  In the heart of an uncharted ocean, far from any shore, stands a towering tree unlike any other, a tree that holds life, death, and secrets deep within its ancient bark. This is The Mystery Tree House, a refuge and a curse for the shipwrecked souls who find themselves marooned on its immense roots.
   
  When a fierce storm leaves a diverse band of survivors stranded on this colossal tree, they soon discover its life-sustaining waters and mystical properties. Led by Warrior Is Born, a West African sailor turned reluctant leader, they carve out a new society within the tree’s 
  hollowed trunk. But beneath the paradise they build, shadows lurk, dark forces that threaten to unravel their fragile existence. As they struggle to survive and understand the tree’s mysterious power, the tree house reveals its true nature, a place where treachery festers as deeply as the roots that anchor it to the sea floor.
   
  As Warrior Is Born ascends to kingship, he must navigate a web of power struggles, ancient prophecies, and supernatural forces. The stakes are nothing less than the survival of his people and the very soul of the tree itself. The Mystery Tree house is a gripping tale of leadership, sacrifice, and the eternal battle between human ambition and the natural world’s inscrutable power. Discover a world where myth and reality intertwine, and every decision could be their last.

  London is in flux. The clop of the hansom cab has given way to the madness of the motorcar. And Sherlock Holmes, safe in the bee-loud glades of the Sussex downs, is lured back to London when a problem is posed to him by Dr. Watson and Watson's friend, Col. Higgins. Is the transformation of Eliza Doolittle from girl of the streets to duchess more than it seems? Is it really the work of Henry Higgins's phonetics lessons or has another girl been substituted for her, and why? Has the original girl been murdered? Even Eliza’s father can't say for sure. 
   
   
   
  Posing as a rich American gangster, Holmes infiltrates the Higgins household. He meets Freddy, a seemingly ubiquitous suitor, and the mysterious Baron Von Stettin, Bavarian attaché. He brushes up against a doctor whose potions can turn Eliza from a spitfire into a kitten. And he faces a deadly enemy who had been thought dead for twenty years. The world of Sherlock Holmes will never be the same.

  Sequel to Leather and Tea
  Retired secret agent Ben Smith has never been happier: married to his romance-novelist husband, settled into their life together, learning to bake scones because Simon likes them. But all Ben's training and skills can't deflect the car accident, or the injuries. Simon's not badly hurt, but Ben can't stop thinking about it. He promised to keep Simon safe, in bed and out of it. But what if he can't? 
  It's been three weeks. Simon's been going crazy. He's completely fine now, but his husband keeps treating him like glass, fragile and breakable. Simon isn't breakable, though, and misses Ben's hands, the touch of leather, cuffs and caresses and the thrill of submission. 
  He's just going to have to prove to his husband he's safe and alive and ready for anything. And he's a romance writer, after all, so he's going to make this a perfect scene, and a morning to remember.
