Isabelle has life right where she wants it after recovering from heartbreak and deceit—until she meets Death's right-hand man one fateful night, and she is sent spiraling into a life which is beyond her wildest imaginings.

She’s thrust quickly into the most secretive inner-workings of Death itself, as well as an otherworldly dominion of ancient Celtic magic.And now beings, that we were taught as children were only fictional creations of wildly whimsical minds, are edging their way into her world as well.

She yearns for the unmistakable simplicity of her old life; this one is full of dangers, unanswered questions and cryptic dreams.

And whispers, haunting whispers in her mind that send shivers through her…but in the most agreeable way.

After one particularly anomalous dream in which she learns of the Nine While Nine Legacy, things get truly precarious.

Now someone sees her as a risk…and wants to eliminate her.

Fortunately, she falls under the protection of her guardian—unless she leaves his territory—which is the one thing she wants the most…and wants the least.

No Time to Cry is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental
