LOVE AND CHAOS SERIES Book 1

Zane Sanders, lead singer of Just Short of Chaos, surprised everyone, including himself, when he plucked a fan out of the audience at one of his concerts.
I don’t know what possessed me to do it. I’d never done anything like that before. But something about Grace drew me to her. And within minutes of pulling her on stage, I knew I’d made one of the best decisions of my life. Since our drummer Devin’s overdose, I’d felt dead inside. Perhaps for even longer than that. But Grace was fun, sexy—and as I would discover later—good and selfless. And an irresistible magic surrounded us that made me feel alive again.
That is, until I blew it. In classic Zane style. Funny thing is, when I first got Grace up on stage, I had no idea what to do with her. Now I have no idea what I’ll do without her.
Grace Devlin was living out every girl’s fantasy.
Only thing is, fantasies ended, and I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want this one to stop. Zane had a magnetism about him that was more than mere charisma. That was evident the moment I—the girl who normally had to be dragged out onto the dance floor—practically became a pole dancer in his arms. Then it happened. The moment everyone kept referring to as “The Kiss.” But it was all part of the show, right? It didn’t matter that Zane made more than my feet move. He stirred up feelings that scared the crap out of me. The depth of his sadness called out to me even more than his unbelievable sex appeal, and that was saying something.
But it could never work between us. He may have come from a small town like me, but he was all rock star now and totally out of my league. I was a flower shop owner, not his saving Grace.
Are some actions beyond forgiveness or will he be rocked by Grace?
Excerpt from ROCKED BY GRACE
Zane
There was a difference between having a life and living a life, and I really wanted to discover what that difference was. I had a life. Most would say it was a good life. But for me it seemed like all I was doing was chasing the second hand on a clock. I would move forward through the day, but at the close I had nothing to show for it other than the passage of time. At the ripe old age of twenty-six, I was tired beyond belief and walking through my days and nights like a zombie.
But the people who had been filling the stadium for the last hour and a half were not here to see the walking dead. They were doctors, lawyers, garbage men, seamstresses…. They came from small towns and cities, ghettos like those I grew up in, and plush estates like the ones I lived in now. I had come to know the people behind those gilded doors had their own kinds of problems. But all of these people occupying seats in the heart of this building or swaying drunkenly on the floor, they worked, sweated, and stressed to earn the money to buy the tickets to this concert and listen to my music. I wouldn’t let them down.
After all, I was one of them once. I even sold my ten-speed to purchase tickets to see my idol, Colton Remkus, who was one of our openers tonight. Because of that, I vowed to sing the hits I’d sung a biljallion times before like I recently released them and they were still fresh. As Colt did for me. Though I didn’t feel like I had the heart for it, I would bring the vitality of the damned Energizer Bunny if it killed me.
Jericho and Rafe were standing, holding shots, when I stepped around a curtain and over electrical cords weaving across each other like the snakes in the pit in that Indiana Jones movie.
Dex had one butt cheek resting on top of an upturned crate, but he hopped to his feet when he saw me and snatched two more shots from the end of another storage case to his left, handing one to me. Without fanfare we raised the glasses for an instant, then threw them back. Whiskey.
Must have been Rafe’s turn to pick. Stuff tasted like lighter fluid. Not that I’d drank lighter fluid before. At least not from what I could remember. I could never be sure. Not remembering what I did the night before scared the shit out of me at first, but now it was a matter of course.
I flipped the emptied shot glass upside down, setting it on the crate Dex abandoned with a sharp ring. The noise accompanied an exclamation that was part exhale, part gasp, as my breath was stolen away by the burn of the alcohol, which seemed to blast a fire into my mouth, along my throat, and throughout my nasal passages.
“Holy shit!” Dex let out.
I decided the newest member of our band needed to attend what we affectionately termed, “Drinking Camp.” Although we swore off drugs since our former drummer, Devin’s overdose, we didn’t consider alcohol a drug and abused it more heavily than ever before. If Dex was gonna make it with Just Short of Chaos, he needed to be more than a casual player in our game.
I willed to life the shit-eating grin I was famous for, super-gluing it on. I shrugged into my jacket, then yanked on the lapels so the fabric fell right. Tugging each cuff down in turn, I looked at my three cohorts. “Let’s do this.” We lined up for our entrance, listening to the countdown music Rafe put together. Ten, nine, eight…. It raised the buzz of excitement to a feverish pitch.
The curtain hiding us from view of most of the audience was in front of the monitors flashing each number from ten to one. Each was followed by either an album cover, or an action shot or close-up of a band member. The cheers were loudest for me and Jericho. As our quirky front man and the face of the band, I had a huge following, especially on social media. Jericho was Mr. Sex Appeal, and he knew it. Played it to his advantage. Wore it comfortably, like a favorite sweatshirt. I swung from enjoying the limelight to wanting to disappear for a while, depending on the day of the week. But I kept my reticence hidden. I couldn’t sell the band if I was invisible.
And when I was on, I could work a room, or an interview, like nobody’s business, and even enjoy it, to a degree. Only it took a lot of energy and focus to pull it off.
The number four flashed across the screen.
Rafe drummed on my shoulders. “You ready, buddy?” He had to shout to be heard above the thunder bellowing on the other side of the curtain.
I nodded.
Three. A shot of Jericho playing behind his head.
Two. The cover from the album that launched us into the spotlight.
One. Me, doing my signature gymnastics pass across the stage. It was a great black and white shot of me doing a back tuck, with the light shining from behind me. The concertgoers lost it. Just Short of Chaos’s logo flashed, and Rafe ran out to take his place on the stage, locating his bass and swinging the strap over his neck. Dex followed him, climbing the ramp to his drum stand. Jericho and I brought up the rear, waving our arms and smiling at the audience.

