Eros Element

The Aether Psychics 

An ancient energy.
A daring expedition.
Two misfit scientists in a race against time…

Iris McTavish always wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps. But when his sudden death leaves her household on the brink of ruin, she may have to choose an unwanted marriage over her passion of archaeology. To save her house and prove her worth, she embarks on a mysterious and dangerous expedition…

As Iris and Edward seek out hidden clues, they’re hunted by clockwork spies and a shadowy society. During their dash across Europe, the misfit explorers must work together to crack a worldwide energy crisis and discover the truth if they want to stay alive.

Clockwork Phantom

The Aether Psychics 

Everyone wears a mask. But the deadliest secrets hide in plain sight.

Every spellbinding performance extracts a piece of actress Marie St. Jean’s soul. But trapped in Paris during a Prussian siege – and her mother’s theatre – she has no choice but to take the stage. Then a ghostly spirit promises to fix Marie’s affliction – for a price.

Marie’s other problem – her attraction to alluring violinist, Johann Bledsoe, a temptation she dares not explore, particularly as the phantom grows jealous.

Under the baleful eye of steam-powered ravens, murders and revelations from the past drive Marie and Johann closer to the truth of what really lurks below the stage, and what dangers hang over their heads. Their only hope could lie in exposing their darkest secrets—and surrendering to the Eros Element in a way that could push them to the edge of madness.

Aether Spirit

The Aether Psychics 

Forgetting her is impossible. Remembering him could kill her.

Left with partial amnesia after a steamcart accident, Claire McPhee tried lengthy treatment for the mental and emotional trauma. Now armed with her own training and medical degree, she helps others with combat-related neuroses hoping, she’ll someday—somehow—fill in her own blanks. Particularly the elusive memory of a man she once loved.

Something about the new medical chief triggers her painful, hypnosis-induced blocks, but he keeps pushing her away before she can shove through the barriers to determine why.

Chadwick Radcliffe has faced many challenges since assuming the position of medical chief at Fort Daniels, but facing his former love—and the knowledge that her memory of him could be deadly—pains him the most. While he’s had some preliminary success using the Eros Element, he’s all too aware its unintended effects could harm as much as heal.

With the Union on the cusp of caving in to the Confederacy’s demands, time becomes a precious commodity. Ghosts rise. The Element takes on a new, unpredictable aspect. And resurrected love could give Claire and Chadwick unexpected strength—if they have the courage to break the chains welded around them to seize it.

Aether Rising

The Aether Psychics 

The only place to hide could be behind the truth.

No one can lie to Louisa Cobb. It’s her gift. Her curse. Unfortunately, her stepfather forces her to use it to help him gain the upper hand in business. Comfortable in her luxurious lifestyle and high society position, she hasn’t minded. Until now. 

Louisa wants nothing to do with her newest assignment, Patrick O’Connell, the Irish tinkerer and scoundrel who stole a kiss—and her heart—years ago . Problem is, if she betrays her stepfather and sets Patrick free, she’ll be cut off without a penny to her name.

Patrick knows he is captured because he invented a device to stabilize and direct the mysterious Eros Element. It’s also why he can’t lie, especially while looking into Louisa’s sky-blue eyes. If he fails to recreate the device for Cobb, his closest friends’ happiness will be at risk.

Back in Boston, Patrick stalls for time while Louisa uncovers secrets of her tragic past. It forces the two of them to engage in a treacherous dance on the edge of love and danger. A tango where one wrong step could condemn them both to everlasting heartache—and unleash an unimaginably powerful force that could destroy their world.
