Sinossi

Misunderstood by Florence Montgomery explores the psychological implications of parent-child relationships. Montgomery writes from the point of view of a young boy who lost his mother at a very early age. Excerpt: "Ever since the nursery dinner has the rain come pouring down all over the fields and meadows, the lawns and gardens, the roofs and gables of old Wareham Abbey, in the county of Sussex. Ever since the cloth was cleared away have two little curly heads been pressed close together at the nursery window, and two pair of eager eyes been watching the clouds and sky."

Dirty Alliance

Peyton Banks

The cockier they are, the harder they fall…

No matter how sexy she looked handling a gun.  
Roxxy Sutton was sent to audit the SWAT team. Her company was hired due to the influx of accusations of police brutality across the nation. She and her team were to ensure that Columbia’s finest had sound protocols and stuck to them. Pouring through procedure manuals just wasn’t as exciting as the tall, dark, and handsome cop.   
Trouble seems to follow Myles wherever he goes. When trouble comes for Roxxy, there is no man more qualified to protect her. 
Dirty Alliance is a steamy African American romance for readers over 18 years and older.

Bradley's hope to go quietly into the night ends with the arrival of the legendary Strike Group 2 and the delivery of a secret so great it could end the war. That's why Lagunia was chosen for its construction. 
 
 
 
Getting the system operational doesn't go as expected leaving Bradley and the Oberon to clean up the mess that has drawn the attention of those they hoped would never find them.

Two Sisters

Lorna Henderson

Sisters are meant to look after each other. But Josie and I have secrets. Just like our mother did. 
 
 
 
My husband and I have moved back into my childhood home: a pretty stone cottage by the sea. Our two kids love the huge garden and the views are breathtaking. The renovations will probably cost twice what they said, but I know it'll be amazing in the end. 
 
 
 
I'm baking a cake when the builder calls me over. 'We've found something.' 
 
 
 
'What do you mean?' 
 
 
 
'Bones,' he says. 'You've got bones buried at the bottom of your garden.' 
 
 
 
The first person I call is my sister Josie. She'll know what to do. We've been there for each other ever since our mother walked out more than twenty years ago. We were just children. The only contact we had was a card on our birthdays—but they suddenly stopped when we reached the age of twenty-one. 
 
 
 
We ask our father about the bones. What he tells us will shatter everything I thought I knew about my family.

Smexy Shenanigans

Ashta Lucía

Luanne and Shawna Gawama head out of Gales Haven for a spontaneous day of adventurous fun. They expect to drink a little too much and dance the night away. Definitely to forget about all the trouble that’s befallen their hometown since their niece Marla’s return. 
Instead, they run smack dab into trouble worse than any Spanx-pilfering leprechauns or back-talking hedgehogs. The kind of trouble not even their powerful family is prepared to face. 
But these redheads know how to weather storms. And they do it together. 
When strangers test the borders of their safe village, the Gawama witches aren’t ready to take them on—but that won’t stop them from kicking ass however they can. They’re resourceful and they don’t give a hoot what anyone thinks of them—a fiery combination. They have better things to worry about, like discovering the best glazed doughnuts and surviving the bond of sisterhood. 
* Smexy Shenanigans is an optional novella in the Witches of Gales Haven series told from Aunt Luanne Gawama's point of view. The story takes place chronologically between book 3, Charmed Caper, and book 5, Homecoming Hijinks. It can be read as a standalone, though it's funnest to read it between books 3 and 5. It isn't necessary to read this novella to continue with Marla Gawama's adventures.
