Sin And Sorrow

O-negative is Marie Aberdein's favorite treat and she hates herself for it. But she hates the MacLeod Vampire Hunters even more. They stole everything from her. Twice. The first time, on the night of the Battle of Culloden, the Hunter killed her husband and their child. Marie has survived the last two centuries hidden away with the man she calls Father, keeping their vow never to feed from humans. But the latest Hunter-the direct descendant of her husband's murderer-doesn't care about their good intentions. All he wants is for their ashes to blow away in the wind, so he tracks them down and burns the only family she has left. Payback is long overdue. Marie has escaped the MacLeods' clutches and she intends to make this lease of life count. Merely digging her fangs into the Hunter won't do. She'll take everything he holds dear, starting with his heir, History undergrad and rugby-playing Gabriel. Once she has Gabriel in the palm of her hand, she'll rip out the boy's heart. And make his father watch. Only Gabe is more angel than demon. His heart is warm, his soul loyal. He makes Marie feel like the girl she has never had the chance to be. A girl who wants to laugh, flirt, and be kissed. But allowing their love to kindle will clash against the beliefs that make them who they are. When Gabriel becomes the next Hunter at twenty-one, Marie will be one of the creatures he is destined to slaughter. And loving him means giving up her vendetta against his father-something she won't do. Sin and Sorrow is a New Adult paranormal romance set at St. Andrews University in modern-day Scotland.

A girl who needs to undo the past. A boy who wants to forget it. In love, there’s no way back. At high school in Steep Hill, Kansas, Cassie O’Malley and Josh MacBride were the poster couple for quarterback/cheerleader romance until they starred in their own tale of teen pregnancy. No need to say: their shotgun wedding was low-key. But when there was no baby anymore, they went their separate ways. Five years later, Josh has breezed through Georgetown and is about to finish his post-grad degree at Oxford University. He is set to join a lobbying group on Capitol Hill, owned by his new fiancée’s father. For Josh, the sky is now the limit… only he must first take care of a tiny legal matter: technically, he’s still married to the girl who broke his heart. Meanwhile, Cassie has been waiting tables in Steep Hill to pay for her sick grandmother’s care. On the day of the old lady’s funeral, Cassie is served with two sets of papers. Josh is asking for a divorce. Her heart squeezes, but, well, he moved on a long time ago. But the second envelope shakes Cassie to the core. So, for the first time, she leaves Kansas and heads to good ol’ England. There, Cassie finds that Josh has not just “moved on,” he’s freakin’ engaged to some blue-blooded heiress. The feelings Cassie had buried deep rush back to her. But no matter if he keeps thrusting the divorce papers under her nose, she needs him to save the only person she loves more than Josh, more than life itself… ** BOOK TWO IN THE SERIES 'FAST FORWARD' WILL BE RELEASED ON DECEMBER 19TH **

By man's standards, I had broken no laws. Still I guarded and justified my secrets. Doesn't everyone? Do you? Secrets can be caustic... I attended church but buried my secrets, creating shame, self-loathing, guilt, and soul-racking pain. I knew by God's laws, I would be judged as a sinner, an adulteress, and a murderer. The appalling choices I had made brought me to the very gates of Hell: emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Instead of reaching out to my Christian friends and church leaders, I became God's prodigal daughter, grasping at worldly solutions. Hopeless and desperate, I eventually submitted to HIM. Searching the Bible rigorously, I discovered deliverance from my demons... Jesus, the cross, and HIS resurrection were all I needed. I share my journey with you to give you the assurance that the forgiveness and freedom God offers is within your reach. Nothing is too hideous... if you turn it towards the SON. Our Savior is alive and offering redemption. Allow my story, God's mercy, and HIS grace to show you how to LIVE FREE
