The COVERING
was my first published book (Pelican Book Group). It's one of my Bestsellers and is so close to my heart.
 

WHAT DO A WOMAN OF FAITH AND A HEATHEN BIKER HAVE IN COMMON? THE DEVIL, OF COURSE. 

When Tessa meets Gunnar, she’s stunned. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, and driven. He’s also a hostile, self-destructive unbeliever ... and she’s drawn to him like no other. The temptation is as dangerous as it is alluring, and she wants to stay away, but God has other plans. He reveals the devil’s intent to destroy Gunnar, and commissions Tessa to keep him covered in prayer. Can she rely on God to keep her from falling ... in love, and into temptation?










The DESCENDED SERIES 

HAVE I GOT AN ESCAPE FOR YOU… The Descended Series: JETT, SEBASTIAN, AARO, and ULRICK -- four men with vastly different personalities, SUPERNATURAL DNA, and POWERS to match, drawn together by PROPHECY and DESTINY. Using their UNIQUE skill sets, they must put aside their personal differences and try to identify the head of a human trafficking ring — without killing each other first. Jett’s philosophy, “Crush the head and the body dies,” sounds logical in theory, but the tenuous bonds of brotherhood might not be strong enough to survive a revelation that brings them full circle. And of course, there's ROMANCE! ★★★★★ “Jane Eyre meets Batman!” ★★★★★ ★★★★★ “Romantic Suspense at its finest.” ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Dana Pratola is the Master of the Great Escape! ★★★★★


~JETT

SOME SAY HE’S A CULT LEADER. OTHERS SAY HE’S NOT HUMAN.

Jett Cestone is an enigma with a disconcerting connection to the young women in his employ and Haven is amazed when the reclusive billionaire takes an interest in her artwork and wants her to move in ... but what if her father is right? What if he’s dangerous?

Uncovering his startling ties to the women in his house would be bad enough, but Haven would certainly reject him if she learned of his abilities, and that his life is much more paranormal than normal. Too bad he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anyone or anything.






~SEBASTIAN

HE IS NO ANGEL. MEN LIKE HIM ONLY WANT ONE THING…

But Natalie is determined to keep her vow of celibacy. Yes, Sebastian is gorgeous, intelligent and heroic, with unusual gifts, but he’s a constant reminder that she isn’t good enough for him. Can she outrun a club owner who wants her dead when she’s weighed down by the failures of her past?

Sebastian has always viewed women one way—as marvelous distractions. But when Natalie enters his life, he’s forced to see them, and the world, in new light. Teaming with Jett Cestone, they enter the sordid world of sex traffickers to rescue young innocents. But only Natalie can rescue him, and give him the one thing his heart needs.







~AARO

NOT QUITE ANGEL, NOT QUITE HUMAN, AARO HIGHLANDER IS A SPECIAL BREED

Darcy D’Angelo is an average, contemporary woman. Men like Aaro don’t fall for women like her. He’s heroic, gorgeous, intelligent, and she’s…not. Yet, after only a brief acquaintance, he reveals his intention to marry her.

Aaro Highlander, like his “brothers,” is a special breed—not quite angel, not quite human—with spectacular shapeshifting gifts, deep running passions and strength of character that drives him to do the right thing. But something has been missing from his life, until now. Romance and his life mate. He’s finally found both in Darcy, but his commitment to Jett and Sebastian may put wedding plans on hold as they unravel a mystery, discover prophetic secrets, and hunt for a serial killer.







~ULRICK

HE’S THE MAN OF HER DREAMS. LITERALLY. BUT IS HE A DEMON?

When they’re together in that misty world, Loria is sure he’s too good to be true, but what does she do when he steps out of her dreams into her everyday world? This is the stuff of fantasy, not real life! She doesn’t even know what he is. How can she trust him?

Ulrick Helmore needs to find the mysterious woman that calls to him from her dreams and hold him night after glorious night in ethereal passion, but she refuses to tell him her name or where she may be found in the waking hours. His search for her leads him to unanticipated discoveries, including mass murders, sex trafficking, men who share his unique DNA, and learning firsthand what disloyalty to family looks like. Any other man would be destroyed, but having Loria reject him because of his supernatural background is the one thing he can’t handle. Hard choices must be made ~ choices that may have devastating consequences for everyone.








LIKE a COUNTRY SONG - wrote this after I had a dream about a famous country singer and his two daughters trying to find his wife at a street fair/carnival. His mother-in-law accused him of murdering her. This book was the result.

FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO DREAMS OF MEETING HER SUPERSTAR FANTASY CRUSH FACE TO FACE.

Superstar Jack McKinney’s life couldn’t be more like one of his hit country songs if he’d written it himself. When his wife vanishes at an amusement park, and he finds himself suddenly in need of a nanny, he has no choice but to enlist the park’s Princess Verena (a/k/a/ Charlotte) to help.

Fearing what her very strict and disapproving parents will think, Charlotte initially refuses Jack’s request to leave her post at Royal Kingdom and care for his daughters, but she’s had a crush on the singer for years, and since he is used to getting his way, he quickly wears her down.

Despite a police investigation, an enraged mother-in-law, and swarming press, mutual attraction blooms between them. But there’s a line neither can cross—Jack hasn’t forgotten he’s still a married man, and Charlotte will never become his mistress.

The HAUNTING of JOSIAH KASH - this story came from an idea I had about Andrea Bocelli. I was watching an interview with him in his home in Italy and thinking how gorgeous it is.

It’s realizing you gave it away. ”   What do you have that is priceless? Your portfolio? Your house? Your Bible Characters bobblehead collection? Your family? Suppose the market crashed and money was worthless. An earthquake collapsed the house and your bobbleheads, and your family decided en masse to move to France to make cheese in Brie.
