Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am Meredith Gentry, P.I., solving cases in Los Angeles, far from the peril and deception of my real home–because I am also Princess Meredith, heir to the darkest throne faerie has to offer. The Unseelie Court infuses me with its power. But at what price does such magic come? How much of my human side will I have to give up, and how much of the sinister side of faerie will I have to embrace? To sit on a throne that has ruled through bloodshed and violence for centuries, I might have to become that which I dread the most. Enemies watch my every move. My cousin Cel strives to have me killed even now from his prison cell. But not all the assassination attempts are his. Some Unseelie nobles have waited centuries for my aunt Andais, Queen of Air and Darkness, to become weak enough that she might be toppled from her throne. Enemies unforeseen move against us–enemies who would murder the least among us. The threat will drive us to allow human police into faerie for the first time in our history. I need my allies now more than ever, especially since fate will lead me into the arm of Mistral, Master of Storms, the queen’s new captain of her guard. Our passion will reawaken powers long forgotten among the warriors of the sidhe. Pain and pleasure await me–and danger, as well, for some at that court seek only death. I will find new joys with the butterfly-winged demi-fey. My guards and I will show all of faerie that violence and sex are as popular among the sidhe as they are among the lesser fey of our court. The Darkness will weep, and Frost will comfort him. The gentlest of my guards will find new strength and break my heart. Passions undreamed of await us–and my enemies gather, for the future of both courts of faerie begins to unravel.

APHRODITE'S KISS Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award "Like a carnival fun house, full of surprises and just plain good old-fashioned entertainment."-Romance Reviews Today "A true original, filled with humor, adventure and fun!"-RT Book Reviews Zoe Smith might look like your average, ordinary elementary school librarian, but she's about as far from normal as a girl can get. Because Zoe is descended from a line of superheroes ... and as her twenty-fifth birthday approaches, she has to decide if she's going to embrace her heritage (including all the wackiness that comes with X-ray vision and her extraordinary senses) or submit herself for mortalization and be that average, ordinary girl. Considering how lousy she's done so far on all the Council-imposed tests, chucking the whole superhero thing might be very best thing ... especially when she realizes that sexy, private investigator George Bailey Taylor is more than a little interested in her-and he's more than a little convinced that Zoe is one-hundred percent "the girl next-door." An ex-cop turned PI, George Bailey Taylor's had one hell of a life being bounced around from foster home to foster home. All he wants now is a normal life with a normal wife in a normal neighborhood. The typical American dream-and when he meets Zoe Smith, he's certain she's the typical American girl. Except she does have an overprotective brother who seems able to appear and disappear at will. And a creepy cousin who's always lurking about. And why does everyone in her family pretend to actually talk to the pet ferret? With her super powers, Zoe can do just about anything ... except make Taylor fall in love with her. For that, they're both going to need a different kind of magic ...
