"Maggie Shayne is better than chocolate " -New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Forster Ethan "Bubba" Brand was found on the doorstep of the Texas Brand Ranch as a baby, then adopted and raised by the big, loving Brand family. But he's not a real Brand. He never has been. His blood is poison, his birth father, a criminal who murdered his mother. He'll never feel worthy of the Brand name or the amazing kin who claim him. And he can't live in the town where his folk are local heroes, not without feeling like a fraud. The life that's more comfortable for Ethan is on the road, playing in saloons and honky tonks, a country one-hit-wonder waiting for lightning to strike twice. He visits home a few times a year, and that's plenty. Or it was plenty, until one day an angel arrived in his hometown and burrowed straight into his heart. His first glimpse of her shattered him. But Lily is off limits. She's family-her brother Harrison just married his cousin Maria-and any kind of fling with her would tear the clan apart when it ended badly. As it obviously would. Lily's so far above him she must be dizzy. Lily's, sees things differently. She's been in love with Ethan Brand since she first heard him sing. She'd bought his album and knew it by heart long before her brother married into his family, bringing her and her dad down to Ethan's hometown. Now that she knows him in real life, her feelings have become real too. They're meant for each other, it's as plain as day. But she'll be damned if she'll chase a man who's so determined not to be caught. When the death of his birth father brings trouble for Ethan, the family he doesn't think he deserves circle their wagons around him. And the woman he thinks he can't have proves that there's no denying true love. Don't miss Book 1 of this series, Harrison Hyde and the Runaway Bride

I am Rhiannon. This is my origin story. My original name was Rhianikki, firstborn of Pharaoh. My bare feet sank into the sands of Egypt when the pyramids were new. My mother was a divine queen who died giving birth to me and they say the walls of the palace trembled when they took me, wailing, from her cold arms. I was special and not just by virtue of my inherent divinity. But rather than honor my gifts, my father feared them. And when I was five years old, he and his new queen sent me far away from their newborn twin sons, to live at the Temple of Isis, where I learned and grew and became the woman I still am, more than three thousand years later. That temple is where I was raised, by holy women who taught me the secrets of the gods and of the goddesses and all the ways of magic. There I met Luca, a father figure like my own had never been, who could only visit me by night and who said we were related in a way I would not understand until I was older. During those years, I rescued stolen children; I answered women's prayers; I helped artists find their calling; I caused a poor, small village to thrive, and I saw the face of my beloved in the glass-like crystal ball of a prophet. I communed with Isis nightly and became convinced she lived within me, that my soul was divine. That assumption has never left me.

Jack's ex shows up out of the blue to ask for help with her dearly departed husband-who might not be so departed. Kiley-who didn't even know Jack had an ex, is determined to take the case from the rich widow, who is offering big bucks. A weekend in paradise seems like a fun break to Maya, except that both Johnny, the guy she's stuck on, and Joe, the guy she's pretending to be stuck on are coming too. So the gang head to the private island mansion of the widow, where nothing is as it seems, and soon, they are cut off from civilization with no boat, no phone, and no help on the way, as a hurricane bears down on an island crawling with cultish killers who'll sacrifice anyone who tries to stop them from getting what they want. Immortality.
