All her friends are married, and she’s alone, still trying to outrun a tragedy from her past. Then she meets a handsome stranger.

Angela, a member of a large, loving Italian family, is facing thirty-five with no baby in the nursery. Eight years of infertility treatments have put a strain on her marriage. Will she have to choose between her husband and having a child? When she is mugged by an unexpected assailant, her life takes a new turn.

She goes back to where it all began, the mother she left behind, and the man whose heart she once broke.

What if a teenage outcast on the verge of suicide discovered he was the reincarnation of one of the Eight Immortals of Chinese folklore?

In DREAMS OF THE IMMORTAL, Alex Bennett makes this discovery and is thrust into a battle between ancient Chinese gods for a sword that disappeared when he was murdered in his last life.

Now, Alex is the only person who can know where that sword is. The only problem is that he has no memory of the sword or of his prior existence. It is only by learning to let go of the artifice of mind and body that Alex has built in this life, that he can hope to rediscover his original self, find the sword, defeat a hidden enemy, and reclaim a stolen love. Ultimately, Alex learns that only by waking from the dream of life may one become truly immortal.

 

 

 

OF NOBLE BIRTH

He was a man who took what he wanted. And he wanted her.

To escape her cruel stepfather, seamstress Alexandra Cogsworth envisioned sailing far from England…though not as a captive aboard a pirate’s ship.

Pirate captain Nathaniel Kent’s strategy for exacting revenge on his coldhearted father involved taking a valuable hostage…not a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his half sister.

Yet fate has designs of its own, landing them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At sea, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his father’s ships, all the while tormented by his illicit hunger for the tempting prisoner he thinks is his blood relation. And although Alexandra wants no part in this terrifying voyage, to reveal her true identity to the handsome, blue-eyed Nathaniel would invite danger. Not only would she become worthless cargo, but the revelation would surely unleash what she and Nathaniel have been fiercely battling–a rising undercurrent of impossible desire that could sweep them away for good.

HONOR BOUND

To some men honor is just a word….

Jeannette Boucher, a young French beauty from a family left penniless by the revolution, must marry against her will to save them all from ruin. But almost immediately after the vows are spoken, she learns that her old English husband is impotent—and in his desire for an heir, he plans to compromise her in the worst way.

Determined to escape such a fate, she stows away on one of His Majesty’s frigates. But a woman alone is in constant danger.

To Lieutenant Treynor, honor means everything….

Born a bastard to a wayward marquise, Lieutenant Crawford Treynor was given to a poor farmer to raise and was maltreated until he ran away to join the Royal Navy. Treynor is determined to prove he’s as good as any other man and rise to captain his own frigate. But once he finds Jeannette aboard The Tempest he must decide whether to return her to the man he knows would abuse her—or risk everything, even his life, to keep her safe.

But the dream soon becomes a nightmare when the artists arrive and not a single one can create anything — except trouble, that is.
