The winds of fortune are fickle guides…and happiness or heartbreak may be the destination.

For Provincetown local Deo Camara, the only winds that have ever blown her way have been cold and lonely. Despite a decade of estrangement, however, Deo can’t turn her back on the call of blood, no matter how high the price in heartache. Dr. Nita Burgoyne has her own family secrets, a past so painful she starts a new life in hopes of leaving it behind. She has a rewarding new job and an historic sea captain’s house in need of renovation--all she needs to be content. Or so she thinks, until she hires Deo to head up the renovations. They have nothing in common except a shared legacy of betrayal by those they’d trusted the most, and an impossible attraction they would both prefer to ignore. Meanwhile, Nita’s new associate, Dr. Tory King, and her partner, Sheriff Reese Conlon, must cope with the aftermath of the winds of war and the approaching fury of a very real gathering storm.

All medevac helicopter pilot Jett McNally wants to do is fly and forget about the horror and heartbreak she left behind in the Middle East, but anesthesiologist Tristan Holmes has other plans. 

When Jett comes home from the war and destruction in the Middle East, flying and the adrenaline rush of a crisis are the only things that make her happy, and she volunteers to fly night call where all the action is whenever she can.  So maybe once in a while she takes a few chances.  Hey, that's life, right?  

Dr. Tristan Holmes is an expert at two things—high-risk anesthesia and pleasing women. Tristan gave up expecting anything other than a good time from the women in her life long time ago, and casual relationships are the perfect prescription for stress release.  She doesn’t do relationships, so she can’t quite understand why it bothers her when Jett makes it clear she doesn’t want one.  

High-stakes medical drama, life on the edge, and love in the fast lane—it's all just routine for Night Call.

"In a bold break with traditional romance, the mistress of lesbian fiction introduces us to the shadow world of leather and lace, and dominance and submission. In Shadowland, Radclyffe takes these seemingly singular lives and effortlessly intertwines them with our own until the characters are as much a part of our hearts and fantasies as...in any of her previous bestselling romances." --KatLyn, author of Storm Surge

Take three friends, add two ex-lovers and several new ones, then mix with more secrets than any of them know—and the result is a recipe for explosive rivalries and incendiary romance. 

Attorney Liz Ramsey thought she had everything—a devoted partner, a challenging job, and plans for a family in the making.  Unfortunately, her life takes a turn, and she ends up alone and in the kind of trouble she never dreamed of.  When she bumps into—literally— young surgeon Reilly Danvers during an appointment at the University Hospital, conversation leads to an offer of coffee, and in a moment of weakness, Liz accepts.  But there's no danger in that, right?  It's just coffee. 

Liz's two best friends offer all the support she needs, but they have secrets of their own.  Candace Lory is a high-powered commodities trader and swinging playgirl who meets her match when she hooks up with corporate attorney, Parker Jones.  Parker is as much a swinger as Candace but try as they might, the two can't seem to stop repeating their one-night stand. Brenda Beal writes best-selling erotic romance novels under a pseudonym even her closest friends don't know.  One of the only members of "the group" who didn't sleep with every available woman during college, Bren would rather fantasize about a perfect lover, especially if she's obedient and willing to do anything Bren orders.  A surprise birthday "trip" and a dashing dark-eyed submissive transform Bren's fantasies into reality and her dark secrets into delicious pleasures. 

Together the three friends struggle to heal their lonely hearts and broken dreams.
