In this sequel to Tumbleweed Fever, the story of Devlin Brown, an ex-outlaw, and Sarah Tolliver, the woman of her heart, continues.

Amidst the beautiful and sometimes unforgiving land of the Oklahoma Territory, Sarah and Devlin begin a new life. Adventure and mysticism abound as they revisit the Choctaw camp.

Sarah must decide whether she will undergo the clan rituals that will allow her to join with the former outlaw in a ceremony that will bind their hearts together forever. Each woman must undergo an incredible test of her individual skills and all the while race against time to prevent a premonition from becoming a frightening reality.

Rebecca's Cove by LJ Maas ISBN: 978-1-935216-12-4 Price: $16.95 Release Date: February 2010

Chicago native BJ Warren travels to the Florida island of Ana Lia to care for her grandmother’s house after she has an accident and breaks her hip. Nothing and no one on the island is anywhere near what BJ would call normal. The island inhabitants exist in a world that cares little for what folks do on the mainland. The center of activity for their society revolves around a diner called Rebecca’s Cove where the self-centered BJ alienates just about every member of the small community. But she meets her match in a local woman—Hobie Lynn Allen.

This is not a “love at first sight” story as both women find the other completely annoying and self-righteous. However, the island—and Rebecca’s Cove—have an odd way of changing the way folks view their world and the people around them. Sometimes it’s not a matter of what you’re seeing but rather the position from which you see it.

Tessa (Nikki) Nikolaidis is cold and ruthless, the perfect person to be Karê, the right hand, to Greek magnate Andreas Meridio.

As the two reach the point of no return, Casey begins to wonder if she can really trust the beautiful Karê. Does Nikki’s dark past hide secrets that will eventually bring down the brutal Meridio Empire, or are her actions simply those of a vindictive woman?
