Darryl is on a quest for peace. His chance at fatherhood was taken from him long ago, and an IED in Iraq ensured he’d never get another. In Big Falls, the McIntyre brothers hire him to keep an eye on their beautiful cousin Sophie in case her criminal ex shows up. He doesn’t expect to fall head over heels.

Kiley Kellogg and her twin sister Kendra were raised by a con-man who’s sitting in prison. When Kendra dies in a tragic fire, all Kiley wants is to reclaim her home and start a new life. An honest life. The sprawling ranch where she grew up in Big Falls, Oklahoma, is on the auction block. She only knows one way to raise the funds to buy it. But she’s determined it will be her final con.

It's getting harder to keep magic hidden from the mundane population of Los Angeles. Good thing Lucy Heron and the Silver Griffins are working overtime to keep it a secret. Will it be enough? More magicals are flexing their powers. Nuada Industries' magical owner is trying to take out the competitors so he can grow his business. But something's off about Finn Nuada. There's something hinky about what he's doing. Meanwhile, the younger Herons have their own battle.

Lucy Heron knew Los Angles was a little weird, but dangerous magic is upping the ante and making art 3D. At first, it was just one incident, but trouble never stops there. Graffiti is peeling itself off the walls and starting fights on the streets of LA. Paintings are coming to life and stepping out of their frames. Tucked at the bottom of the art is the only clue—the tag, VX.

“Heartfelt, heartwarming, joyful, and uplifting. You can't go wrong with a Rachel Linden book.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber After a day of unrivaled disappointments, a promising young chef finds every bite of food suddenly tastes bitter. To save her career, she...

Magical medieval artifacts are on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. They are the perfect target for magical thieves. Look out Lucy Heron. It's not the usual menace looking to steal a strange magical crown. Good thing Lucy and the Silver Griffins are on the case. Meanwhile, the Underfoot Brigade are on a case of their own. Monsters are in the underground tunnels. Time to find out why.

Everything is on the line as Diana Sheen's team rebounds from the sneak attack on their base with aggressive moves in all directions. Nylotte's evil ex-boyfriend on Oriceran? He'll discover that taking the wrong person captive is a recipe for disaster. The artifact cult? Readying their biggest trap of all for Diana and her team, one that could prove fatal. General Ehrlich, and his secret super-soldier operation? Forced on the run, he's fully equipped to make a last stand and kill anyone who tries to take him.

Our magic’s gone wonky—and I’ve got a giant Venus fly trap and an extra-dead great-aunt to prove it. With everything going haywire, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out Durus and the Venom Stone are behind it.

Claire has it all: a handsome chef husband, a happy life on the coast, and a beautiful baby boy. But her picture-perfect life isn’t what it seems. Days after the christening, her husband and baby are murdered. Then she confesses to the gruesome crime. But why? And did she really do it? The evidence against her is damning. The police are convinced they have their killer. But her best friend, Morgan, doesn’t think she did it. But how well does she really know Claire? Soon she's putting her life at risk to find out

It has to be a trap. Rogue Agent Diana Sheen has no option but to walk right into it. The Rhazdon cult has been biding its time, but their leader's life is on the line. Time to remove the thorn in their side. Everything has consequences. Avoiding the fight means more innocents die. Not an option on the Rogue Agents' watch. Diana, Cara, Rath the troll, and the RAM team will fight on to end the battles once and for all. Their trusted allies, Ruby Achera and Cali Leblanc, can come to their aid. Even Kevin and Natasha might be game to help.

Things I want to do: Get my family's theme park ready for the holidays, enjoy my daughter’s improved cooking, and chill with my favorite ghost on the astral plane. Things I have to do instead: Spend my time trying to stay one step ahead of a vengeful pirate. And that means tracking down three hundred-year-old clues before he does. But that’s not all I have to deal with. I’ve got family drama to work through. And the arrival of a mysterious man who wants a job as the Pied Piper of the Enchanted Forest might end up costing me one of my best friends.

Diana Sheen is in the crosshairs of the military, the Rhazdon cult, and a mysterious foe on Oriceran. She's the problem everyone wants gone. Too bad. Diana, Cara, Rath the troll, and the rest of the Rogue Agents of Magic are here to cause trouble for those who use magic for evil. Time to make some enemies miserable. But not all is well for Diana and her team. Sloan is still missing in action, last seen entering the Pittsburgh. Amadeo the assassin has called on Rath for help with a mission. Can RAM deliver a counterpunch that will set their opponents up for a knockout blow?

It’s Halloween at the Enchanted Forest. Unfortunately, this year, it looks like it’s all trick and no treat. Thanks to my screwup, an evil pirate walks again. That’s bad enough. Then my ex-husband drops his mother off on my doorstep. And she’s not the only uninvited guest I’m stuck with. A melodramatic mermaid arrives at the park, insisting that someone is out to kill her and that our house is the only place she feels safe. The only way for us to get rid of her is for me to locate a magic key that doesn’t exist until you find it. Talk about a needle in a haystack.

A new side has declared itself in the battle for control of the Rhazdon artifacts spreading evil through the country. It's up to Diana, Rath, and Cara to keep the artifacts out of their twitchy hands.

Since moving back to my family’s theme park in Gallows Bay, my life has been a teensy bit weird. But that’s okay because I’m finally settling in. I’ve reconnected with my family. Impressed my childhood crush with what he thinks are mad plumbing skills. And even gone on something kinda like a date. But then my daughter shows up unexpectedly. Am I happy that she’s married? Yes! The problem is, she’s married to the absolute worst person for her, and now she’s on the verge of ruining her life. That’s when the fairies show up.

After the capture and daring rescue of her teammate—bullets flying—Diana Sheen is focusing on a new mission. Push back the cult emerging around Rhazdon artifacts. The legacy of the half-Atlantean's magic is a dark and ancient magic that must be collected and hidden away forever—from everyone. Kevin Serrano has the same idea with a twist. He wants to shepherd the powerful artifacts while gunning for Diana and her team. Talk about twisted. Even the Army wants the artifacts to create magical super-soldiers. Leira Berens beat that idea back before. Can Diana and her crew do the same?

Diana Sheen's worst fear has come to pass. The government agency chasing her has taken one of her people prisoner. Now all her team's secrets are at risk, and all their lives are on the line. Will the captive give up the location of their new base? The outcast team's plans to take on the hidden darkness within the government? Or their new mission against the Rhazdon-artifact cult? One thing is certain. Diana can't let a friend remain in enemy hands for long, or it's all over. Including the creation of the magical network that is Rath the troll's current obsession.

The loss of their base and most of their equipment was a staggering blow. But Diana Sheen dealt with it with a troll by her side. No more running. Time to turn around and fire back. Individuals corrupted by Rhazdon Artifacts was one thing. Finding out that a cult has risen around the powerful magic items is another. Dark times for the former Federal Agents of Magic, officially declared Rogue. There's only one way to deal with dark times. Light them up with magical fire. Diana's team is on the case.

I had my whole life planned out—until, that is, my husband of 28 years dropped a bombshell on me. At a mall food court, no less. Now that I’m going through a decidedly unplanned divorce, the one place I want to be is my family’s theme park in Gallows Bay. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not the happiest place on Earth (TM). But it does have something special that sets it apart: magic. Real. Magic.
