July in Houston, Texas, is far too hot for Frost Giants. But when a Valkyrie with an attitude shows up on Marti Keller's doorstep in the middle of summer, things take a turn for the polar. After Marti returned home from her ordeal at the hands of a notorious drug and human trafficker, she had expected her life to return to its normal placid state, maybe with the addition of a splash of romance. Instead, she finds she's hopped out of the frying pan and into the Arctic Circle, where she lands square in the middle of an ancient apocalyptic prophecy. Can a tiny tweak of the prophecy change the fate of the world? She'll find out, if she lives long enough to make it to Ragnorak.

Marti Keller was married to the man of her dreams and had a satisfying career as an emergency room nurse. But a soul-shattering tragedy turns her world upside down, leaving her desperately clinging to the one precious thing left in her life. After her search for a work-at-home job leads her to rediscover her long-suppressed ability to communicate with ghosts, she encounters Spam, the restless spirit of a murder victim, who begs her to help bring his killer to justice. She agrees, but her life quickly spirals out of control. Even as she fears she is descending into madness, a mysterious stranger named Quinn steps in to catch her fall. He always seems to turn up just in the nick of time. It's almost...preternatural. In fact, the more she discovers, the more she finds that everything she thinks she knows is wrong. And that the worst monsters are usually hidden in plain sight.

After a chance encounter with a devastatingly handsome knight, Lisabeth Stuart finds herself at the Dragon's Lair Pleasure Faire resort in Galveston.

Just when Lisabeth starts to think she's found exactly what she wants, old enemies and even older secrets threaten to take everything from her. Will finding true love save her...or kill her?
