Hyde ~ Jekyll ~ Strange Case
The Complete Hyde Series Box Set
“...my favorite series of the year...a perfect blend of what makes a book go down in history.”
— Ohhh My Shelves
Dark and light, good and evil—mankind’s universal struggle.
But what if you’re not a man? Or can never allow yourself to be kind? What about on those nights when you’re not quite human?
Two people bonded by a curse of heredity and the manipulation of an unknown entity. When the truth leaves them nothing to hold onto, they will be forced into a partnership neither expected…or wanted.
Because in life, who you trust is as important as who you are. And when you can't even trust yourself, sometimes the only person you can rely on is the last person on earth you should be falling for.
All three full-length novels are intended for adults because of very naughty language, biting sarcasm, and descriptive love scenes. They are not a retelling of the classic story. Not even close.
Second Bite
A second chance…
A second lifetime…
Can Daniel overcome two lifetimes of guilt and be the man Olivia needs? Or will both of them lose everything?

Contemporary Romance
Darker Water, Once and Forever #1
Some fairytales begin with a kiss…
Two people want the same thing--a commitment to nothing more than great sex in a bunch of different positions. Simple. Enjoyable. A win-win. Problem is, those two people have families and fears and pain that spill into every moment of their lives, control what they do and who they are. And if either Carson or Laney can't free themselves from the past, they'll both be pulled under by it.
Virtually Impossible, Once and Forever #2
Love before first sight…
Hayden and Andi need to wake up to understand how perfect they are...for each other. If they can't, any chance either of them have of finding a happily ever after will be virtually impossible.
Once and Forever is a series of standalone romances inspired by the themes of classic tales and legends. Because while fairytales aren’t real, love is.
Humorous Mystery
No Experience Required
a Summer Rains mystery
After leaving the hippie commune she grew up on, Summer Rains set a modest goal for herself: earn enough money to live a normal life in the real world.
Maybe she was aiming too high.
This novel is a fun comedic-mystery, similar in tone to the books of Janet Evanovich, Meg Cabot, and Stephanie Bond. Also available as an audiobook.
There will be more.
Much more. More in The Heights, Once and Forever, Summer Rains, a spin-off of the Hyde series, an as-of-now untitled YA paranormal series, and a billion more projects all impatiently waiting their turn. So stay in touch to find out what’s next.
Acknowledgments
To my Stewartists, readers, bloggers, and friends, including the magnificent Nadine Colling and Aestas Cross:
Last year was a very difficult one. I’m not sure I would’ve made it if I hadn’t had you at my back - encouraging, supporting, and nagging me. Thank you for making this series so much more than I ever thought it would be, for sharing Darker Water with others, and for allowing me to be a part of your lives.
To my incredible therapists/critique partners, Christina McKnight and Olivia Rivers: Your talent is only surpassed by your kindness. This book wouldn’t exist if not for you.
To Katy Regnery: When you first contacted me, I thought you were a little nuts. Now I know you’re a lot nuts, in all the best possible ways. Thank you for your advice, support, and friendship.
To my incredibly talented and patient graphic designer Amanda Simpson who puts up with way too much of my crazy: Sorry. :)
That apology goes out to my editors, Jen Blood, Chelle Olson, and Anja Pfister, too. I should probably warn you that my next project will be coming soon.
Oh, and Amanda? Make sure my room is ready.
A Note from the Author
Anyone who’s ever been to YouTube knows that good things rarely happen on a dare. This series is the exception.
You see, when I fall in love with my characters, I have a hard time saying goodbye until I’ve tortured them through at least a few books. But, one day, a close friend wondered aloud if I could ever just get to the damn happily-ever-after in only one book. Since I wasn’t sure myself, I decided to take that challenge, and Darker Water was born. It was so much fun that I decided to keep going, wrote seven more fairytale beginnings and plotted out stories to go with each.
So Once and Forever will be a series of at least seven standalone novels. Each story uses a theme or symbol from a fairytale, but only as a starting point.
Because while fairytales aren’t real, love is.
