My name is Tamryn. I am a woman with a job, a home, and a mother who loves me. Not whole, but not quite incomplete, either. I have many faces, but they all want one thing: someone to protect me. Someone to love me. And then I find him... He's everything I ever thought I wanted. Handsome, suave, gentlemanly, my knight in shining armor, with a hand stretched out to make everything perfect. And everything is perfect, that is, until my true savior comes along and shows me just how broken I am, and works to piece me back together...

After facing intense tests and trials throughout their career and relationship, FBI agent Olivia and Brock head to Cancun for a relaxing beach getaway. When they arrive at the resort, no one could have prepared them for the mass duplicity and the veil of vengeance that would spiral loose. The dead body of an American politician is found stuffed into the closet of Olivia and Brock’s hotel room.

She found the bodies. The Headmaster smiled and gave her a pardon. Scarlett uncovered the worst secret in Obsidian Marrow Academy and lived. Now Malakor — three-thousand-year-old Lich, institutional monster, and the calmest creature she's ever wanted to destroy — has told her to continue her studies. She knows what that means. She's not forgiven. She's being watched. The void inside her is getting hungrier, and the only thing keeping it from swallowing her whole is the three of them. Draven, whose shadows settle around her like a second skin. Lysander, whose ice cracks every time he ...

She was hired to be a wife. She didn’t know the marriage was real.

I arrived at The Obsidian Marrow as a Null—a hollow space where magic goes to die. I didn't realize I was the one who was going to devour it all. In a world governed by blood oaths and ancient lineages, being a "Null" is a death sentence. At the elite Obsidian Marrow, I’m the lowest of the low, a girl with a void where a soul should be. I was supposed to be a sacrifice—a battery to be used and discarded by the elite of the Iron Vow Society. But the mountain has other plans. And so do the three monsters who rule its shadows. Draven, the Alpha of the Shadow Beasts. He wants to break me,...

The way Taryn Maddox and I first met wasn't ideal—I'd almost driven off a bridge, and she was meant to make any charges go away. Not exactly the best first impression.

She had no surname, no file history, and a void in her chest where her magic should have been. The Obsidian Marrow didn't recruit girls like Scarlett. It recruited assets — students with classifiable abilities and enough extraction value to justify the cost. Scarlett had none of that on paper. What she had was an absence the machine couldn't read, and someone at the top of the food chain who wanted to know why. What she didn't expect was the wolf who'd been circling her for six days before she ever set foot in the mountain. Or the Frostwoven mathematician rebuilding his family's crimes ...

The Writer in the Garden adds up to a glorious compendium of writing that is amusing, original, and idiosyncratic. Excerpts span not only the beauties of the garden but such far-reaching topics as weeds, the tribulations of gardening in a cold climate, the dangers of rare plant collecting, the delights of weeding, the pitfalls of growing roses, and the place of "tacky" in a garden. The book is impeccably read by a group of professional actors.

I should've walked my over-qualified legs right out of his penthouse the moment he screamed at me for wearing a tutu with his daughter, but stupid me, I didn't.
