“Sparks fly when older advice columnist, Sadie
Broward, meets the grandson of a publishing magnate from New York City. Jake Stark
is sent by his grandfather Richard to the small town of Sweetwater, Tennessee
to interview one of the candidates for a position in the family’s national
publications. Sadie feels Jake is looking down his nose at her and her town.
Jake inserts himself uninvited into her life. When she travels to New York City
to meet the Board of Directors of Stark Publications she is unprepared for the
adventures that follow. She meets Pepper Vandenberg, Jake’s purported fiancee
to be. Is Jake using Sadie to make Pepper jealous or is there more to their
passion than what happens in the bedroom? This is a story about chance
encounters leading to unexpected liaisons. When Fate steps in, common sense
flies out the window. A steamy romance from one of the author’s of “Carved
Wooden Heart”.

“Life was never sweet for Simon. He lived in suburban New York, dodging high school bullies and strumming his guitar. Things were about to get much worse. Simon is drawn into the land of Algavar, where High Priestess Teretha has imprisoned their god in amber. He falls into a holy war led by Ilyana, a renegade priestess who claims to be the Messiah. Simon agrees to accompany Ilyana on a quest to kill Teretha, and he sinks hip-deep into the violence and despair that permeate Algavar. Will Simon become the hero Ilyana believes he is, or will he lose his soul in a bloody world so different from his own?”
