I was born Jamie Murdock, an MC Princess in the Aces High Motorcycle Club. At seventeen, I was promised to one of the club members. At eighteen, I ran. I couldn’t quite shake the MC blood that rolled through my veins though. I formed Sierra High Evermore Motorcycle Club with other women who had enough of being underestimated, underappreciated, and underneath the men in our world. We prospered as a club, and I managed to hide behind my road name until my father’s club decided to expand into our area. That was when Sweet found me again. I’d been away for seven years, started a new life, and there he was still running just as hot and cold as he always had. Nothing had changed. Everything had changed. It was only a matter of time before our shared past began to look a lot more like a new future. Angel Girl is book one in the S.H.E.

More than a century has passed since Liliath crept into the empty sarcophagus of Saint Marguerite, fleeing the Fall of Ystara. But she emerges from her magical sleep still beautiful, looking no more than nineteen, and once again renews her single-minded quest to be united with her lover, Palleniel, the archangel of Ystara.

Four young people hold her interest: Simeon, a studious doctor-in-training; Henri, a dedicated fortune hunter; Agnez, a glory-seeking musketeer; and Dorotea, icon-maker and scholar of angelic magic. The four feel a strange kinship from the moment they meet but do not suspect their importance.
