The Prophet Waits in the Pines (Sequel to The Devil Resides in Louisiana)
Former priest Zion Fitzwilliam never planned to return to the place that broke him. After fleeing Gracepoint, he and Rosemary head north, back to the Commune-the isolated religious sect that once claimed his soul. But this time, he's not going back to stay. He's going back to save his sister and her children. Disguised as a devout priest returning to his former community, Zion must convince the Superiors that he has finally seen the error of his ways. By his side is Rosemary, posing as a pious woman seeking to join the sisterhood. But beneath their disguises, they are walking a dangerous line, navigating a web of watchful eyes, whispered gossip, and the ever-present threat of being discovered. The Superiors are suspicious, Adah is trapped in a life of silent suffering, and Rosemary is horrified by the way women are forced into submission. As Zion is pulled deeper into his old role, forced to preach the same doctrine that once enslaved him, the ghosts of his past claw their way to the surface.

An Echo in the Mafia (Echo Reid, Reid Family Book #1)
Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone! I really hope you take the time to read this story. It's already complete for the most part, in just taking it slow in publishing it. It's my first story and I'd love to hear your comments and feedback. I hope you decide to give it a chance! This is also part one of a series and I'm already midway through the next book which can't be released unless this one gets some positive feedback. Thank you and enjoy!Complete
