Collection: Fantasy

Jackie's still adjusting to having a steady boyfriend--not to mention getting used to the fact that Lucas is a death broker/vampire. With the help of his ex-lover Cathryn--whom Jackie doesn't quite trust--they're trying to figure out why Lucas was turned--and by whom.

Jackie's biggest challenge at the moment, though, is creating a winning entry to the annual Perfect Pecan Pie Festival, the premiere food contest in Palm Dunes, Florida. Testing recipes and running her new restaurant are keeping her busy.

But no one's too busy for murder.

When people around local up-and-coming folk singer Crissy Darwin begin turning up dead, Lucas is pulled into the investigation. He and Jackie suspect that Crissy herself is the target. But can they solve the mystery before the killer strikes again--and without ruining the Festival?

Pour yourself a nice glass of Lambrusco, cut a slice of pie and settle in to see what happens.

Spending Christmas week at a beautiful home in a Southwest Florida beach-side town with your best friends . . . sounds idyllic, doesn't it?
But everyone who shows up for this holiday vacation is preoccupied with something different.

Tasmyn and Michael are figuring out how to balance parenthood and marriage.

Rafe and Nell are arguing over a proposed trip.

And Jackie and Lucas . . . well, one is ready to tie the knot and the other is not.

Luckily for these six, they've come to the right place for timely advice and words of wisdom from some meddling ladies who don't intend to let a little thing like death stand in the way of their interfering.

Come enjoy a magical Christmas with some old familiar friends, and prepare to fall in love all over again.

Cathryn Whitmore, the driven and hard-working woman at the helm of Carruthers Initiative Institute, has always been unlucky in love. She tells herself that there's no room in her life for a serious relationship, and that's partly true; together with her friends and the agents who work for her, she's on a mission to stop a pervasive evil from setting off an apocalypse that will spell the end of the world. But that was before she took a trip to Ireland to recruit three gifted brothers to fight by her side. When Seamus O'Casey first lays eyes on Cathryn, he knows that he's lost his heart. But convincing her of this truth won't be easy. It'll take all of his charm-not to mention his supernatural abilities-to win her trust . . . and her love.

After the tumult of her high school senior year, all is right in Tasmyn Vaughan's world. She's attending college with her boyfriend, and she's learning to control her powers. Everything is finally perfect, until it isn't.

When her new part-time job leads to more than she bargained for, Tasmyn is thrown into a deadly fight against forces of evil that she didn't even know existed. Mastering her extraordinary gifts--along with the strength of an endless love--may be the only weapon that can guarantee her a happily ever after.

Best served hot with a side of wicked humor and a glass of Pinot Noir.

When she agrees to allow Ms. Lacusta to help develop her powers, Tasmyn has no idea how deep and dark the journey will become. Trapped between fascination and fear, she moves farther away from friends and family, even her boyfriend Michael. Leading a double life forces Tas into decisions that will threaten her sanity and her future... and the very lives of those she loves.

Book Two in the best-selling YA King Quartet!
Tasmyn Vaughn is not having the senior year she expected. Her boyfriend Michael leaves for college, she's being stalked by a suspicious preacher, pursued by the hot new boy at school and blackmailed by her chemistry teacher--who just might be a witch. Tas needs all of her many talents--and a little help from unexpected sources--just to keep her head above water. . .literally.

Tasmyn Vaughn didn't expect much when her dad's job moved them to a small town in Florida; it was just another new school. But King is a town founded by magic and steeped in mystery, and soon Tasmyn's ability to hear others' thoughts is the least of her worries.

There's Ms. Lacusta, the science teacher who just might be teaching more than chemistry, and then there's Nell Massler, the ultimate mean girl whose extracurricular activities include blood rituals. And she wants Tasmyn's blood next.

Entangled in a web of first love, quirky and secretive townsfolk, magic and blood spells, she discovers the town's secrets aren't just bizarre, they're deadly.

Grab a cup of coffee and a diner breakfast. It's time to return to Palm Dunes.

An epic showdown with a tremendous force of evil is looming on the horizon. Jackie and Lucas, along with their small band of friends and fellow Carruthers Institute agents, are on edge as they all await the opening blows in this battle to keep the dreaded Hive from making their terrifying plans for world domination a reality.

But meanwhile, life goes on in Palm Dunes, the Florida retirement community where Jackie and Lucas are the youngest honorary residents. Jackie, who's still getting used to her new life as both a restaurant-owner and secret agent, is also now dealing with a prickly young sous-chef who needs her guidance and help. Lucas is confronted with a series of mysterious deaths, where the victims seem to have nothing in common. Even his role of Death Broker can't help him find the killer.

And their friend and neighbor Mrs. Mac, busy competing in the Ms. Florida Senior Living pageant, just may be the next victim.

As the two men run for their unlives they test the bonds of friendship and learn the whole universe is depending on them. So we're probably screwed.

Newly divorced, Baron Cross isn't looking to reenter the dating scene anytime soon. All he plans to offer Ms. Mabry is a safe ride to her hotel.

What was supposed to be one night of fun leads them both on a journey that will leave them branded for life.
