There's no shortage of fire between them, and after an impulsive night together, Josh discovers a story he never expected--or bargained for.

The Sparrow and the Vixens Three
The Tales of the Sparrow, Book 2
The Sparrow and The Hawk are back!
When the mystical, cursed necklace called the Carmaletta Choker showed up in San Francisco, the NAS (Normal, Abnormal and Strange) Agency paired their top agent, Jillie Hart, code name The Sparrow, with mysterious agent and shapeshifter Griff Ryland, known as The Hawk. Jillie and Griff posed as documentary makers in an effort to retrieve the choker, but they failed in their mission.
Now its curse is more powerful than ever, and the universe hovers on the brink of collapse. While most of the world remains unaware, in Hollywood, a new production company is casting a film about two people seeking a necklace with mystical powers—a tale too reminiscent of the real life Carmaletta Choker. Jillie and Griff are determined to stay close to the action, and they once again pair up under the guise of shooting a documentary—this one on the making of the new film.
They are unaware that Declan, the sinister shapeshifter who had previously applied his black powers to locating the necklace, and Gailan, an ancient earth mother who dwells in The Garden of the Gods, have teamed up with three kitsune (Japanese werefoxes) who are masquerading as the stunningly seductive vixens Delphie, Delilah, and Diana. The kitsune must lure Jillie and Griff into their trap and seduce Griff into joining the side of evil and helping them recover the necklace.
Conflicted by her mixed feelings of love, desire and anger toward Griff’s seeming personal and professional betrayal, Jillie has no choice . . . to save the world, The Sparrow must first save The Hawk. But how can she compete against the power of three magically enchanting kitsune?

The Sparrow and the Hawk
The Tales of the Sparrow, Book 1
Jillie Harte, code name the Sparrow, a documentary film maker is an agent for the NAS (Normal, Abnormal, Strange)
Agency. Her assignment—find The Carmaletta Choker before it falls into the wrong hands and destroys the world.
Franklin Doherty and associates are suspected of having the choker, and they are definitely the wrong hands! To get
close to Franklin, Jillie is producing a film on "Decoration, Fashion and Accessories Throughout History," featuring
his antique collection. Her assignment is complicated by Griff Ryland, her new, hot cameraman, who is also looking for
the necklace. Griff is an enigma. Is he friend or foe? And why is she so distracted by his "pure sex on a stick" appeal?
Like the Sparrow, Griff, aka the Hawk, needs to retrieve the choker. It disappeared from his dimension years before, and his job is to bring it back. Since he can shapeshift into a hawk or a mountain lion at a moment's notice, Griff feels certain of success. But he doesn't bargain for a sassy, sexy redhead—and for his overwhelming urge to settle their differences in bed.
Now Griff and Jillie must not only overcome the deadly dark forces who want the choker, but they must also face their developing relationship.
And they thought saving the world from evil and chaos was hard!!!!

Million Dollar Mistake
Million Dollar Men, Book 1
Taking care of business may cost him his heart.
In addition to overseeing the financial affairs of the wealthy Kristoff family, Nicholas Demetrious specializes in hauling its rambunctious members out of trouble. Especially his distant cousin, Raven Rutledge.
The tabloids love her bad-girl antics, sexy pout, and body made for sin. Nicholas would love to spank the bejesus out of her, but this time the situation is too serious to entertain such a fantasy. A lucrative business deal with the Exeters is in jeopardy, and Jackson Exeter Sr.'s ultimatum is clear: Remove this man-eater from my country house, or the deal is off.
Raven is in way over her head. She accepted the invitation to the Exeters' Adirondack house party as a refreshing change from her jet-setting lifestyle—until she learns the guest list includes his entire family. His ex-girlfriend. And the junior Exeter's intention to propose.
If ever she needed suave, sophisticated Nicholas's persuasive powers, it's now. Then he's there with a plan to get her out of this tangle: sweep her off her feet. But their pretend passion turns all too real. And what started out as a weekend of fun threatens to shatter into betrayal and heartbreak.
Warning: Contains a tabloid sweetheart who loves to be bad, a sexy hero with little patience for mind games, and a game of strip pool that will make you rethink your weekend plans.
