Caligula's Sister

"An epic family drama that contains elements of romance and a political thriller."

Rome, in the first century C.E. Drusilla’s family is murdered, one by one, during the reign of the corrupt Emperor Tiberius. Strong-minded and passionate, she resolves to protect her only remaining brother as the rightful heir to the purple. When Drusilla is summoned to Tiberius’ palace on Capri, she unearths mind-bending new levels of horrifying debaucheries. She will risk everything, no matter the cost, to place her brother on the throne.

The Blood Almanack

"A surprisingly sexy, fast-paced, thriller with a mystery that unfolds, layer by layer, throughout the tale."

There are celebrated persons in history about whom we think we know everything. But there may be a dark side to the unknown years in a classic American story. Benjamin Franklin’s brilliance is world-famous. But how far would he go to gain knowledge?

Glass House

"A wryly funny yet tragic thrill ride that culminates in several unexpected twists!"

In a secluded psychiatric hospital on the far west side of Chicago, a newly hired therapist roots through deeply buried secrets to discover who is truly dangerous: the patients, or the people who treat them? Hannibal meets Gone Girl in this psychological thriller.

The Saint's Secret

Who was the man behind the myth? The religious leader we know today as Saint Peter grew up an impoverished, illiterate fisher-boy in Galilee who always craved the upper echelons of learning, and a strong desire to never be powerless. When he grasped the chance fate gave him, he succeeded at last--and in so doing, fooled the world.

Royal Blood

Having narrowly escaped the fallen city of Constantinople in 1453, the exhausted and terrified Isabelle is brought before the ruler of her forgotten homeland, Romania. Captivated by her beauty and her plight, he takes her into his household. Though drawn to the lonely ruler, Isabelle is also repelled by his barbaric customs. When he embarks on a bloody campaign to protect her--and his kingdom--at any cost, Isabelle fears his deepening madness.

ROYAL BLOOD is based on the real life of Vlad the Impaler, known as Dracula.
