• Blood Is Thicker Than Water (2002)
  Amy Reilly is pretty sure a vampire attacked her in November. She just doesn't know who saved her life that night or how. Her brother Paul got the crap scared out of him in December by a couple of very predatory guys. Jake Reilly is dying fast and facing the biggest decision of his life. Sophia just wants to meet the mystery man from her dreams. Marcie Reilly wants to have a healthy baby and understand why an ancient Celtic goddess has chosen her as a channeling conduit. At two thousand years old, Lorcan just wants the other bloodsuckers to leave him and his alone. His fairy godmother can stay out of their lives too. Alex is a vampire who truly believes the Blood in his veins entitles him to everything he can lay his hands on. His burned out thrall, Jessup, only wants to do one last thing and then he's free of the whole lot of them.
  
  Their lives are about to come together in an explosion that will leave four of them married, three of them vampires, two of them thralls, two of them dead, one baby, the living believing in reincarnation and the agendas of ancient gods, the dead believing in the power of family, and a vampiric feud on their collective hands.
  
  All's fun in love and war.

• Love & Benjamins (2003)
  Men make you crazy. Women make you stupid. It's never about the Benjamins. KGB operatives, Alexei, Travis, Vinnie and Donovan have scored the deal of a lifetime and now they’re trying to retire from a business you just don’t quit. Alexei has some issues with women, control, and having a job that breeds cynicism even in the well-adjusted, which he isn’t. Travis is a poor boy that wants the finer things in life, china, coordinated drapes, and maybe a clean woman without any sexually transmitted diseases. Vinnie is tired of playing double agent and living with the ghosts of his past. Donovan wishes he could admit to himself that he just wants a drink.
  
  They’ve paid off upper management and now they’re holed up on a tropical island trying to complete one last mission and smoke out there opponent, Jerry. He’s an ex-associate and a former CIA operative. He knows about the score and wants it for himself. Jerry’s concocted a little government agenda of his own in order to get the venture capital necessary to take Alexei and his men down. He’s willing to destroy an island to do it. So are the boys.
  
  Enter Toni, a burned out lounge singer who just wants to get away from it all in every way possible. She just can’t imagine her life getting any better, or worse. Minnesota, a girl with a taste for kinky sex who thinks she’s working for the CIA. She’s too smart for her own good but not smart enough to realize she’s being had. And Lindsey, a nice girl who just wants to have a little fun while on assignment. A quickie romance with a mysterious man sounds like the plot of one of her favorite espionage novels.
  
  They all discover that there's no telling what one good woman can do, much less three.
