paranormal romance

Ophelia’s first love might be her last. In her wildest dreams, Ophelia Montague never imagined she would leave the city, her friends, her school and move to a seaside village.

But when her parents die in an accident, that’s just where she finds herself – ensconced in a rambling house on the beach, with her uncle, Sebastian, his boarder—19-year-old Adam Ferrier, and two Great Dane dogs named after shipwrecks.

By the ocean’s edge she meets Jack Denham who seems to command the sea and the moon—and if he has his way—Ophelia, too.

Since accepting the cursed glasses bequeathed by her Great Aunt Daphne giving her the gift of clairvoyance, Sophie Carrell made the decision to give up her acting career and embrace the opportunities that came her way – helping the police, guiding her clients, and being in demand as the best and hottest clairvoyant in town. But in the love stakes, Sophie’s past has come back to haunt her. A generational love story – a love triangle – between Sophie, Murdoch the Raven, and Nikolas the shapeshifter, has emerged in the current generation and there is more at stake than just hearts being broken. For the first time in history, the descendant of a powerful witch and the cursed glass recipient are one in the same – Sophie – and her enemy, the Raven can’t be with her, or without. But the Raven is not her only enemy, and not her only love when fate comes to call.

Miss Phoebe Astin of The Economic Undertaker has applied her mortician skills to many faces, but a beautiful young debutante, Miss Daisy Dorchester, needed little work, or so Phoebe thought. When the debutante’s spirit appears to her, insisting she was murdered and demanding Phoebe do something about it, Phoebe agrees. She has, after all, helped many of her ghostly clients before they move on to the next world.
It soon comes to light that Daisy's death is connected to the priest from St Patrick's Parish and a young gentleman suitor with an engagement ring in his pocket; Daisy had boasted to the debutantes of a secret love.
Phoebe finds time is running out as the debutante will soon be laid to rest, but her brothers Julius and Ambrose, Detective Harland Stone, journalist friend Miss Lilly Lewis, and her dear friend Kate who took a portrait of the debutante the day before her death, are on the case.
Unfortunately, Daisy appears to have more enemies than friends and is fast making Phoebe one with her demands, requiring Julius to step in and reveal a side of himself he had to date kept hidden.
But justice must be served, and for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting crime go unpunished!

For the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting crime go unpunished.

But finding love and finding the one was a whole different matter. Unbeknown to Holly her new abode in Findlater Lane came with a housemate – Sergeant Alexander Austen – a handsome ghost who thinks he knows best.

And so, Holly and the Sergeant were both calling Findlater House home. For now.

Phoebe passes the information on to her beau, Detective Harland Stone, and when two of Teddy's love interests are found dead, the detective gets a whiff of a crime afoot. Aided by her brothers, Julius and Ambrose, and her dear friends, the Vexed Vixens, Phoebe is doing her best to grant the dearly departed justice. After all, for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting crime go unpunished (even if he was romancing three ladies, the cad!)

Not even the son of the Raven can avoid his destiny.

A generation has passed, and the son of the Raven, Murdoch Ashcroft, and the strongest witch of her time Sophie Carrel, has come of age. Raised amongst the cursed, their protectors, witches and shapeshifters, Dane Ashcroft is a mystery; the true nature of his lineage uncertain. Will he be accursed and inherit the clairvoyant glasses like his powerful witch mother, Sophie Carrell? Will he be the next Raven to take over from his father, Murdoch Ashcroft? Or a powerful witch in his own right.

While peace prevails, curiosity follows him. But a shapeshifter is tired of the status quo. Tired of the descendants being robbed of their destiny, and is bringing reinforcements from the past to challenge the fragile peace. If he has his way, the Raven’s son will need to show his hand to survive.

The time has come to discover the Raven’s son’s destiny.

The son of the Raven grapples with a relentless adversary set on dismantling everything meaningful in his life.

Dane Ashcroft, challenged by his father's long-time shapeshifter enemy, is gifted a ghost protector from his powerful witch mother. Fortunately, the ghost protector is not only a former detective from the days of Jack the Ripper but also the most successful shapeshifter hunter of his time.

With his new protector, Dane finds himself looking over his shoulder for his enemy while trying to solve a case with his detective partner that might just involve an unbalanced killer brought back from the past. And in the middle of his drama is a generational love triangle with the enchanting Lark, whose affection he is determined to win.

With the future of his parents—Murdoch, the legendary Raven, and Sophie, the fated witch—hanging in the balance, Dane's decision to reveal his own formidable abilities may change the course of history itself. Will he rise as the hero his lineage expects, or will he have no choice in his destiny?
