**Note to readers - The Dandelions Series began as four books, Dandelions Never Die, Weeds Grow, To Protect the Innocent and June Flower. The problem was, I just couldn't stand to have Eric and Shelley grow old so quickly, and so I added in friends and co-workers and their exploits to keep the years from going by in a flash. This is what my instincts told me to do and since I usually follow my gut, it is what I did. Each book can be read in any order you choose. Even though all the books involve the Kino family in some way, they aren't necessarily considered sequels. The series is based on certain issues and traumas that I felt should be addressed in order to help women to feel empowered and to heal. I hope I have accomplished that goal and I'd love to hear from you.
Dandelions Never Die
Shelley Adams is lonely and frightened, a victim of rape, searching for empowerment. When she crosses paths with legendary martial arts master, Eric Kino, she believes her life is about to change drastically . . . and she's right.
GrandMaster Eric Kino has finally found love a decade after the death of his wife. Unfortunately, finding love brings terror and pain to the one he cares most about.
When an old enemy seeks revenge Shelley must dig deep to find enough courage to triumph over the evils of hatred. Will she be able to see through the haze of pain and blood to bring about her survival? Will she conquer her fears?
“We are only victims if we allow ourselves to be.”
Shelley wanted to scream in frustration the day Master Kino asked her to consider that statement. In the end she learns the truth.
