I thought being Karma would be a cinch. I thought wrong.
Turns out someone knows what I did to my jerk ex and his sleazy girlfriend. Or at least they left me a note telling me they knew, not that they bothered to sign it.
When my ex is reported missing and cops from my old town start sniffing around, I know I'm in trouble.
What's worse?
I find a body outside my house. The town philanderer.
Now everyone's giving me the side eye, including the man I had a crush on all those years ago, and rumors are flying, which jeopardizes my new job. To top it all off, I still don't know how to use my powers.
I thought life was supposed to get easier as you got older?
What does Karma have to do with the ghostly world? Apparently, everything.
When I meet a psychic in Mystic Hollow, I'm skeptical. Even though, you know, I've accepted most of the supernatural world. But who could blame me when the psychic acts like a stereotype from a really corny show?
Yet when our hands touch, everything changes. Suddenly, I'm seeing ghosts all over our little town. And when they realize I can see them, I become the karmic justice for far too many ghosts.
Just another crazy day in my life though, right? Wrong.
When one of the ghosts wants revenge against one of my witchy pals, I find myself trying to dive into the dark past of our town. Because this ghost is angry. And if I can't figure out the truth in time, our little gang is in trouble . . .
No one ever told me what to do if I ended up forty-something, divorced, and jobless.
When my ex knocks at my door with his new girlfriend I somehow manage to turn them into toads. But that's not possible, right?
Still, my ex-husband's car is in the driveway, and he's nowhere to be found. Which doesn't look great for me.
So I do the only rational thing I can think of . . . I run for it, straight back to the small town I grew up in. Mystic Hollow is exactly the way I remember it, except now it seems that everything I thought was normal and boring is supernatural. Even my group of childhood friends appear to be magical in unexpected ways. And the hot guy I had a schoolgirl crush on? Apparently, he's an alpha shifter who digs me.
Moving back home might be the fun I've been missing.
That is until my brother disappears. Now, it's up to me to find him, even if I have to take on vampires, shifters, sirens, and a whole lot of crazy to do it.
I know that so long as I have my friends backing me, I'll find him, because no one wants to be on karma's bad side . . .
I never expected to find a second mate. When my first mate didn't immediately kill him, I was hopeful-only to have those hopes dashed when their packs turned against us. We were deemed unnatural, a threat, something to be destroyed.?? Now we're on the run with nowhere to hide.? As if that's not enough, my old alpha's obsession with me hasn't ended. News of my unusual relationship must have reached him by now, but I know he won't give up. ? I need to figure out what having more than one mate means. The fates don't do that kind of thing lightly, so it's up to the three of us to find out why we were chosen. ? An oracle is our only hope, a wise woman who can help us, but only if we can get to her before either of the packs finds us. And, hopefully, without me mating with any more wolves on the way...?

Get swept away by this reverse-harem urban-fantasy romantic adventure!?
My life is a shadow of what it once was. I barely even have a toothbrush to call my own, and yet I wouldn't change anything. The bonds with my mates are growing stronger every day... and so am I. Now we're on a mission to hunt down the oracle and finally get some answers. There's only one thing that stands in the way, and that's the Shadow Forest. The wolves within are hostile to outsiders. We need to avoid them, but something tells me our journey through the forest won't be uneventful. Can the hunted also be the hunter?

My brother gave his life to help me escape the pack. Now after being in hiding for the last few years, I'm seeing shifters outside of their normal territory, and they're getting closer to my little patch of wolf-free paradise. If they find out I'm still alive, they'll haul me back and mate me to some random wolf, keeping me as a breeding machine to perpetuate our species. Forced imprinting is supposed to be forbidden, but if I know my pack, that won't stop them from getting what they want. With danger lurking around every corner and the chance of being caught getting ever higher, I'm on the verge of descending into hopelessness-until I meet Roman. But what if he's just the lure to chain me to a different pack? As badly as I want to be free from the obligations of a pack, that freedom just might cost me the guy. But as it turns out, my feelings for Roman are only half my trouble...

