When high-profile true crime writer, Ben Ogilvie, is persuaded to interview Eleanor Reardon, he gets substantially more than he bargained for. Eleanor is the illegitimate daughter of Gina Lawrence, a woman still in FBI witness protection after an unprecedented thirty-five years. It is now 1997. The horrendous events on Fairport (God's Island) are all but forgotten-indeed virtually obliterated by a zealous cover-up. However, fallen millionaire Sam Godsteen wants the record put straight and knows the elusive Gina Lawrence is the only person alive that can do it.

Through Eleanor, Ogilvie meets Gina and the fantastic journey begins. She takes him deep into a world of intrigue and espionage, as seen through the eyes of a woman who knows she is only being used for her memory-faces stored in her brain. Faces of monsters a sane person would want to erase

Gina is not allowed to forget. Indeed because of Eleanor, barely a year old at the time, she is intimidated by government agents who indirectly threaten to have her and the baby "thrown to the wolves" unless she cooperates. Her inclusion on an internationally circulated death list leaves her little choice.

Ill-trained and poorly equipped, she is flung headlong into a vicious arena where only the most cunning and experienced can ever hope to survive. Her ordeal begins in Hong Kong where she meets Travis the spymaster. She's never sure of the tight-lipped Travis, yet her life soon depends on his every word.

Dragon's Island engulfs her and the terror begins once more.

Dragon's Island is a standalone sequel to God's Island.

While Clarice waits for help to arrive, miles away her parents and brother are brutally murdered in their home. At the funeral, a man approaches her and offers his condolences, claiming to be a friend of her brother's. Clarice has a sense of recognition but can't place where she might know him from. As a precaution, three deputies are assigned to watch over Clarice until it can be determined whether or not her family was a target or simply victims of a random attack. Staying at her deceased brother's home, Clarice soon learns that even police protection can't save her from the evil that took her family. When her family's attacker appears and kills the three deputies who were meant to guard her, Clarice is certain she will die as violently as her parents and brother.

Suddenly she finds herself and her guardian in a deadly, terrifying game of cat and mouse with a killer who won't stay dead.

Gemma Hart knows well enough what a gilded prison looks like. Paranoid due to the unsolved assassination of their parents, her brother had spent the last seven years ensuring she doesn't face the same fate. Trapped from the outside world, some simple privileges are things she's been kept from. For one, the chance to find her mate naturally. Just days after her twentieth birthday an invitation under her name crosses her brother's desk, carelessly swept away to keep from her curious eyes. An invitation to The Lotus Trials. The series of tests were rumored to be a struggle for the strongest, most agile warrior wolves. Her own father and brother had barely passed the final challenge. But what better chance did she have at proving she could forage her own path in the world outside the border? And how convenient it was that the trials were just days behind the mating ball. ~~~~~ Ezekiel Winters has felt himself slipping, day by day. After the loss of his mate, his grief-like so many others-has driven him to the brink. It's then that a life partner is demanded of him, as a second queen might save him from his darkening fate. Just as he begins to lose hope entirely he stumbles upon a peculiar girl who seems to be an oddity to be competing in the annual trials he hosts. Certainly far too different from his first mate for his wolf to be so drawn to, yet as The Lotus Trials continue on, further and further the king falls, raising a question filled with desperate hope. Can this girl banish his shadows at last? ~~~~~ BOOK ONE. UPDATE EVERY FRIDAY. ENJOY!
