That Cold Feeling

In a struggle to escape his past, Rex Dalton is unleashed against those who prey on the innocent.

To stay alive, Dalton must live as though he’s dead, and fleeing to India with his military dog, Digger, is the ideal escape. Heading for Kapal Mochan, Dalton wants more than just refuge. He intends to dip his hand in the sacred spring, a powerful act of purification aimed at shedding his violent past once and for all.

But Dalton’s resolve is tested when a mysterious man reveals that his daughter is missing. Unable to turn away, he and Digger plunge into a perilous investigation that leads from an unscrupulous money lender in Mumbai to an illicit arms dealer in Saudi Arabia, and a shadowy criminal underworld of suffering, exploitation, and death.

As Dalton delves deeper, he discovers it’s not just the girl who is in peril. Countless others are caught in an unimaginable web of despair. But to help, he must first ensure his own survival, and that may be the greatest challenge of all.

A kingdom in peril, a frog with an attitude, and a girl with a plan.

Once a prince, now a frog, Roland is fading fast. His memories are slipping away, but he isn’t concerned. Life as a frog hurts less when you can’t remember what you’ve lost.

His quiet existence is shattered when Clara arrives, stuffs him in a sack, and insists she can give him the help he does not even realize he needs. In return, she asks for his help as well. As a human, Roland possessed a rare magical Gift, the only power that can defeat a dangerous witch. All he needs is a kiss from a princess, and fortunately for him, Clara knows exactly where to find one.

Together they scheme to win the princess’s kiss. Yet the more time they spend side by side, the more tangled their plans become.

Because sometimes true love finds you in the last place you expect.

Hens and homicides in a cozy slice of paradise.
Mele Kalikimaka!

It’s Christmas in Maika’i, Hawaii, and Saffron is planning a party at the egg farm. The whole town is invited! With fresh Christmas malasadas, Santa cruising in on a canoe, and a live nativity, there will be caroling and clucking all the way!

But how can her Christmas be merry and bright with Nik off to Barbados on a surfing trip and two brothers using her eggs as ammunition in their family feud?

When, in the middle of the festivities, the world’s most prestigious poultry show comes to town, it brings with it four shady suspects, three French hens, two wild-haired rivals, and a murder with a silver cup. Can Saffron get through the holidays without egg on her face?

Welcome to the Wild North, a desolate wasteland where criminals go to hide — if they can outlast the drought and the dangers of the desert. Or the dangers of something else.

Meet Nox, the Coilhunter. A mechanic and toymaker by trade, a bounty hunter by circumstance. He isn’t in it for the money. He’s in it for justice, and there’s a lot of justice that needs to be paid.

Between each kill, he’s looking for someone who has kept out of his crosshairs for quite a while — the person who murdered his wife and children. The trail has long gone cold, but there are changes happening, the kind of changes that uncover footprints and spent bullet casings.

Plagued by nightmares, he’s made himself into a living one, the kind the criminals and conmen fear.

So, welcome, fair folk, to the Wild North. If the land doesn’t get you, the Coilhunter will.

This is a standalone book in the Coilhunter Chronicles series, which can be read in any order.

A holiday romance with a dash of romantic suspense and a former military hero who is so not feeling the festive spirit…

Bah humbug. Bounty hunter Jake Hale hates Christmas. He doesn’t do twinkling lights, festive packages, and you definitely won’t ever catch him singing Christmas carols. What he will do? Track down the worst of the scum out there. The former special ops soldier makes merry by tossing the naughty into prison cells and getting a grand pay day. Ho, ho, ho.

Then a ghost from Christmas past walks through his door.

True Blakely is always at the top of the nice list. Beautiful, sweet, with an innocence that — yep, he might have been tempted to destroy once or twice — she’s there to hire him. There have been a string of dangerous accidents in her life, and True fears that someone is trying to kill her. Not at all the sort of case that Jake would usually take — he hunts down the criminals after they jump bail, not before they’ve even been arrested. But one look into True’s bedroom eyes, and he can’t refuse. Maybe he still is a bit too tempted by the girl who got away… and surely one nice act won’t kill him? For her, he can play the hero.

He’ll close the case and be home in time for Christmas dinner.

Except, on the first morning of his investigation, he finds a dead body. One waiting underneath True’s glittering Christmas tree. The attacks are real, and it’s clear that someone is gunning for True. But Jake is on the job now, and no one is going to hurt her. His protective instincts are in overdrive… and so is the desperate desire that he’s always felt for True. This time, he’s done fighting that desire. He’ll finally show True just how fantastic it can be when you aren’t nice. Welcome to his naughty list.
