Book Description
The war of 1812 is over, but for the inmates at Dartmoor Prison, peace—like home—is still a long way away.On New Year’s Eve 1814, the American sailors of the Eagle finally arrive at Dartmoor prison, bedraggled, exhausted, but burning with hope. They’ve only had one thing to sustain them during the har- rowing voyage—a snatched whisper overheard along the way. The war is finally over.Joe Hill thought he’d left the war outside these walls but it’s quickly clear that there’s a different type of fight to be had within. The seven prison blocks surrounding him have been segregated; six white and one black.Inspired by true events, this novel recounts the remarkable story of the first ever all-black Shakespeare production, staged by segregated American prisoners of war. It is a story of hope and freedom, of loss and suffering. It is a story about how sometimes, in our darkest hour, it can be the most unlikely of things that see us through.

Book Description
It's summer in Knoxville, and if the outlaw crew at Dartmoor Inc. thought they were getting a respite from the drama...they were kidding themselves. Almost a year ago, Mercy's dying mother claimed he had a half-brother, sired by the beloved father he'd always thought infallible, raised by another man as his own. He's been in denial ever since, but when Colin O'Donnell arrives, it's time to face facts. Turns out his family isn't lost - he only wishes this member of it was. Holly McCall is determined to prove her worth to the other old ladies - Maggie, specifically. She never dreamed of a life like this, and as she searches for self-worth and acceptance, she is wrapped step-by-step in the gentlest love of the fiercest man. For Aidan and Tango, this summer is a season for realizations. For waking to a vision of the future. And for drowning in the past. In this Dartmoor Series novella, readers will spend time with the entire club, meet new voices, and fall deeper into the world of the Lean Dogs MC. Not a stand-alone romance, Half My Blood balances several central storylines with delicacy and passion. Brimming with emotion, spotlighting secondary characters, Dartmoor fans won't want to miss this bridge between novels two and three in the series.

Mary Cranson had done the walk many times before, but now had simply vanished from Dartmoor near the prominent landmark called Haytor. Her boyfriend raises the alarm when she doesn’t meet him as arranged in the local pub. For the investigating officer, Detective Inspector Richard King, the intriguing aspect is that many of her friends knew she would be on the moor as she had told them of her intentions the previous evening. King and his small team of detectives begin the arduous task of interviewing the people who would have known her whereabouts that fateful afternoon. Could she have been consumed by one of the notorious bogs on the moor or is the reason for her disappearance something more sinister? The detectives are also dealing with thefts of vehicles and machinery, mainly from farms across Dartmoor. These have continued undetected for over six months and questions are being asked in the local media about the lack of progress in catching the thieves. The profile of these cases increases significantly when a theft goes disastrously wrong. King is also made aware of a barn fire close to Haytor, but is this connected to the other cases? Pressure is mounting on the wily detective from the chief constable who wants progress on both the thefts and the missing woman.

Book II in the Dartmoor Series. Holly Jessup came to Knoxville in search of the Lean Dogs MC, hoping to find a killer among them. She's spent four months cozying up to Sgt. at Arms Michael, and it's time to make her move. Michael McCall isn't in the habit of accepting contract hits, but Holly isn't the kind of girl who chases after Dogs. She's petrified, and infatuated, and she might be the first woman to see him for the man he is, rather than the outlaw he seems. Maybe, for Holly, he can become St. Michael at last. After the events of FEARLESS, the Lean Dogs can't afford any more scandals. Michael never expected he'd be the one to bend the rules. And no one thought his feelings for one woman could shake the balance of the Tennessee underworld. Be sure to look for Book I in the Dartmoor Series, FEARLESS, and be on the lookout for Book III, coming Summer 2015.

Black dogs. Demons. Hellhounds. Damned souls that haunt crossroads, taking the forms of hulking dogs with glowing red eyes. Legends of the Old World, but just stories meant to scare lonely wanderers. Mostly. Knoxville, Tennessee boasts black dogs of its own: the mother chapter of the Lean Dogs Motorcycle Club. And like all legends, the Lean Dogs draw challengers from every corner of the underworld. War's brewing in Tennessee, and the Dogs' first family is about to face its biggest challenge yet: the past. Ghost Teague has spent the last twenty-five years transforming a once-rough club into an empire with his queen by his side, the fearless girl who turned his life around when he needed her most. This new threat is a personal one, aimed at him, at Maggie, and it's calling into question all the decisions they've made thus far. With a rival club in town, and an old nemesis preying on their doubts, they'll have to save the city, the club, and their family. And there's only one way to do it: together. With past and present storylines, the sixth installment of the Dartmoor Series explores the king and queen like never before, an epic tale of rising, and ruling, and leaning on one another.
