SHADES OF MIDNIGHT 1/2003 ISBN: 082177431X Summoning the man who left her at the altar two years ago is definitely a last resort for Eve Abernathy. But paranormal expert Lucien Thorpe is the only person who can rid her house of the uneasy ghosts—noisy, lovemaking ghosts, no less—who haunt it, and her…Eve may be ahead of her time as a woman who documents otherworldly activity, but she longs for the kind, sturdy husband and children to raise. Eve knows absentminded genius Lucien is more comfortable with the dead than the living, and better acquainted with his Specter-o-Meter than the longings of a woman’s heart. But with his arrival, Eve can’t deny that her feelings for him haunt her as restlessly as the shades who have invaded her home—especially when Lucien is doing his utmost to woo her all over again…
SHADES OF SCARLET 8/2003 ISBN: 0821774336 Eve Abernathy and Lucien Thorpe may have—finally—walked down the aisle, but Eve isn’t convinced that they’re on the path to “happily ever after.” Not when she aches to give Lucien a child, which seems to be a dream destined to remain out of her reach…Yet she can’t ignore her maternal longings when the plantation home she and Lucien have been asked to investigate is haunted by the ghost of a young boy who mournfully asks if Eve is his mother. And especially not when a former paramour of Lucien’s arrives to present him with the son he never knew he had. As the spirits in the house grow more restless, Eve and Lucien face the unexpected task of raising a boy who exhibits his father’s otherworldly talent for speaking to the dead. But before Eve can learn to love her darling husband’s son, she must resist the spectral plea of another motherless child…
SHADES OF WINTER 4/2003 ISBN: 0821774328 Eve Abernathy knows that her fiancé, paranormal expert Lucien Thorpe, is terribly absentminded, but she can’t quite believe that he’s left her at the altar…again. Eve is ready to call the whole thing off when a note delivered to the church chills her to the bone. “I didn’t forget,” it says…in several frighteningly different hands—none of them Lucien’s. Soon Eve is on her way to the abandoned hotel where Lucien has been researching supernatural activity, accompanied by members of the Plummerville Ghost Society, in town for the wedding. She’s not prepared to see the man she loves drained and exhausted by the spirits he’d channeled—and when things begin to go bump in the night with a vengeance, she’s terrified. That the earthbound shades haunting the echoing rooms will not let Lucien rest. That she and Lucien will never escape the snowbound hotel. That their wedding—their marriage—is simply an empty dream.

Yet when the artist Edgar Degas introduces her to the avant-garde painter Edouard Manet, her life changes dramatically. Manet brings her to the cafes and the art studios where intellectuals of the city gather. Victorine agrees to pose for him, and the result is a nude painting that shocks Paris—and opens doors to the highest levels of society for her, both socially and politically. Overnight, she becomes the city’s most sought after courtesan in Paris, invited to lavish and exclusive social events and pursued by the wealthiest of men. When she becomes the favorite of the Duke de Lyon, the power behind the shaky government of Emperor Louis-Napoléon, her continued attraction to Manet becomes dangerous, because the duke is a man who will have Victorine all to himself—at any cost.

TIME AND AGAIN 1970 (Time-travel) "Sleep. And when you awake, everything you know of the 20th century will be gone from your mind. Tonight is January 21, 1882.

Did illustrator Si Morley really step out of his twentieth-century apartment one night -- right into the winter of 1882? The U.S. Government believed it, especially when Si returned with a portfolio of brand-new sketches and tintype photos of a world that no longer existed -- or did it?
