’Til death do us part… or ’til demons do their worst.

Rosemary McGuire and Will Gordon’s dream wedding is about to become a nightmare. Vista de los Robles may be a stunning historic mansion, but it comes with uninvited guests from Hell. Literally.

When a hideous demon crashes their romantic getaway, the couple must trade champagne toasts for holy water and vows for vanquishing spells. With their big day hanging in the balance, they call in the cavalry: demon-hunting power couple Michael Covenant and Audrey Barrett.

As the winter solstice approaches, the team races to uncover the mansion’s dark secrets before “I do” becomes “I doom.” Rosemary and Will must prove their love is stronger than any demonic force…or risk their happily ever after going up in unholy flames.

A secret crush.
A New Year’s Eve wedding.
A decades-old curse.
What could go wrong?

Wicks Hollow favorite Iva Bergstrom has finally agreed to marry Hollis Nath. Their wedding is about to take place…but will they make it through the vows?

Event planner Callie Quigley is determined to prove that the Curse of Tremaine Clock Tower is nothing more than a legend, so she proposes Iva and Hollis’s wedding at the site on New Year’s Eve.

Unfortunately, Brenda Tremaine—the ghost that haunts the clock tower ever since she died on her wedding night on New Year’s Eve ninety years ago—has other ideas.

When Ben Tremaine—a guy Callie has crushed on since high school—comes on the scene to help Callie debunk the curse, more than a few sparks fly from the angry ghost, who is definitely her own kind of Bridezilla…

This is a short holiday-themed novel set in Wicks Hollow. It’s spoiler-free and stand-alone. The Wicks Hollow series does not have to be read in order.

EARTH HAS CHANGED. The old world order collapsed following the meteor impacts of 2031 when fire rained down from the skies, instantly vaporizing millions. Billions more died during the Long Winter and resource wars that followed. Over one hundred years have passed since those devastating events and new societies have formed around the globe.

In North America, the fragile peace that exists among the continent’s independent nations and city-states is under threat. The ambitious Grand Guardian of the People’s Republic of America is mobilizing his massive war machine in order to make real his dream of reunifying a former great power. But on the eve of the offensive, a leading scientist dies under mysterious circumstances, though not before he entrusts another with the key to unlocking a secret so powerful, it could not only unravel the Grand Guardian’s designs, but also doom, or save, all of humanity.

The Warrior, The Renegade, and The Conqueror (the final book in the series), now available.
