OPAL FIRE
Reporter Stacy Justice did not expect to be set on fire that night, but being raised by witches prepares one for life's little surprises. In fact, she isn't the least bit shocked when her cousin is accused of arson, or when her divorced grandparents sign up for a marriage retreat, or even when her own boyfriend hauls her off to jail.But when a decades-old corpse is discovered within the walls of her cousin's bar, even Stacy is rattled. Now, someone wants her dead and she finds herself dodging angry motorists, exploding chickens and a very creepy man who lurks around every corner. As she begins to unearth long-buried secrets, Stacy learns that even those closest to her have something to hide- and she’s about to discover a destiny she never imagined.GODDESS OF SINS
Hell hath no Fury. Because they're all in Las Vegas.
The three Furies of the Underworld have taken it upon themselves to clean up Las Vegas one sinner at a time. But it proves too much for one Fury who crosses a dangerous line that sets Olympus on the path to another Trojan War. And neither the gods, nor the mortals can stop it. In fact, the only chance Olympus has to avoid total annihilation lies with the biggest party girls who never set foot on Earth, the Graces.
SHADES OF AMETHYST
Stacy Justice was never comfortable being raised by witches. But she can't escape her roots when her grandfather suffers a mysterious illness. Her grandmother smells foul play and urges Stacy to use her powers to get to the bottom of it. There are only two things wrong with that. Stacy doesn't believe in her "gift", and she fears her grandmother is behind the whole big mess.
