Trisha Madison is a Jersey girl who’s been managing the family-owned restaurant at the shore for years for less than minimum wage with promises of “keeping it all in the family.” Out of the blue, her parents sell outright to her brother. Rather than destroying every family bond she has in her rage, she leaves town to go on a well-deserved vacation. She has absolutely no intention of living in another tourist town. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Autumn Summers has found a home in Summit Springs, taking on her beloved aunt’s old home and turning it into a bed-and-breakfast. Everything is just perfect except for the pesky clientele. All she wants is to share the peaceful haven that she’s created, but her guests refuse to cooperate. The last straw is the infuriating woman in the Larkspur Suite who insists her meticulously planned Valentine’s weekend event is a disaster waiting to happen.

About the Author

Kim Katil patrols the Universe with her dignity of dragons during the Harvest Moon. The rest of the time, Kim lives in the mythical and contentious territory known as Central Jersey. Originally from South Jersey, she is still unsure if Central Jersey is a real place or a Fae construct. Her movement from the lower to middle band of the state was interrupted by time spent living in Ireland, Boston, Uzbekistan, Maryland, Trinidad, and Florida.

A happily ever after is a necessity. Kim loves to give her characters a fun adventure to get them there and a plethora of family and friends to help them along the way.

Summary:

Powerful vampire, Rose Foster, and her girlfriend, Kara Unnarsdóttir, take refuge in a hidden kingdom of vampires, as war breaks out between vampires and humans. Rose is shocked to find that even though she doesn’t know them, the vampires of this kingdom know her. Not only that, but they’re prepared to follow her into battle. Yet, they refuse to tell her why.

World war rages on in their absence, threatening the extinction of both species. Rose soon realizes that, even though she doesn’t want power, if she wants to prevent genocide, she’ll have to take her place as a Commander of Power.

But when Kara uncovers a terrifying piece of information about Rose, she must decide, once and for all, if her loyalty to the woman she loves is strong enough to withstand even the end of the world. Or if it’s time to do what she does best: betrayal.

In this final installment of the Creatures of Darkness series, the Eklektos will either save the world or destroy it.

Summary: Even the darkest secret can't stand in the way of love. Roo McCormack was a local hero until he killed an opponent. These days Roo is just another washed-up boxer working in a gym. History consigned his dreams of being a champion to the scrapheap. But, buried deep inside him, there’s always the itch to box. For him, the irritation’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, and it’s taking all his willpower not to start scratching. Jacob Tyler was born and raised as a Jehovah Witness. Jacob’s passion for the piano and his secret plan to audition for the conservatorium of music puts him at odds with his faith, the Elders, and his father. Jacob’s father is fanatical about his religion, and all he cares about is Jacob’s salvation. Unexpected friendship leaves Jacob and Roo wishing they understood what was happening. It was more than the knowing glances and unintentional touches of a hand. Combining those things with the scent of another body added up to way too many hazards for the unsuspecting.
