BLURB:
 Leslie Braddock feels responsible for her husband’s death. She is having trouble reentering the dating scene. Leslie travels back in time where she meets Sir James.

Sir James Winford is a three-time widower. He believes he is cursed and is certain death to any woman he loves. He has vowed never to love again.

Emily, the ghost of Sir James's first wife has unfinished business, and still lingers at Winford Manor. She wants to see her husband happy, and she wants to bring her murderer to justice.

Rose has loved Sir James since childhood. She must live with the unspeakable things she has done trying to make James see her as more than a child. She believes she is close to achieving that goal when Leslie shows up.

Leslie and Sir James share the experience of losing a loved one. Will Leslie be the woman to break the curse? Or will she be just another victim.



TEASER / EXCERPT:

A middle-aged woman in Gypsy garb, complete with kerchief around the head, jewelry, and bangles, answered. “Come in,” she said as she opened the door.

Leslie stepped up and entered a scene straight from the movies. Heavy curtains, beads, and ornate upholstery adorned the room. Two chairs and a table were in the center of the room. A crystal ball and a deck of tarot cards were placed off to the side on the table. Both sat patiently waiting for the fortune teller. Incense burned. Its fragrance added to the ambiance of the setting. 

***   The Curse of Winford Manor is a sweet love story perfectly suited to those who enjoy romance and a good story. With only one mildly erotic sex scene, this book is more about the journey love takes than the pleasures of the body.

What about the curse, you ask? Ah...that's where the mystery comes in.

BLURB:
Jennifer Hartstrum has trouble with men. Her relationship with an abusive father left her with a speech impediment that flares up only when she dates. Her friend talks her into trying an exciting new dating experience, the Anonymous Club, a place where a date is an adventure and fantasies can come true. One must choose an alias, and anonymity is guaranteed.

Andrew Martin is looking for a woman who can keep up with him outside of the bedroom as well as in bed. He tries the Anonymous Club with low expectations.

When Jennifer and Andrew meet, it is Chemistry 101. Have they found what they are looking for? In a world of aliases and mystery, is anyone really who they say they are? What happens when anonymity is good for one but not the other?


TEASER / EXCERPT:

“Joe, do we have to go through this again?” Andrew tried to control his temper. “I told you. I’m not interested.” He left the kitchen and plopped down on the sofa.

“You keep saying you want to find someone who can keep up with you in bed,” Joe said from the kitchen as he grabbed a fresh beer from the fridge.

“That’s not exactly what I said. I said I want someone who can keep up with me out of bed as well as in bed.” Andrew took a sip of his beer.

“Whatever,” Joe said as he sat down in the La-Z-Boy across from Andrew. “I’m telling you it’s worth it. In bed, out of bed, it was f**king amazing. They create these elaborate settings. It makes you feel like you’re really there. If nothing else you will appreciate that end of it.”

“Joe,” Andrew warned.

“Look, I’m going to badger you until you agree so why don’t you save us some time and energy and agree now. If you had a money problem, I’d let it go but you don’t, so—”

“Joe...” There was an edge in Andrew’s tone.

“Andy, you know how stubborn I can be.”

“And annoying.”

“Yeah that, too,” Joe said, lifting the bottle to his lips.

“And stupid.”

“Hey, now that’s going too far.”

“I’m sorry. I guess you’re right. I need to change something because I’m not getting anywhere this way.”

“I’m not saying you’ll find your dream girl, but it will be different.”

“A compound sentence or a relative thought from a female. That would be different.”

“I don’t have any trouble talking with women.”

“You”—Andrew pointed his beer at Joe—“need to take a look at your standards.”

BLURB:

The odds are against him, but Jerin will find a way! With or without the gene Kaley will be his…

On Setera, only one in four hundred thousand is born possessing the cryan gene—a gene essential to the survival of the Seteran race. Jerin and the others like him are duty bound to find the match to that gene somewhere in the universe, for it can no longer be found on Setera. With no clear instructions on how this task is to be accomplished it is a daunting undertaking, like finding a needle in a haystack.

Jerin’s assigned quadrant is Earth. After twelve years of searching he is beginning to lose hope, until the answer hits him over the head with a frying pan. Now all he has to do is convince this beautiful, feisty woman to follow him to another universe in a galaxy far far away.


TEASER / EXCERPT:

She breathed in trying to steady her emotions. His scent enveloped her, a manly combination of spices and male musk. She imagined she could smell his desire for her. His breathing became erratic. For long moments, they stood silently feeling an energy flow between them. The comprehension that she’d known him for an eternity possessed her. Emotions crackled and danced between them. An invisible bond was forming ensnaring her with its mystic beauty. Potent and alluring the force grew to almost painful proportions before he moved past her.

She gasped for breath and noticed he’d stepped down into the living room. He was bent over with his hands on his knees. It appeared he was trying to get his breathing under control as well.

“What the hell was that?”

“Salvation,” he muttered.

“What?”

“Miss Sherwood, where will I be staying? I’m not feeling well at the moment. I’d like to lie down.”

He seemed to sway slightly.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

Set up for the teaser – Korina is in the Mystic Museum speaking with the museum’s curator Minerva. In this excerpt, Korina is speaking first.

"I was young and stupid. I should have stayed and owned up to my responsibility. It was my duty to marry. We had been betrothed since birth. I shouldn't have let stories of his ugliness and brutality scare me so."

"If you were given the chance, would you stay and marry?"

“I’m older now." She wrinkled her brow.  "I believe I would. I'd learn to live with it, and I'd try to change it if I could. I would give anything to be able to try."

The woman released her hand.

"A little understanding and compassion can do wonders for a relationship. Remember that when dealing with your husband."

Minerva clasped her hands together at her waist.

"My what?"

The otherworldly face lit up in a beautiful, peaceful and serene smile.

"You have been granted an opportunity to right the wrong you have done.”

Minerva paused and Korina felt her heart leap. 

“The ‘powers that be’ are giving you a chance to find happiness, a chance to do your duty and fulfill your destiny."

Korina barely noticed Minerva’s tiny step backward.

"Safe journey, Korina, remember what you have learned here."

Those words echoed through Korina’s head as the universe tilted and the museum slipped from her view.

TEASER EXCERPT

A naughty teaser:

His hand connected sharply with her flesh three times, and then came to rest almost tenderly caressing her soft and now warm mounds. That caress felt wonderful, causing her anger to fall swiftly away. She could feel her pussy getting wet. She was caught off guard when he suddenly lifted her off his thighs and jumped up from the bale he’d used as a seat. When he released her she was unsteady on her feet. As she tried to gain her balance, she almost fell into his arms. His hands closed around her upper arms as he supported her. He groaned. She looked up into his eyes, her palms on his chest.

The angry eyes that had stunned her were now filled with desire and lust. Desire the likes of which she had never seen. Her pussy reacted to it instantaneously. Of their own accord, her hands moved up his chest. Through her fingertips and palms she noted his rapid breathing. Her body betrayed her and moved into his, a silent invitation.
