Paperback
Sometimes what you think you want and what you actually want turn out to be different things . . .
Rosie Waterman has one to become a working actor. But lately, that hasn't been working out. When she loses her apartment and her job on the same day, she does what she always does--puts herself out there, ready to find the next big thing. But a trip home makes her realize that while she's been struggling to make this dream come true, all her friends have become real adults with careers and weddings and babies on the way. Rosie's been at this for years, and she has nothing to show for it. But how does she simply let go of her dream?
When she's offered a job as the director of a regional theatre's production of Cinderella, she jumps at the chance--even though she's only directed in college and the job is in Door County, Wisconsin, and not in New York. She has no other offers, and at least she'll be getting paid to do something theatrical. But when she arrives, she quickly realizes that the "regional theatre" is actually in a retirement community, and the "actors" are actually senior citizens with no acting experience whatsoever.
Working on the show presents new challenges, forcing Rosie to learn how to step up and be the leader this fledgling theatre troupe needs. The more time she spends with her new cast, the more she begins to rethink what it means to dream big, especially when that big dream hasn't turned out to be at all what she thought it would be. It's not at all what she expected, but could it be exactly what she needs?

Iris Greene used to be a woman with a plan. But all of that changed after she met the love of her life at twenty-four, got pregnant and married…and then became a widow and a single mother all within the span of a year and a half. Now, after years of hustling, Iris is the director of partnerships at a beauty company and raising spunky six-year-old Calla by herself. Despite her busy life, she still can’t help but feel lonely. She just needs to catch her breath—and one night, at her sister’s wedding, when she steps outside to do just that, she sees a certain singer who takes her breath away. . . .
By all accounts, pop R&B singer Angel Harrison has it made. He’s a successful musician and has just scored a brand ambassador deal with an emerging beauty company.

Welcome to the kingdom of Vargah, where in order to live, someone must die.
CITY OF LOST KINGS IS BOOK ONE OF TWO. PERFECT FOR READERS WHO CRAVE THE ADVENTURE OF THE MUMMY AND ATLANTIS WITH THE SCORCHING PASSION AND ROMANCE OF THE BRIDGE KINGDOM.
Her job is to uphold the law, his is to break it.
The kingdom of Vargah has been a stronghold for years, tucked safely behind the wall that separates them from the monsters that roam the west. All that threatens them is the rival kingdom of Novaria. But, with a new king on the throne, a peace treaty by marriage has been arranged and now Vargah sits as the most powerful kingdom in the continent. With their fill of water and astra, gifts from the goddess Celestria, and their enemy kingdom now merged as one, there is nothing Vargah can’t do.
Until their revered leader, King Desmond Orathka, goes missing. The thin thread that holds peace between the rival kingdoms begins to unravel.
Aesira Zeliath, Commander of the Red Order of knights, is strict and rigid, a soldier through and through. When her sister Kamari, the newly appointed queen of Vargah, finds a clue to her missing husband's whereabouts, Aesira will lead a mission through the uncharted west to find the king. Nothing will stand in her way of finding Desmond and helping her sister. Until a walking distraction joins the crew…
Stone Odega, ex-convict and current operations specialist of the Boneyard District, spends his days on parole fixing the flying ships that are used to transport goods over the wall. While Aesira finds him untrustworthy, he also holds the record for most miles flown in Vargah, making him the perfect pilot for the mission. By nature, he is wary of the law, despite the beauty of one looming commander, and is hesitant to accept the queen’s offer of payment until he stumbles upon a curious entry in the king’s journal…
This single clue may be the answer to an age old puzzle Stone never thought he’d complete. One that would lead them to the doorstep of an ancient city full of myths and magic. The discovery could change his, and the lives of his crew, forever. But solving this puzzle would alter the world as they know it and with a kindling attraction growing between him and the commander, he isn’t sure that’s a risk he’s willing to take.
