This is a family saga/romantic drama.
It's the story of Cara, a 70 year old grandmother looking back on her life and the secrets she has kept, and it looks at how history can repeat itself. It also deals with the subject of domestic violence, inspired by my years as a family lawyer.
Magic lives among us, if you know where to look
She’s running from fate…
Shea Tedaldi is the only thing standing between her six-year-old brother and the men who killed their parents. Descendants of the ancient Etruscan magical race, Shea and her brother keep powerful secrets that make them the targets of the evil Malandante. They’ve been looking for a safe haven but the bad guys are gaining on them and Shea needs a hero, a guardian who won’t falter in the face of danger…
He’s looking for the key to break the spell…
Gabriel Borelli is a warrior born to protect the Etruscan witches living under a curse. He’s dedicated to breaking the spell and avenging the murder of his father by the Malandante. He won’t let anything—or anyone—get in his way. Not even the one woman who may hold the key to his quest…and his heart.
Hi, my name is Valerie Douglas. If you're looking for a good contemporary romance series with characters you can connect with, I hope you'll like my Millersburg Quartet series - four books about four unique women, all best friends, and the men they love. Love is never easy, but it's more difficult when you're the 'different' ones. Then you grow up.
Ali was always too smart. When both her career and her relationship crash and burn, she escapes to Ireland to get a sense of her roots and the mother she barely remembers. When she offers handsome Aidan O'Connell a lift from his broken down car, she gains an impromptu tour guide. But is Aidan only looking for a brief Irish Fling?
Cam Kenyon was the sensible one of the group, the one who always had her nose in a book. Now she's a psychologist, and she's returned to the town where she grew up. Now, if only she could apply that confidence to Noah Denton, her old high school crush who's now running for District Attorney. When she discovers someone intends to use Dirty Politics against him, though, she can't stand aside.
Once the golden boy in Hollywood, Jack Tyler's life and career are on the skids. He's fighting his demons and hoping to rediscover his love of theater. Struggling to find some direction, he visits an old friend in Millersburg and discovers the community theater group there.
He also discovers schoolteacher Molly Brighton.
Molly, though, wants no part of the sexy new director. He's too handsome, too charming, too dangerous to her heart. The attraction is difficult to ignore, especially when aided by Jack's old friend, an unrepentant matchmaker with his own reasons for bringing them together.
Jesse Chamberlain gives a new definition to wild child. For novelist Mitch Donovan, whose world has been turned upside down by heartbreak and grief, Jesse's just the thing to pull him out of writer's block and the tailspin he's been in. The announcement of a possible new M. J. Donovan novel, though, brings a 'fan' out of hiding. What the fan doesn't count on is Jesse.

My new historical romance Shades of Gray is available at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com. Shades of Gray blurb:
Mail order bride, Kat Bailey has more to fear than malicious rumors about a crazed murderer. But a woman with no money or family has few options. She quickly learns that her intended groom is not as honorable as Hampton society believes him to be. Beaten by her betrothed, she seeks refuge in the home of the most feared man in town.
Accused murderer, Grayson Gregory is more interested in guarding a family secret than clearing his name. When a broken and battered woman collapses on his doorstep, he is reminded of a torturous past he can't escape. Kat may have opened old and festered wounds, but he can’t deny the fire she ignites in him.
Kat is determined to uncover the truth about Gray, regardless of what she finds. As their attraction to one another grows, Gray must confront his dark past in order to keep her safe. His secrets unfold, forcing him to choose between a new love, or to remain plagued by the demons of his past.
Shades of Gray excerpt:
Her eyes stared straight ahead, seeming to focus on nothing specific. Gray knelt in front of her, placing his materials next to his knee on the floor, keeping them within an easy reach. With careful attention on her face, he reached up and unfastened the buttons on her nightdress. She wobbled, but didn’t prevent the fabric from lowering down her arms. The bulk of the flannel lay on her lap.
Gray sat back on his haunches and studied the thin layer of cotton she still wore. It had been his experience that women wore nothing under their nightdress when sleeping. Not as bulky as a chemise, this light-weight material was only worn… he looked at her face. It seemed odd that she would have it on now. Daria’s bridal slip had not lasted for one minute after he came into their wedding chambers.
At least the blonde woman had stopped crying. He dipped a clean cloth in the water and wrung it out. Holding to her chin, he wiped her face, dabbing delicately around her hairline. Bad judgment shouldn’t be held against her.
He eased his way behind her. Red welts crisscrossed her back, but her left shoulder blade would need additional attention. A four inch wound lay open with dry and crusted blood banking the swollen rim. He eyed his salve, warming by the fire. There should be enough for tonight. He thought there was a larger container in the kitchen.
Wadding a cloth in one hand, he held the linen under the cut. With his other hand, he wiggled the stopper free from the whiskey bottle and breathed deep. It was impossible to prepare her for what was to come. He tipped the bottle, dousing her shoulder with the alcohol. She cried out, and he moved the dripping towel to her forehead. He might as well clean her brow while the burning sensation lingered.
“I know it stings,” he said. “Go ahead. Cry out if you must. It has to be done, but there’s no reason you must suffer in silence.”
The corner of his mouth twitched and he pressed his lips together. Her wounds would take weeks to heal, and scarring was a possibility. He closed his eyes and pushed from his mind images of Daria. She had not recovered in a few short weeks.

