Can they resolve their differences? And will a child, a cat, a meddling sister and a jealous stepmother help or hinder?

**PUBLISHING 6/20/2017** Mermaids are soulless, flesh-eating monsters of the sea, wicked in all ways-but some are born with more humanity. Nathaniel Thomas believes in monsters. He's seen his share since joining the pirate crew of the Blood-Red Siren. Tales are rampant, especially of mermaids-the deep sea nymphs. With their hypnotic songs, they lure ships to crash and then feast on those aboard, stealing the seed from a man's loins while drinking down his blood. But Nathan has learned not to believe in things he hasn't seen with his own eyes. All of that seems foolish when he witnesses hideous, scaly-skinned abominations peeling the flesh from his shipmates, but Nathan manages to avoid death. He is rescued by a similar creature, and though he is wary of her, he soon finds that she is nothing like her kin. He calls her his Treasure, and she is beautiful beyond anything he's ever seen. There is goodness in her. He knows they do not belong together, but she will not leave him. Likewise, he cannot purge her from his thoughts. Nathan is introduced to truths he never would have believed, to a love he never thought possible, and to a war that he could not anticipate. There are secrets and horrors in the dark depths, and he is out to uncover them, even if the truth costs him his own humanity. Dark, frightening, and erotic, DARK DEPTHS is a retelling of The Little Mermaid.

Seventeen-year-old Katinka is trapped in a magical dress in the middle of New York City. Ever since a man with burning blue eyes snatched her into his fancy flying carriage, Katinka has been a prisoner in the realm of the Magi, an invisible 18th-century world of haughty, aristocratic wizards, torturous corsets, and absolutely no chance of education for women. Which is very unfortunate since all Katinka wants is to get the education no women in her family have ever had. Her kidnapper Balthazar, resident playboy of the Magi court, is locked in a battle of power with his formidable mother - the reason why he kidnapped "a filthy human" in the first place. As Katinka searches for a way back home, she finds Olivia, an autistic girl locked up in the house. Soon Katinka is busy solving Olivia's mystery, sending home magical letters, and trying not to trip in her gargantuan dress in front of a very charming courtier. It is most inconvenient, then, that the only person who can help her untangle the knots and find her way home is the man she has sworn to loathe for all eternity - Balthazar.

Rosalia is used to enchantment. With a brother who freed a beast and a friend who slept for over a hundred years, coming across enchantment doesn't phase her much. At least, it doesn't phase her when she's not directly dealing with it. But when she meets a talking frog and he ends up coming home with her, that changes things. Of course, after having been on the run for her life, meeting a talking frog wasn't as much of a surprise as one would expect on that particular day. But what does The Frog want? Does he really just want to spend time with her? And a better question, HOW can this frog talk? Besides that, there's him. Mr. Ernest Cliffwood. Charming and attentive and new, his sights apparently set on Rosalia but she's seen that playboy attitude from other rakes of the Ton and knows to be wary even if everyone else sees a marriage on the horizon as The Season gets into full swing. And there's one more person - more mysterious then Mr. Cliffwood. He appears and disappears in and out of the waltzing crowds as easily as if by some enchantment. What are his intentions? Who is he? Who is Mr. Cliffwood. And how does a frog talk?! ~~~~~~ (Please Note: These books link but it is NOT ESSENTIAL that you read them in order - they stand alone as well as link together) The Rose Quartet Reading Order: Beauty and The Beast: http://w.tt/1wczujq Sleeping Beauty: http://w.tt/1TFivIc The Frog Prince: Little Red Riding Hood: http://w.tt/1PBaNbs ~~~~ Cover art by: Bea Jackson Check out their work: http://beagifted.deviantart.com/

*completed NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL!* An ancient Cursed bloodline, a world-crossed romance, tyrant kings, a princess with dragon wings, a forbidden love affair, and a sorcerer meant to reign in chaos... this is the Redemption Saga. Bride of Alvar What if your entire life your mother declared you're destined to wed a king from a magical world? Would you believe her? Probably not. I didn't believe her either, until a handsome, other-worldly king showed up to claim me as his bride. Despite my annoying attraction to him, I let the magical king know about a complication: I'm already engaged to somebody else. However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a fantastical new world is nothing compared to learning just how many dark secrets my new husband hides and that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.
