It is 1865 in New York City as fourteen-year-old Annika Svensson inks her mamma’s death date into the family Bible. As she looks around her sparsely furnished live-in maid quarters and contemplates her future, her employer’s husband, Walter Brown, creeps into her room under the cover of darkness and rapes her. When Annika realizes she is pregnant, she is seemingly left without options until she writes to her mamma’s cousin, Noak, and his wife, Kjerstin, for help. After she confronts Brown and resigns, Noak arrives to accompany Annika by train and steamboat to Stillwater, Minnesota, where they are met by Noak’s neighbor, Oscar. When Annika reveals she is with child, Noak and Kjerstin urge her to consider marriage. After Annika rejects Oscar’s attempts to woo her and he leaves town, she gives birth to a son. But when a letter brings news of Brown’s death and his wife’s invitation for her to return, Annika embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads her to God and ultimately into the arms of the one who unconditionally loves her. Annika Alone is the historical tale of a teen servant’s determined quest to escape her dark past in New York City and carve out a new beginning in Minnesota.

What if you weren't really human?The near future. Southern California. A drunk-driving accident. A mother killed. The daughter, Annika, a high schooler declared to have permanent brain damage. A hole in her life as well as in her mind. Not only did the accident take her mother, it also completely robbed her of all memories prior. Barely able to cope with the already-stressful demands expected of a healthy teenager at Los Perditos High School, life is all the more demanding still--dealing with debilitating headaches and a still-unreliable memory. With no friends, daily bullying, and a dim view of her by teachers, Annika's world still seems to be falling apart. Then on one of these troubled days, Annika finds that there was more to her surviving the accident than otherwise imaginable. The girl must live with this secret or lose her freedom forever. However, there are also those who have undergone the same medical process. With their help, Annika will persevere. Or lose her freedom. And perhaps her life.

Wollie Shelley, the plucky amateur sleuth Kirkus Reviews called “funny, brave, smart, and altogether the fetchingest crime heroine since the early Stephanie Plum,” returns to face suspect lovers and unlovable suspects in this hilarious sequel to Dating Dead Men. Wollie Shelley is a greeting card artist struggling to keep afloat financially and to pursue—despite a series of recent disasters—the search for the love of her life. She reluctantly agrees to be a contestant on the reality television show Biological Clock. The show’s premise: Six eligible singles date each other, and the audience votes on which couple would make the best parents. Alas, Wollie isn’t having much luck finding a man she’d like to date “off the air,” much less father her child. As her own biological clock ticks away, Wollie gets caught up in a much more pressing demand on her time. Her friend Annika has vanished into thin air, and Wollie is convinced that she’s in grave danger. When Wollie reports the disappearance to the Los Angeles Police Department, however, the detective assigned to the case seems more interested in dating Wollie than in finding her friend. So Wollie springs into action—and lands right in the middle of an FBI investigation into an international drug cartel. She soon finds herself being stalked by an assortment of threatening characters, including her fellow television contestants, who will stop at nothing to beat the clock. With Dating Is Murder, Kozak delivers another sparkling treasure, a laugh-out-loud-funny, literate mystery for readers of Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton and for Kozak’s own growing legion of fans.

Written as a sequel to In the Service of the King, Daughters of The Colder Ocean continues the adventures of The Sea King and his magical lineage of The Tuatha De Danann, a powerful and magical race of healers who settled in Ireland, then suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Torn between two forces; to save the oceans or to save humanity, the Sea King must join forces with either Annika Temple or the queen of the Rusalki. Annika Temple found herself numb with shock after the police showed up at her door to inform her of the plane that crashed into the ocean on its way to Russia, leaving no survivors. Losing her entire family, she found herself alone on the family farm, struggling to function until she found herself pulled into a life of mystery and intrigue, and that she was chosen to help save the entire human race from annihilation. Learning to find her strength and courage, she is confronted by Queen Dannika, queen of the Rusalki, who has devised a plan to stop humans from polluting the oceans. Queen Dannika’s plan consisted of annihilating all humans due to seeing many of her Rusalki become terribly ill from the pollution in the oceans, and finding thousands of sharks suffering horrific and painful deaths after their fins were removed. Although, on opposing sides, both Queen Dannika's mission to save the ocean and all sea life, and Annika's mission to save all of humanity needed help from The Sea King and his family of healers, whose underwater kingdom is also threatened with the ravages of pollution.

After two centuries as an immortal pirate, Duke Proctor figures he’s experienced pretty much everything. Which is exactly when he finds himself held at gunpoint...by a mermaid. But the exquisitely lush blonde—whose eyes are deeper than the sea—is here for a reason. Someone has stolen from her and she’s certain Duke is behind it. Annika Mare knows for a fact that the Sea Dog’s crew has her comb. In the wrong hands, it places Annika under the control of whoever wields it. But the comb has been taken—and working with this unbelievably sexy human pirate to recover it poses an entirely different kind of threat. Now these two immortals must find the thief, and fast. But there are other forces at work, bigger than Duke or Annika could possibly know. And a powerful artifact in the hands of evil isn’t nearly as dangerous as the sizzlingly-hot attraction that could engulf them both...
