Book Description
"Gerwalta Kline has wished all her life to escape the weight of being named after her infamous ancestor Die Verrèaterin, the betrayer, better known by humans as Little Red Riding Hood. Unlike the fairy tale heroine, the historical figure defiled her legacy, leading to her being executed for the high crime of mating a werewolf. Desperate to keep history from repeating itself, Geri turns away from her legacy, denies her birthright, defies her controlling mother, and endeavors to live as a human. Fate is a fickle thing however, and it almost seems like Gerwalta's name is her curse. In Chicago, she soon encounters Tobias Somfield, a wolf far away from his packlands in England, tracking another of his kind Tobias claims was kidnapped by a cabal of vampires. The last thing Geri wants is to get involved with a lone wolf's problems, but circumstances don't give her much choice. Tobias is right about one thing; the vampires in Chicago are up to something. Whatever it is spells troubles for hoods and wolves alike. Even if it means working with a wolf she can't help but find attractive, and knowing from experience the danger of stepping off that cliff, Geri finds herself acting the part of a reluctant hood."--page 4 of cover.

Book Description
Assume that demons are incapable of love. Now remember what happens when you assume. If demons aren't supposed to be able to love, then why does Hell's all-star minion, Jerry Romani, keep going all goo-goo eyed every time Riona Dade's around? Is there something about the redhead that's different from the other women he's been dispatched to seduce? And why, oh why, does the Devil himself want this sexy yet prosaic mortal tagged and tailed? Things between the embedded demon and the sultry statistician start to heat up just as the temperatures outside take a dive, and Jerry soon realizes Riona will be opening more than just his package come Christmas. She's opening his heart, and with it, a world of possibility about what their futures might hold. This prequel also includes (in an act explainable by the author) two short, post-series stories.

Book Description
"Of more than one thousand battles fought during the war," William C. Davis notes, "a few have risen to lasting fascination and prominence, some even regarded as 'turning points.' The battles included in this book are those that caused the greatest casualties, produced the greatest feats of heroism, and won or lost major campaigns. They decided the course of the war in the East and the West, set the standard for valor and sacrifice, defined who the American soldier was to be in this war and in the future, and established the American military tradition." This volume presents accounts of five Confederate victories (Fort Sumter, First Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chickamauga, and Franklin), five Union victories (New Orleans, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and Nashville), and three stalemates (Monitor v. Virginia, Antietam, and Charleston). Also included are chapters on solder life, the steadfast Iron Brigade, and the first volunteer African-American combat troops recruited in the North-the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry. From the first shot in Charleston Harbor to the one-day decimation of the Southern army on the outskirts of Nashville, these pages are colored with the wide range of expectation and disappointment that frustrated the country during four years of war.

Book Description
Everyone knows that love is blind, but even Riona Dade knows it’s supposed to be with a mortal. That’s true even if you are a witch with the ability to magically slay the scum of Hell. Plus, when you find out your ex-boyfriend was a demon, you should probably take your lesson about falling for the wrong guy. Probably. It’s a great theory, anyway. Marc Angeletti, a piece of forbidden fruit with onyx eyes and a razor wit, can start packing his luggage for damnation now. Riona is… wow, but love isn’t really an option for a man who’s dedicated himself to the church. Too bad nobody told his body that. The more he and the witch battle the forces of darkness side by side, the harder it becomes to resist the pull he feels. The only solution is to be a sarcastic ass, and hope she doesn’t call him on it. Or worse, hope she doesn’t have a thing for sarcastic asses. When Lucifer himself takes a personal interest in wooing the witch, the stakes aren’t the only thing raising. As long as Riona and Marc can keep things professional and north of the sheets, no problem. Too bad both of their compasses are broken where bedrooms are concerned.

Book Description
Dee Zitka just can’t catch a break. The last time he was home, his beloved wife Clare died at Zeus’s feet. The demigod vowed never to return, but someone has to save Riona Dade from his crazy Greek God family. The goal: a swift rescue mission, no distractions. Crossing paths with feisty quartergod Anwen Yates proves how the best laid plans sometimes don't mean jack. Seems Anwen has a couple of demons on her tail, and Zeus’s kingdom would be the perfect place to hide out. The fact that Dee finds her frustrating, funny, and sexy as hell has nothing at all to do with his decision to bring her along. Nope. Meanwhile, stuck on Mount Olympus, Riona had become a third wheel to the ancient, troubled marriage between Persephone and Hades. The cherry on the cake? Suddenly, her blossoming angelic powers have taken on a life of their own. Oh, and angels on Olympus without permission are subject to death. Needing to get her heavenly hexing under control before her hybrid heritage is exposed, Hades finds Riona an angelic mentor. And wouldn’t you know it that Azazel brings his newly-minted demon, Marc Angeletti, along for the ride. As the days tick by, the lines of right and wrong, purpose and persuasion, and sin and sanctity begin to blur. Rumors fly, the Heaven-Hell Accords grow as flaky as baklava, and Zeus grows more cryptic by the day. Riona's angelic instincts throw her libido haywire, Hades makes a Hail Mary pass to save his marriage, and Jerry fears that his may be over before it’s even begun. Meanwhile, as the two pillars close in on Olympus, and Dee begins to wonder if he can honor his wife’s memory, while evermore wanting to do right by Anwen.
