Summary

It was an icy morning, one of those where you want to stay in bed until the sunlight bothers you so much that you can’t help but get up. 
I looked around me, contemplating the framed photographs on my bedroom walls. There were maybe a hundred, or maybe more: I had lost count. They were all framed: white, black blue… made out of wood,  brass, silver… in an effort to make each one unique, different from the rest. Each one of those photos was a memory, or at least had tried to be, a moment, an image of the present turned into the past in an instant. 
I don’t know what to call it, maybe an obsession, but I had a need for it: to immortalise people, to keep their memory alive so that in time someone could see them and know what they had done. But it was only an illusion.

    For an Angel, the punishment for sinning is damnation; there are no exceptions. 
     
     
     
    On Her sacred orders, the Archangel Medrion is tasked with breaking my spirit and casting me into the pit. Most angels would hate tormenting and humiliating one of their own, but the smile on his face as he works burns itself into my mind. 
     
     
     
    My resistance is about to break, when something goes horribly wrong. Instead of the pit, I Fall to Earth, only to find myself in the hands of a Tyrant worse than Lucifer. He's dangerous, powerful, and the scent of corruption and sin roll off him, drawing me inexorably in. 
     
     
     
    The Tyrant offers me a choice. 
     
     
     
    Submit to him and help him kill my former captor or refuse his rule and suffer a fate worse than damnation. 
     
     
     
    Both paths lead to ruin, but only one leads towards my growing desire for vengeance.

    Aunt Finola might be dead, but she's still interfering from the grave in this quirky, small town, only one bed, friends to lovers romance. 
      
    Traveling nurse Bellamy Chase is only back in Eden's Ridge for the reading of her great aunt's will, then it's back to work in Savannah. The last thing she expects to find when she stops to assist at an accident scene is her globetrotting best friend who's been gone for years. 
      
    Five years and thousands of miles haven't dimmed the attraction Graham Northrop feels for his best friend, and he's through running. That he made it in time to back her up against her hateful, money-grubbing family was just a bonus. Especially when it turns out she's inherited her great aunt's house—the one she hasn't been back to since a childhood trauma sent her running. 
      
    The terms of the will insist she spend one night locked in the house to take possession. She'll never make it alone. Good thing Graham's here. Maybe the forced proximity will give her the opportunity to finally pry out of him why he really left all those years ago.

    She's not the only one who likes to nibble. 
     
     
     
    Selene's spent her entire life keeping her emotions in check to avoid wolfing out in public. She's single, but not by choice. Not many men can handle a woman who turns furry on the full moon—and every time her adrenaline gets pumping. She's just about given up on love when she meets Dante. 
     
     
     
    The insufferable man is on the same cruise as her and, for some reason, pursues her. As if she'd ever date a womanizer. Despite her issues with keeping her lycan side leashed, Selene is holding out for love with a nice guy, not some rich Italian playboy with suits that cost more than her entire wardrobe. However, Dante is tenacious, and when pirates board the ship, he proves to be more courageous than expected. 
     
     
     
    Those scurvy scoundrels chose the wrong Valentine's Day party to crash, and as the bodies begin to pile up, it soon becomes obvious that the ferocious Selene isn't the only one chomping on bad guys. 
     
     
     
    Here's to hoping by the time the cruise ends, Cupid gives her the one thing she's been longing for; a lover who won't mind if she growls—and bites—in bed.

She does have one regret though, she never got to make that one big important antique find of a lifetime. Now that her mother’s illness has brought her back to Lobster Bay, it’s unlikely she ever will.

    When an unusual opportunity presents itself, Andie is excited... until she finds out the fate of her new project is in the hands of the unscrupulous Damien Carruthers. Andie caught him ripping off little old ladies, and he’s giddy with excitement at the prospect of ruining her new plans.  
    Then there’s her old high school flame, Shane Flannery. Even though Andie was the one to break things off decades ago, she never really got over him. Shane is back in town too, but unfortunately he doesn’t seem to be the least bit interested in her. 
    Shane’s Aunt Mary, on the other hand, has taken quite a liking to Andie. Mary would love to see Shane and Andie together. Mary and Andie have gotten close. But Mary is nursing a painful heartache - she had a falling out with her daughter years ago and they haven’t spoken since. Can Andie help fill that hole? 
    Jules Whittier messed up her life. That’s how she ended up cutting hair in her great-aunt Mary’s hair salon. She blew her big chance, but it wasn’t totally her fault. She had some help in the form of her two cousins whom she hasn’t spoken to since. When she sees things turn around for Andie, she wonders if it can happen for her too, or is it too late?
