Lure of Obsession is only .99 in August!

Hey there!

It’s my birthday month, so I thought I’d celebrate with a book sale!

If you haven’t read my Muse Chronicles book series, you’re in for a wild ride! The Gods of Mythology are very much still around, and the daughters of Zeus, aka the Muses, find themselves in the crosshairs of the Order of the Titans.

Lure of Obsession is the first book and right now you can dive in for only 99 PENNIES!

New Moon by Lisa Kessler
"Oh, I was so waiting for his book.... And it did not disappoint! I loved Isabelle, she is a strong female for him, and I really like them as a pair... "
New Moon by Lisa Kessler

New Moon by Lisa Kessler

Magnolia Mystic by Lisa Kessler
“His lips trailed down her neck to her shoulder. She smelled like lavender and musk, and he filled his lungs with her scent. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she drew her legs up around his waist. He never wanted this to end, but his body had other plans, his thrusts coming faster now. But he wasn’t coming alone. He moved his hand between them and toyed with her until she gasped. “Don’t stop!”
Lisa Kessler
Magnolia Mystic by Lisa Kessler
“He’d given up waiting for her within a few years, and decades later forgot the witch’s prophecy altogether. But the second the trespasser with auburn hair and violet eyes looked up at him, the old woman’s voice echoed through his mind, like she’d been lurking in the shadows as the centuries passed, just waiting.

A woman with violet eyes will signal the beginning and ending of your life.”
Lisa Kessler
Lisa Kessler answered M.C.'s question: Lisa Kessler
Hi M.C. -

I ad a non-fiction book contract that popped in and interrupted my fiction publishing schedule, but Flawed is halfway finished so I'm hoping it'll be out late summer or early fall and Tainted will be out beginning of 2026!

“He took the spatula and smiled, and she headed for the bedroom, only stopping once to see if he was watching her ass wiggle under his shirt.

He chuckled. “I’d have to be dead not to look.”

“I’m glad to see you’re in good health.” She grinned.”
Lisa Kessler, Lure of Obsession

“You’re the fairy tale I never believed existed.”
Lisa Kessler, Sedona Surrender

“He raised a brow at another abrupt change in the conversation. “Are you disappointed I couldn’t dodge a couple bullets?”

A real smile teased her lips as she lowered her coffee mug. “On the contrary, I’m a sucker for a guy with scars, so for your protection, we should probably stick to the case.”
Lisa Kessler, Lure of Obsession
