Read chapter one

Available in ebook and paperback. In book one, The Shadow and the Rose, ordinary Ash Grove junior Joy Sumner never expected a classmate’s dare to bring brooding teen model Tanner Lindsey into her life. Falling in love with Tanner can only lead to heartache and danger, because his mentor is the seductive, powerful Melisande, a seemingly ageless supermodel who may not be entirely human.

While Joy fights to free Tanner from Melisande’s grasp—and from his own self-doubt—she struggles to cope with her father’s cancer and the discovery that her school crackles with paranormal energy. When Tanner’s love for her puts him in danger, Joy must find the strength to confront both supernatural danger and her own unexpected pregnancy… and to save Tanner’s life.

Length: about 70,000 words ~ Age level: 15 and up

“The author portrays Joy and her friends smart and easy to love. . . . Their independence makes Ash Grove a realistic and engaging world, and its seclusion, fierce loyalties among friends, and compassionate adults are Hogwarts-like at times.” –Kirkus Reviews
