A CLASSIC EPIC FAMILY SAGA

… into a deep, dark well of pain and love, corruption, deceit, and murder.

There are no monsters here but flawed and tragic humans—no werecreatures, vampires, dragons. There is no magic here but dark love and aching desire—no witches, mages, demons. There is no alternate universe here but an imaginary county in a very real city operating under its own rules.

The cover of The Proviso, 3rd edition

There are no delicate flowers here but beautiful, mature, brilliant women who hold their own with grace and panache. There are no alpha male billionaires— Oh, wait. Yes, there are. My bad. They’re bad, too. Dominating, one might say. If one were saying.

Come with me, will you? into a world you may hate or you may love.

Hopefully both.
