What do you get when you mix a warm tropical island, fifty gorgeously naked men, and one seriously horny woman together?
Pure Hell!
A reclusive Russian billionaire lives on her tropical playground of debauched and wildly animalistic sex. She’s happy where she is, doing what she’s doing, but her world is threatened by the man who aims to destroy the one thing she holds dear.
Alex Carson is her assistant, manager of the island and keeper of all her secrets. She hates the job of choosing men for her mistress’ sex games and wants to leave the island and that way of life, but knows it will only happen when the most deadly of all secrets is revealed.
Chris Cameron is the hot hunky actor and, although he doesn’t know it, the only man who holds the key to that secret. Lured to the island, he fights his way back from the depths of hellish nightmares to face the reality and truth of that night long ago. He aims to go home and plans to take Alex with him…as his wife.
Dimitri Yurogov is the Russian KGB-trained bodyguard of the reclusive billionaire and best friend to Alex Carson. He would and will do anything for both of the women in his life. Both of the women he loves. Even if it means murdering in their name. And murder is second nature to a man with such boundless talents.
Hell is what they’ve been living for the last seven years, and when four worlds collide in the same place at the same time with the same secret…hell hath no fury like a horny rich woman scorned!
If you love fifty shades of kick-ass heroines, and fall in love with hot hunky actors with secret lives, then you’ll love L.J. Diva’s The Billionaire’s Dirty Little Secret.

Carefully researched and compellingly written, A Skeleton in God's Closet explores the tension between faith and doubt when science and religion collide. In the end, it's a thought-provoking page-turner, driven by one man's determination to find the truth-no matter the cost.

THIS OLD HOUSE
A Lily Blooms in the Jaws of Hell
BOOK 1
VICTORIAN MYSTERY SERIES
I walked out of my grandmother’s home on Stockbridge Street in Eagle Lake, Texas, late on a Sunday night, and stared across the street. Against the night sky, all I could see was the crumbling walls that were nothing more than a ghostly silhouette of some previous grand existence. The evening summer breeze whistled through the trees bringing with it the laughter of children who once lived there and the caring call of a mother letting them know dinner was ready.
This novel has been in the works since its beginning in 2005 when a century and half old colonial style home was restored by the author and his wife, Barbara. For over twelve months, the house did an amazing transformation, the third time since its original construction in 1845. The first time it was restored was 1861. The second time in 1932 and the last time in 2005.
Although a work of fiction, the story was inspired by actual events that will raise the hair on the back of the reader’s neck. What happened to the woman who disappeared overnight? Stand and watch a paint lid as the name “Annie” is written in cursive in the wet paint right before your eyes. Or, listen to the heavy footsteps of a construction worker on the roof in the middle of the night? Smell cherry tobacco smoke in the hallways when no one is around? What lies under the white limestone rock in the rose garden, other than dirt?
Happy Reading!
