I started sobbing again and Kellan wrapped his arms around me. Grinning, he rocked me back and forth. “Should we go home and celebrate?” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and I laughed, Abby laughed too.
Shaking my head, I told him, “No…we’re going to go rent the best hotel room in the city.” Kellan lifted one eyebrow and I giggled. “I am not spending my wedding night in the room right next door to my parents.”
Kellan laughed and nodded and I hoped my dad didn’t kill my new husband when we came back home tomorrow. Or my mom…she was going to be pissed that she’d missed this. Although, I’m sure I could talk Kellan into a formal ceremony, just to please her. Personally, I didn’t need it. Our quiet moment on the dance floor of the bar where we’d first laid eyes on each other…was perfect.
Kellan started pulling us away, then looked back at Denny and Abby starting to slow dance on the empty floor. I watched them for a second, happy for them, happy for me. Kellan chuckled, then called out, “I could probably scrounge up a couple of rings if you guys want to get married, too?”
I thumped Kellan in the chest and Denny laughed. Abby raised an eyebrow. “Oh, no, I’m not getting married in a bar. I’m getting the whole shebang.” Denny looked back over to her and she lifted her other eyebrow, almost daring him to tell her otherwise. Wisely, Denny didn’t say anything, only smiled and hugged her tight.
Kellan laughed, then shook his head. Grabbing my hand, he pulled us from the bar into a future that seemed chock full of possibilities. We were young…we were in love…and we were about to go off into the unknown and make a treasure-trove of stories that we could tell our children about someday. But I embraced the sea of change before me, because there was one thing that wouldn’t be changing, and it was the most important thing of all.
Kellan was mine and I was his…forever.

Conversion (2009) Emma is happy. She's got a promising career in front of her, great friends, and a pretty amazing family. But her social life has been a little lacking lately. That's when fate stepped in, and crashed her into a tall, dark and handsome man. Sure, he has his secrets...don't we all, and, yeah, maybe his secrets are a little more unusual than most - like he's a partial vampire who can walk around during the day, but also enjoys a little plasma nightcap now and again - but to Emma, he's single, successful, and an extraordinary gentleman.
That makes up for a lot. Of course, his condition is a bit more serious than he first lets on, and living a life with him will require some sacrifices that most just aren't willing to make. Will she? Is love enough to compensate for a life that will never be anywhere near the realm of normalcy? But then again...what's normal anyway?
Collision Course (2010) Lucas had it all – popularity, a devoted girlfriend, a brotherly best friend, and a loving mother who would do anything for him. His life was right on course to be a successful and fulfilling one, until the crash changed everything. It happened late one night during a sudden downpour. That evening, three young lives were lost and one life was left irrevocably altered. As the lone survivor, Lucas finds himself surrounded by swirling gossip of reckless 508
drunkenness from the small town he used to warmly call home.
Amid his own guilt and self-hatred, Lucas struggles to find hope, find peace, and maybe, even find love again.

Conversion Book Three: 'Til Death (2010) Emma was content with her life. She didn’t want anything to change. Two kids, an amazing husband, and one incredible family, her life had become everything she ever hoped it would be.
But there is a downside to having everything that you’ve ever wanted, a downside that Teren and Emma couldn’t possibly have been prepared for. When you have everything that you want…then you also have everything to lose.
Conversion Book Two: Bloodlines (2010) Emma has admittedly made some bad decisions in her life, but she was positive that being with Teren Adams wasn’t one of them. He was everything she’d ever wanted in a man – kind, caring, loyal, loving, and on occasion, a hopeless romantic. True, he was also a vampire, or partially so, and had recently joined the ranks of the undead, but to Emma, that was inconsequential. She was his, he was hers, and she could not wait to be his bride, to mother his children, and to stay by his side for as long as her mortal life would allow her to. At least…that was the plan.
It's All Relative (2010) The club was packed, the music was loud, and the alcohol was flowing. Jessie couldn’t keep her eyes off of the exotic man drinking by himself across the room. Kai couldn’t keep his gaze from the buxom brunette laughing with her friends at the bar. Fate pulled them together, giving them a night that neither one would soon forget. But then, you know what they say about fate. While their one night of bliss was perfect, neither Jessie nor Kai could have imagined what would be in store for them the next time they met, when fate again crossed their paths. As they both soon discovered, sometimes life places obstacles in the way that are insur-mountable...even for soul mates.
