When the lines are drawn, will you risk your life to cross them for love?

In the Summer of 1988, tragedy hits home for Charlene Jacobson and her father when her little brother is killed playing a game of basketball in their Detroit housing projects.  She soon finds herself living in the small rural town of Millersville, Georgia, with her estranged grandmother. Millersville is a place where time stands still and the racial divide is as prevalent as the 1950s.  Secrets, lies, and betrayal lurk in every corner. Yet, through it all she finds solace in the arms of Ryan Quinn, a white senior track star and the son of the town Sherriff.  

Will their love cross the finish line?

She didn’t believe in love at first sight, yet when she met Fabian she believed in anything. Even the belief of her death at the hands of her lover…

In the right corner is Jaycee Cristoforo. He's at the top of his profession as a sports entertainer. He's sexy and with millions of adoring female fans Jaycee knows he can have nearly any woman in the world but feels he is still missing something.

When these two meet will they find what they are looking for?

A one night stand many years ago is still on the mind of Chase DuPont.  Will he ever see her again??

Lila James knows that her friendship with seventeen year old Chase Almeida is extremely inappropriate, but she still isn't prepared when his older brother Jack decides to tell her just how inappropriate it actually is-- inadvertently igniting a fire that had been burning quietly inside of them for years.

*****Lila's Thunder has been removed for editing, refining and if all goes according to plan, publishing! I couldn't have finished it without all my readers leaving their words and thoughts--even if I didn't always like them--so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. <3

His greatest gift....

He sits on the floor blanketed by dust, chipped paint and years of abandonment and waits. He hasn't to wait too long and soon Beethoven's Appassionata fills the air, the quiet and ominous arpeggios of the first movement, full of longing echoes through his very bones.

There is nothing else in this moment but the beauty of the melody cosseting him into a world unlike any he's ever known. The transition is gradual. Colors creep in from the edges of his vision turning his monochrome prison into a realm of diluted colors. The strains of piano chords ascend and descend skimming effortlessly over complex intervals with dexterity.

It is wondrous. Tints of violets, reds and greens wash over the gray coolness of his vision, giving him the ability to see color. Three months now she's been able to do this. Gift Cyvian with the impossible.

Will be his ultimate downfall...

In the ongoing war between Bloodletters and Werekins, demon mercenary Cyvian's allegiance is no one but himself. Having struck a deal with the Bloodletter king to keep the demons from his territory in exchange for temporary solace in his city, he does exactly that. But when that contract is broken, threatening the life of the human female he has vowed to protect, nothing and no one will stop him from keeping her safe.

(The amazing picture of my hero doesn't belong to me, but from a great artist on Deviantart!)

Shonti Brown, Chicago socialite and events/party blogger, is stuck in Hohenwald, TN due to her late grandfather’s, a man she barely knew, unusual stipulation of her having to stay two weeks on her newly inherited farm if she wanted to keep the farm in the family or the other partner, Richard Vaughn, would get full ownership of the farm.  Shonti goes through an emotional roller coaster as she tries to cope with living in the shadow of her late grandfather and falling in love, reluctantly, with Richard.

Esther Hendrickson has loved teaching young children, mainly because she cannot have children of her own. What was once society's trophy wife, her abusive past has led her deep into dementia, but the love of hardened FBI agent A.J. Thomas may be just what she needs to heal her torn heart.
