Thanks for letting me post the blurb for Incarnate.
For an innocent man, she’ll go to her grave. Again.
The Portal Keepers, Book 1
Cia is serving her sentence in the Canadian Arctic, guarding one of the many portals that seal off Earth from Heaven and Hell. She doesn’t mind the cold. What she does mind? Someone’s bumping off other Incarnates, the dual-souled beings who hold the Apocalypse at bay. And she’s next on the list.
Worse, she learns the prime suspect is Arthur, her ex. Arthur is many things, but despite their history, he’s no murderer. Cia has only thirty days to find him and prove it before the Wrath is unleashed to mete out justice.
It’s no relief when he shows up in her truck’s headlights on the side of the ice road. He stirs turmoil between her volatile old soul and the younger one that keeps it in line. Worse, he shows all the signs of turning into a demon.
The closer they get to Yellowknife, the more rogue demons pour out of Hell, dragging with them a past she thought would never haunt her again. Another murder, and the elders prepare to summon the Wrath ahead of schedule. A move that will, literally, let all Hell break loose. Unless Cia makes a soul-tearing choice.
——————————————————————————–
Product Warnings
Ice, frigid temperatures, lots of Poutine consuming and a mention of blubber. Many demons were harmed in the writing of this book, but the polar bear really is okay.

Ring of Darkness–released Monday from Noble Romance.
Brienda’s life is about to be turned upside down. After five years at the temple of the God-Mother, she is to be married to Tamalor of Callista on her father’s orders in order to end aggression between their two countries.
Brienda is upset at this turn of events, but she comes to believe it is part of a larger plan and the God-Mother has put her in this place to bring not only peace but a restoration of balance to the ancient powers of her world. She is right, and, in the end, the larger plan will demand more from her than she ever thought she could give–including Tamalor.

Dressed in nothing but green paint,she attends a Halloween party searching for the man of her dreams. She finds him, but then fears she won’t be able to give him up.
Since the death of his wife five years ago, Dan’s life has been on auto-pilot. But from the moment he meets Colleen, he starts to feel alive again. And he knows he can’t let this would-be princess stride out of his life…

Just got the email to mention a new release. The second in my PsiCorps series debuted from Liquid Silver Books July 4th.
DAWN’S EARLY LIGHT (PsiCorps Book 2)
Blurb:
U.S. Marshal Mackenzie Matthews has spent the last six months on the most important witness protection assignment of his career–protecting PsiCorps’ own. The four agents under his care in the program have always had his admiration, but now, under such close quarters, they’ve earned his affections as well. Bonds formed after a dramatic showdown on Christmas Eve, and the concerted efforts in its wake to build a sense of normalcy around his pregnant charge, has Mackenzie the happiest he’s been in years and the most frightened.
To push for more not only questions his integrity as the lead marshal on the case, but it threatens the surrogate family that has engulfed him in a sense of home. Mackenzie is the only one that can see the danger in every step he takes–so he stands in place. He soon learns that he’s the only one not willing to move forward. In a whirlwind of revelation as the country celebrates the stars and stripes, Mackenzie is faced with what it means to truly be free. He’ll learn that sometimes no amount of caution can save you from what’s meant to be. Sometimes, no matter how deeply you bury secret desires in the darkness, it takes but a single kiss to reveal it all by the dawn’s early light.
Contains: Psychic Vampire seduction, all male ménage, M/F oral fixation and bloodless biting to spare.
My new short story, Within The Mists, has been released by CHAMPAGNE BOOKS:
Lieutenant Edward Putney of HMS Tenacity wonders if his head’s been damaged after a violent storm blows him overboard. He’s awakened by a faerie hovering over his bed, who tells him he’s trapped on a mysterious isle until the next equinox. When his rescuer turns out to be a selchie, a seal in the sea and a beautiful woman on land, Edward truly starts to doubt his sanity. A summer on the isle leads to love, but his sense of duty to Nelson’s Navy is strong. When the equinox nears he must make a terrible choice: stay and be branded a deserter forever, or return to the life he once knew and abandon the selchie he loves.
As a short, it’s only $1!

I have a new release from a new series of short stories.
Encounters: Blood Play
Vampire Aiden Swann has a tough job, infiltrate Paris’s most notorious BDSM club Perdition. While he’s all Alpha, Aiden’s no Dom, yet he finds his time in Perdition no hardship due to a mysterious female vampire. Cadence O’Connor intrigues him and makes him hard as stone. He knows there’s no reason that a pure blood vampire like him couldn’t play with a mixed blood vampire like her, but Cade disagrees. She’s got a chip on her shoulder about her heritage and refuses to see Aiden as a sexual partner. All Aiden needs to do is convince Cade that she’s no abomination and that everything she is, is everything he wants.

Prince of the Mist, my novella originally published in 2005, is now once again available for the Kindle and at Smashwords.
Prince of the Mist is about Tia, daughter of NY senator. At the beginning of the story, Tia escapes a carjacker only to tumble into the Sifra—home of the fairies. She wakes to find herself wedded to a Sidhe prince. While insisting their marriage is not valid, she cannot deny the passion she finds in his arms.
Wildon must stop Tia’s mother from voting for a nuclear plant that would be built above the Sifra. In marrying the senator’s daughter, he can get close enough to prevent the senator from voting. However, falling in love with Tia is not part of the plan.

Can an alien beast without a soul bring Laya to her knees?
Space Lord Theradon, of the merchant planet Malathix, lives on the edge of a darkness that threatens every human around him. He must find the piece of him that’s missing or face his demise.

When the pair finally comes face-to-face, will it be too late to stop the death and destruction, or will they find something deeper to hold them together and save them both?

