Sinopsis

This novel revolves around Mr. Ernest Bliss, a rich young man of twenty-five. His life revolves around parties and making merry. When his digestion becomes irritated by this way of life, he visits a doctor, Sir James Aldroyd because he feels out of sorts. The physician asked him a series of questions. Bliss informs Sir James he does nothing because he is wealthy and inherited from both his father and uncle.   The doctor tells him that if wishes to enjoy good health, he must completely change his manner of living. The doctor asks him to get a real job. When the doctor refuses to shake his hand, Bliss screams angrily that he could leave that day in an old suit with five pounds in his pocket and make an honest living for a year. If he fails, he promises to pay for the construction of a new hospital. With that, the spoiled young man embarks on an adventure that will never take him outside of London but will expose him to the struggles of ordinary people to survive.

Busy flower shop manager Evita Machado can't wait to get to Nantucket. With a bad breakup behind her, relaxing at the shore with her folks and her brothers and their families sounds like the sure cure for heartache, and their vacation destination looks like an amazing place! But when they arrive at the quaint rose-covered cottage, another group has already put down stakes: the Hatfields. Ryan Hatfield was Evita's former crush from high school, but their business rival moms refused to let them date. Now history professor Ryan is here for a week with his parents, who won them this oceanfront rental in a society silent auction. Once it's clear there's been a double-booking due to a bidding mistake, Ryan's mom digs in her heels, meaning to stay. When Evita's mom won't back down either, both sides tepidly agree to share the luxury accommodations by dividing the cozy space. With the boisterous Machados livening things up and the strait-laced Hatfields tamping them down, can Evita and Ryan keep the peace between the warring factions while fostering a growing chemistry between the two of them?

It's all fun and games until someone gets killed. 
Meet Jax Diamond, a sharp, sophisticated, skilled, no-nonsense private detective. Or is he? Glued to his side is his canine partner, Ace, a fierce and unrelenting German Shepherd whose mere presence terrorizes criminals into submission. Well, maybe not. 
But the two of them are a whole lot smarter than they look. And they have their hands full when a playwright’s death is declared natural causes, and his new manuscript worth a million bucks is missing. 
Laura Graystone, a beautiful rising Broadway star, is dragged into the heart of their investigation, and she’s none too happy about it. Especially when danger first strikes, and she needs to rely on her own ingenuity to save their hides. 
Join Jax, Laura and Ace on a fun yet deadly ride during the Roaring Twenties that takes twists and turns, and a race against time to find the real murderer before he/she/they stop them permanently.

A possessive dragon shifter. A girl determined to kill him. A fated connection they can’t deny. 
Lenora Tashe is nothing special. 
Which is why the village decides to sacrifice her to the obsidian dragon that’s been terrorizing them for decades. 
But Lenora has her own plan. She’s going to stop the dragon shifter from ever threatening her homeland again—or die trying. 
What she doesn’t count on is the fact the dragon spends half his time as a man who can be as infuriating or as seductive as he pleases. 
And when he discovers Lenora isn’t just some simple village girl but actually his fated mate, the one creature that can withstand his dragon flame and calm the beast within? 
Things begin to heat up… 
To Wed an Obsidian Villain is a spicy enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance with a heroine who has nothing to lose and a dragon who loves nothing more than spoiling his human. 
Narrated in dual format with Maya Gloss and Jack Calihan.
