Through A Glass Darkly - Released September 3, 2009 by Black Rose Writing.

Lily Wright is a doctoral student in psychology struggling to uncover the cause of her own serious depression. As the anxiety generated by her increasingly disturbing dreams and flashbacks convinces her she has repressed the memory of some traumatic event, she finds herself clinging to the one unexpected bright spot in her life – the intoxicating and debonair Dr. Gabriel Martin. Losing herself in their whirlwind romance, Lily is almost able to escape the depths of the psychological darkness that once nearly engulfed her. But when their budding relationship is threatened by an unknown foe, Gabriel’s mysterious behavior leads Lily to suspect that he is not who – or what – he appears to be; in fact, he may hold the answers to her own forgotten past.

Ashes for Beauty - Coming in Spring 2011 by Black Rose Writing.

Lily Wright knew everything would change the night she gave her blood to save Gabriel Martin's life.  Still, she wasn't prepared for all the complications loving a vampire would bring.  Now she is trying to balance the demands of her "normal" life as a doctoral student, daughter, and friend, while adjusting to the new normal - a boyfriend who is struggling to control his craving for her blood, a best friend who is more overprotective than ever now that he knows vampires really do exist, and - oh yeah - burgeoning psychic abilities that may end up being more deadly to her than the mysterious vampires who are out to kill Gabriel's sire, including anyone who might try to stand in their way.

In this continuation of the romance that began in Through A Glass Darkly, Lily and Gabriel fight to hang on to the beauty of their love, even as the world seems to be burning down around them.

And the only way I know to stay sane is to stay away from you.” And that was it, for the next moment I found myself standing in the hallway, the door to the apartment shut in my face. And that was all it took to set me free from the emotional abyss that had consumed me, and I banged on the door and c
