When she was just a child, Jade’s mother stole her away from her father and descended into the cultish world of The People of Joy. But her mother dies, and Jade is trapped for years of horrific treatment and abuse by members of the cult who now control her.
She finally escapes but has to live on the run, hoping the cult never finds her—because they’ll stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe. Living on the streets, and always on the move, Jade turns to art for salvation and for survival.
When a painting of his vanished wife surfaces, Sam Cochrane knows the artist has to lead him to the girl he’s never stopped searching for—his long-lost daughter Jade. He hires friend and ex-cop Luke Kelly to help find her. Soon Jade and her father are reunited, but as Luke and Jade grow closer and finally begin to feel safe, little do they know of the danger the news of her miraculous return puts her in…

Evil comes in all shapes and sizes, but seems more deadly when hidden in physical beauty.

Anson Poe hides behind a handsome face as he wreaks havoc upon those around him. Nothing touches his heart but power and greed; not the woman he married, or the four children they share.

Brendan Poe shares his father's stunning looks while trying to live down the shame. He does everything he can to stay out of Anson's world of crime until one hot Louisiana summer when he can no longer look away...

When the women who matter most in Brendan's world become pawns in Anson's need for revenge, he strikes back with a blinding rage, leaving Anson with the options of fight or flight.

Will he run, or will he stay.
Will he live to lie another day?

Like her mother and grandmother, Laurel Scanlon has the gift of second sight. Her day-to-day existence has left her unfulfilled in life and in love, but every night she welcomes the retreat into her dreams and the recurring image of her true love.

When her grandmother dies, Laurel is drawn back to her ancestral home, Mimosa Grove, in the heart of Louisiana bayou country. Here, Laurel’s ways are revered—like her grandmother’s before her—and the community asks her to help find a missing four-year-old girl.

But she’s in for a shock when the missing girl’s uncle, Justin Bouvier, turns out to be the man from her dream. When she learns that Justin has been dreaming of her too, they both realize they are part of something special. Together they face threats both seen and unseen.

Mimosa Grove was first published in 2004 under the name Dinah McCall.
