He promised her the world,
Then, abandoned her at the altar.
Anne
I’m a realist, cynical about falling in love. Until I met Declan – the rich and powerful player. With his quiet determination, he dismantled my cynicism and made me believe.
Before I know it, I’m flashing a radiant smile, dressed, and eagerly awaiting him at the altar.
Only, I got the text – “I’m not coming” – shattering my world.
Regret is a waste of time; I stand by my original convictions.
Years later, he’s back demanding a second chance, how dare he?
Declan
I shook on the agreement without hesitation because I had zero plans to marry for love. Ever.
Years later, Anne crashed into my life. I find myself craving what I thought I didn’t need or want.
Unexpectedly, the agreement I made resurfaced, presenting me with a dilemma:
Marry as agreed or
Lose Anne forever.
Deal accepted, regardless of hurting Anne.
When I find Anne again, she’s engaged, far as I’m concerned, she’s still mine.
I’ll cheat, steal, and fight before I let Anne marry another.
All is fair in love and war. And this is war…hope he’s ready to fight?

Weirdo.
Victim.
I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, by a lot of different people.
But the name that meant the most to me?
Green Street Girls.
That’s what we called our little family, Me, Athena, Gwyn & Charlie.
Each of us, alone in the world until we found each other.
I’m Indigo and this is my story.

Gideon stormed into my life like a big, broad-shouldered guardian angel.
Quiet with kind eyes and a steady presence that made me feel at ease.
He was my friend.
My protector.
My first…everything.
We were on the precipice of something great.
Something new and exciting.
Until a threat made me doubt myself, and everyone around me.
To win him back, I’ll have to be something no one ever accused me of being before.
Brave.

There’s something about magic, action, and the supernatural that calls to my wicked soul. I enjoy most genre fiction, but am drawn to heroines like me and my weird circle of friends: not so slim, not that young, and even a wee bit cranky. But we also find joy and laughter, even in the darkest of times.

I fill my books with adventure, magic, loss, love, and casts bursting with diversity. Seriously, how boring would life be if we were all the same?

Okay, now the personal stuff.

I married the first boyfriend who made it past the four-month mark. Since we’ve been hitched over thirty-five years, I’m thinking he just might stick. The two cats? Well, they’re too spoiled and way too stubborn to move off the couch.

Take off your boots, grab a cold one and settle in for a magical good time.
