A Vampire's Girl: Paranormal Vampire Romance (JJ Book 2)
by Maggie Tideswell
Does the police have protocols for dealing with a vampire? Apparently not, for they are unable to hold Zane. What no one knows is that he controls people with his mind. Now there is only one way to protect Sophia from him - the slayer will have to do his job.
After losing her baby, Sophia returned to her childhood home outside of the city to heal herself. Before he leaves on a three-month mission, Jared, her baby's father, secures Sophia's safety when he is not there to protect her. Despite the precautions, Zane manages to find her, alone and far from the city. She is in mortal danger, until the slayer comes to the rescue.
But vampires aren't real. A person behaving like one has to be delusional, right? As such, the slayer can't kill him as a vampire, unless he does something wrong.
With Jared out of the way, Sophia returns to her life in the city. Not surprisingly, Zane re-adjusts his plans. He makes Sophia believe he is the Zane she had fallen in love with again. What she doesn't realize, is that he has her firmly in his thrall - she even agrees to 'marry' him before Jared is due to return from his mission.
But what exactly does Zane mean by the word marriage? What does he have in store for Sophia? Why isn't anyone doing anything to help her?

Find Her: A Time Error Paranormal Romance (Roxanne's Ghost Book 1)
by Maggie Tideswell
"It kept me going from page one until I finished the final page!" - Editorial Review
Dr. Ben Arnold is still grieving the death of his wife, Roxanne, when he advertised for a nanny for his four-year-old autistic daughter. On Friday the 13th, Jessica James arrives to interview for the position. Ben refuses to even consider her for the position - she is young and beautiful and he is not in the market for temptation. But the ancient housekeeper knows how to nudge the rude widower in the right direction and Jessica stays for dinner.
As she is about to leave, Ben's sister-in-law and his wife's identical twin sister arrive uninvited, and the other two oddball sisters a bit later. They claim that Roxanne isn't dead and that they intend to bring her home. As antidote against the sisters' presence, Ben invites Jessica to stay the weekend.
This is Jess' opportunity to prove to the handsome if grumpy widower that she is the perfect choice to care for his daughter, no matter how much he scowls. Almost immediately strange things start happening to Jess, the most disconcerting of which are visions of a woman from a different time.
Regardless of all the people in the house, something pushes Ben and Jess into each other's arms, even though he is not ready for romance. The twin, Millicent, has plans for Ben, and the nanny is in her way.
Find Her is a complex paranormal romance where time might not be as linear as you think.

She found her!
The oddball sisters were correct that Roxanne isn't dead!
But where she is, she can never come home from. Roxanne walked into a trap there is no escape from.

But Millicent, Ben's wife's twin, has a plan for Ben and his daughter, and she wasn't about to give up her dream.
Only one person stood in her way—Jess, the nanny.
