Irish Mist
For Kasey MacGrath, success means everything and too much is never enough. But when a distant relative is killed, Kasey travels to a land he’s long forgotten, and discovers in the mists of the Irish countryside the entrancing woman named Delaney Ballagh, who mysteriously haunts his mind and his heart. In the village of Talamh an Oir, simplicity is the order of the day, but something mythical and unfathomable terrorizes both the community and the beautiful woman he wants to protect.
For Kasey to help free them from evil, he must open himself to possibilities he's never considered. But can he truly believe in the magical gift Delaney possesses and a way of life he’s shunned—both of which promise to be the key to his personal salvation? Will he trust the bond he's formed with the woman who stepped out of his dreams and into his arms, or will he lose everything in a single mistake?

Echoes
One day Tess Carson gets the call she's always feared. Her sister has vanished.
And so Tess rushes to a small town in California to look for answers. While the police follow evidence that connects her sister to a brutal murder, Tess is drawn into a danger that seems to reach back to the town's tortured past. Two enigmatic brothers offer Tess their help but the more she learns, the more they draw her in, the more she realizes that one of them is responsible for her sister’s disappearance. But which one? As Tess searches for clues about her sister, she begins to experience strange and terrifying visions. Not simply hallucinations,they are flashbacks to a past life where Tess relives the heartbreak of another woman—one who is also torn by violence and love. Tess can’t deny the connection she feels to this woman, nor can she deny the sense that history is bent on repeating. Two men. Two brothers. One woman. A deadly combination.
As the echoes of a long forgotten tragedy reverberate through her life, Tess realizes she must face her deepest fears before she can escape the terrifying cycle of vengeance and at last find the love denied her in a time gone by.
"Wow, right out of the blue and just when you least it expect it, a knock-out novel of romantic suspense. From the first page to the last, author Erin Quinn deftly juggles two intertwining stories, one taking place in the present day and another more than 150 years earlier, delivering nothing less than a fascinating read.... ECHOES is so far above the general run of romantic suspense, that I unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre." ~ All About Romance
"Echoes is one terrific story which will hook you immediately and keep you spellbound as you travel through time. Rich in mystery and romance, a cast of fascinating, unforgettable characters, outstanding narrative, and a love through time, this book is worth the money." ~ Affaire de Coeur Magazine
"Secrets, peril and eerie revelations make this debut paranormal thriller stimulating reading. Those who love the parallel story technique will thoroughly enjoy watching this two-tiered story unfold." ~ Romantic Times

A Shiver at Twilight
Destiny brings them together, but ghosts of the past try to tear them apart . . .
When Carly Ryan answers her friend's SOS on Halloween, she has no idea she'll end up stranded in a haunted house. But circumstances conspire against Carly and her rescue mission soon becomes a night of terror. Only the appearance of JD Dover helps her fight off the ghosts that lurk in every corner. Sexy, capable and undaunted, JD is more than happy to be Carly's knight in shining armor. Despite the creaking walls and eerie footsteps, despite the inexplicable ghostly happenings, Carly and JD can’t fight the attraction that consumes them and the passion that burns in their blood. Their coming together feels fated, but is it destiny or something more sinister that has drawn them to this haunted house? As they explore the attraction flaring between them, they fight to stay alive—but neither can guess the identity of the enemy they face or the lengths to which that enemy will go to cover up its sins.
"Erin Quinn delivers no matter what she writes it draws you into the story. Her characters are rich and complex even for a short story she takes the time to set an eerie mood and build up some sexual tension to on top of it. The end is a revelation and leaves you satisfied. Erin Quinn Never Disappoints." ~ Lynnet Shannan, Amazon Reader and Verified Purchase
"This little short story was a winner from beginning to end. A light, paranormal horror romance...this book had the feel of some of the early works of the big names in this genre such as King and Koontz. I felt that the romantic aspect was very well done with just the right amount of teasing between the two protagonists; you are drawn right into their needs and desires as well as being drawn into the horror which envelops them. A really good and creepy read, I recommend it to anyone who loves this genre as well as those who are simply testing the waters. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars...it's a great, quick read!" ~ POIA, Amazon Reader and Verified Purchase
