Layla has rotten luck when it comes to love but the rest of her life is going well. ... Or at least it was.
Layla Takanashi had everything she needed; a good job, a great best friend, and a nice apartment in the city. A boyfriend would just be icing on the cake. But after a flop of a first date, Layla decides to drown her sorrows at a bar and ends up with something she never would have asked for. A death curse.
Now Layla finds herself dying in a new way every day with no way to stop it. She reaches out to Rhys Pembroke, the owner of a local occult bookstore, for help. But she soon finds out that he may be more than she bargained for.

Blood Bargain
Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #1 in the Appalachian Magic book series.

The Elementals; Fire
Layla's always had a fiery attitude, so what happens when something new begins to happen inside her that physically matches it? Desperate to keep her new found ability under wraps, she struggles to try and balance her mind and body, and adjust to her new life. It's especially hard when three new comers enter her life and really test her patience. ----------------------- "Luka what do you want? Can't you see you've already made me angry enough? Are you wanting for me to hit you or something?" He looked almost as frustrated as I felt, what did he have to feel like that? "You don't understand Layla, nothing's working" I shot him a look, what does he mean nothing is working? "You are literally trying to make me mad on purpose, why?" The fire inside me made the words come out harsher than I intended, but I decided I didn't care. He made me like this. "Because I want to help, but I need to make sure you're the right person" We stood silent for a few seconds, before the first part of his sentence registered in my head and I responded to it. "I don't need your help, I don't need any of your help" Luka snapped his head towards me, and a small laugh escaped from from his mouth. "Trust me, you do" ----------------------------- Layla is thrust into a new life consisting of pain, love and betrayal, and no matter how hard she tries, she won't ever be able to escape.
