For university librarian Emma Merrigan, the world has provided a comfortable routine: Her job. Her quiet home. Her life. Even the death of her beloved father changed little, and that's just fine by her. But that was before Emma found a terrified young woman hiding in the library. First, the nightmares of her childhood man an unwelcome return. Then, her long-dead mother reappeared with promises of magic and renewable youth with...of course...a price tag. Now, her life is about to become anything but routine. Sample here

Emma Merrigan can insert herself into any place or moment woven into the fabric of time. She can find anyone...anyone except the one person she's desperate to find. Emma Merrigan, who had been living the most ordinary of lives, has lost her troublesome mother: The mother she'd never known. The mother who'd opened the door to another reality. The mother whose body lies in a writhing coma while her mind fights a battle against despair and darkness. And when--not if, but when Emma's mother loses that battle, she will be transformed into Emma's worst enemy. The clock is ticking, and it's up to Emma to set her mother free. Sample here

Emma Merrigan has come to terms with her powers. So far, the benefits have been well-worth the price, but she remains an amateur in a realm of professionals. She's been given her first formal "assignment" and she's about to learn hard lessons as she tries to help a family that seems trapped in a generational cycle of misery. Walking a razor-thin line between guidance and interference, Emma confronts cosmic calamity and a devastating choice between saving the future and sacrificing the past. Sample here

As if chasing curses through time wasn't stressful enough, Emma Merrigan's ordinary life has been upended by a budget-cutting university administration. She's nearing the end of her rope when her mother suggests they take a Caribbean cruise together. Emma suspects it will be a disaster -- they're too much alike, except where they're much too different, to be friends -- but convinces herself that nothing can be worse than working two jobs, one by day, the other by night. In the end, it's not her mother, it's her curse-hunting vocation that ruins her vacation and threatens to leave her trapped in the shadows of a tropical paradise. Sample here
