A girl with a hidden power. A demon from the past. A god bent on revenge.

Young noblewoman Yumi seeks a new purpose in exile. But when a dangerous power awakens within her, she is forced to flee once more. Lost in the mountain forest, she discovers a forgotten shrine guarding an ancient secret — and a demon from the past. Drawn into the treacherous world of yokai, can Yumi trust the captivating winged demon — or will he use her for his own ends?

Touma, next leader of the great tengu, wakes from a deadly battle to a human girl tending his wounds — three centuries later. Worse, they share a soulbond, an unexpected complication he must resist at all costs. For there is more to Yumi than he initially believes, and their link may be the catalyst of a devastating threat. Faced with the loss of an unreachable past, Touma has nothing left to protect — except the girl with the secret to time itself.

The dangers of Touma’s past lurk in the present, his future irrevocably linked to hers. As their enemies close in, Yumi may be the final hope against an ancient god bent on revenge — or the very conduit for his cause.

Wind Across the Silver Blade is Book 1 of Yokai Bonds, an interconnected Asian fantasy romance series featuring powerful yokai and the brave heroines who steal their hearts. Fans of fated mates, forbidden romances, gods and demons, and time magic will find lots to love in this breathtaking new story.

“A deftly written novel with a strong plot, an intriguing portrait of a wealthy family, and a phenomenal conflict. There couldn’t be a better opening for this series.”—The Book Commentary

“Fans of science fiction mixed with romance and mystery will enjoy this genre-crossing novel.”—BookLife Review

In this gripping sci-fi thriller, Svetlana Peterman has met her soul mate in Andrew Jovian, a young astronomer who works for Starbright International, the aerospace company his wealthy parents own. Once married, they make a home in Kirksberg, Pennsylvania, a small town famous for a UFO sighting that occurred in the 1960s. Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew’s family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way.

Preoccupied with only two things—the night sky and carrying on their family lineage—the Jovians lack social skills and often pry into Svetlana’s personal life. Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew’s eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind.

Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway. But that’s the least of her worries when she discovers the Jovians have a monumental secret that will change her fate (and that of her child’s) forever—a secret so powerful, it could alter the course of mankind.

Buy They Will Be Coming for Us today and experience this mind-bending tale of love, loss, and the mysteries of the night sky.

“An irresistible story…”—BlueInk Review (starred review)

Welcome to Beechwood Harbor. A rustic, coastal town where paranormals live among humans, undetected — at least, so far.

Scarlet Sanderson isn’t a paranormal being per se, but she’s no stranger to things that go bump in the night. She’s had the ability to see and speak with ghosts since she was eight years old. Whether it’s a gift or a curse is still up for debate.

She moved to the picturesque town of Beechwood Harbor to open a flower shop and start a new life after years of being a nomad. What she didn’t expect to find was a town filled with witches, vampires, shape-shifters and ghosts. So, so many ghosts.

With her sarcastic ghost cat and a stately 20th-century gentleman by her side, she can take on the world. She just wishes that world would stop landing her in the middle of murder investigations. Cold case murders, reckless poltergeists, and depressed specters are becoming Scarlet’s new normal. But how in the Otherworld is she supposed to have any kind of real life when she’s stuck halfway between the world of the living and the dead?

This boxed set includes the first three books in the series, The Ghost Hunter Next Door, Ghosts Gone Wild, and When Good Ghosts Get the Blues.
