Hey everyone!
Some of ya'll may have noticed a lapse in postings recently. Due to an unforeseen discovery at a routine dr appt, I have been on autopilot. Until I know for sure what I'm dealing with I am taking a short sabbatical from blogging. I should be back later in November if the news from the test my dr is running isn't serious. Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers.

Mari’s travels have finally brought her home.

Everything is perfect and just as it always should have been, except for one little detail: Kye. Kye had made it clear that for the future to be correct, things should be different. They aren’t. Now Mari is left to try to find out how to beat Logan without really knowing how to play the game. Making it home wasn’t the end, but just the beginning of her struggles.
Logan has not given up hope of winning over Mari. She might not want to be with him, but it isn’t beyond him to do anything to keep her to himself. Logan cares for no one but her, and he is prepared to do anything to keep her. Mari doesn’t agree with his feelings and can’t wait to be rid of him, once she figures out how. Every time she feels they are getting ahead, Logan finds another way to ruin it. It’s a race to see who can come out on top. Can Mari outlast Logan? Can Mari find a way to make sure her future is the one she wants?

Chrysocolla
Coming soon to:
Person after person approached me to touch my hand and mumble some sort of greeting. I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on, but just played along since my father and Seth both seemed to understand. The crowd around me pressed tightly as more people tried to touch my hand. I got the feeling they understood I wasn’t going to stand around all night doing it, and would walk away as soon as I could.
“Don’t think this changes anything,” a way-too-familiar voice said into my ear. My heart beat faster, and I didn’t want to turn and confirm what I already knew. Logan was in my father’s palace. “You will still be mine. I can see our son is still here, and that’s all I need to know. This changes nothing. Once I find the last stone, I’ll be coming for you and there will be nothing your father can do to stop me.”
I turned to fire a retort at him even though I had no clue what I was going to say. He backed up and flashed me one of his model Logan smiles before fading among the guests who were still trying to touch me. I stared dumbfounded and watched him go.
Coming to my senses, I looked around the room to see if I could see the rest of my family and friends. The mob was too tight, and I just wasn’t tall enough. I dropped my hand and began to push through the mass of people to where my father and mother were. Everyone parted and allowed me through. Seth came out of the crowd also just as easily as I had. When I reached my parents, my father bent down and touched his forehead to mine.
“I’m so happy you returned to us,” he told me.
My mother beamed from beside him. They were beyond happy. This was probably the day they both had been waiting their whole lives for. I couldn’t ruin it by telling them about Logan. I’d have to wait and talk to Kye. This was their wedding day, and they deserved to have it without worry. Even with everything, I was happy to be there with them.
I looked around the hall of people. Once I reached my father, everyone took that as their cue to go back to their little groups and enjoy the night. Seth waited just below us on the stairs as he watched me. I wanted to decipher his smile, but I was too worried now about Logan. I scanned the crowd and my father’s words rung way too true in my head. I was happy to have returned to him, but unfortunately, I wasn’t the only one who returned.

I remember excruciating pain.
I remember unimaginable heat.
I remember an undeniably beautiful young woman.
But I’m not sure whether these things are real.
One year ago, Ash Brandon was framed and sent to an unknown realm where he learnt his fate. A fate where he held the blood of an ancient line of Dragon shifters called Dragon Hearts. The thing is, he can no longer remember. All he knows is that he is a nineteen-year-old guy who wants to study architecture and one day, take over the family business.
Then two beautiful girls show up in his life — one who is sexy as hell and could be the woman of his dreams, while the other claims to have known him from a past he cannot remember. Only there is one thing he can’t wrap his mind around — Why does he crave each of the girls?
A now eighteen-year-old Eva, a powerful Dragon Heart Keeper from the Dragon Realm, is punished by her parents and sent to the earthly realm by her witch maiden. Her memories have all been wiped clean, but why can she still remember Ash, and the undeniable bond they once shared?
Emily is a Siren princess, and she always gets what she wants. When she sets her sights on Ash, all bets are off. She will make him hers — if only his Keeper weren’t in the way.
Will Ash discover who he truly is before its too late? Or will his deadly addiction to both girls get him killed?

FACING FIRE by HelenKay Dimon
HelenKay Dimon returns with
another hot installment of her romantic suspense series featuring the fierce
men of Alliance—a top-secret military security agency—and the only women who
can tame them.
When his uncle is brutally
murdered, Josiah King knows that business just got personal. His uncle’s ties
to the Alliance can mean only one thing: Josiah and his black ops team are
targets, along with everyone they love. Primed for vengeance, Josiah is
determined to unravel the plot—until long-legged redhead Sutton Dahl becomes a
dangerous distraction.
Sutton is very good at uncovering other people’s secrets—and protecting her own. When Josiah bursts into her life she’s torn between pushing him away and asking for his help. Mysterious, strong, and much too sexy, he’s a puzzle she longs to solve, and a temptation she can’t ignore.
Thrown together in the face of Alliance’s most lethal threat, Josiah and Sutton become unlikely partners, fighting for their lives even as the attraction between them flares into real passion. Torn between his team and the woman who means everything to him, Josiah will risk it all to save Sutton, even if that decision is his last.

books have been showcased in numerous venues and her books have twice been
named “Red-Hot Reads” and excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine.
But if you ask her, she’ll tell you the best part of the job is never having to
wear pantyhose again.

“Nail-biting suspense and steamy romance are the
mainstays of this novel, as the protagonists must discover whether their
attractions stems from deeper emotions.”—Publishers
Weekly on FACING FIRE
“The latest high-adrenaline installment in
Dimon’s (Playing Dirty, 2015) Bad
Boys Undercover series delivers plenty of testosterone-fueled action and
smoking-hot sexual chemistry between a rough, tough, alpha hero and a
strong-willed heroine, who is more than his match. Give this one to fans of
Suzanne Brockmann or Cherry Adair.”—Booklist

Run.
I hoofed it like hell hounds snapped at my ankles through the tall grass, pressing the tiny bundle tightly against my chest.
Blair.
The two words swirled in my head, my only thoughts. I couldn’t have imagined the pure evil, the betrayal, the disregard for such a precious package. I ran like the wind, tapping into an unnatural strength, and still, I heard them closing in, coming for me.
Coming for him.
