  The shadows hold secrets darker than they ever imagined. . . . 
   
  In 1888 Victorian England, Ami Dalton navigates a clandestine dual life. By day, she strives to establish herself as a respected Egyptologist, overcoming the gender biases that permeate academia. But with a heart for saving black-market artifacts from falling into the wrong hands, she is most often disguised as her alter ego, the Shadow Broker. 
   
  After eight years in India, Oxford's most eligible bachelor, Edmund Price, has come out of the shadows to run for Parliament and is in search of an Egyptologist to value a newly acquired collection. Expecting a renowned Oxford professor, Edmund instead finds himself entangled with Ami, the professor's determined daughter. As they delve into the treasures, their connection deepens, but trouble emerges when a golden griffin--rumored to bear the curse of Amentuk--surfaces, and they're left to wonder if the curse really is at play, or if something more nefarious is hiding among the shadows. . . . 
   
  "Don't miss all the romance, adventure, and danger in [this] new page-turner."--JULIE KLASSEN, bestselling author of Shadows of Swanford Abbey

  But demons lurk in the shadows and they are reaching for Ianthe. Quinn must rescue her before her heart and life are lost forever…

  So damn sweet, I cause cavities. 
   
   
   
  S'up? I'm Candy. Excuse the name. Mom was a stripper back in her prime and I was a client gone wrong. Now stuck behind the bar, she was eager for me to join the family business. No thanks. 
   
   
   
  The only circles I run in are the ones my bubblegum bubbles make. Don't worry about my teeth though, sugar-free as always. I'm not a complete psycho. Oh, except for my passive-aggressive, potty-mouthed, imaginary best friend who happens to be a gummy bear. That part is pretty nuts. 
   
   
   
  I was thoroughly enjoying myself, doing whatever the hell I wanted until a group of model-worthy bikers try to muscle in on my heist. They don't seem to realize those with barely any personal belongings tend to grow protective of what's theirs, and by taking one of my beloved possessions, they've signed their own death warrants. 
   
   
   
  Fooling them with a sickly sweet smile, I'll slip past their defenses and claim back what's rightfully mine, no matter the cost. Putting bullies back in their place when no one else can is my specialty. No one screws over Candy Crystal twice. 
   
   
   
  P.S. yeah—stripper name game is on point. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Nightfall

  In 1884, in a history very different from our own, the world stood on the verge of war. Once again, the Russian and British Empires faced each other across the Mississippi. Then the first trans-temporal portal was developed on the Nayarit Line and history changed - again. 
  A hundred years later the Cross-Temporal Empire consisted of fifty-four parallel, alternate Earths. The death of First Leader Manek splits the ruling Council, and the Clemhorn family finds itself drawn into the struggle. A struggle not only for the future of the Empire, but for their lives; in a war that will split families and set cousin against cousin. 
  "The first novel in what promises to be an epic multivolume series" - Michael Cnudde (author of War Plan Crimson, A Novel of Alternate History) 
  "'Nightfall' is a combination of classic sci-fi invasion and imperial literature with a compelling plot" - Jo Niederhoff, The San Francisco Book Review
