The McKenna Legacy
STEALING THUNDER
The first book in a new branch of the McKennas

They were strangers on Lakota land, and although a family curse prevented Tiernan McKenna from  finding love, it couldn't stop him from rescuing Ella Thunder. The daughter of a shaman, Ella was fearful of the power within her…and of a killer she'd long thought dead. With the Lakota beauty in mortal danger, Tiernan offered himself up as her protector, insisting they stick together 24/7. Remembering his family history, Tiernan knew acting upon their intense attraction was a dangerous line that would be wrong to cross. Even though the thought of it felt so incredibly right….

THE VAMPIRE AGENT

On the sultry streets of New Orleans, Captain Scott Boulder and Leah Maguire begin a deadly mission. The traumatized, genetically altered subjects of a Department of Defense experiment gone wrong have escaped, among them Rachel Ackart, a beautiful, seductive, and powerful woman–who is now under the dangerous influence of Andre Espinoza de Madrid, a vampire of incomparable evil and power. While Predator drones circle above New Orleans, and the sound of Black Hawk helicopters rends the air, Scott and Leah must fight their growing attraction to each other as they pursue their quarry amid the haunted and the damned. But Rachel is one step ahead of them. Andre’s vampire agent will soon unleash the greatest terror of all.

A Holiday Mystery in Jenkins Cove

CHRISTMAS DELIVERY

Of all the eerie events in her hometown of Jenkins Cove, Lexie Thornton found none more pulse-pounding than the return of her lover, thought murdered long ago in the misty bogs on Christmas Eve. But the man who stepped out of the shadows was very much alive—and hell-bent on revenge. Simon Shea had changed. The lanky teen had grown into a hardened man, one she barely recognized—but still desired. Lexie had a secret too—the daughter they’d made the night he disappeared. Lexie longed to resurrect their love, but someone wanted to make sure Simon never revealed his secret past.

The Annals of Alchemy and Blood
THE LAST VAMPIRE

Deep in a Texas cave, the military unearths a five-hundred year-old corpse, its desiccated flesh teeming with mysterious DNA that can transform mortals into beings of unimaginable power. Captain Scott Boulder, leader of a Black Ops unit that has been endowed with these superhuman abilities, is among the first to benefit from the find.  But when, with the help of a voodoo priestess, the creature is conjured to life, unleashing an ancient evil bent on reinstating its poisonous kind on earth, Scott knows he must return the monster to the grave. Powerless to fight this evil alone, Scott seeks the aid of reclusive anthropologist Leah Maguire, an expert in the mystical rituals of the past. To keep humanity from entering a new Dark Age, Scott and Leah will battle unspeakable horrors and will sacrifice everything they hold dear-perhaps even their own humanity-to destroy the last vampire.

It started as an arrangement of convenience, but Michael’s rough charms were nothing compared to the magic Flanna spun. After all, it was her legacy.…

WOLF MOON


He was a handsome, enigmatic stranger with dark secrets. But Rhys Lindgren was no match for Aileen McKenna… She'd come to the remote town of Wolf Creek to study wolves in the wild. But instead, found more than she bargained for: three dead bodies and frightened townsfolk convinced that a predatory wolf was on the loose. Aileen knew no animal was capable of that kind of carnage, and she intended to prove it. But would Rhys take her into the snow-covered woods to do just that? She'd have to be alone with him, secluded with him, and accept his untamed ways to draw out a beast…
