Nora was finally getting her life back on track. One after another, she faced the challenges life threw her way until, at last, she could live in peace with her family. From inheriting a small pet clinic, Nora has a place to call home with her twin brothers and daughter. However, Declan, a multi-millionaire and the biological father to her child, would soon disrupt her newly found peace. Though their relationship began with a rocky start, they are willing to compromise for the sake of their daughter, Denora. But what Nora doesn't realize is that Declan wants more than just a superficial relationship-he wants them to become a real family. Of course, Nora refuses. She believes what started as a one-night stand could never develop into something more. Declan thinks differently. Because behind the cold exterior Nora hides behind is a woman burning with passion, just waiting to be discovered. But uncovering her secrets will be harder than he initially thought. Not only does he have to worry about Nora's defenses but also her family's. Neither does it help that she never seems to step foot out of her pet clinic, the Animal House. Just what does a man have to do in order to seduce the mother of his child?

❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality--her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.
