The Protectors Series

Lindsey Baker and Will Claxton had once been best friends, until betrayal drove them apart.    Now someone is sabotaging Lindsey's ranch, and Will seems the most likely candidate.  Although Lindsey wants to believe he's innocent, he's the one with the motive. Years earlier, her father had foreclosed on a loan that cost Will his family's land. Still, he insists he had nothing to do with the 'accidents' plaguing Lindsey's ranch. He wants his property returned, but he plans to buy it fair and square.   Lindsey wants to believe the man she's loved since childhood, but she fears he'll do almost anything to reclaim his family's ranch. His sudden interest in her as a woman is too convenient. Can she trust a man who's never seen her as anything but a friend, when she knows he'll do anything to regain his family's heritage – including breaking her heart once again?

Anastasie Eloise Bertrand, Ana, has spent the better part of fifteen years in a state mental hospital convinced that she is the reincarnated protector of an ancient and powerful book. Ana struggles to discern her present reality from the wildly vivid dreams of her past lives as a rebellious Chinese princess with formidable martial arts skills who lived during China's Spring and Autumn period, and as a fearless Jewish double agent working with the French Resistance during World War II. Just as Ana comes to the realization that her dreams are indeed real and that her only chance to save humanity is to escape the confines of the hospital, a new psychologist takes over her case, and to Ana's surprise, is the first person to truly believe her. But time is quickly running out, and soon Ana is torn between the good doctor and the relentless call of the Great Book of Power. Even as she struggles to understand who she is and her true place in the universe, a dark and secret society assembles to take control of the book and unleash its devastating and destructive power on humanity for their own benefit. If Ana is to succeed, she must harness the knowledge of her past lives, find her fellow protectors, and bind a book that was designed to create and destroy entire planets in the blink of an eye. The Sixth Seal is a fast paced action adventure with elements of science fiction, fantasy and the paranormal. Buckle up for a wild ride and nearly non-stop action!

"Alyssa, 12, is probably too old to have imaginary friends. She has imaginery monsters under her bed, though; monsters that protect her from the real danger – her father. Tonight, upon returning from The Sanctuary, she watches her body lay in bed with glassy eyes, quaking lips, a teddy bear named Tammy in her arms, and a split down her stomach."

The romance, the adventure, and the magic all culminate in this final book in the Protectors series.   When Grace escaped the castle and killed one of the most powerful Protectors, she knew a war was coming. She had no idea others wouldn't want her to be a part of it. Her parents are trying to protect her, the elders refuse to trust her with her family so close, and some even blame her for the prince's actions. Even as her powers evolve and as Sierra manifests her magic for the first time, the two of them are cast out of the fight.   Grace knows the answers about their new magic lies in the ancient texts, but they were hidden by the elders. A desperate effort to find them is foiled by another looking for the texts–Kilar. As he turns ally after ally against the Avialies in his quest to gain magic for himself, Grace and her friends are forced to find him to thwart his plans. If Kilar finds what he's looking for, he could be too powerful to stop. Grace, Dar, and Sierra face their biggest foe yet–and they may lose too much in the battle to persevere.

Right now he's her knight in shining armor, but will she still want him when she no longer needs a hero?
