Combining history and fantasy, a sweeping multi-generational epic in the vein of Kindred and The Time Traveler's Wife about a woman who travels through time to end a family curse that has plagued her ancestors for generations.
On a rainy day in May 1964, history professor Cecily Bridge-Davis begins to search for the sixty-five acres of land she inherited from her father's family. The quest leads her to uncover a dark secret: In every generation, one offspring from each Bridge family unit vanishes--and is mysteriously whisked back in time. Rules have been established that must be followed to prevent dire consequences:
Never interfere with past events.
Always carry your free Negro papers.
Search for the survival family packs in the orchard and surrounding forest. The ribbon on the pack designates the decade the pack was made to orient you in time.
Do not speak to strangers unless absolutely necessary.
With only a family Bible and a map marked with the locations of mysterious containers to aid her, Cecily heads to the library, hoping to discover the truth of how this curse began, and how it might be ended. As she moves through time, she encounters a circle of ancestors, including Sabrina Humbles, a free Black woman who must find the courage to seize an opportunity--or lose her heart; Luke Bridge, who traverses battlefields, slavery, and time itself to reunite with his family; Rebecca Bridge, a mother tested by an ominous threat; and Amelia Bridge, a young woman burdened with survivor's guilt who will face the challenge of a lifetime--and change Cecily's life forever. It is a race through time and against the clock to find the answers that will free her family forever.
Shawntelle Madison's historical fiction debut is an enthralling, page-turning family saga about the inevitability of fate, the invincibility of love, and the indelible bonds of family.
Natalya Stravinsky isn't your typical Jersey werewolf.
A pariah from the South Toms River Pack for many years, Natalya spends her days hoarding holiday trinkets and selling antiques to persnickety paranormal creatures. But everything changes when her ex-boyfriend, and soon-to-be alpha wolf, Thorn Grantham returns to town. Nat still has feelings for him, but his family expects him to marry another woman.
Compounding her problems, an attractive, germaphobe wizard is falling for her, her therapy group for anxiety-ridden supernaturals is bringing up a host of issues for her to face, and Nat finds herself bumping heads with her oddball Russian werewolf family. But when Nat finds herself on the front lines in a blood feud against a rival wolf pack, will she be able to protect those she loves the most? Or will the Long Island werewolves destroy all she holds dear?
Something wicked is coming to South Toms River, New Jersey.
Selling haunted trinkets and witches' wands is just another normal day for the delightfully neurotic werewolf Natalya Stravinsky. From one day to another, as the new South Toms River Pack alpha female, she tries to keep finicky supernatural customers placated while managing her underhanded goblin boss and eccentric supernatural co-workers. Her life is complicated further when competition rolls in: a peculiar troll-owned mart with subpar haunted knick-knacks and deadly antiques appears.
A powerful fairy path veers off course, heading towards South Toms River, attracting the attention of a deadly, shadowed force. Mysterious steamer trunks from the 1920s pop up all over town, unleashing horrific beasts. Natalya must find the inner strength to bring her pack together to uncover the culprit before her enemies threaten everyone she holds dear.
Natalya Stravinsky is about to face her greatest challenge yet...
For the past five years, Natalya Stravinsky has dreamed of two things: to rejoin the South Toms River werewolf pack and to be reunited with Thorn Grantham. Fate may have brought the pack back into her life, but unless she journeys to Russia to save Thorn, the love she's found may be lost again. For a stubborn werewolf like Natalya, no distance is too far, no magic spell too complex to master, because one way or another she will find a way to have everything she has ever wanted.
Werewolf Natalya Stravinsky might lose herself in a New Jersey shopping binge before she can get herself out of her this latest conundrum.
After uncovering the true thief for the demons at the ceramic mart, Nat should prop her feet up and take a long rest with her mate Thorn, but instead, a sleazy leprechaun strong-arms her into yet another task. Nat must buy five magical products for his pawn shop in a month or she'll end up as his indentured servant for good.
Nat just wants to fulfill her side of the bargain and get out, but before she can do so, all hell breaks loose. The mystical merchandise she purchased begins to infect the supernatural marts in South Toms River, causing chaos and death among the customers. Now, Nat must discover the culprit behind the tainted goods, or this quest could be her last.
Werewolf Natalya Stravinsky rose to the occasion and helped defend her pack. Now she basks in the love of her boisterous Russian family and perhaps hoard-or collect more holiday babbles, trinkets, and doo-dads.
Her life is on the up and up, right? Another crisis comes barreling down the Garden State Parkway when the Russian werewolf mafia kidnaps Nat's father. Using the help of her lovingly neurotic supernatural friends, including her ex-boyfriend Thorn and the gallant wizard Nick, Nat is ready to take action, or loss everything in the process.
Natalya Stravinsky and her boisterous Russian family are on the hunt for a champion to protect Nat from the ultimate threat.
Not long after a harrowing confrontation with one of the goddess Diana's hellhounds, Nat's family makes the difficult decision to leave South Toms River New Jersey to find an enchanted seed capable of summoning a great champion: a dragon.
But the seed comes at a steep price: Nat must uncover a mysterious killer who's been hunting innocent supernaturals in a hidden forest community. With a vengeful goddess and her relentless hounds on her trail, Nat must summon her inner strength in order to apprehend the killer, and summon the dragon before she becomes one of Diana's hunting hounds for all eternity.
Conniving creatures and their exorbitant prices are coming out of the woodwork in South Toms River, New Jersey.
Werewolf Natalya Stravinsky has stepped up to the plate as alpha female of the South Toms River Pack and defended her loved ones. While She Who Always Walks the Path is still a looming threat, another problem arises. Nat must fulfill her debt to some shifty demons who own a ceramics mart in town. A mysterious thief has appeared, stealing powerful weapons. Now, Nat must discover the culprit before the demons unleash their fury on the pack.
Will Nat be able to uncover the thief and restore balance, or will the delicate facade keeping the human world from the supernatural one come crumbling down?
The hunter is now the hunted...
To save the life of his terminally ill sister, former werewolf hunter Zach McGinnis left his sister in the hands of an alpha to save her. Now all the werewolf-hunting clans have placed a target on his back. One too many bullets hit their mark and now Zach lives as werewolf on the run from his past until he reunites with the girl he left behind.
After a mysterious explosion, Lark DeStefano discovers a six-foot tattoo of a serpent inked under her skin. The tattoo grants her dark and deadly powers beyond imagination. She is thankful Zach is protecting her, but now both of them are in danger from enemies who seek to kill them.
Will Lark and Zach learn to work together to uncover the secrets under her skin, or will their past bring an end to their love before it even begins?
One night is never enough...

Like two ships passing in the night, these career-minded lovers hook up for booty calls, but they never stay after they play. Ever since they grew up together, they have been in and out of each other's lives--until Carlie accepts a job as a concierge in Tomas's luxury hotel where the rich and famous get their kink on in private.

But all isn't well. Tate finds herself still tormented by the relentless man she thought she'd outwitted. Dagon taught her to anticipate her opponent's actions, to predict every nefarious scheme, but behind the scenes more enemies are lining up to take away the freedom she fought to achieve. Can Tate rely on her inner strength and the love from Quinn Belfry, the General's Master of Blades, to defeat her greatest enemy? Or will her greatest adversary, who hides behind the Guild, bring Tate under their control forever?