Hi all - I just released my second book, A Different Kind of Forever and it's already getting a little buzz here on Goodreads!
Here’s the blurb –
Michael Carlucci, the hot, young musical genius behind the successful rock band, NinetySeven, knows that he’s found the woman for him. Diane Matthews is not just beautiful and smart, she’s got an infectious passion for everything in her life, from her three daughters to her new play. For him, the search is over. He knows they belong together.
For Diane, it’s not as simple. She’s almost twenty years older than Michael. She’s not interested in a permanent relationship – she’s very happy with her life just the way it is, thank you very much. But she can’t deny the growing attraction between them – and it’s not just his touch that she craves. But it’s not until Michael is gone and an old love returns that she realizes just what he meant to her. He said he would love her forever. Can she trust that? Or should she find a safer route to happiness?
A Different Kind of Forever is the story about two complicated people finding – and trying to hold on – to love.
On Amazon and B&N, and only $.99 until May 1.
Tom FleckThe year: 1513. The place: North-East England.
Tom Fleck, a downtrodden farm worker but gifted archer, yearns to escape his masters. He unearths two objects that could be keys to freedom: a torque of ancient gold and a Tudor seal ring. He cannot know how these finds will determine his future.
Rachel Coronel is a refugee and craves an end to her wanderings. When the torque comes to rest around the neck of this mysterious woman, an odyssey begins which draws Tom Fleck into borderlands of belief and race.
The seal ring propels Tom on a journey of self-knowledge that can only climax in another borderland, among the ‘flowers of the forest’ on Flodden Field.
Inside introduction:
Here are Tudor kings and their nobles - their documented lives are rich material for writers - but now they play a minor part. This is the story of Tom Fleck, a penniless farm labourer, who shares his dwelling with cattle. He is fictional only because he leaves no record - his people live before the keeping of parish registers, so they make no marks on parchment and are lost to history.
We find his rare surname in the register of St. Hilda’s church at Hartlepool:
Baptisms 1596, September 19th : Christofer ye child of Willm. Fleck.
Perhaps William heard tales of how his great grandfather, Thomas, loved a strange woman and stood with the army on the terrible battlefield of Flodden. This story brings him to life.
My ebook is titled Dream Journal and is a contemporary romance. The book is over 55,0000 words in length and captures emotion according to a recent review.Description:
Adam’s grandparents don’t know what to do with him when he is rendered mute after a fire claims both his parents and his home. His elderly guardians consider it a miracle when the boy starts talking out of the blue after dreaming of a mysterious girl. Over the years, Adam records the reoccurring dreams of the girl in a journal, until they fade away and he leaves the town of Willow Brook to attend college and further his path to a writing career. Adam returns a 23 year old aspiring writer and begins working in his grandparents’ book store, while finishing his manuscript. He is startled when he crosses paths with the very girl from his dreams in reality. An upper class girl named Sarah, who is staying in Willow Brook for the summer. The two start a beautiful summer romance, in which they fall in love. But, the secret of the Dream Journal could threaten to tear them apart. Adam must somehow prove to Sarah that miracles exist and their love is real. The stakes are stacked against Adam and his heart can’t bear to lose the angel who saved him from his sorrow.

