Chance Encounter, The Chances Trilogy Book Two 

The last thing Delaney Richards was looking for at college roommate Lindsay Foster's wedding was love. The long hours at the office were finally paying off; she could all but feel the vice-presidency in her bones. And she's counting on this week in San Francisco to seal the deal. But first she has to get through the wedding—Delaney’s first since her own. Almost wedding, that is. You can’t have a wedding without a groom. 

 

Mike Savoy hadn’t expected to see Delaney Richards again at his best friend’s wedding in Lake Tahoe, let alone find himself falling in love with her. Now he has to convince her that the feeling is mutual—and unfailing. But the past can be a killer. And when blackmail turns to ransom, Mike is the only one who can save her. To survive, Delaney must trust the heart that once betrayed her.

Blurb for my first novel, A Tale of Two Kingdoms: Sorean and Ikharyn:

The kingdoms of Sorean and Ikharyn have always been at war with each other, for as long as anyone could remember. Ava, a 20-years-old orphaned shieldmaiden, knows no other life beyond her training as part of the Valkyries, a subdivision of the Ikharyn Elite Guard, made up entirely of women. All that is about to change when her kingdom is attacked by the Sorean King in an attempt to stop a prophecy from being fulfilled. Ava then goes on a mission to avenge her fallen sisters. With the help of her newfound gypsy friends, she manages to infiltrate the Sorean castle only to find herself captured and tortured in the hands of a Sorean Prince. Magical bondage, riding crop, and blindfold aside, she cannot fathom the person behind the Prince's cold dragon mask. But Ava eventually discovers that everything is not as it seems in this endearing coming-of-age story about magic, war, friendship, and of course, love. Dubbed a Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, A Tale of Two Kingdoms is a story about how love can overcome prejudice and ultimately, conquers all. 

Blurb for my second novel, Claiming You in Eden (The Brotherhood #1):

Cathryn was a bookish 19-years-old girl who had just begun to embark on her university life, when she, along with a couple of friends, was abducted during a sorority party by a group of armed men who worked for the Brotherhood, an international crime syndicate, involved in human trafficking, drug dealing, and other criminal activities. She was taken under the wings of Alec, one of the henchmen, for almost a year. Throughout which time, they tested each other's sexual boundaries, and he came to develop an obsession for her. 

But is this kind of love real, and can this kind of love last a lifetime? 

Stockholm syndrome, Lima syndrome, Gamma hero, BDSM, you name them, this book has them all. 

Set against the lush backdrop of the Tenderloin in San Francisco, all the way across the Pacific Ocean, to Osaka, Japan, Claiming You in Eden will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Ultimately, this novel tells the triumphant story of one sexual assault survivor, as she navigated the world after her ordeal, with the help of those around her; in other words, not your usual abduction romance story.

Blurb for my third novel, Bound to You in Japan (The Brotherhood #2):

In the second installment of the Brotherhood series, 19-years-old university student "Cathy" Cathryn Johnson was bought by a new Shujin, her new Yakuza Master, and had to serve him in this foreign land. He was kind, but severe when it comes to disciplining her. The contrast between him and Alec was like night and day. The latter had only given her a taste of what dominance and submission could be, but her new Master was about to teach her all there was to know about the pleasures of the flesh.

Could she escape from him, 

from this country, 

and return to her old life back in the US?

***

29-years-old “Alec” Alexandre Kitamura Sousa was once a ruthless, calculating, and efficient CIA field agent until his assignment brought his world colliding with Cathy’s. Now he is completely and utterly obsessed with the sweet girl. She has messed with his logical mind. When the Hostage Rescue Team failed in their rescue op, and Cathy was whisked away to Japan, Alec abandoned all reasons and went rogue, taking on a new assignment of his own in Osaka, Japan, in order to find her.

But what awaited him in Japan was nothing like he could ever imagine. The Brotherhood’s web of conspiracy ran deeper than any previous intel provided by the CIA assets within or without the country.

Alec was once again torn between the desire to keep Cathy by his side, or serving his country.

Could he ever give her up, 

knowing that the fate of the world is at stake? 

The plot thickens in this sequel to the first novel in the Brotherhood Series, Claiming You in Eden.
