The black market in antiquities is thriving. Stolen artifacts slip into the United States every year, each one carrying buried secrets, power, or the kind of history people kill for. Behind velvet ropes and inside glass cases, a quiet crime wave spreads through museums, galleries, and private collections. Built to stop this shadow trade, the Antiquities Trafficking Task Force has one mission: shut it down. No politics. No compromises. Only results. Ellis Parker is the A.T.T.F.’s wildcard. A child of the seventies with a mind that moves sideways, he’s still figuring out how to navigate a modern world that moves too fast and asks too many questions. But when a seemingly harmless Egyptian relic disappears from a Manhattan District Attorney’s Office evidence locker, a simple follow-up leads to ancient secrets, powerful enemies, and a conspiracy that could rewrite history. The past bites back, and Ellis is about to be caught in its jaws. Secrets, legacy, and peril converge in The Modern Pharaoh, book one of the Ellis Parker series, revealing the fragile line between destiny and desire, power and ruin, and leaving readers questioning what is real and what is written in history’s shadow.Show book

Now, after years of watchful servitude, Deri finally spots a chance to buy not only his freedom but also his place amongst the Market’s elite when he stumbles into the path of a runaway princess desperate to sell her royal destiny. But news of the missing princess and her wayward destiny spreads. Royal enforcers and Master Merchants alike are after it. Outmanoeuvring them all would all be hard enough had Deri not just also met the love of his life, a young man called Owain, whose employers are using the Market for their own nefarious schemes. Deri soon finds that the price of selling the royal destiny, making a name for himself, and saving the man he loves is dear. The cost of it all might just change the destiny of London forever.Show book

When a challenge comes along that should be resisted, is it best to fight the urge or just say screw it? Shane Fletcher loves his job as a state trooper. Even more so when he gets to work undercover. When the DEA creates a task force to stop the trafficking of meth into Pennsylvania by the Deadly Demons, an outlaw MC, Fletch jumps on the chance to be involved. The Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force is not only made up of some of his own Blue Avengers MC brotherhood, but with law enforcement from other agencies. Including Nova Wilder, a special agent with the FBI. A kick-ass, no-nonsense woman whose specialty is fighting organized crime. When Fletch and Nova go undercover with the Dirty Angels MC, they’re forced to work as partners, share an apartment and pretend they’re a couple. Only, living in close proximity and acting like a biker and his ol’ lady ends up being the easy part. What proves to be the most difficult is trying to resist each other for the sake of not screwing up the assignment. As it turns out, the Demons aren’t the only problem they have to deal with. Unbeknownst to them, a much more powerful threat is lurking and ready to strike. Note: Beyond the Badge: Fletch is the first book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s HIGHLY recommended to read this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers.Show book
