When 17 year old Cooper dies in an attempt to burn down his school, he finds himself in the afterlife. Lucy, the Devil's sister who has crossed party lines, decides to give Cooper another shot at heaven. The deal? Cooper returns to Earth and has to find a girl named Grace. The rest is up to him.
While Cooper figures out his mission, he's thrown into a life he's always wanted. Great parents, a spot on the Varsity football team and a real future are all within reach. But what he really wants is Grace, a feisty girl with an abusive boyfriend who can pound Cooper into a pulp if he doesn't watch out. While Lucy plays demonic-puppeteer, clues to an unknown past between Cooper and Grace start to unravel. Cooper discovers that what's keeping him from happiness is far more sinister than anything this former bad boy could have ever imagined.

Fighting the Devil brought Cooper and Grace together. But without a little evil to spice things up, the everyday life of a normal teenager is pretty dull. A summer job crewing on a billionaire's yacht in sunny Italy might be just the ticket to rekindle passion. While the setting is perfect, the winding, sinister back streets of Naples are also the perfect playground for a scorned Lucifer to wreak havoc. And if evil doesn't rip them apart, the sultry billionaire's daughter and the sexy First Officer might be what it takes to finally destroy Cooper and Grace's love forever.

Triangles (#1)
Release Date:
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press
A cruise ship. A beautiful island. Two sexy guys. What could possibly go wrong?
In the Bermuda Triangle - a lot.
Hoping to leave behind the reminders of her crappy life -- her father's death years ago, her mother's medical problems, and the loser who's practically stalking her -- seventeen-year-old Autumn Taylor hops on a ship with her sister for a little distraction. When she wakes up in the Bermuda Trianlge, she fears she's gone nuts for more than one reason: that loser's suddenly claiming they're a happy couple...a hot guy is wrapping his arms around her and saying "Happy Anniversary"...and suddenly, she's full of bruises, losing her hair, and getting IV medication. Autumn visits the ship's doctor, hoping for a pill or a shot to make the craziness go away. Instead, she's warned that these "alternate realities" could become permanent.
She just has to ask herself one question - how the hell is she going to get out of this mess?