I was taught to fear the truth, a lesson my mother instilled in me from birth, but that was before. Before she disappeared without a trace and left me to navigate a world she taught me was dangerous, but never explained why.
I thought I could handle it alone, with only my best friend to share my secrets, but that was before them-before the men that plowed into my life and found a place for themselves.
They gave me everything-love, respect, but there was one thing I needed, that they didn't have. Answers.
Why was I taught to hide away? Why did I have to give up a life of riches for countless hours spent working a mine? And most importantly, what happened to the other Divine from the Zircon line?
Marcus said there were none left, but he didn't know what I did, that I was one. Still, that begged the question, was the source of my magic why I was hidden away? Was it the cause of awakening the dormant powers in those I grew close to? And finally, what was so wrong with it, that everyone like me was dead?
I didn't know the answer to any of those questions but finding myself exactly where my mother had always feared I'd end up, I have a feeling I'm going to find out.

A girl on the run should never fall in love with her bounty hunter. A witch should never fall in love, period.
But I did, and now I'm paying for my sins in Nightstone. I'm also committing all-new sins with a sexy alpha wolf and one delectable alpha vampire.
It's unheard of: two alphas from two different factions, falling in love with one woman. Our relationship has brought new peace when everyone expected a turf war.
Except . . . someone needs that war between my two alpha males. Bodies are turning up in Nightstone. The vamps and the shifters crave vengeance from each other, and if their alphas won't give it to them, they'll wash Nightstone with blood anyway.
On top of that, that sexy jerk of a bounty hunter just swaggered into Nightstone, and everyone wants to kill him. Including me. Most of the time. His gaze still sets my blood on fire, and sometimes, I want the man to live long enough to grovel.
Can I find a way to keep peace between the factions-and between these two alpha males in my bed-and to save my bounty hunter's life?

Three strikes and you're out? If only.
In my world, it's more of a one and done situation, even if you get that one strike trying to do something good. I've been on the run for years, never staying anywhere too long, never getting attached to anything or anyone because he will always find me.
Bane.
He's the best bounty hunter in existence, and I'm the one that got away, well, keeps getting away. If he wasn't so sexy I would hate him for it.
When the cat and mouse game turns more serious, I'm the one that ends up screwed, and not in the fun way. I won't survive in prison-not because I'm too delicate-but because my magic has always been tightly under control. Prison, though? When I'm surrounded by sexy shifters and drool-worthy vampires? That's where it will all get unleashed.
Contains mature themes.
What's my secret? That's something I intend to take to the grave.
When my best friend and the only person who knows who-and what-I really am gets selected for the Mating Games, I know the only way to save her is to try and win her for myself.
All I need to do is navigate three trials while not letting anyone know I'm a woman, or, and this might be even more important, that I have magic.
Easy, right? Easier than slaving away for all hours of the day swinging an ax in the mines. Or so I thought.
I certainly didn't count on the one man I've longed for, the one man who stirs feelings of femininity and desire within me, to enter the games as well. Every minute that I'm there I'm risking everything. If I'm discovered I'll become nothing more than a broodmare, but I can't abandon the woman who is like family to the fate that the Divine would deem she have.
I'll do whatever it takes to save her from the desolate future of becoming nothing more than a prize for the victor of the games. The only question is, will my secret still be intact by the time the trials are over? Or will I have condemned us both to a fate worse than death?

Some secrets are meant to be broken-the rewards outweighing the consequences. Some, however, bring about a change unlike any ever imagined.
The Mating Games challenged me; not only physically, but mentally, and the emotional toll it wreaked was the hardest part. Yet, I was starting to realize that the worst . . . and best . . . was yet to come.
Joining the Resistance opened up possibilities for me I'd never considered, but just like anything else worth having, the price was steep. The question I struggled with, was that cost worth it? I thought seeing Izzy safe would be enough to make me answer yes, but with my emotions strung as tight as a coil between the men who had found their way into my life, I had to face the fact that the dreams I always had were no longer part of the future I envisioned.
There was one thing for certain though, no matter what path I chose, somebody was going to wind up hurt. And by the Stones, all signs were pointing to that somebody being me.
