A cottage on the Irish coast. A storm. A mysterious stranger . .
Ailis Throckmorton's comfortable word ended when her father died, leaving her nothing except a letter and a locket bearing a single word - Gailbheach. Her father's letter tells her that her destiny lies in Ireland, not in any of the riches he could have bequeathed her. She arrives in Ireland and finds that Gailbheach is a tiny cottage overlooking the sea, complete with its own elaborate fairy tale of everlasting true love and a dark history of love and loss.
On her first night in the cottage, she is visited by the Devil - or so she first thinks when Liam Donlon appears on her steps, seeking shelter from a stormy night. He, too, has been drawn to the cottage, his path determined by his own demons and tales. Together they find that their lives were intricately woven together long before they were born and sometimes fairy tales do come true.

In 1801 Aleyska, White Raven has lived his life torn between two worlds: his mother's people, the Tlingit of Alaska's Yakutat Bay and his father's, the Russian fur hunters ruthlessly dispatching sea otter and Tlingit alike in pursuit of the pelts known as "soft gold." So when he discovers a red-haired slave girl doomed to die at a potlatch, he suspects she is Russian and arranges to have her given to him as a gift. Now, what will he do with the fiery woman in his care?
Cara Tarakanov escaped her brutal father, Russian fur hunter Alex Tarakanov, in a desperate plunge from his ship in the middle of a storm. After months of captivity, she now finds herself captive again. Only this Tlingit master mysteriously speaks perfect Russian and makes it plain he plans to return her to her people at Fort St. Michael. But first he must take her with him to his village where he is to be married in a loveless union that will unite two powerful Tlingit clans. As the snowy months pass, Cara and White Raven fall into a deep, forbidden while Cara finds the family she never had with White Raven's mother, Marisha – a savvy, sharp-tongued medicine woman who takes Cara to be the daughter she never had and teaches her how to survive in brutal Aleyska. The deeper Cara becomes entwined with White Raven's people, the more devastating the secret the bears, a secret that could destroy the fragile peace of southeast Alaska. |

The Gathering
There's something lurking in Loch Ness more deadly than any
relic dinosaur. Millions of tiny,
cryptic organisms have invaded the deep, cold waters of the loch causing oozing
sores and raging insanity in all afflicted.
Enter Dr. Ward Black, an expert in extremeophiles – organisms that live
in otherwise inhospitable locations.
After a career spent tip-toeing along the fine line between real science
and the dreaded title of cryptozoologist, Ward is reluctant to become involved when
he receives a mysterious phone call begging his help, despite the intriguing
female voice on the other end of the call.
Cara is the ancestral leader of her people, a relic group called the Nassanesh who live along the shore of Loch Ness and shun modern life, their lives guided by a book of ancient writings left to them by their distant Celt ancestors. Attuned to the moods and ways of the loch, Cara knows something is terribly wrong when members of her village start to sicken and die from their sacred waters. She seeks out Ward's help, defying her ancient texts and the advice of the village elders. Now, together, Ward and Cara must find out what is killing both villager and tourist alike and if an ancient prediction of a great gathering of beasts will redefine the term 'monster'.

Morning Star
Petey's in the whorehouse again, and his sister, Josie Hardwick, is mad as hell. She told her addled brother not to budge off the wagon seat. But budge he did and wandered off in search of carnal experience in 1866 Independence, Missouri. Fearing for his safety as much as her own hide if her Pa ever finds out, Josie dashes into the saloon and hauls him out by one ear, barreling straight into wagonmaster Caleb McCall's arms. Little does Caleb know that the pint-sized spitfire from Tennessee, sprawled intimately across his body on the saloon floor, will forever change his image of himself and life in general, while accompanying him on an adventure into the tumultuous last days of the mighty Sioux Nation.
