In 1816, a Faerie queen pleads for her to cease the tremors and rewards Nessía with a human form. To stay human, she must find love. When the man she believes she loves casts her aside, Nessía responds to the betrayal by cursing the men of the MacDonald clan with the inability to keep a woman’s love. Only an act of true selflessness will break the curse.
After centuries pss, Nessía again searches for love. When Rory Hawthorn, an American scientist, arrives under the pretext of researching the earthquakes but in reality to research his MacDonald heritage and the curse, she believes she has found the perfect mate.
Amid stolen kisses, another earthquake, a steamy night of passion, and a broken heart, Nessía returns to the murky depths of the loch. When Rory dives in to follow her, he meets the green, scaly Loch Ness Monster. Assuming Nessía is in danger, he is intent on killing the monster and saving the woman he loves.

BOOK BLURB
The clashing relationship between tomboy Josie Miller and fellow paramedic-firefighter, Pete Thayer, escalates after he realizes Joe is not just one-of-the-boys. Pete has a sketchy history and has earned a reputation for one-night stands in the small town of Parmenter, New Hampshire nestled between the Mercy River, the mountains, and the small college. Since he arrived a year ago, Josie suspects he is hiding something. Something too horrible to share, even with her. Working side by side, Joe loves her job, and Pete.
They respond to accident calls, medical emergencies, and fast-moving forest fires amid sparks of another kind. Joe’s clumsiness and baggy uniform work against her when she yearns to be the kind of woman Pete wants like the pretty blonde they must rescue after her car hits a moose.
Outside influences come to play when the sister of Pete’s alleged victim shows up and accuses him of something even worse…her sister’s recent death. Once on track to be a doctor, the sister’s betrayal and lies caused Pete to run far away and keep women at a distance unless they agreed to share his bed…and nothing more.
Pete plans to skip town while Josie worries she has given her heart to a monster. A suicide note, some well-landed fists, stolen moments of love, and a desire to listen to their hearts lead these two heroes toward a climax filled with tension, pain, bloodshed, and atonement.

EXCERPT
The girls were the biggest joy she’d found in her marriage. Here she was visiting her sister in order to accompany her to her friend’s wedding. A Christmas wedding. Why torture myself? Because, Marti asked me.
“How romantic,” she’d told Marti when they talked the day Marti called to tell her the invitation had arrived.
“Why anyone would want to marry in the middle of winter is beyond me. But, you can stay with me, and I have a friend who can watch the kids.”
“You’re sure?”
“Yes. Listen. My deployment is imminent. I want to spend the most time I can with my only sister before—”
“Don’t say it. We’ll deal with it when the day comes.”
“Right.”
The memory faded as Jayne idled at a stop sign and fiddled with the defogger. The windows had clouded from her hot breath. She rubbed one gloved hand over the inside of the windshield, the leather squeaking across the glass. The steamy windows reminded her of a long ago Christmas Eve when Chris kissed her, then drove to a dark spot along the bayou. His kisses had deepened until their clothes had ended up scattered around the pickup’s interior.
Jayne shivered from the image, not the coolness of her car’s interior. Chris had tasted of beer and something sweeter.
“Hot chocolate.”

EXCERPT
“She is gone.” Draco sat on a rocky outcropping and stared toward the main coast of Scotland. Storm clouds rose in the north while rain shrouded his island under low gray clouds.
Within moments, icy droplets pinged on his scales and dripped off the leathery wings curved over his head. Smoke puffed from both nostrils as he remembered making love with Brianna.
“Love? She could ne’er love a dragon,” he muttered.
“Are ye a dragon or a man? All I see is a coward.”
Draco launched himself toward the gray figure. Agatah swiped one boney arm to her side, and he plunged to the sea.
He clawed his way to the surface and headed for shore with two paddles of his talon-clad limbs. A huge breaker pounced upon him and shoved him to the sandy bottom. He stayed submerged as he ran on open talons until he reached the shore.
“I hate the water.”
“I know this, ye dumb beast. ‘Tis why I tossed ye in.”
