City of Dragons (Books 1–3)

When Detective Lachlan Flint of the Sea City Police asks for my help advising him with cases involving magical creatures, I’m hesitant.
Sure, I’m a dragon shifter, and I’ve got gargoyle friends and drake friends, and I’ve fought off a vampire motorcycle gang or two. The name’s Penny Caspian. Nice to meet you. I’ve got the knowledge and the experience to be a consultant.
But there’s some deep-down trouble in that detective’s hollow eyes, and I got enough problems of my own, chief among them my psycho ex-husband who can’t seem to let go.
So, I’m hesitant. But I don’t say no. This is my city, and I protect my own.
Check out the first three books in the City of Dragons series, bundled together for your convenience.

The Moment We Met Was a Lie

The colorful staff of a hedonistic club attends to the unconventional and sometimes humorous needs of their members while navigating their own friendships, rivalries and romances in this contemporary series.

An actor for the California collective, Black is one of several personnel using a pseudonym. He embarks on recruiting Becky Martin with the ultimate intention of bringing her onto the staff, not as his subordinate, but as his equal. Plagued by a recurring nightmare and stagnant life, Becky actively entertains his proposal.

Black’s closest ally is Cade, the in-house lawyer looking to fill the void of having no genuine connection since coming on board. He sets his sights on an ambitious target after years of being rejected by his co-worker, the showy Hannah Sedgwick.

Certain staff find solidarity in Black’s laidback reticence while others are drawn to the unwavering control imposed by Random, the resident doctor and head of the collective. Random’s most stanch ally is Reno, a snarky and attractive hacker.

Also in his camp are the two most recently hired Tops, Trip and Shay Fontaine, who fills the member relations role. Trip is another actor, whose private issue brewing back home in Oklahoma will drastically challenge his capacity while also ushering a breath of fresh air into his life.

Volume 1 brings Black and Random’s sides together in the equally personal and work-oriented goal of recruiting Becky Martin, who becomes the mutual mission of these two Dominants, binding them over the course of time.

It’s never too dark and never too light in this forward-moving series of desires, mind games, debauchery and the option to live an offbeat life: The Alternative.