ABANDON ALL HOPE
- Rocking Romance series Book 2
It was one of those mornings for newspaper-writer/photographer Hope Creswell.
The alarm clock didn’t go off and she cut her finger on broken glass. Not one to let such things get her down, Hope headed into her assignment meeting with excitement, only to leave it stunned. Her new assignment is to trail the sensational rock-star, Chase Hatton, for an article. Chase Hatton! No one knows the power that name holds for her. No one knows of the childhood friendship that blossomed into romance, only to abruptly die on the night of Hope’s senior prom. No one knows of the ache that still fills her heart.
What starts out for Chase Hatton as an average publicity trip to Chicago suddenly becomes complicated.
His manager tells him Hope Creswell will be interviewing him in the morning.
He spent eight years trying to forget Hope, and now she would be in his penthouse in a matter of hours?
When Chase opens the door to his penthouse and finds Hope on the opposite side, his heart begins beating a rhythm the rocker has yet to capture in any of his music.
The smoldering embers of their former romance are fanned by their mere proximity. Will they both be burned again? Can Hope ever trust her heart to Chase after what he did? Can Chase bear to see her walk out on him a second time? And what about Hope’s boyfriend, Phillip? Where does he fit into the picture that Hope is developing?

TAKEN BY STORM
- ROMANTIC REALMS COLLECTION
When he returns from a trip, Prince Tahj senses unrest…
…. even before his best friend and captain, Radeem, warns him. Radeem heard rumors and suspects the King’s advisor is planning to overthrow the crown. The darkly bitter Grand Vizier, Lord Boltar, is about to claim what he believes belongs to him, the rule of Avistad.
Stolen from her home, Bashea is left bound and gagged on the prince’s bedroom floor.
Just as Tahj discovers a captive girl in his bedroom, left as a “gift” from Lord Boltar, fighting erupts. Tahj, Radeem, and Bashea escape the castle in a hail of arrows. The pair is drawn closer together as they face various perils, Boltar’s soldiers, a screaming panther, even the scathing winds of a desert storm.
Born from the fire of a coup, Tahj and Bashea’s relationship burns with a passion that neither of them quite understands.
After what she went through at the hands of Boltar’s men, Bashea is afraid to trust. Yet it is her fiery nature that both appeals to Tahj, and drives him crazy. In fact, when Bashea’s brother, Bagrat, informs Tahj that Bashea means “lips of the gods,” he retorts, “Are you sure you don’t mean tongue of the devil?” It takes a long separation to bring them back to each other, but when Tahj does return, it is once again during a battle with Lord Boltar. But now the overlord, who has been forced beyond reason by Tahj’s success in retaking the throne, is an even more dangerous threat than before. Reunited, will Tahj and Bashea be strong enough to defeat their twisted and powerful enemy?

AN UNCOMMON LOVE
- ROMANTIC REALMS COLLECTION Book 2
Princess Adriana had her life all figured out…
Or, to be more precise, she had her life all figured out for her. Before she was even born she was betrothed to Garin, and that was perfectly acceptable as he became her childhood friend, and then, eventually, the person she would swap kisses with inside the palace gardens. She never questioned it, never had a reason to, until the day a commoner was brought before her father, the King, to be punished.
…until the day her eyes conncected with blacksmith Seth Hobb’s across a stone courtyard.
When he creeps into the castle at night to thank her for freeing him, they begin to build a relationship with one another that is often as explosive as it is endearing. But fate ends up separating the two and they must undertake a long and arduous journey to be reunited.
But with everything against them, can an uncommon love like theirs survive?
Even then, can Adriana make Seth see her for herself and not as the princess he imagines? And if she does, will she ever be able to convince her father that, despite his objections over Seth being a commoner, there is nothing “common” about him at all?
