The Penumbra Papers Series

Dead magicks in the Big Easy... New Orleans is neutral territory so when prominent members of several magical races are murdered, the FBI steps in. A human FBI agent with an X Files mentality… Handpicked to be the Preternatural Liaison Officer, Sade Marquis, along with her werewolf partner Caleb Jones, heads south to investigate. As SAC of the MAGIC Unit (Magical Activity, Grievances, and Inhuman Crimes), it's her job to deal with the monsters. She needs to find and arrest the culprit before war breaks out among the Realms. The investigation is complicated by Roman Montagne, a gargoyle sentinel, and Sade's faerie nemesis, Ariel—aka the King's Seducer. Oh, and then there's the new dragon in town, Nikolas Constantine. Sade can't decide whether to arrest his ass or admire it. When guilt and innocence collide in the French Quarter, it will take Sade's brand of crazy to sort it all out.

Her best friend turns furry. Her godfather’s a master vampire.

When magic’s in the air, Sade is the agent FBI Director George Bailey wants in the trenches. She's savvy, snarky, and sexy but she may have met her match when she's sent to Chicago to investigate the murder of a congressional aide. Is the vampire, Kristian St. John, guilty as sin? Once a Templar knight, Sinjen now teaches history at the University of Chicago. As the prime suspect, he must rely on Sade to clear his name and track the real culprit. If they don't unravel a thousand-year-old mystery, the world—human and magick—will suffer the consequences unleashed by evil incarnate. Too bad they just might die in the attempt...

The Devil’s in the details… What do two werewolf teens missing in the New Mexico desert, a stolen pouch of Native American fetishes, and a drug lord calling himself El Diablo have in common? Undercover FBI Agent Caleb Jones would sure like to find out. The trail leads to Denver where CSI Adele McCoy is investigating the cases of two diabolically murdered men and the pouch of Native American fetishes discovered at one of the crime scenes. She doesn’t believe in magic, but the whole situation gives her a creepy supernatural vibe she can't deny. And the Devil always gets his cut… When their cases collide, Caleb and Adele are soon running for their lives—and fighting an attraction that threatens to combust. Hot on their trail is Caleb’s best friend, Special Agent Sade Marquis. She’s bound and determined to find the wayward werewolf. Death is a dialogue, love hurts, and you don’t know the measure of a man—or a woman—until it’s time to pay the Devil his due. In this Case from the Shadow’s Edge, it might just be a werewolf and the woman he loves who pay the price.

Seeker of Justice. Guardian. Gargoyle. Roman Montagne was created to keep humanity safe from the evil in the world. Appointed by the Concilium Magicae to be the Legate of New Orleans, Roman balances on the narrow line between his duties as First Sentinel of the Gargoyles and his responsibility as Legate. The first rule of Gargoyle Club is “Don’t fall for a human…especially a witch.” Orphan. Fortune Teller. Witchling. Verity La Croix doesn't quite know what she is. Despite being raised by a powerful witch in the bayous, she's stuck telling fortunes in Jackson Square. Stalked by a sorcerer dealing in the black arts and seduced by a gargoyle, Verity might be the missing piece of a prophecy’s puzzle. Cursed at birth, is she innocent or doomed? Judge. Jury. Executioner. If the woman he loves proves to be the prophesied Crucible of Eve, Roman’s duty is clear. He must uphold his honor and slay the enemy of his kind. But is she innocent? And if she is, will he turn renegade to save the woman who holds his heart? **** Come back to New Orleans, the favorite Halloween haunt of mundanes and magicks alike. In this latest tale from the award-winning Penumbra Papers series set in the world of FBI Agent Sade Marquis, an ancient prophecy comes to life—one that threatens to destroy the precarious truce among the magical races.
