A Darkly Enchanted Artifact. A Passion to Outlast the Centuries. Solaus had but one wish of the medallion: to save his dying bride.

Flung from Ancient Persia into immortality, Solaus has only the memory that he did not save his true loveâ€”and nothing more as time begins to pass. Eager for a fresh start, New York City photographer, Kaitlin Sommers accepts a rare assignment on a deserted island fortress off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. Surrounded by the shadowy underworld of illegal treasure smuggling, Kaitlin finds herself in the arms of man who seems to spring directly from dreams of her pastâ€”a man Fate threatens to tear her away from a second time.

After a year-long hiatus, public relations extraordinaire Morgan Price is ready to resume her high-profile job resurrecting musicians fallen from grace.

Reviews and Other Information: "Angela Steed has crafted a shining gem of a contemporary romance novel with characters so believable they could have stepped off the pages at any moment and joined me for a cup of coffee." Kimberly Adkins Author of THE MEDALLION OF SOLAUS "1080 Kiss is anything but chilly. Morgan and Vince are very realistic characters with problems and pain in their pasts. The story is smooth and refreshing with dialogue that is smart and snappy. The emotions throughout the story are raw and vivid bringing the reader closer to the characters. Ms. Steed's first novel is very well done." Bonnie Petros Coffee Time Romance "I loved this book! I have never read Ms. Angela Steed before, but I will definitely look for her work. This contemporary romance was sensual, but not erotic. It was set in beautiful settings, which were wonderfully pictured for us. And the title-1080 Kiss? I'll let you read the book to see what that is all about!" Brenda Talley The Romance Studio

Love can be so... unexpected. In the spring of 1935, understated beauty Eva Edwards is widowed. A blessing to be sure.

Born of wealth, veterinarian Tate Prescott Brown has come to the dust of Saskatchewan's rural Qu'Appelle District to find independence and take possession of his farm-Eva's farm. Now, in an effort to solve a legal misunderstanding, Tate faces a sacrifice and struggle of his own: to do what he thinks is right by Eva ... or what's right for his heart.

Stunning older woman. Mysterious younger man. A garden of infinite possibilities . The terms of fifty-year-old Lily McVay's divorce settlement are quirky at best: live in her ex-husband's ancestral mausoleum of a house, restore her dead ex-mother-in-law's renowned garden, and host the small Gulf Coast town's overblown annual soiree. Lily needs help in the worst way. Aided and abetted by her "I'll help bury the body, no questions asked" friends, an octogenarian neighbor with a sixth sense, and a gardening genius named Will, Lily sets out to lay old ghosts to rest and grow a new life.