Tanner Connolly has never forgotten his high school crush. The sweet blonde with the vibrant eyes fills his dreams and fantasies. He’d had a shot in school to make her more than a friend, but blew it for the sake of appearances. Now he’d like to know what might have been and use it to create a future.

Sometimes the hardest role in life is being true to yourself.
Jade Weir did the social scene. She played the ditzy Hollywood socialite and ran with the requisite fast crowds. Until one night and a shooting changed everything. Now she’s ready to go toe to toe with the handsome Sheriff’s deputy, Marlon Cross. Toe to toe or kiss for kiss, whichever comes first. The real Jade isn’t the celebutante from television, and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to prove it.
But is he ready for her?
Marlon liked his quiet and simple existence. No ties means no one gets hurt. And then came Jade. She’s a hurricane in high heels and totally trouble for him. She has the power to raise the ghosts in his past, but his heart won’t let him walk away.
Can they find a way to make the lust simmering between them work or will they simply part as the closest of friends?
Reader Advisory: This book contains anal play, sex on the dining room table and a hero bound and determined to get his way.

Blurb:
Rob Healy has everything he wants, or will have once he’s built his new resort on a small island in the Pacific. A woman in his life isn’t planned at the moment, but when he sees Cassandra Kearns in the foyer looking stiff and out of place amongst the holiday makers his interest is spiked.

She needs to take some time and recharge her batteries. But how is she to do that? She’s worked 24/7 for years. Does she know how to have fun?
When Cassandra meets Rob she rejects the spark of attraction she feels. A man in her life, after the betrayal of Oliver? She’d rather eat broken glass!

BLURB:
On the scene of a multiple murder that’s grisly even for a veteran homicide detective, Brian Clifton is stunned when one of the victims bears an uncanny resemblance to his boyfriend, James. As the similarities keep piling up, so do the bodies…and the evidence pointing to James as the killer.
Since long before the shooting, James has been dishonest. He’s been evasive. Oh, and there’s that minor little detail he withheld from Brian about being a gambling-addicted drug dealer. He may not be the best boyfriend in the world, but he begs Brian to believe he’s no murderer. In fact, whoever did pull the trigger undoubtedly wants to finish what they started, and Brian is the only one James trusts to keep him safe.
But how much is Brian willing to risk to protect a man he may not even know?
My first book: Lord Demon’s Delight is a kindle freebie until July 14.

When she bargained with the devil of her dreams, they both found their heart’s delight.
Demons of Dunmore Series
Lady Jessaline Nolan is as stubborn as her fiery red hair implies; thwarting her father’s wishes every chance she gets. The day of her impending forced marriage proves no exception. She swears she would rather marry a Demon of Dunmore than the man her father has chosen.
Lord Llewellyn Dunmore is happily unwed, as the men in his lineage have remained for generations. It’s become a family tradition. But he is drawn to the beautiful damsel in distress and agrees to save her on one condition-that she willingly succumb to his every sensual demand. To his utter surprise, she agrees.
While Jessaline’s father schemes to bring her back by any means necessary, Jessaline and Llewellyn spend their nights in decadent delight and three rather cranky fairy-godmothers lend their magical help to the lovers.
Darker secrets lurk, however, as well as a shadowy past that Jessaline is unaware of. Can the new love between Jessaline and Llewellyn survive when confronted with hidden truths?
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit hot monogamous sex told in graphic language.
Thanks so much, Gia

The Wild Rose Press released my latest Regency comedy, GIFTS GONE ASTRAY, on June 29.
BLURB:
A gift is a wonderful surprise. Or maybe not.
At the Earl of Langley’s family gathering, everyone receives a gift, including the servants. Tutor Stephen Fairfax expects a small token, but the present from family member Mrs. Anne Copely, the widow who has caught his eye, is a dream come true.
Until he opens it. What a gift! How did that demure lady acquire such a book? And she wants to “study” the positions in it with him? If he accepts her offer, tempting as it is, he could lose his job.
Anne has no idea why Mr. Fairfax is in such a flutter. Her present is a simple book of illustrations. The subject interests them both, and she would like nothing better than to examine the book–and Mr. Fairfax–more closely.

It’s “Donaya”, but I take no offense. Not a lot of Pali Sanskrit pennames around here! I’m half-Thai and that is my legal middle name.
My release also happens to be about a melding of cultures. Humans and Demons and Elves is a 41349-word YA urban fantasy novella, where a young Elf whose village is destroyed must find a new life in a scary world – modern human America.
Thanks for giving us this sandbox to play in!
Humans and Demons and Elves is a family-friendly novella about a young Elf, just barely come of age, whose village is destroyed, leaving him with one option: move in with his cousin. Who was adopted by humans years ago. Now Edofine the Courageous must try to become Ed Fletcher, functioning member of modern society.
It is the fourth book in a loosely connected series but may be read alone. I wrote the first draft at age 16, though I am now 20.

Sean Gordon is head of the Selkies. Powerful, ancient, and invulnerable, he's controlled the clans at the cost of his own family. Years ago, an echo of loneliness called him ashore, almost binding him to a life on land. He escaped to the sea, but he’s never forgotten the woman who revitalized his soul.
Kerry Duff never expected to see Sean again after their magical night together twenty-one years ago. But Kerry is still addicted to the mythical creature who slipped away with the dawn tide, and she is driven by an insatiable need to find him.
Now, face-to-face again, Sean realizes Kerry is destined to be his mate—and the secret she has kept from him represents the renewal of his clan. But an enemy clan is determined to exploit Sean’s new-found weakness. Can Kerry and Sean trust each other enough to prevent the destruction of their clan?
