BENEATH THE SURFACE
Adolescence hasn’t been fun for Liss Lawrence. And after a year in Vancouver, when she’s finally adjusted to her new situation, a freak car accident sends her life spinning out of control and crashing into the world of the malions, a hidden race silently helping humanity from secret enclaves underground.
Liss’s knowledge of the malions endangers her family when Jaredsons Securities takes an interest in her accident. Few know the men of Jaredsons Securities, an international intelligence company specializing in missing persons cases, are actually the Vykhars, ancient malion enemies whose true purpose is the eradication of the malion race. The Vykhars will stop at nothing to discover if Liss is connected with the malions, and if they do, they will exploit her.
Perhaps more dangerous still are Liss’s growing feelings for Rion, a strong-willed malion scarred by his encounters with Vykhars and carrying a secret that could destroy their relationship. But Liss has a secret and scars of her own, and Rion’s fiercely protective nature threatens to tear them back open.
Can this pair of unlikely lovers survive the dangers of the Vykhars? And can their love survive their own misconceptions?

The Malion Novels
Although I'm not releasing any specific details about the upcoming books in this series, I know exactly how many there will be and what will happen in the main plot. To be fair, I'll at least give you the titles, and my pitch for the first two books. The dates and other such information I'll just have to keep secret until I know the release dates. Sorry, it would ruin the surprise!
1. Beneath the Surface - After being rescued from a deadly car crash, Melissa "Liss" Lawrence is pursued by her half-human
savior, Rion, a young Malion healer, who is wanted for murder.
1.5. The Deep End of Forever - a novella of Charlotte's introduction to the malions.
2. Beyond the Borders
3. Into the Abyss
4. Rise Above
I've also promised many of my family and friends the prequel, and by writing it here, I'm promising you, too! It will be titled Upon the Threshold, and told from a very special character's perspective--I'm keeping that detail under wraps, but it's definitely not Rion's. There will also be one novel telling Ramses and Rosensha's (Rion and Rasadian's parents) love story I've tentatively named Drowning in Us.
Stay in touch!
