APHRODITE’S KISS Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award “Like a carnival fun house, full of surprises and just plain good old-fashioned entertainment.”—Romance Reviews Today “A true original, filled with humor, adventure and fun!”—RT Book Reviews Zoe Smith might look like your average, ordinary elementary school librarian, but she’s about as far from normal as a girl can get. Because Zoe is descended from a line of superheroes … and as her twenty-fifth birthday approaches, she has to decide if she’s going to embrace her heritage (including all the wackiness that comes with X-ray vision and her extraordinary senses) or submit herself for mortalization and be that average, ordinary girl. Considering how lousy she’s done so far on all the Council-imposed tests, chucking the whole superhero thing might be very best thing … especially when she realizes that sexy, private investigator George Bailey Taylor is more than a little interested in her—and he’s more than a little convinced that Zoe is one-hundred percent “the girl next-door”. An ex-cop turned PI, George Bailey Taylor’s had one hell of a life being bounced around from foster home to foster home. All he wants now is a normal life with a normal wife in a normal neighborhood. The typical American dream—and when he meets Zoe Smith, he’s certain she’s the typical American girl. Except she does have an overprotective brother who seems able to appear and disappear at will. And a creepy cousin who’s always lurking about. And why does everyone in her family pretend to actually talk to the pet ferret? With her super powers, Zoe can do just about anything … except make Taylor fall in love with her. For that, they’re both going to need a different kind of magic … less

Who says Mom knows best? Jennifer Martin has worked with enough Protectors to know that she has absolutely no interest in dating—much less marrying!—the arrogant superheroes. Too bad her mom has a completely different view on the subject … and is determined that Jenny marry one of those perfectly “perfect” men. Starbuck is undercover, pretending to be a mortal as he searches for a spy who’s selling Council secrets to the biggest bad guy of all, Hieronymous. Falling for Jenny is not only a distraction from his job, it’s also going nowhere. Because even if she likes him as a man, he knows damn well that she’s not going to like him as a Protector anymore than she will appreciate the lies he’s told in order to get close to her. And to make matters worse, Jenny’s mom is his most likely suspect. It’s a conundrum and a half, but with a little luck (and a few rare superpowers), Starbuck just might manage to catch the mole—and get the girl!

Aphrodite’s Girdle is missing, and the magical artifact will take all of Hale’s superpowers to retrieve. The woman who found the belt—one Tracy Tannin—wasn’t exactly Ms. Popular before donning it. Now everyone wants her, including some very nasty bad guys.  But the golden girdle can only be recovered through honest means, so becoming invisible and snatching it simply won’t work. Plus, Hale’s job is to protect mortals... moreAphrodite’s Girdle is missing, and the magical artifact will take all of Hale’s superpowers to retrieve. The woman who found the belt—one Tracy Tannin—wasn’t exactly Ms. Popular before donning it. Now everyone wants her, including some very nasty bad guys.  But the golden girdle can only be recovered through honest means, so becoming invisible and snatching it simply won’t work. Plus, Hale’s job is to protect mortals. No, there’s little chance of evading interaction and every chance of falling in love. Every hero has a different quest, and the more time Hale spends protecting her, the clearer it becomes that Tracy’s a goddess worth devotion, no matter what she’s wearing. less

She didn’t know he was secretly fighting crime. But that’s all over. He’s going to reel her back in with the truth... moreJason Murphy can talk to creatures of the sea.
