What She was Missing

 

Someone once said, ‘Running from your problems never solves anything’.

That someone – was a liar.

After four years of hiding, Alisa Leighton is just as sure of her decision to run as the day she’d left. Sheltered in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, she’s opened a haven for abused women, giving them a chance to start over.

But the affects of domestic violence radiate, touching everyone in its sphere and when Donovan Marshall comes into the town courthouse, Alisa finds it impossible to walk away from the pain and desperation she recognizes in his eyes – especially since she harbors a deep guilt for turning his little sister away – a week before her murder.

Alisa’s offer to show Donovan a way to honor his sister’s memory pulls him into her world, where attraction, indecision, and guilt tug at the scattered emotions inherent in trusting again until Alisa and Donovan must find security in one another as a deadly threat puts all their lives in danger.

Primitive Nights

 
Myla Jordan is thrust into the midst of the very tribe she is trying to protect. Shocked to encounter a tribal leader with green eyes and lighter skin than his heritage should bequeath, she is both scared and intrigued by the man. Wild, strong, and educated by his English mother, Damon’s concern for his tribe and the innate kindness she discovers within his tough exterior not only win her heart, but drive her to find a way to save him and his tribe.

Damon Hanson, known to his tribe as Maglayo, finds Myla inspiring. The only contact he’s had with white men has been cruel, but Myla’s gentleness and faith in the good in all humanity gives Damon a sense of hope for his tribe’s survival. The knowledge that Myla cannot live among his people, and his anxiety of entering her world, threaten to keep them apart.

Two people, whose lives couldn’t be more different or complex, and yet a succinct affair blooms into a love neither of them expected. While outside forces seek to destroy Damon’s tribe, Myla must prove her desire to help even as she’s considered the enemy. Rival tribes and illness add to the difficulty they face, until Myla and Damon must bridge the gap between their cultures and find the strength to stand against a common enemy.
