RAINE: THE LORDS OF SATYR
Release Date: March 2008, Kensington Aphrodisia

In Tuscany s centuries-old wine country, three half-Satyr brothers receive a letter that sends them in search of three endangered half-Faerie brides. 
Handsome middle brother Raine has been wed before to a wife who was repulsed by his carnal needs. Each month at Moonful, the Satyr change physically and are driven by the darker side of their natures to indulge in a nightlong ritual in a sacred gathering place ringed with ancient statues.
Though Raine wants no part of another marriage, he searches out the second half-Faerie (Jordan) in Venice. She turns out to be far different than he could ever have imagined, and she is living a dangerous lie.  As the winegrape harvest begins, he finds himself competing with a nightmarish suitor.

When his wife died after giving birth to Jax, John Markson blamed the vampire who'd bitten his pregnant wife for his loss and he dedicated his life to ridding the world of all vampires. After Jax's vampire-hunter father is viciously killed, she takes up the reins where he left off. Her first order of business: Take out the vampire who killed her father.

Ian (The Enforcer) Mordoor has a job to do. Before he can take over the Bruen vampire clan's leadership position, Ian vows to hunt down Drace, the rogue vampire who brutally killed a human vampire hunter named John Markson. What Ian doesn't expect to find during his quest is his mate in a human vampire hunter named Jax — a woman who'd rather kill than kiss him.

THE CONCUBINE COVER THE CONCUBINE (w/a Natasha Perry)
Release Date: December 2005, Wicked Castle

Melissa Markham wasn’t pretty in the conventional manner of the day, but she was unique, and he sensed the heart of a siren deep within her. The fact that she appeared to be of a mixed race, English and possibly Chinese intrigued him. Also, her English words were accented, another indication she was likely from another place. She intrigued him!

She’d been taught the secrets of the concubine at her mother’s knee – had learned how to make men howl at her feet, that is all men with the exception of the earl. That man was the devil incarnate, and nothing – no words or actions could sway him from his evil ways.

The very idea of making Trent desire her thrilled her, which was another reason she wouldn’t be able to stay. Ethan Trent was too tempting!
