Intrinsical

By Lani Woodland

 

The gene that allows the women in Yara’s family to see and communicate with spirits seems to have passed her over. Until the day she rescues a local hottie from an attacking spirit. Her act of heroism attracts the attention of the evil spirit, and she finds herself entrenched in the middle of a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening her own life as well as that of her friends.

The entire Yara Silva Trilogy is now available.

Pieces of Jade

Written by Lani Woodland and Melonie Piper

 

Sentenced to death by the man she loves . . .

 

Jade has no control over her future. She is the Emmía, the girl whose magical blood keeps her kingdom’s cursed soil fertile and ensures the survival of her people. But her destiny is ruined when pirates take her magical medallion, the loss of which is treasonous, and the prince she loves is honor-bound to sentence her to death.


Forced to flee to the pirate she hates . . .

 

Jade escapes from prison, but her sister is captured and will die in her place unless Jade returns with the medallion still on the pirates’ ship. In disguise, she joins the pirate crew where she finds herself drawn to the first officer, William, and his claims of the crown’s hidden brutality in the kingdom. But when Jade learns the fate of every Emmía before her, she is finally forced to choose her own destiny: die a martyr or live a rebel.

Out of Bounds

(The Pom Pom Periodicals Book 3)

Now Available!

 

At the end of her junior year, Jackie Sawyer ended her lifelong friendship with Jordan when her unrequited crush on him became too painful. And thanks to the district’s school boundary changes, Jackie is getting a fresh start as a senior. She’s ready to make new friends, get her first boyfriend, and put Jordan behind her. Only there’s one problem: Jordan is at her new high school. How can she move on when she sees him every day?

Jordan Knowles used to have it all. He was the starting quarterback with loads of money, Jackie for a best friend, and a gorgeous girlfriend, Anna. Then last year it all fell apart, and his family had to trade in their ritzy estate for a crappy apartment. The one bright spot of moving is the chance to go to a new school without Anna or Jackie. But on his first day, not only is he warming the bench, but he finds the two people he most wanted to avoid. Seeing Jackie reminds him that he really misses his best friend. More than he wants to admit.
