While I profess to be nothing more than a warrior, my feelings for Master Vampire, Sinjin Sinclair, can’t be denied. But neither can my feelings for Dureau Chevalier, the enigmatic man who's appeared in my dreams since childhood. As Sinjin and Dureau continue to pursue me, I find myself wondering if maybe there is room for love in my heart. But who will I choose?

I just found myself in a sweat after a horrific dream. In it, Kinloch Kirk is destroyed, and everyone I care about is dead. Worst of all, I can't shrug away the feeling that the dream isn't just a dream but a vision of what's to come. Throw in the hauntingly familiar stranger, Dureau Chevalier, who happens to be incredibly sexy, and I find myself at a crossroads. Do I continue with the promise I made myself to avoid all men, or do I acknowledge my interest in Dureau?

When Sawyer learns what I am—a mermaid—he isn’t sure what to make of the fact. Worse, it seems distance is what he needs most. Even though things might be less than ideal between Sawyer and me, at least I still have a friend in Wendy. But, soon, even that relationship will see its own crisis when posters appear throughout town proclaiming I’m a criminal on the run. Although the rumors are a hoax, I feel the whole town is turning against me, Wendy included—and I can only wonder who’s to blame for the lies. Luckily for me, there’s a new man in my life named Marshall. Having just...

When I’m finally reunited with Tallis and Bill after our last harrowing escape from The Underground City, you’d think things would finally start getting back to normal.

After returning to Edinburgh, Tallis, Bill and I find ourselves running from more demons, this time on the earthly plane! Once we give the demons the slip, we’re on a quest—this time to free my aunt Annice from the clutches of none other than Alaire.

While returning from a scouting mission to locate Luce’s camp, I stumble on a wolf-girl strapped to a rack and left for dead. Once rescued, the girl, Dayna, tells us all about the newest flavor of Luce’s evil and, most specifically, what Luce plans to do to me if he ever takes me as a prisoner again. My time in Luce’s breeding program will pale compared to the newest torture he’s devised for me and I vow to myself that will never happen. Upon returning to the queen and Kinloch Kirk, a new arrival starts heating up the scene and making waves. And I’m not sure how to feel about it.

In the process of trying to locate Luce and his enemy stronghold, I find myself in a land I’ve only heard about in stories. A fairy land that’s as dangerous as it is magical. Luckily for me, I’m not the only one—my team consists of Sinjin, Dureau, and Damek. The three of us are now stranded in a land ruled by fae magic, where the cost of admission might be more than we bargained for.

After a surprise attack on home soil leaves Queen Jolie and her court reeling, we have to find a new plan. And that new plan includes first and foremost: locating enemy forces. Finding Luce and his stronghold is now priority Number One. Desperate to prevent another attack and with nothing to go on but a vision from a dream, I'm now leading a scouting party to find Luce and his camp. The question is: will we find it in time?

After solving the mystery of who killed the woman who previously owned my cottage, I’m hoping my life in the small and quaint English village of Morley-on-Avon will quiet down. But no such luck. And I’m not just talking about ghosts. I don’t know how it happened, but for someone who promised herself she’d avoid all romantic entanglements, I now have two men vying for my attention—the handsome and kindhearted blacksmith of Morley, Leo Tanner, and Morley’s own resident lothario playboy, Bastian Chambon. And there’s no dating one and keeping the other as a friend. So, for now, ...

The circus has come to Morley. And, along with it, my newest mystery to solve… While in the middle of a performance, the ringmaster, Argos the Magnificent, dies a very mysterious death involving a cannon stunt gone wrong. Now, it’s up to me, my ghostly pal, Petra, and a slew of circus ghosts to try to find out whodunit. It doesn’t help that Inspector Lean is on the case and questioning my every inclination as he always does.

I'm back—or rather, I'm back to my humble beginnings. Propelled into the past to my old Los Angeles fortune-telling shop, I have no idea I possess extraordinary power And I definitely don’t remember becoming Queen of the Underworld! But at least I have two incredibly sexy men vying for my affection: Rand Balfour, who looks very familiar, though I can’t place his gorgeous face... And Sinjin Sinclair, who is tall, dark, and perfect—except for the fangs. PLEASE NOTE: For those familiar with the Jolie Wilkins series, this is NOT a new book. It's the same series reconfigured. If you've ...

After realizing my infant daughter has been spirited away to the land of Faery by the Fir Darrig, one of the Unseelie Court, Sinjin and I go after her. Luckily, we have Odran, Klaasje, and Dureau by our side. But even with the five of us, will it be enough to take on one of the most powerful of the Unseelie Fae? Not only is the Fir Darrig a challenge in his own right, but he’s also got friends…

Unfortunately for me, my love troubles aren’t the only troubles plaguing me. Even more important is my belief that there’s a traitor in my sister’s court, someone who is feeding information to Luce, public enemy number one. As Kinloch Kirk’s future becomes more and more unclear, I'll have to figure out the best way to bring the fight to Luce. And my man troubles? On the backburner. Or so I think they are.

Audrey Chevalier, Dureau’s beautiful French sister, seems overly interested in Master Vampire Sinjin Sinclair. And unless I'm mistaken, Sinjin appears to return Audrey’s affections. I'm not sure how to feel about that. Actually, that's not true--I don't like it. Not one bit. And I can't help but feel myself being pushed into the arms of Dureau. Not only that, but I'm also starting to second guess my decision to avoid a romantic attachment with Sinjin... Meanwhile, Jolie continues to gain allies as it appears the Underworld is soon to go to battle with Luce’s forces yet again. That is ...

When I find out I'm pregnant, I’ll have to deal with the fact that Sinjin doesn’t believe the baby is his—how could it be? He’s a vampire, after all, and incapable of reproducing. Or at least that’s what everyone thought. As if dealing with Sinjin isn’t enough, Dureau and I have decided to move forward with our plan to contact Luce’s tribespeople through their dreams. But there’s no guarantee this will even work. Sometimes all you have left is hope and I’m putting way too much stock in exactly that.

Something is wrong with Sinjin’s and my baby. Whereas once I could feel the baby’s emotions, now I can’t feel anything. Just a hollow void. Sinjin, wanting to understand exactly what's going on, will find himself traveling to Africa in his search to discover what evil is threatening our child. I can only hope he finds the answers and quickly because I’m fairly sure something is happening to our baby.

Dureau and I are still sticking to our guns: still hoping to reach Luce’s people in their dreams. The goal is to convince Luce’s people that they’ve been fed nothing but lies and that a better future awaits them if they agree to join Jolie’s court. But that plan doesn’t exactly go as we hoped it would. Not only that, but I can’t help but wonder how Dureau respond when he finds out I'm pregnant? And what happens when the two of us are forced to accept the help of Monsieur D?

As I await Sinjin’s return from Africa, with hopes he’ll have an answer or a cure as to why I can no longer feel the presence of my child, I’m riddled with concern. For Sinjin and for the baby. To make matters worse, Kinloch Kirk is under a magical attack. The question remains: by whom? Half the constituents of Jolie’s council believe the newly relocated Daywalkers are responsible, but others aren’t so sure.
