BLURB:
Run, little witch…
AMELIE LAURENT is on her way to the top of the jewelry
designing world with no time for men. Her orderly life is about to come undone
when playboy and jewelry tycoon ROMAN CARDIFF steals her away on assignment to
a remote English estate. Roman wants Amelie all to himself but St. Clair
Manor’s resident ghost has been waiting for her much longer than he has.
Run home…
An unseen gunman takes a shot at Roman and he blames a
business rival. But Amelie and Roman are to blame, for falling in love 200
years before in a time neither of them remember.
From the heartbreak of pre-Revolutionary France to modern
day corporate wars, Amelie and Roman uncover a history of blood jewels, lust
and demons.
Good witch, bad witch, you must decide…
When Amelie discovers her inner witch she learns the real
reason she was summoned to St. Clair Manor. Il Dragone will kill to get her
back. Amelie will kill if they do.
EXCERPT
Amelie faced Mr. Cardiff. Folding
her arms, she acknowledged what had passed between them and accepted his dare.
“It would be my pleasure.”
Harold gave her an odd look and
guided her to the divan as if she needed some guidance, which only served to
irk her more. “You will be in good hands with Amelie. Did you know that she was
lead designer behind Bijou’s Artisan Collection?”
“I had no idea.” There was a
slight edge to Mr. Cardiff’s tone, but it was nothing compared to the arrogance
that frosted his eyes. “And how is our old friend Garamonde?”
Was it possible to hate someone
at first sight?
“Still old, I suppose.”
Harold coughed, and she refused
to look at him. She would stare Mr. Cardiff down until closing time, if need
be.
As quickly as his eyes had
frosted, they warmed up again with amusement.
She could not quell the sinking
feeling she had lost control of the situation. She suspected it had never been
in her possession in the first place. But now that the fateful words of
acceptance were out of her mouth, the wind went out of her sails.
Mr. Cardiff smiled as smoothly as
he had just engineered this desired outcome. He sat down on the other end of
the sofa and stretched long, muscular legs out. They nearly reached the desk
Harold leaned against. A swimmer’s physique, she thought and then shut that
errant thought down as quickly as it had surfaced. “Excellent,” he said. “When
will you be ready to leave for St. Clair Manor?”
“Mr. Cardiff, this is highly
irregular. I cannot be contracted out…” She looked at Harold.
He shrugged.
She schooled her voice back to a
modicum of professionalism.
“Mr. Cardiff, we have everything
we need here at Penrod’s to do the job. I can forward the sketches to you in
just a few weeks’ time.”
Harold cleared his throat and
belatedly, she realized what he was going to say.
“Actually, Amelie, we are also
contracted for a refurbishment project.”
Merde, it would take months.
She had gone from the verge of
resigning her position to yet another commitment, to him, no less.

I should have
known I would end up here...
My sisters and
I walked ten blocks to the library every Saturday morning and picked up books
to read for the week.
When I was
older, I spent a couple of hundred dollars at Barnes & Noble and my mother
thought I was crazy. I couldn't deny it - I just had to read (but I became sort
of a closet-book-buyer after that). I started writing poems first.
Song writing was next, when I realized I
had a singing voice, then singing with local bands. It wasn't long before I
just knew I was going to be the next singing sensation.
And now, here
I am, a shower-singer (the enclosed tile room is almost as good as a studio
mike) and happier than I’ve ever been, writing paranormal romance with a
healthy portion of mystery, murder and reincarnation. It's romance through the
ages.