Romantic Suspense.
http://www.paulamillhouse.com
Can be borrowed for free with Amazon Prime for Kindle owners.
Tragic romance with erotic content. NC-18.
Book Description:
Why would a woman entering middle age--attractive, sexy, articulate, imaginative, intelligent, charming, charismatic, wealthy and successful in almost every aspect of her life--knowingly give up the only thing missing from that life: namely, love? And love with a younger man she meets serendipitously not once, but three times--and whose appreciation of her quickly grows from mere physical attraction to adoration and then to obsession? The riddle from start to finish is perhaps to be found in the word "knowingly." The answer to that riddle? Revealed only in the final chapter.
DANEKA SØRENSEN is a Danish transplant to NYC, where she manages her life from an Upper East Side apartment building by night and from the top floor of a mid-town skyscraper by day--ostensibly, all under tight control. KIT ADDISON is a fashion photographer with a sideline penchant for flora and poetry who lives on the Lower East Side. The distance between them, however, is about much more than a mere hundred city blocks.
In Chapter One, serendipity brings Daneka and Kit together for the first time as both are exiting the Columbia campus--she from a poetry class in which she dabbles once a week, he from Philosophy Hall in which he labors days and nights without respite. This first encounter is both poetic and philosophical--but too hot to be captured in a mere haiku, too impulsive to be squeezed into an imperative, moral or historical, for either of them. At the start of Chapter Two, already eleven years later, they--or rather his camera and the front bumper of her limousine--meet a second time on a zebra crossing. Her search for a photographer for a special project (too hot and too imperative for any of the more than competent staff of a major magazine of which she is the Managing Editor) leads to a third serendipitous meeting. What follows these three meetings is, in the coming weeks, a game of cat and mouse--until, that is, their affair becomes such that "it seemed as if they might engulf each other in this single, ferocious act, like tigers chasing their own tails and slowly churning, turning, burning into butter."
Their affair takes them from New York to Paris, to the coast of Portugal, to Rome and Positano, Italy, to the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, then back to New York City. What they discover about each other in those few weeks is more than most people discover in a mate or lover over a lifetime. The exploration is an erotic Elysian field, but also a psychological inferno.
What gradually comes to light in the space of two continents and one return transatlantic flight is that, while love's bite may initially be sweet, the aftertaste may be exceedingly bitter--when not downright nauseating.

Thank you to one and all! I promise you won't be disappointed. (You may find the snippets of dialogue in several languages other than English a little annoying, but you'll understand why long before you finish the book.)
You also won't discover any typos or other errors. Before I became an author, I was a professional editor -- and that, following a decade of teaching English as a Second Language. Editors and teachers of ESL are paid to get it right the first time around: someone else's future may be in your hands.

A fine piece of good news:The Eildon Tree, the arts magazine of the Scottish Borders, has reviewed 'Tom Fleck'. Sept 9th, next year, will be the 500th anniversary of Flodden Field (precursor of the ballad 'Flowers of the Forest'). In 2013 Flodden is to be celebrated with more than the usual ardour.
Here's the review (and I'm thrilled!):
'TOM FLECK'
A NOVEL OF CLEVELAND
AND FLODDEN
Harry Nicholson
Historical Novel
2011
261 pages
£7.99
ISBN: 978-1-908147-76-9
also an eBook.
With The Flodden 500 Project coming to fruition next year, there
will be a resurgence of interest in one of the bloodiest battles ever
fought on English soil and this is likely to produce an outpouring of
academic opinion on the whys and wherefores of the conflict. There is
nothing wrong with that, but Harry Nicholson has anticipated the flood
of paper and got in ahead of the field—yes, it is a work of fiction, but
it has been thoroughly researched in terms of historical background and
it is set in a part of the country that the author knows intimately. These
aspects are apparent throughout the story and the book has real historical
and geographical credibility ahead of and beyond, 2013.
However, the story is not just about Flodden, although the battle
is an important part. Its setting is wider than this—north Yorkshire,
Durham and Northumberland, and the Scottish Borders and its subject
matter is also broad, covering agricultural life, class conflict, racial
tension, love, passion with quite a bit of lust, plenty of adventure
throughout and, of course, the battle scenes.
Tom Fleck is a poor, unread, farm hand, but with exceptional skills
as an archer, whose forebears were once yeomen and unfairly deprived
of ‘their own hide of land’ by the lord of the manor. Tom yearns to better
himself but, to do so, has to leave his home and family. He is inspired
by his dead father’s words, ‘Sharp as quivering hares are the Flecks. We’ve
eyes and ears for things other folk miss’.
Two objects that he has unearthed could be the key to his future, an
ancient gold torque and a Tudor seal ring that bring him into contact
with Rachel Coronel who longs to end her Jewish wanderings as an
outcast. Before getting very far, Tom makes an enemy of the lord’s son,
which bodes ill, but he is fortunate in being taken into the service of the
Norroy King of Arms whose task is to record men wearing coats of arms
in the north.
However, Tom is in the wrong place at the wrong time when men are
needed to fight against a Scottish army that is mustering in Edinburgh
and expected to move south. The reader’s attention is grabbed
and held by the very first words of the book:
Wings clattered through branches. Tom Fleck stayed his axe in mid-swing as
two wood pigeons flung themselves into the mist. He looked down at the dog as
her throat rumbled. She raised a paw,shot him a glance, then – ears cocked
– faced along the track. Metal clinked somewhere.
He whispered, ‘Whisht now. Come away.’
Harry Nicholson is good at this. Atmosphere abounds and pace and
good story telling are maintained throughout a book that is difficult
to put down; description is plentiful and often poetic, but is always
relevant to the story and never ‘contrived’. Readers will delight
in the descriptions of the land, the plants, the birds and the animals
and will enjoy the contribution of Tom’s dog, ‘Meg’. There are also
the dark sides of human nature and experience, poverty, drunkenness,
cruelty, conflict and death. It is for the reader to find out what
happens—the reviewer can certainly recommend it as a very good read
and hope that this first novel is followed by many more.

