Leah Marcus was the seventeen-year-old daughter of a rich, white, Jewish power couple, the father a famous mass tort lawyer, the mother CEO of a non-profit corporation assisting the mentally ill. Leah was a piano-playing prodigy who dreamed of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon. Leah’s boyfriend, Damon Allbright, was the star point guard at their high school, an excellent student, gifted with an angelic singing voice and the African American son of the pastor at one of Cincinnati’s major Baptist churches.
During the fourth day of Cincinnati’s 2001 race riots, someone bludgeoned, bound, strangled and probably sexually assaulted Leah. Leah Marcus’ death held the city spellbound during the spring and summer of 2001. Suspicion soon fell on Leah’s boyfriend. After Damon’s DNA is found in Leah’s body, the investigators charged him with her rape and murder. Her murder, the alleged murder, of a beautiful, young white woman at the hands of a black man, gripped the city like so many crimes involving sex, race and class. Damon was tried for the offense.
Ten years later, the crime reporter for the Cincinnati Tribune, who covered the crime and trial, decides to re-investigate the murder and learn the truth behind the senseless killing. Her story is a tragedy in the tradition of Shakespeare.
And The River Runs Deep drills into the lives of two families set amidst the turbulent times of racial strife and the impending doom of 9/11.

Ullman
Misty Miles, the princess of a faraway land known as Starryton, is like any other woman of her station – except for her disability. She has spent the majority of her 21 years high in a tower so that this, and the wheelchair that accompanies it, will remain a secret. Her parents’ fear of the monarchy appearing weak as a result of Misty’s condition necessitates this course of action. Their efforts to protect both Misty and the monarchy make her question her ability to do much of anything – forget about reigning over a kingdom. Like most princesses, Misty has a Prince Charming. Her love is Derrick Denison, prince of the neighboring kingdom of Mooncrest, who is a gifted dancer. Misty is unable to see Derrick because not only is she stuck in an inescapable room, but there’s also the matter of the long, as of yet unresolved, feud between the two families. This conflict caused the once beloved kingdom of Starrycrest to break apart into two separate kingdoms. The princess soon realizes that she must take matters into her own hands. She goes to Trovella, a troll rumored to grant wishes for a price. Misty’s wish takes her on an interesting journey. She not only stares down self-doubt while ensuring that her kingdom and the kingdom of her beloved prince do not pay the ultimate price, but also contends with the rage of feuding families. To make matters all the more complicated, the princess is also faced with the challenge of finding a little girl she encounters in the course of her journey, who also has a disability, a permanent family.
Much like this novel’s heroine, Allison Lewis has a disability. She wrote this story to spread a message of self-acceptance to young girls traveling paths similar to hers. She earned a Master of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of Dayton and aspires to build a career in the field. She is also the owner of an extensive troll doll collection, started at the tender age of three, after being told that they bring good luck. To this day, it continues to grow and do just that.

In all respects, her world was perfect…until she awoke in the early morning hours in a strange hotel room, alone, unclothed, with a splitting headache and no clue how she had gotten there.
When Steven Ridley comes home in the middle of a weekday and throws a sheaf of damning photos at her, Madeline’s comfortable world collapses in a swirl of blackmail, sabotage and deceit. Hoping to convince Steven of her innocence, Madeline drives to his office and unwittingly stumbles onto a scene that makes her realize who the real enemy is.
From that point on, Madeline Ridley deconstructs herself, reverting back to Madeline Dawkins in order to salvage what’s left of her life. In the process, she discovers where her true strengths lay, and with those, she steels herself for the battle of a lifetime.

One sweltering night… and morning after. He set the tempo, and she matched him step for step. No strings. No hearts.
BRITTANY
It was supposed to just be a one-night stand. I wasn’t supposed to catch feelings. He’s a rock star and having feelings for him would be devastating. And I’m already struggling — no job, no home, no love life. Besides, I don’t believe in love or happily ever after. Fun and orgasms are much more concrete.
BROOKS
Just one night. Usually just one round. That was all I was good for. It was all I ever wanted. It kept girls from getting clingy. Of course with her, I wanted multiple rounds and the next morning. But when I left, that was supposed to be the end of it. So, why can’t I get her laugh out of my ears? Her smile from behind my eyelids? Her touch off my fingertips? Her moans out of my dreams?
What happens when love turns up the tempo? Can the rocker learn to keep up?
So, I know these things are generally written in third person as if someone else is talking about me. But I just can’t do it. LOL. It may be “unprofessional” but I’m just me. And I hope that’s OK with you guys.
I’m a Carolina girl, through and through. I’ve lived in North Carolina my whole life. I’m a wife, a mom, a scientist and a freelance editor. And now I guess I get to officially add author to the list of things I am. I still can’t believe it.
For as long as I can remember, reading has been my favorite way to pass the time. I always have a book with me and usually am reading more than one at any given time. Editing for indie authors gave me a unique glimpse into the indie publishing world. It’s a world I’m really enjoying becoming a part of.

My love for books all began as a book-blogger, dedicating my time and passion to talented authors, assisting and reviewing the world’s top writers.
A voracious reader myself, and my insatiable appreciation for the book world, I wanted more. I soon discovered my own passion for writing, and knack for storytelling. Writing what I loved to read, the romantic suspense genre was a perfect fit. Dreaming of new ways to tug on my readers heart strings, and creating scorching hot love scenes fed the thrill for inventing new stories.
I had only just begun, and came out of the gate with a blast, delivering an Amazon best-selling Author status with my first book, in 2015, then again with my second series.
Check out my Forgotten Trilogy (two versions: Hot and Steamy or Sweet and Sensual.)

Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?

When Lucifer’s Emblem—his one defense against the Archangels who banished him from Heaven—is stolen, his daughter, Zuri tracks the thief to Celestial Academy. As the child of a Fallen, she’d never be allowed entry to the school for the descendants of angels and saints. Instead, she dons a fake identity, leading her right into the path of Miryam bat-Michael.
Miryam may be the daughter of the Archangel Michael, but she’s far from perfect. Craving the love of a father who is barely around, she seeks admiration and affection wherever she can find it. Even if that means throwing in with Zuri, the girl who doesn’t fit in.
A tentative alliance blooms as the girls uncover the thief’s true motives: Lucifer’s emblem can unleash Armageddon and Zuri’s blood breaks the seal. Zuri’s only hope of averting the apocalypse and escaping death is to trust Miryam. But is their growing bond strong enough to overcome eons of bad blood between Fallen and Archangels?
