Tingle Bells (2006)

Justin Clancy is counting on his new invention to make the holiday season bright for his financially struggling family. With a chime guaranteed to sexually arouse any adult, Tingle Bells are the perfect stocking stuffer -- until a cruel hex turns those sexy sounds into ear-splitting croaks. Far more adept at practical sciences than witchcraft, Justin knows he needs expert help fast or the Clancys’ Christmas will go down the tubes.

Trust-fund-wealthy Ramon Ramirez is a private eye certified for metaphysical investigations. He’s also a long-time loner who wishes for connection. Sparks fly between him and Justin the moment they meet, and Ramon falls for Justin -- and his whole family. But neither man is quite ready to give up his heart to the other. Ramon has to work on cracking his solitary armor, and the self-conscious Justin isn’t so sure his new man isn’t just slumming -- or pitying him.

In the midst of grappling with an eccentric family feud, mangled bells and their own personal baggage, Justin and Ramon vow to make things right . . . and stir up a little magic of their own.

Justin Clancy conta sulla sua nuova invenzione per rendere la stagione di festa luminosa per la sua famiglia finanziariamente in pericolo. Con un carillon che garantisce di destare sessualmente qualsiasi adulto, Tingle Bells è il perfetto regalo da mettere nella calza -- fino a che un uomo crudele non trasforma quei suoni sexy in suoni striduli. Molto più abituato alle scienze pratiche che alla magia, Justin sa che ha bisogno dell'aiuto di un esperto velocemente o il Natale dei Clancy andrà a rotoli.

Il danoroso finanziatore Ramon Ramirez è un investigatore privato certificato per indagini metafisiche. È inoltre un solitario da lungo tempo che desidera una relazione. Le scintille volano fra lui e Justin nel momento in cui si incontrano, e Ramon si innamora di Justin -- e della sua intera famiglia. Ma l'altro uomo non è pronto per cedere il suo cuore e Ramon deve lavorare per spezzare la sua armatura solitaria, ed il coscienzioso Justin non è così sicuro che il suo nuovo uomo non sia un inganno -- o non gli stia facendo pietà.

In mezzo a un'eccentrica famiglia, Justin e Ramon giurano di far funzionare le cose. . . e risvegliare un poco di magia essi stessi.

Possession (2006)

When love binds two souls together, what can tear them apart?

Anna Clarke lives in the moors of Northern England. Some may find the landscape bleak, but Anna knows the truth—magic and beauty flow among the heather on the softly rolling hills. She weaves by night and day, aching to capture an echo of the land’s magic and trying desperately to escape, even for a short while, the brutality she endures at her father’s hands.

Nicholas Durand comes to the moorlands with dreams of writing a book, but his hopes are dashed by the hostile treatment he receives from the villagers. He is a stranger, and in this strange and insular land, that is a sin above all others. Only one thing keeps him from returning to London—Anna, the beautiful woman who has woven a spell around his heart.

Though their love is forbidden, Anna and Nicholas determine that no one and nothing—on Earth or in the heavens—will keep them apart. Too bad Fate and Anna’s father have other plans in mind…

A dark, uncanny tale set at the end of the nineteenth century.

Triple Booked (2007)

Jade and Gabe are a perfect match. As lovers and coauthors, they have everything they need and want—almost. All they crave is great success for their writing. When they meet Alex at a party, he has a proposal for them. He wants to collaborate with them on a new literary work. Jade is sure it's a sign—after all, she did just draw the Three of Pentacles in a Tarot reading. But Gabe isn't sure he wants to share his writing—or his lady—with the mysterious Alex, who tests his comfort zones on more than one level.

Little does the happy couple know that Alex is a Mage of the Dionysian Oracle, and he needs to be invited into their partnership to complete his initiation rites. As Gabe and Jade begin to open up to him, though, he soon finds he's not the only one capable of love magic. Alex quickly realizes he'll need to choose—the way of his order or the way of his heart.

Reluctant Goddess (2007)

In vain, K.C. tried to convince the Goddess' consort, Adriac, and the Chief Priestess of the temple that she wasn't the Goddess they were expecting. She didn't know how she'd gotten to Niarofilca, but she was sure she wasn't their Goddess. She was also sure she didn't like the Chief Priestess.

Adriac Mendushar, Lord Pom'diflior, was another matter. In all her fantasies, she hadn't managed to dream up a hero even half as appealing and she was pretty sure she was really going to enjoy the holy copulation part of the deal. She just wasn't crazy about the sacrificing part to the God Xiatace that came directly after the copulation ceremony.
