Come Back and Haunt Me
Some relationships don’t die—even when one of you does.
Veka, a twenty-six-year-old vet technician, is searching for the ultimate love and terrified of finding it. When Brady walks into the animal shelter with his sister’s dog, something electric passes between them. It’s instant, magnetic, impossible to ignore—and it changes everything.
They’re total opposites. He’s spontaneous; she’s a planner. He drifts from job to job; she’s steady and dependable. Brady’s restless ways color her world with joy, and his charm is irresistible—but so is the darkness he carries. And when a tragic accident takes Brady away, Veka’s world shatters. He begins to appear in her dreams, pleading for help from beyond the veil.
Now Veka must decide: Will she risk her future for a love that refuses to die?
Come Back and Haunt Me is a soul-stirring love story about the lies we tell ourselves, the truths that set us free, and the bond that even death can’t break.
For readers who love Just Like Heaven, The Dead Romantics, Hell Bent, and books by Alice Hoffman and Rachel Harrison.

The Jovian Universe Series
1 They Will Be Coming for Us
In Book 1 of The Jovian Duology, Svetlana Peterman has met her soul mate in Andrew Jovian, a young astronomer who works for Starbright International, the aerospace company his wealthy parents own. Once married, they make a home in Kirksberg, Pennsylvania, a small town famous for a UFO sighting that occurred in the 1960s. Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew’s family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way.
Preoccupied with only two things—the night sky and carrying on their family lineage—the Jovians lack social skills and often pry into Svetlana’s personal life. Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew’s eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind. Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway.
But that’s the least of her worries when she discovers the Jovians have a monumental secret that will change her fate (and that of her child’s) forever—a secret so powerful, it could alter the course of mankind.
2 Jovian Son
Jovian Son is the nail-biting sequel to They Will Be Coming for Us.
It has been ten years since Svetlana sought refuge for herself and her child in an obscure town in Russia. Ten years since she fought to keep Evander from the Jovians, her unrelenting in-laws who harbor secret plans for both Earth and the human race.
Like any good mother, Sveta has carefully watched over her son while trying to provide a normal life amid extraordinary circumstances. There is nothing normal about Evander.
In ten years he has grown into the powerful body and advanced intellect of an adult. He is well-liked by all who know him, charismatic, genuinely kind, attractive—he could become the world leader the Jovians want him to be.
Ten years ago, the family let Svetlana and Evander slip away. But Evander is the key to the Jovian prophecy, and once they discover that he has matured, they will use him to build the new future for the Earth they desire.
3 Bright Blue Planet
In Book 3, Bright Blue Planet for the first time takes readers behind the scenes of the otherworldly Jovian family, revealing some of their most startling secrets.
Former three-term President of the United States, Evander Peterman, does his best to uphold the promise he made his mother, Svetlana, to protect ordinary humans from the stronger, more-intelligent race of clones the powerful Jovian family has created.
Fran Vasquez, former FBI agent and current head of the Jovians’ security squad at Starbright International, not only works with clones and hybrids but recently hired his young, struggling son, who immediately creates tension between members of the squad.
Meanwhile, Caroline, matriarch of the Jovian family, may be at odds with her husband, Edmund, who abruptly left Earth for unknown reasons. She doesn’t seem to care that the humans and clones aren't getting along, and suggests something much more menacing looms on Earth’s horizon.
4 The Moon Children
5 The Cold Light of Fate
This is the series finale.
Svetlana has sacrificed everything to bring her granddaughter, Natasha, back to Jovian Earth. But as soon as she arrives, her daughter, Evan, reasserts an impossible claim—that she is the Lost Sister, the prophesied savior who alone can prevent the planet’s destruction. Svetlana wants nothing more than to leave this world behind, but destiny has other plans.
A relentless terror looms: the Moon Children, an extraterrestrial entity, threatens to make Jovian Earth uninhabitable. At the same time, the Jovian Queen is dying, and her second-in-command, Miranda, is prepared to use force—and unthinkable act among the peaceful Jovians—to seize control and set a violent course for the future.
With tensions rising and time running out, humans, clones, and Jovians must put aside their differences and unite against the coming dystopian storm. But the battle for survival will take more than a unified front. The unforeseen, too, has a part to play.
In this epic series finale, the world teeters on the edge of destruction. Can Svetlana accept Evan’s truth before it’s too late? And the cold light of fate shines upon them all, who will rise and who will fall?
Book 4: The attack has begun.
While Earth’s inhabitants struggle with a new world order in which powerful aliens reign behind the scenes, deadly gas clouds begin to plague the planet, claiming the lives of clones and threatening all of humanity. Only the Jovians know what is to blame: a malevolent extraterrestrial like none mankind has ever seen.
Amid this turmoil, Caroline (Queen Jovian) privately begins to falter, her inexplicable weakness unsettling her closest advisors. Meanwhile, her grandson, Evander, driven by a desperate quest that leads to the stars, continues to age at an alarming rate, a consequence of cosmic forces beyond his comprehension.
As chaos escalates and time slips away, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance. Can humanity muster the courage and ingenuity to confront an adversary that threatens the fabric of life itself?
In this riveting sci-fi tale of intrigue, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unearthed, and the ultimate battle for survival will unfold against a backdrop of otherworldly proportion. Prepare to embark on a journey where destiny hinges on the bravery of a few, and the mysteries of the universe await revelation.

Book 1 in the Angel of Death series

The answer lies in a past he no longer remembers.
It is only when random forces break him out of this perpetual darkness that he can begin to know the devastating truth, and what it means for his future.
