Madison "Glenn" Bergman is your typical female citizen of Miami, Florida. She loves the sun, the beach, food, everything about her home town. She's the product of a happy marriage, an only child, spoiled rotten by her doting father. She has a successful career that she loves and a clan of girlfriends that have been by her side since adolescence. Some say that she has the perfect life. If you look deeper, you'll notice that the only thing missing from her picture-perfect life is someone to share it with. Glenn's deep, dark secret is that she is unlucky when it comes to love. Unlucky is putting it nicely. She considers herself the subject of a terrible curse, placed upon her years ago, and it has haunted her since, ruining every chance at love she's even had. So what happens when she's suited by not one, but two eligible men, both courting for her affections? Will she fall for them both, be forced to choose between them? Or will the curse ultimately claim two more unwitting victims? This is Glenn's story...

Another Man's Treasure
"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with." "What are you saying?" Now so close to me, he places his palm on my cheek, and whispers. "You're treasure, Madison...I hope you realize that." ________ Nathan Lane a Billionaire heartthrob who has everything in his life.

The Love Elixir
A witch cursed with obedience stumbles on a tempting opportunity: create an (illegal-ish) love potion for the university it-girl, for a hefty sum. The payment would help her enlist the infamous underground guild to help her break her curse. All in all, a good deal. The problem? The love elixir's target is the university golden boy that said witch has a major crush on. Nothing unfolds as planned, and chaos ensues. ♡ Amira has the short end of the stick. Cursed with obedience and lacking in magical ability, she's an overall outcast at Aeseros University for the Magical Arts and Sciences. The only thing keeping her (and her GPA) afloat is her genius-level potions ability. So she makes the best of the situation by running a secret potion-making business. If she saves enough, she can finally hire the underground guild to help break her curse. But when the popular Calypso De Costa offers to pay an irresistible amount for a love potion, Mira is conflicted. Partly because it's kinda illegal, and mostly because Calypso wants to target Arden Lancaster, the gorgeous, charismatic, studious student council president. And Mira's crush. It would be a hard choice to make - if Mira had any. Things turn from bad to worse when Arden's best friends are also thrown into the mix: sweet sunshine Leonidas, self-absorbed playboy Elijah, and the chronically sleepy Kai. And Mira underestimates Calypso's hunger for revenge. Let's just say: Maybe being cursed isn't so bad.

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy)
** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Spilled Red [ 18+ ]
She hired Dahlia to take care of her kids. Not to crawl under her skin, not to make her feel again, and most certainly not to fall in love with her. Scarlett Romano, mother of two. A woman carved from ice. Cold, powerful, ruthless, and engaged to a woman who looks perfect on paper. A decision made for the sake of legacy, image, and the future of her children. Love? That's a luxury she gave up a long time ago. But then, Dahlia shows up like a crack in her perfect foundation. She's soft where Scarlett isn't. Bright where Scarlett is guarded. Her children have learned to adore her. And Scarlett- despite herself, begins to crave her. To need her. But Dahlia? Dahlia is breaking. She's unraveling. Because she was never meant to belong here. She isn't who she claims to be. She didn't take the nanny job for the paycheck, or the kids. She took it because her father is holding her brother's life over her head. She's not a nanny, she's bait. A spy. A pawn in a game she doesn't want to play. Planted inside Scarlett's home to find weakness, to expose secrets, and burn it all from the inside out. What she didn't expect was the warmth of the children. She didn't expect them to start feeling like hers. She didn't expect Scarlett's rare, shattering softness. And she sure of hell didn't expect to fall in love with the woman she was sent to ruin. Now, Dahlia's caught between two impossible choices. Between the family she's beginning to love...and the family she's so desperate to save. And if the truth ever comes out. She won't just lose her job. It won't just break hearts. It'll ruin everything.
