His efforts to scare her away don't work, not even when he lefts it slip that he has a psychic twin sister who helps their uncle-a police detective-solve murders. As the former member of a gang, Esmer's confident she's tough enough to take anything he throws at her in stride.Then she has a near death experience. And Charlie is the first person on the scene.

But hey, it's better than the gang. Even after being pulled into a string of grisly murder investigations, running with people possessing supernatural abilities, and dealing with the very real presence of a minor goddess, Esmer's pretty sure hanging with Charlie is better than being back with the gang. Yep, pretty damn sure.

It's been three years since Brian Royland was dared to take Iris Newman to the prom. They've managed to keep a strong long-distance relationship even while balancing college classes and jobs.Around the same time of Brian's impromptu marriage proposal, William Lexington comes back into Iris' life with an opportunity to go on tour with a well-known rock band. There's only one condition; he has to be reinstated as Angst's bass guitarist. Iris can't deny that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if she does have her reservations. So, with Brian's blessing, she puts their engagement on hold to fulfill her dream.While the band's on the road, discovering things about each other that they never wanted to know, the drama in Brian's life escalates. Not only is he dealing with a competitive coworker, a biased boss, and a roommate who just can't seem to take no for an answer, but then his long-lost mother decides she wants to fight for custody of Leah after all.

As the heir to a thriving smithy and a substantial estate, Phillip wants for nothing...except perhaps bravery and self-confidence. But when he meets Irma, the headstrong daughter of a poor farm worker, he is smitten. Her father, thankfully, can see Phillip's goodness and is quick to give his blessing. Marriage does not guarantee affection, however. Phillip's quest to woo his very independent wife has only just begun. In the course of a single night, Holgarians take over the village of Kenshore. Irma falls into despair, assuming her elderly father is dead, and Phillip scrambles for a way to help. A rumor leads him into the forest, in search of a caravan of wounded persons fleeing Kenshore. Instead of finding his father-in-law, Phillip falls into a trap. While his life is spared-thanks to the Patron Saint of Creators and Innovators-he's still taken to the Holgarian prisoner camp. There, he learns that the heavenly being has a secret mission for him and that his father-in-law is still alive. Phillip's only hope of survival, of reuniting Irma with her father and perhaps finally earning her love, depends on the success of his divine mission...which will require more than a little bravery, unfortunately.
