"Once upon a time, there lived three witches."
All her life, Amarrah’s grandmother told her stories of three women, members of a Babylonian king’s harem, who practiced forbidden magic.
On her deathbed, her gidaty confessed that the tales were not just stories. They were the oral records of a timeless curse and a terrible wrong that must be made right. She leaves Amarrah an antique box she calls the witches’ chest. She says it has been kept safe through generations of her family for the eventual day when the three return to claim it.
Amajrrahis heartbroken when the witches chest is stolen from her, and years later, shocked to see it on TV, and determined to get it back. As she draws closer to recovering the chest, Amarrah begins to have memories of her grandmother’s tales, but they don’t feel made up. They feel as if she was there in ancient Babylon, and lived them.
Tracking the artifact leads her to Sergeant Harry Brockson, a handsome soldier who stirs memories of a boy she knew in that other life, centuries ago.
Is Harrison the key to finding the witches chest?
More importantly, could he be her destiny?

She was born to save what he is sworn to destroy.
Indira’s stopped believing in magic and considers herself a lapsed Wiccan. Then she dreams of being sacrificed to an ancient Babylonian god—thrown from a cliff with her two sisters, their arms bound behind them… and wakes with real rope burns on her wrists.
Then a hot priest shows up and says he can help her. Sexy-as-sin Father Tomas tells Indy about a a trio of witches bound from ancient times to help stop a demon. He believes this is Indira's sacred calling, and claims it’s also his own.
But the version of the ancient tale Indira begins to remember is very different from the one Tomas and his witch-hating old mentor tell. In one of those memories, Tomas himself is the man whose hands rest on her back just before she’s pushed from the cliff. And the demon is another innocent victim of the King’s jealous rage, and his High Priest’s hateful vengeance.
She’s supposed to help the so-called demon escape his cruel prison.
And Tomas, the priest with whom she has fallen in love, is oathbound to stop her.

Anything for their child
Magdalena knows Ryan is a playboy from the start, but is compelled by his resemblance to the man of her recurrent dreams, who’d adored her in another lifetime; the man who’d tried to save her life, and failed. She can’t resist him.
The affair is fire, the pregnancy unintended, his reaction predictable. So without telling Ryan why, she retreats to a house on a broken down, one-time vineyard with her mom. They’re a pair of natural witches laying low in New York’s wine country and though she misses Ryan, life is good.
For a little while.
Months later, upon learning the truth, Ryan appears at her door. And that’s when the trouble begins, as townsfolk, including her own doctor, begin to show a creepy interest in her baby, and something supernatural tries to keep her from leaving town. Then she has a vision of Ryan plunging a golden dagger into her heart—a dagger she later finds hidden in his truck.
Ryan only wants to protect her and their child as a vengeful demon plots to take possession of the infant’s body and kill Magdalena.
The only hand capable of wielding the dagger of her death is Ryan’s. As labor hits hard, the demon's power over him grows.
Magdalena’s only hope is perfect love, perfect trust, and all the magic she can muster. Will it be enough to save her baby?

Sentenced to die
​
For the crime of loving an ancient king’s favorite harem slave, Demetrius, the king’s most trusted soldier, was forced to watch his beloved Lilia executed alongside her sisters—pitched from a cliff outside ancient Babylon. But for Demetrius, the fate was worse than death, for his soul was stripped away and he was sentenced to eternal darkness, solitude, stasis.
Lilia has reincarnated over and over, awaiting the time when she could rescue her soulmate, restore his soul, and make him remember the powerful love they share.
Now that moment has come. With her sisters’ help, Demetrius has broken free. His body has been restored. But he’s still missing pieces of his soul and held in the thrall of the same high priest who cast the terrible curse so long ago.
With neither an intact soul nor any memory of where he’s been or why, he devotes himself solely to pleasure and power, and finds plenty of both.
Somehow Lilia must convince him to reclaim his humanity, even though it means giving up all the rest. The wealth, the women, the power are a small price to pay for his soul.
But only he can choose, and if he chooses wrong, he, Lilia and the love that might save us all will be lost forever.
