No matter how many light years you travel, the past is never far behind. Tired of a life on the run, Kiwi has put down roots on a science vessel. She finds more than she bargained for in the form of cocksure, overachieving, too-sexy-for-his-own-good Dr. Conell Ballou. His arrogance is infuriating–which, strangely, makes her want him more.
Since the tiny spitfire of a mechanic boarded his vessel, Conell hasn’t been able to focus on much of anything except her. Kiwi’s mere presence pulses through every synthetic and humanoid part of his body. And, unknown to both Kiwi and Conell, her past is entwined with his.
But a deranged captain of the Vanos, the alien race from which they’re defending mankind, is still hunting for Kiwi. Against all the odds, Conell and Kiwi have a second chance at happiness–if the enemy doesn’t find them first.

What do you get when you have an IQ that is off the charts, the inability to let go of someone you love and a lot of spare parts? The man of your dreams, of course. Dr. Aeron Braxton is on the verge of unveiling her newest creation–a droid who can pass as either human or Vanos.
An alien race took the man she loved away from her, but her revenge is at hand. Aeron has rebuilt Brad into a living, breathing killing machine she hopes will save the outer quadrants from a mass Vanos invasion.
Too bad the brilliant scientist didn’t calculate the probabilities of love getting in the way.

Rain with a Chance of Deer
Kobo Nook Amazon US Amazon UK Amazon AU Amazon CA Rain with a Chance of Deer Grimm Cove® Series The forecast: one hundred percent chance of trouble… and maybe love.
I thought taking a position at Grimm University would be the start of something normal—new job, new town, maybe even a chance to have a life that didn’t revolve around data models and weather forecasts. As an Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Data Science in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, I figured my biggest challenge would be calibrating sensors.
Then a deer ran through my holiday light display.
Correction—a man who turns into a deer ran through it.
One minute I’m stringing up twinkle lights, the next I’m face-to-face with a very naked, very apologetic deer-shifter who swears it was an accident involving fermented berries. Apparently, that kind of thing happens in Grimm Cove more often than you’d think.
Now my carefully ordered world is unraveling faster than a string of cheap holiday lights. My storm data keeps showing impossible readings, the town’s weather is acting like it has a temper, and every time Gilbert Carol—the accidental deer missile himself—is nearby, the air practically hums with electricity.
Something’s happening to me—something I can’t explain with science. And if the universe thinks pairing me with a chaotic shifter who can’t stay out of trouble is the way to teach me about magic, it has a wicked sense of humor.
In Grimm Cove, nothing is ever ordinary… and it turns out, neither am I.

As Liz starts breaking off one workplace relationship, another one–that has been brewing since the first day she arrived in New York, blossoms–leaving her confused and concerned. She’d been burned once by love and isn’t willing to risk her heart again, especially not to a man who was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth.

When he finds out she’s been sleeping with their boss, he decides it’s time to take matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, winning Liz’s heart isn’t an easy game to play. It will take more than romantic gestures and sweet nothings to get the woman he loves. Thankfully, he’s a very persistent man. But is this a game even he can’t win?
