Kate is the daughter to one of the most powerful mafiosos this side of Georgia, yet she has no idea of the rites and rituals of The Syndicate- or of the role she will be forced to play.  A chance encounter with a kurdi changes everything, and Kate is forced to decide between being the dutiful daughter or risking her life as wife to a man she doesn't know.  Nikolai has been raised for the last twelve years to be in this moment.  While being his father's successor wasn't his original dream, he had no choice but to step up as heir to the Tediashvili name when his older brother, Mikheil, was murdered in a gang war.  Marrying Kate has never been a choice; it's been a duty and obligation.  Still Nikolai can't fight the need to protect her that overshadows even his common sense. and he must risk everything to save her- even if it means never seeing her again.  In a tale of love and loss set against the backdrop of the Georgian mafia that traverses the United States and the Republic of Georgia, Tempered strikes at the heart to ask: what would you give up if it meant the sheer possibility of gaining everything?




The Gospel of Persephone (paranormal romance)
For eighteen years, Persephone has lived a sheltered life behind convent walls with her aunt. However, lurking in their solitude is a troubling truth: Persephone is a 6,000-year-old goddess on the run. When her aunt reveals herself as Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and that she has been protecting Persephone from a forced marriage to Hades all these years, the young goddess must choose to continue a mortal life in hiding or join forces with Lysias, the god of destruction, to create a new fate. With the lives of mortals hanging in the balance, Persephone is forced to confront whether she is strong enough to battle Hades to the death for the sake of the world or if she has no choice but to accept his terms to return to the Underworld. In a story that balances mythology with modern romance storytelling, The Gospel of Persephone is a whirlwind story that leaves readers breathless and wanting more.

Vale  
(dystopian paranormal romance)
Alexander Vale has lived for a thousand years.  He has seen the human race fall prey to the immortals and now, as a member of the ruling Archon class, he is responsible for his own people- both the older and more powerful Archontes as well as the hunger-driven Subalterns- and the mortal Esnes.  The Law is his safety; he helped create the ruling class hundreds of years ago to quell revolt and provide a measure of calm in a world that was ravaged by cruelty and harsh conditions.  Once the Old Lands were made docile, he and those like him turned to the New Lands, and he eventually settled himself as the Commissioner of the North Eastern Dominion.  The Law was established: the Esnes were forced into obedience, the Subalterns (for the most part) were subdued, and the Archontes were firmly in control.  There have been minor rebellions, but, since the Great Rebellion (twenty-five years ago), there has been a relative peace.  Stumbling upon an Esne after dark, his entire life is turned on end and he sees not only who he has been but who he is at his core.  In a story that combines the dystopian with paranormal romance, Vale crafts a psychological tale that pits ego against soul with heartbreaking consequences. 

Hosts & Hellions trilogy
(speculative fantasy romance)
Delve into the battle between Heaven and Hell as never before!  Join Ela, a human, and Lucian, a Hellion, as they fall in love and battle Hell alongside four archangels in order to save all of mankind.

"I'm a Hellion."  With those words, Lucian turns Ela's world upside down and what started as a possible romance begins a whirlwind chance to change the world.  Ela, a bookstore owner who has been raising her autistic brother since their parents abandoned them nearly fourteen years ago, finds herself embroiled with Lucian, an upper level demon who has, after millennia, finally had a crisis of conscience. As the two of them work together alongside four archangels to save their town and, by extension, the human race, they show the true meanings of grace, faith, and, ultimately, the forgiveness that only true love can give. Akin to books like This Present Darkness, The Mortal Instruments series, and The Second Messiah, the Hosts and Hellions Trilogy are three books that are part religious fantasy/part romance while giving an allegorical and very human face to the Great Love Story shared between humanity and God.




Children of Hellions (Hosts & Hellions  #1) 
Ela, a bookstore owner who has been raising her autistic brother since their parents abandoned them nearly fourteen years ago, finds herself embroiled with Lucian, an upper level demon who has, after millennia, finally had a crisis of conscience.  When Lucian realizes that Ela is the answer to saving a small Canadian town from a war between demons, he creates a plan that will utilize a demon, a mortal, and even heavenly hosts in order to save humanity.  But will it be enough?  And is Lucian fighting for Ela, or is Ela just the means to secure his own demonic power?



Sons of God (Hosts & Hellions #2) 
In spite of his nature as a Tenth Realm Hellion, Ela has trusted Lucian and sacrificed herself in order to save Cape Spear.  When she joins back with the archangels and the depth of Lucian's plan is made known, the archangels reveal game changers that have the Hosts and Ela questioning Lucian's motives.  With the war at hand, however, there is no time to lose.  They have to trust each other and join forces to try and save the world- but even that might not be enough for Ela to walk away from the war alive.






Daughters of Men (Hosts & Hellions #3)
The war over, Lucian must now sit in judgment for all that he has done.  With Lucifer arguing for his return to Hell and Lucian refusing to speak for himself, he falls to his knees and prays for mercy.  In this riveting conclusion to the Hosts and Hellions trilogy, the true meanings of grace, faith, and, ultimately, the forgiveness that only true love can give are shown, giving an allegorical and very human face to the Great Love Story shared between humanity and God.







 


Aegean Affairs series
(sweetheart romance)
Sail away with romance in Greece!  Aegean Affairs is a line of sweet romance novels that explore love with a side of Grecian beauty and attitude.  From an Aegean island to the streets of Athens, with stops in Dublin, Baghdad, and the U.S. along the way, you'll find yourself submerged in Greek language- and love-based romance.  No passport required and a happy ending guaranteed!



Amnesty of the Heart (Aegean Affairs #1)

Pain is nothing new to Annie O’Shay, an Irish-tempered field journalist. When she finds herself on a secluded Greek island, the last thing she’s expecting is to find someone to share her heart with—let alone see the scars on her heart. Talos Sophacletes’s first glimpse of Annie on his island was a memorable one. His own dark past has closed his heart and mind to a future with any woman, but this one might just break through that—if only for a short time.  When their worlds collide they’re both left with the decision that matters most of all—go back to the loneliness they had before…or take a chance at a future they never thought possible.



Drunk on Passion (Aegean Affairs #2)

Hesper has lived two lives: the sweet (but sassy!) twin sister who always visits her parents and University party girl.  After a night gets out of hand, she escapes with the hope of dropping her party girl image forever.  Duncan has been running the Dublin Field Office of Amnesty International since his predecessor (and the uncle of his former fiancé) was murdered.  Having been a “bad boy” for most of his career, he’s finally single and re-evaluating his life after accepting that his fiancé moved on and found happiness with her new husband.  His history makes their union a complete impossibility, but he can’t help but fall in love with the young woman running from her own ghosts.






Happily Ever After (Aegean Affairs #3)
Ophelia has given her life to her family.  As a mother of three and wife to a businessman who is never home, she barely has time to breathe, let alone write the books that have garnered her fame.  When she discovers an infidelity and flees to a Greek retreat, will she rediscover love with Costas, the man who promises her the ability to forget?  Or will she have to face the heartbreak of starting over alone.