A LEGACY OF REVENGE, the sequel to my bestselling romantic suspense novel, Legacy of the Highlands (4.6 stars from 61 reviews on Amazon), has finally been published in all formats from the usual e-book sellers.
This is what one U.K. reader said: Great blend of romance, sex, and scary thrills. Kept me on edge the whole way through with a perfect end.
And here's the blurb:
When a fourteenth-century Scottish oath leads to murder in present-day Boston, the victim's devastated widow seeks revenge. Determined to find and punish the person who killed her husband Will, Alexandra Cameron joins forces with his best friend, Diego Navarro.
The handsome, wealthy and powerful Argentine never expected to win Alex’s heart, yet two years after the senseless killing, their love blazes with heat and passion. Their bliss is threatened by a Scotsman who blames the couple for the death of his son — Will Cameron’s murderer. The ruthless predator targets Alex and forces the deadly game of revenge into its next round.
Pursuing Honor, The Forever Time Travel Romance Series, Book 2Blurb:
Hunter Morgan is intelligent, handsome, and in love with Honor Moran. She has never given any indications that she would accept his marriage proposal, but medical school is over and Hunter needs to make his intentions known. All set to pop the question, he sees her nervously enter a dark alleyway known for ruthless activity. Hunter fears for her safety, and charges into the shadows after her. How could he know that his chivalrous act would launch him two hundred and fifty years into the past?
Honor had no idea it was possible to bring someone along with her when she traveled through time. She never wanted to hurt anyone during her stay in the future, especially Hunter. For two years, she has evaded his good looks and attention, but now, he lays unconscious at her feet, and has no way to return to his time.
Thrown back to a time as foreign to him as the means in which he got there, Hunter is determined to prove he is suited for anything as long as he has Honor's heart. Her growing feelings for him are threatened when her mysterious sister interrupts their chance for happiness. Honor will stop at nothing to prove her love for Hunter. And Hunter, he may have won the heart of the woman he loves, but is he willing to stay in a time that is not his own?
Excerpt:
Honor stiffened, trying to decide what she should do about the closeness they shared. She had been content with a handhold, but she didn't want to encourage anything more than a casual friendship. After all, she could no longer duck into her dorm room because she felt uncomfortable, or hold a laptop between them to maintain distance. Drawing her lips tight, she gave in to her baser instincts, slipped her arm behind his back, and hooked her thumb through his belt loop. She knew she shouldn't encourage a relationship with him, but it was so easy to be with Hunter. He listened to every word she said as though he was truly interested. Instead of talking down to her, he encouraged her thoughts and opinions. To add to his mystique, he was able to stimulate her thoughts, helping her arrive at accurate, patient diagnoses.
Against her better judgment, she shifted closer, dissolving beneath his embrace like frost trying to resist a warm sunrise. Tears stung her eyes. She had been so careful. When had he become more than a friend? She turned her face into him and sighed as his chest rose and fell against her cheek. There was no denying Hunter Morgan was her strength, her comfort, her joy, but more importantly, at some point over the last two years, he had become her heart. It was going to be hard to send him back to his own time.
"Honor," Hunter said. He gently shook her shoulder, jostling her from her euphoric state. Instead of sobering, she moved her hand to his chest. It would be so easy to drift off to sleep while held in his arms.
"Hmm?" she murmured. Did he know how close she was to answering 'yes' to anything he asked?

Hi everyone,I hope you are all well.
This is the synopsis of my recent book; "Blood Borne Connections"
Synopsis
Blood Borne Connections is a fictional thriller about the Mafia, human sex trafficking, and the ability to survive against all odds.
When 15-year-old Tatiana leaves a Czechoslovakian orphanage with four other girls for a new start in America, they are promised a better life. Less than a month later, Tatiana and the others are forced into prostitution by sex traffickers. When a Mafia boss discovers some of his men are involved in sex trafficking children, he instigates a Mafia war to cleanse his organization and stop the trafficking. In the aftermath, people on both sides of the law are killed.
Blood Borne Connections takes the girls on a ride they never bargained for. Can their road to ruin turn into a journey of hope?
