PURE CAPTIVATION
​After losing his leg fighting Natives in the Northwest Territories, Captain Dayne Neverwood returns an empty shell. Useless and alone, he prays for death—sooner rather than later. His former commander has the answer: One last mission and an honorable demise. His orders? Hijack the Enchanted Lady and give the Brits a taste of their own medicine. He wasn't prepared for their obstinate prisoners—including a lad barely able to climb the rat lines. "Lane" arouses his body and soul, and soon, Dayne finds himself questioning his existence.
Delainey Walsh has fought men her entire life. Forced to leave Ireland in shame, she joins a noble family in London. When his obsessed son rapes her, scandal erupts, and Lord Darnley forces Lainey on a ship bound for Canada. Disguised as a boy, she keeps the sailors at bay—until the handsome American captain saves their sinking vessel. His brooding presence ignites her body, challenging her Irish spirit. Battling her fear of the stronger sex, she avoids him. The man won't let her be. Compassion conquers fear as Dayne mentors her. And when he discovers her secret, sparks ignite. Can a man truly give her pleasure and not pain?
Upon revealing Lainey's true sex, Dayne finds his true reason for living. Tired of fighting, he wants nothing more than to spend his life by her side. But with war at their heels, his mission isn't complete. His memorial is already planned. Will he sacrifice his country for a lifetime of happiness?

Would you enter a plantation haunted by the past?


Five long years.

Librarian Avery Jackson has dreamt about restoring her grandfather's ancestral plantation forever. It's finally within reach. However, her grandmother had other ideas. Avery must share the inheritance with Tulane University's new rockstar history professor. Unfortunately, the man's chocolate eyes and sexy voice are a danger to her heart--and her libido. She refuses to let him win. After losing her family, she isn't about to let anyone infiltrate her heart again.

He's so close to finishing his book

When late romance novelist Edwina Beaumont bequeaths historian Grant Michaud half the deed to his family home, his long-lost dream becomes a reality. The icing? Tulane offers him tenure if he donates the relic to the history department. He doesn't expect Edwina's captivating, red-haired granddaughter to fight him for it. He can't give in to his desires, but with her extensive knowledge about the plantation, he needs her. And he always gets what he wants.

They've unleashed something sinister

But the longer Grant and Avery explore their new plantation, restoration and research no longer matter--because the long-dead residents haven't left. The lantern at the entry gates illuminates every night without cause and the spirit of a slave girl--and former conductor of the Underground Railroad--can't leave her past behind.
Calling in a professional ghost hunter, Grant and Avery battle malevolent forces to help girl find freedom. But the can't fight what they can't see.

​ One thing's for certain...
Evil lurks beyond the gates of the Beaumont House. And until they discover the truth, nobody's getting in.

Thank you for your patience...

I'm in the process of removing all of my publications from Amazon and listing them directly through one platform. This takes time, so my books have been offline for a few days. In the future, I plan on releasing most of my novels for free, except through Amazon who doesn't allow it unless I remain exclusive with them. Thanks to my many readers who have uploaded my novels. The last five years have been wonderful, and I have many more in the works! ~Auria~

So exciting! Silence the Northwoods is now available in all formats! It was a great first day release, thanks to my many wonderful writer friends and readers. And, I got my first 5 star review!


"Silence the Northwoods got my heart pounding in the first chapter and then kept me up way past my bedtime!

The peace of a snow-covered paradise is shattered by a terrifying crime. And it can't be a coincidence that it's the same MO as a crime that occurred at the same ski hill years ago. Kyra Erikkson works on the hill, and she's no stranger to fear. In fact, that's why she's there - trying to outrun her own brutal past and keep her young son safe.

FBI agent Colton Ramsey would rather be anywhere than freezing his ass off in sub-zero temperatures on a ski hill in the Upper Peninsula. That is, until he meets Kyra and 5-year-old Jackson. And when the mysteries he's unraveling all start to point in Kyra's direction, nothing will tear him away.

What romantic suspense should be, this story really delivers! I loved it and can't wait for the next book in the series."
