Book Description
This is the story of Rebecca Stirling’s childhood: a young girl raised by the sea, by men, and by literature. Circumnavigating the world on a thirty-foot sailboat, the Stirlings spend weeks at a time on the open ocean, surviving storms and visiting uncharted islands and villages. Ushered through her young life by a father who loves adventure, women, and extremes, Rebecca befriends “working girls” in the ports they visit (as they are often the only other females present in the bars that they end up in) and, on the boat, falls in love with her crewmate and learns to live like the men around her. But her driven nature and the role models in the books she reads make her determined to be a lady, continue her education, begin a career, live in a real home, and begin a family of her own. Once she finally gets away from the boat and her dad and sets to work upon making her own dream a reality, however, Rebecca begins to realize life is not what she thought it would be—and when her father dies in a tragic accident, she must return to her old life to sift through the mess and magic he has left behind.

Book Description
From the dazzling ballrooms of glittering London society to magnificent, cursed estate in the distant wilds of Yorkshire, comes the deliciously wicked story of a thoroughly unconventional courtship—and a thrilling midnight rendezvous that could only lead to love. . . . At four and twenty Victoria Huntington thought herself quite adept at fending off fortune hunters . . . until she came under siege from Lucas Colebrook, the darkly disturbing new Earl of Stonevale. Amidst the brightly plumed birds of the town, Lucas was a hawk. And when he held out the lure of moonlit rides and wild, reckless midnight escapades, Victoria found herself powerless to resist. But becoming Stonevale’s companion in adventure was far more dangerous undertaking than Victoria could ever imagine. For the attractive Earl would use her every weakness to woo her, to win her, and ultimately to wed her. And soon the amber-eyed lady would find herself ensconced in a crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside . . . where the real reason for her hasty marriage becomes all too apparent . . . and where the ghosts of her dark-stained past are waiting to rise up in a terrifying plot that will threaten her life, her honor, and the only man she could ever love.

Book Description
Can a team of renowned archaeologists and scientists find a way to save Earth’s impending doom? The catastrophic scenario began one day, while out in the Valley of the Kings, in southern Egypt, an American archaeologist named Sebastian, uncovered a small tomb of an ancient architect buried in the sands. He found cradled in the arms of this mummy a floor plan, drawn on a papyrus, to an unidentified structure. Sebastian is amazed by his discovery, because no papyri had ever been found buried with a mummy before. He placed great importance in what he had uncovered, as he believed that the plans were meant to be taken into the afterworld with the deceased architect, and kept there as a secret for all eternity. The secret would have revealed who or what was entombed there forever. Sebastian’s long and tedious search to identify the mysterious structure leads him to a secret tomb buried under the tomb of King Tutankhamen. What he discovers in the hidden chambers below is more than just another mummy. It is the remains of a revered deity, and an alien, who lived amongst the Egyptians as one of their most important God’s. He was the God Osiris. Sebastian, along with his close friends, Ben-Josef and Lucas, also archaeologists, comb through thousands of artifacts and hundreds of papyri, which leads to the discovery of incredible alien secrets. These secrets, in turn, lead them to theorize about a Counterweight Theory, and the discovery of a hidden chamber under the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza. What they find amazes the world’s scientific community. Along the way, they encounter an alien spacecraft and alien scientific relics, which are able to come to life while holding them in their hands. Another important discovery, crucial to Earth’s survival, was also discovered hidden away in the pyramid’s chamber. Will the alien’s save Earth, or will they turn their backs to Earthlings, and leave the planet to its doomed destiny? The story unfolds in the pages of this book.

From the USA Today–bestselling author. “Lucas and Emma are a bewitchingly perfect pair in this heartfelt and masterful forbidden office romance.” —RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars) Money, charm and sensual skills don’t make up for a heart colder than ice . . . Wild parties, wanton women, relentless work—nothing helps tycoon Lucas Jackson escape his dark and haunting past. Arriving at his rural castle in a snarling snowstorm, he craves only complete isolation . . . But it seems oblivion can take an unexpected and highly intoxicating form! Personally delivering the vital file left on her boss’s desk, secretary Emma Gray starts to seriously regret her dutiful overtime mission. She never expected the dark side of the usually controlled Lucas could generate such a primitive, powerful—and entirely inappropriate—reaction. Praise for the novels of Sarah Morgan “Emotional, riveting and uplifting.” —Susan Mallery, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Snappy dialogue, well-developed characters mix with sweet romantic tension.” —Publishers Weekly “Sweet, sexy and funny.” —Library Journal

Book Description
THE FIRST PSY/CHANGELING NOVEL from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian... The book that Christine Feehan called "a must-read for all of my fans." In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation”—the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was…Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion—and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities—or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation…
