Charmed Passage

Picture
Book One in the 'Passage' Saga
Kristie Somers is happy in her life. She has a promising career ahead of her, grandparents who love her—and no time for a man. Or so she thought until an ancient Haitian amulet dropped her in the year 1864 at the close of the Civil War. The handsome Union colonel, Eric Langston, was a man to be hated. Her grandparents told her so. Her family had despised him for generations. He commanded the Yankee regiment that invaded her ancestral home; he condoned the savage abuse of the plantation women; he was responsible for Whispering Willows burning to the ground. Why then, does her heart pound every time he enters a room? Why do his fiery kisses stir her like no mans ever have before? Could she have been wrong about him? Could her ancestors have been wrong? Kristie is determined to find out—and she has to do it before the complex secrets that are Eric Langston cause him to drink himself to a premature death.

Destined Passage

Picture
Book Two in the 'Passage' Saga
Brittany Cavanaugh, an oceanographer from the year 2001, discovers a mysterious Haitian amulet on the ocean floor off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. A member of a prestigious team who will attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the sinking of the Titanic, Brittany is left so disturbed when she witnesses the ship’s watery grave that she wishes she and her fiancé, Ian Buchanan, could have done something to stop the tragedy. In the next terrifying moments, she and Ian are swept through a mystifying tunnel that leads to the year 1912 and the teak decks of the doomed ocean liner. Their efforts to save the “unsinkable” ship prove fruitless and, they too, are left to try and survive the icy waters of the North Atlantic. A second plea opens the tunnel through time again, and Brittany’s desperate hold on Ian is broken. When the blinding light clears, she finds herself alone in the post-Civil War era, where she is mistaken for the leader of an elusive White Slavery Ring.

She meets the infamous Jacques Devereaux, a Civil War blockade runner turned White Slaver, but her heart is torn when she must choose between the pirate and Clay Gentry, a southern gentleman who is in the midst of a desperate search for his missing twin sisters--and the President's daughter.

Doomed Passage

Picture
Book Three in 'Passage' Saga
Ian Buchanan was separated from his fiancée, Brittany Cavanaugh, in the icy waters of the North Atlantic when the infamous ocean liner, Titanic, sank. Where she is, he has no idea, but the ancient Haitian amulet that transported the couple from the twentieth century has now chosen to drop him in the year 1692—at the time of the Salem Witch Hunts. Ian meets young, innocent Ariana; a woman who, despite the fact that she is only sixteen years old, stirs Ian's blood. Even more disturbing to the twentieth century man—she is a self-proclaimed witch, who wears the same amulet that he last saw around his beloved Brittany's neck. When the fanatical Puritans decide to hang Ian and Ariana as witches, too, the young woman screams a frantic plea to the goddess, Aveena. The couple is then transported through time again, this time to Fort Sumter at the beginning of the Civil War.  The transport begins a tempestuous journey that spans ten years, leaving Ian to feel a sense of obligation to Ariana and her unborn child. Ian looks after them, supports them, and grows to care more than his conscience will allow. Finally, following a single night of unforgettable passion, Ariana admits her love. Ian though, admits to only an overwhelming lust that leaves him with a self-loathing he can no longer abide.

Can Ian forget his commitment to Brittany? Will he ever see her again? Will fate determine their destinies and join the two time-travelers in the end? Or will they be forever left to find their own way and alienate even those who love them most?

Doomed Passage brings the story of the amulet full circle and, by the end, all of the "previous owners" will strive to drive the evil from a powerful talisman that, to this point, has worked only for the good.

The Ultimate Passage

Picture
Darius Calhoun is President of the U.S.—in the year 2320. Citizens of earth live in domed cities, because pollution has reached the point where the air is no longer fit to breathe. They no longer feel hatred, jealousy, envy or love. They don’t have sex either, and haven’t for nearly two hundred years. Why? Because it’s messy, unsanitary and can transmit disease. Imagine Darius’ horror then, when he suddenly finds himself displaced in time at the whim of the goddess Aveena—goddess of love.

His trek to 14th century Scotland is Darius’ worst nightmare come true. He is forced to live in a cold, drafty castle, wear a kilt, and use the ghastly “privy” when it comes time to take care of nature’s call. Worst of all, he is expected to be an advisor to Robert the Bruce, the self-proclaimed King of Scotland. How is he to counsel the king on tactics of war when, where he comes from, that barbaric institution, too, has been extinct for over two hundred years?

Only one thing in this godforsaken time period enables Darius to keep his sanity. Her name is Lara Macgregor. Her father is lord of the castle. Lara is beautiful, spunky—and looking for a mate. Of course, in that day and age, this means having sex and Darius wants no part of it. He feels nothing for Lara but friendship…at least he didn’t at first. Now, though, strange things are happening to his mind and body and, with the war for independence in Scotland gaining momentum, so does Darius’ resolve that at some point in time, government leaders in his world did something terribly wrong.

 

Tender Persuasion

Picture




A true story of tragedy and terror


Of understanding and patience

Of courage and triumph

 

Kaitlyn Emberland was brutally raped five years ago.  She almost died, and her assailant left behind forty-two scars to remind her of their encounter.  She will never trust a man again.  She will never love again. The mere thought of a man’s touch makes her skin crawl—and then she meets Marc Campbell.  He is different.  He’s kind, gentle, understanding, and he loves her.  He is willing to do whatever it takes to convince Kaitlyn that she can put the rape behind her and live and love again.

But is it even possible?  Can such a brutal act of violence and betrayal ever truly be overcome?  Kaitlyn has her doubts, but with the commencement of Marc’s “treatment”, even she begins to believe that she may one day enjoy the physical side of love again—an act that now makes her heart pound with soul-shaking terror, and a goal that Marc is determined to attain.

Wagons To The Past

Picture
A TIme Travel Romance
It’s the family vacation of a lifetime. A trip on a genuine wagon train headed west across the Great Plains of Kansas. The brochure promises adventure, realism and romance, but it says nothing about the possibility that your entire caravan of more than forty twenty-first century pioneers could become unwilling participants in a real trek west. A trip that is destined to take place in the year 1845; a trip that will test your stamina and courage as you cross endless deserts, towering peaks and raging rivers. Add to that a prairie fire and a ghostly caravan of immigrants who trudge through your circled corral of wagons and disappear into the endless void of a night sky. Then suddenly, gun shots. The cry of snarling wolves, and a man dressed in buckskin. He identifies himself as Luke Skinner, the most infamous wagon pilot ever to cross the Great Divide. He's the crazy one, right? He and his wagon train of four hundred determined immigrants are the ones living in the past. Or are you?
