A Set of two lesfic romance novels, Broken Women and the sequel, Healing Embrace. In Broken Women:Can two women, unlucky in love, find solace in each other?Where do you go when you lose everything?

When your beloved’s family takes everything else you have, hope is all that’s left…if you can hang on to that.You’ve been smitten more than once. You’ve even been in love a time or two. The trouble is, your feelings are always only yours. Cupid’s arrow always fails to land.In Healing Embrace:Barb and Janet were a couple…and then they weren’t. What now? They started a tentative relationship that led to sex a little too soon. Both shied away but their friends knew the two women belonged together. Their friends conspired to put them together in a neutral place where they could talk it out and it worked. They talked. They started slow, with actually dating the second time around…but now what? They’ve both been shattered by love lost. They’re both wary of getting deeply involved again. It doesn’t help matters any when Barb’s focus gets drawn away from her own happiness to tend to the needs of others. Janet tries to be understanding of Barb’s need to be there for her family. She knows she loves the fiercely independent blonde but she’s not so sure they belong together in a committed, long term sort of way, especially when her attempts to lend a hand from time to time seem to bring out more ire than gratefulness. Barb’s dad and his health problems have her feeling years older than she already is. When she looks at the only slightly younger Janet, she sees the exuberance and inexperience of youth. She loves the curvy cop with her heart on her sleeve but she’s afraid the younger woman too often leaps before she considers all of the consequences.What will it take to convince the two women that their personalities complement each other and that they’re a good match? Can two love weary people, from different worlds, find strength together? Can they find more and even a happily ever after?Fans of the Morelville Mysteries mystery/romance series may recognize these two characters, who played supporting roles in these books but these novels stand alone, apart from that series.

When you steal from the gods, they find the most creative ways to punish you… Lukas
and his best friend Mal are Greek adventurers and warriors in the
tradition of Jason, Odysseus, and a host of other heroes, and Lukas
knows that despite his humble beginnings, he has the potential to take
his place among those men as a legend of mythic proportions. But no one
else believes in him, and so he sets out to prove them all wrong by
undertaking a most Herculean task: climbing Mount Olympus and stealing
Zeus’s golden crown. Zeus, however, is not amused, and Lukas’s
theft is quickly punished with his swift and painful death—or so Zeus
believes. But Aphrodite has other plans for such a bold and handsome
hero: she rescues Lukas from death’s door and uses her powers to hide
him away in the body of Lucia, a comely maiden who Zeus would never
suspect of being the thief who took his crown. Now, Lucia has
only a few days to convince Mal to help her find and return Zeus’s
crown, before the other gods realize what Aphrodite has done and return
Lucia to Hades… or worse, leave her trapped forever in the body of this
maiden. She’ll need to move fast and decisively to win the day, which
would be easy if she weren’t so distracted by all these strange new
feelings of lust and attraction she’s having for her adventuring
partner, Mal… Views: 217
