| NAKED DRAGON“McKenna Greylock,” Bastian said. “I have in my shorts one resourceful, multi-talented, prehensile dragon lance. And, in its own magnificent way, it very nearly does breathe fire.” A WORKS LIKE MAGICK NOVELIn Salem, human magick has thinned the veil between the planes to a permeable mist, forming a portal into the city, allowing time travelers and chameleons of the universe to enter there. Bastian Dragonelli, once a Roman warrior turned dragon, is the first of his legion to be returned to earth, a man. So his brothers can also be saved and sent to earth, Bastian must reclaim the magick of Andra, Goddess of Hope, who sacrificed hers to transform him. He must seek his heart mate and make her quest his own. But the dark, powerful Killian, Sorceress of Chaos, who turned his legion into dragons and skewed his transition back into a man, is hot on his heels. 
McKenna Greylock, the last non-magickal descendant of Ciarra, a witch who survived Salem's hanging times, needs a jack-of-all-trades to help turn her dilapidated Victorian into a bed and breakfast so she doesn't lose her home and her family's centuries-old legacy. Enter McKenna's cousin, Vivica Quinlan, Ciarra's most magickal descendent, owner of the Works Like Magick Employment Agency. Vivica has a gift for matching human employers with magickal employees. Like Ciarra before her, Vivica knows when magickal supernatural ancients are about to arrive. She greets them and acclimates them to life, and to making a living, in Salem. Besides Killian's threatening presence, Bastian's life is also complicated by McKenna, his guardian dragon, a troublemaking fairy, and a case of culture shock. Bastian also has a problem with his man lance. It won't behave at all the way he remembered it should. Not at all... Order: Amazon Barnes & Noble Borders

Now, a Celtic ring depicting a man’s empty embrace becomes a psychic mandate that leads her to Paxton castle on an island off the Salem, Massachusetts coast. King Paxton has inherited a haunted money-pit of a castle he must sell before he’s cursed with more of the bad luck that plagued his family for generations, but out of nowhere, a leggy blonde walks in and quiets his disgruntled construction crew and wailing ghost. When King throws her out, chaos returns, so he brings her back. Harmony could be the answer to his problems . . . or a very big distraction. He’s never been as attracted to anyone, but he's made enough mistakes for one lifetime. He vows to be strong after he offers her a job at the castle. She can search for vintage clothes while he peacefully gets the castle restored and sold. King is Harmony’s psychic pot of gold. Because the ancient castle is his–he was born there–she can read him. She knows he feels the same dizzying attraction for her that she does for him. She knows exactly what he wants to do to and with her—a titillating knowledge—but he’s fighting his inclinations. Bummer. Despite Gussie the ghost-witch, triplet tricks, spells, rituals, and unexpected family ties, Harmony tries to uncover the castle's secrets while acting out King’s unspoken fantasies until they're acting them out together and fighting a powerful ghost . . . in and out of bed. In the final magical battle, will Harmony and King reclaim the castle, or is Gussie stronger even than the power of love?
