Detective Milo Dragovitch spends too much time boozing until he gets caught up in a case involving two-bit criminals and an old lady on the run. His friends call him Milo.

The Larion spell table has been dormant for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. It waits in a forgotten chamber in Sandcliff Palace, the abandoned Larion Senate stronghold on Eldarn's North Sea. The spell table holds the power to see the people of the five lands safely through the oppression and brutality that have haunted them for generations, but without Lessek's key it is a worthless slab of granite - and Lessek's key itself is just a nondescript stone Steven Taylor and Mark Jenkins overlooked on the night they fell through the far portal into Eldarn. Retrieving the key and freeing Eldarn's people rests with Steven Taylor, the would-be sorcerer from Colorado, who is racing across America with Nerak, the fallen Larion dictator, hot on his heels. Steven must reach Idaho Springs and find Lessek's key before it falls into Nerak's hands and is lost for ever - and with it, the lives of untold millions, in both of Steven's worlds.

A vampyre, a werewolf, and a warlock walk into a bar… But seriously. Aggie gave up that life long ago--even moving across the ocean to avoid it. Power, spells, and the coven's manipulations were supposedly left behind in the States. When Aggie thought to treat herself on her fortieth birthday, the last thing she expected was to be followed home by three hunky, magickal men. She's spent most of her life keeping everyone at arm's length, so why is she suddenly attracting the paranormal like flies to honey? Now, these three men are competing for one prize--her. The only problem? Aggie isn't up for the taking. If she gives up her virginity she unlocks her full powers, and loses her life of solitude once her coven finds her. What's a horny virgin to do? It's like her mother always said, you can't take the itch out of the witch--especially one who's a forty-year-old virgin.

For the last several years, Brayden felt like an outcast amongst his friends. Since the day he saw a man shift into a wolf, he knew he no longer belonged in their circle. They were immersed in the paranormal world while he was away at college, living the life of an ordinary human. One night while he was walking home, he saw a dog in need of help. Turns out, it wasn’t a dog at all. Kandra was a wolf shifter on the run. She’d fled an abusive relationship, running from a male she once thought she could trust. As a lone wolf, she was free, but she was also slowly dying. Pack life wasn’t something Kandra wanted, and she never thought she’d trust another male. Yet, she trusted Brayden. In him, she found the opportunity to join a new pack—shifters who would be there when she needed them. But the past came calling, and they would take back what was theirs. Kandra’s life was in danger and Brayden would do whatever it took to keep his mate safe, including asking a vampire to bite him. His new life was extraordinary—because she was in it. With his vampire given powers, Brayden was ready to fight for the one he loved. Now all he had to do was find her. Content warning for abuse, rape, and assault.

Book Description
This is book 1 of the Lucky Skulls MC series! Books 2 and 3 are available everywhere now! Fate put her in my arms. Then I put her on her knees. She brought me back from death’s door. In return, I brought her body to the brink of shattering – over and over again. But our frozen paradise becomes an icy hell when my enemies discover I’ve survived their assault. And they’re coming to finish the job. CIARAN I would have died without her. Lying in a freezing, barren ditch on the side of the road, I felt the life slipping from my body. Warmth, feeling, thought – all was gone by the time she arrived. And when I looked into those sapphire eyes, I thought I was seeing an angel. But the patient nurse brings me back to life. All the things that I thought I lost came roaring back with a vengeance. Rage, for the men who tried to kill me and failed. Pride, knowing that I am not a man easily put to death. And lust – hot, burning lust – for the innocent girl locked in this cabin with me. A swirling blizzard has us trapped for days. As long as we’re stuck here, I’ve got big plans for my savior. For her luscious lips, her untouched curves, for the warmth emanating between her legs. The only sound I want to hear is her moaning. But news of my survival manages to travel beyond the walls of our little cabin oasis. The men who ordered the hit are determined to put me down for good. And this time, they know how to hit me where it really hurts. When they kidnap Elle, I know what I have to do, the one thing I do best. Take my gun in my hands and get ready to kill for what I love. My woman is coming back to me. No matter who I have to slaughter to get her. ELLE Maybe saving him was a mistake. That’s all I can think as I scream and struggle against the crushing hands of the men who are taking me. They’re used to violence, these men. Used to hurting and abusing women. My screams are music to their sick, twisted ears. Maybe I should just submit to their torture. Would that make it go faster? But I know that, no matter what happens next, Ciaran was worth it. The touch of his hands on my skin was a sensation worth dying for. And the heat of his love is worth fighting to feel again. I make up my mind: I won’t give in easily to these evil SOB’s. I’ll make them sweat to keep me quiet. Because my hero is coming for me. With fire and fury, Ciaran will kick down the door and kill any man who lays a finger on me. Deep in my heart, I know that’s true. I just have to hope he makes it in time. *** Dark, twisted, delicious – this motorcycle club romance series is a good time waiting to happen.
