About this series
Some scars never fade…
In the quiet backwater town of Hawthorne, a series of chilling murders rock the community, each victim bearing the sinister trademark of a rogue vampire. Char, a former lawyer turned skilled private investigator, takes on the case at the request of a grieving spouse who seeks justice for his wife's untimely demise. Little does Char know that her pursuit of the truth will lead her down a treacherous path, dangerously close to a malevolent force she never expected.
During a once in a lifetime photo shoot amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Ireland, Georgia Tyler's life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon an occult bookstore tucked away in a cobblestone alley. Possessed by a cunning and relentless demon named Mara, Georgia finds herself caught in a web of darkness and deceit. Driven by a sinister agenda to claim three soul stones of immense power, Mara uses Georgia's body to pay an unwelcome visit to the dark fae who possess the Eye, a coveted artifact of destruction.
Solcruth and Doirsain are stones of creation and amplification. They are held by Cole and Char, making the two witches targets in the unfolding chaos. Mara, fueled by a thirst for ultimate dominion, will stop at nothing, even spilling blood and extinguishing lives, to obtain these stones for her wicked purposes.
To claim Solcruth, Mara curses Cole, setting a grim timeline in motion. When Cole meets his end, the demon will seize the stone, unleashing devastating consequences. Meanwhile, Char wields Doirsain, a stone capable of amplifying her own powers. But even that might not be enough to ensure victory over Mara's evil designs.
Amidst encroaching darkness, Char discovers the shocking truth that her enigmatic mentor is none other than a two-thousand-year-old vampire, Brand, whose allure is as captivating as it is dangerous. Caught between her duty as an investigator and the tumultuous emotions stirred by this unexpected attraction, Char must safeguard her heart from a potential murderer while confronting the malevolent demon responsible for orchestrating these nightmarish events.
As the body count rises and time slips away, Char must gather her wits, reforge old alliances, and race against the shadows to prevent Mara from claiming all three soul stones. Failure will unleash unimaginable havoc upon an unsuspecting world, dooming it to an eternity of darkness and despair.
In this pulse-pounding fantasy thriller, Char's resilience will be tested, her loyalties pushed to the brink, and her heart teetering on the edge of danger. Can she rise above the encroaching darkness, protecting not only her own heart but also the lives of the innocent? The answers hang in the balance as Char's choices become the deciding factor in a battle between light and darkness, where the fate of three realms rest upon her shoulders.

"Magick can be expensive." When Charlotte Knox was twelve, a dark witch murdered Delia, the only mother she'd ever known. Ten years later, Charlotte thinks she is safe because she's already had her share of heartache. Nothing could be worse than losing her mother. Could it? At a family reunion, she meets Cole Delaney. The attraction is instant, the heat intense. Taking a chance on love suddenly seems like an adventure instead of a risk. But before Char can get to their first kiss, her great grandmother brings a message from beyond the grave. Delia is not in the Summerlands. As tragedy piles upon tragedy, Char realizes that her mother's killer is back, determined to complete a blood-magick ritual that will grant him unimaginable power and eternal life. As Char races against time to rescue her younger sister, Lena, from the dark mage whose evil ambition threatens everyone she loves, Cole joins her, insisting that they are stronger together. Their only hope lies in a magic talisman – a soul stone passed down from her grandmother – that grants the bearer immeasurable power. With Sasha, the stone's wyvern protector, they set out to save Lena. Can they reach her in time, or will the mage destroy them all?

Finding a witness gets messy sometimes… All Charlotte Knox wants is to find Ben Kennedy – wolf shifter and her primary witness – so she can quash the suit against her client. Unfortunately, that isn't all she gets. According to his conniving wife, Ben's last known location is the office of an environmental action organization in Tallahassee, Florida. But the clues Char digs up lead to the capitol building, and Senator Samuel Drake, likely the last person to see Ben before he disappeared. When Senator Drake is murdered, Char is there to find the body while fighting back memories of her recent trauma in Belfast. As first on the scene, with no legitimate reason she can share for being there, Char is an instant suspect. Char's first instinct is to refuse when the senator's wife asks her to find his assassin. But new evidence surfaces suggesting that the killing and Ben's disappearance are connected. Finding the murderer might mean finding Ben. With curses flying, bodies falling, and a blood cult rising, Char is forced to take a case she doesn't want to find the only man who can clear her client's name. Help comes from unexpected quarters, but will it be enough to stop the bloodlust of an ancient-artifact wielding warlock? Fans of Kim Harrison, Lindsay Buroker, and Nalini Singh will find themselves captivated by this heart-pounding urban fantasy adventure.

Fairy tales have to come from somewhere… When Professor Gant Santos hires Char to recover stolen property, she thinks it's just a routine legal matter. But then she discovers that the property is a glass sarcophagus thousands of years old, and her employer is the angel she's been dreaming about for weeks. The director of the Gainesville Museum of Art, Science, and History is preparing to retire in style, and he doesn't care what it costs. He's been gathering illegal magickal artifacts from every corner of the globe for years, and now he plans to auction them off to the worst parahumans in three realms. When he's offered the Clochroi, a ruby soul stone with the power to reveal the truth about any person or situation, he jumps at the chance to add millions to his retirement fund. But the stone has secrets. Not only is it unfettered – owned only by the person who holds it at the moment – but it isn't really a stone at all. The ruby's true nature is stranger and more horrifying than Char could ever have guessed. And that is only the beginning. What is the connection between the stone and the sarcophagus? Kept apart for centuries, what will happen when they are reunited? Char must find a way to bring them together before the sarcophagus is opened, and all hope is lost.
- Time Lapse: The Knox Agency Chronicles
There are only seven soul-stones, but every time one turns up, it means trouble with a capital T. Charlotte Knox is a newly minted lawyer who's just aced the bar exam, opened her first office, and landed her very first client. Life should be a breeze, right? Well, think again. Despite repeatedly insisting that she's a lawyer, not a private investigator, Charlotte finds herself entangled in a web of supernatural affairs. Zelmara O'Connor, an extraordinary white witch and coven leader, keeps drawing her into unforeseen situations. Now, Charlotte is whisked away to Ireland on a mission to locate Zelmara's missing daughter, Ryleigh, and ensure her safety from the clutches of Drakat, the ambitious ruler of Belfast's demon underworld.

Charlotte discovers that Ryleigh is on the run protecting Nate Byrne, a twelve-year-old boy with a penchant for mischief. But there's more at stake than meets the eye.

If Drakat obtains this stone, her thirst for power may lead to catastrophic consequences. With the fate of Ryleigh, Nate, and Belfast hanging in the balance, Drakat will stop at nothing to control the Caraigama, even if it means murdering the innocent. But Charlotte isn't alone in this perilous endeavor. She holds her own soul stone, defended by Sasha, a formidable wyvern guardian. With the support of her boyfriend, Cole, Charlotte embarks on a race against time to save Ryleigh, Nate, and the precious stone, all while ensuring she makes it back for her next court date.
