Sea Hunter
Book 4 of the Mortar & Pestle Series
Release Date March 16, 2023


On the turbulent high seas, an archeologist must protect a historic shipwreck from treasure hunters—not fall for one.
​

Zahra Corbyn
As the professor of antiquities, nothing snaps my cap more than treasure hunters and looters. They smash and grab and then are gone with the wind. And there are two after Sea Wraith. But fate is a funny thing. Thanks to an ancient Mortar & Pestle, not only am I in cahoots with one of them but he’s also fired up my heart, turning me into a khaki-wacky.
Captain Jack Alexander
I’ve been told women on a ship are unlucky, but this dame has the two pieces of the map I need to finally claim Sea Wraith. Now, I find myself in a lousy deal that makes me one-third partner with her and a known scalawag. It’s either that or bupkis. After all these years of chasing down my dream of finding the shipwreck, my obsession is cooling off and heating up toward a bird who’s way above my pay grade.
Can the two unlikely allies work together while safeguarding their hearts against the power of the Mortar & Pestle?
If you like Lara Croft and Indiana Jones, you’ll love Zahra Corbyn and Jack Alexander.

Shield-Mates Of Dar a Fantasy Romance Series ​

Kisa
Shield-Mates of Dar
Book Two
December 1, 2022
​
In a war between humans and shifters, sparks and fur fly…Until scales appear.

Princess Kisa, the middle daughter in the shifter nation of Dar, is often overlooked and underestimated. Always the devoted caregiver of family and country, she’s come to terms with her future as a Shield-Mate in a political marriage. Many, including Kisa, are surprised when her father names her as heir to his throne.
Kalman, once a privileged son of the former protectorate Sorota, is an outcast and man without a future. The people of Ruinae consider him a weak, self-indulgent man. Only his trusted servant knows the heart of the soldier beneath the veneer.
Forces are gathering against the two countries, and now dragons, long banished to the outland, have returned. Kisa and Kalman are charged by King Dar to find out how entrenched the dragons are with the enemy. Since a long-ago meeting, Kalman never forgot the spitfire Lynx-shifter. He’s no longer the boy she’d met, but a man. One determined to have her despite their differences. But Kisa can’t fall in love with the enemy. Can she? Would her people accept not only the son of Sorota but one whose family seeks retribution?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review
Such an excellent read! Great world-building and the characters were wonderful. I love the angst and banter between the hero and heroine. The heroine is kick ass and tough with a good heart. The hero is sexy and strong. The paranormal aspects, the magic and the shifters, were compelling and perfectly written. I would love to read more in this series!

Be swept into an epic fantasy romance packed with adventure, treachery, and magic.
Felice
Never show weakness. Never give away control. Never let anyone into your heart. These are the words I live by. After what they did to me—and what I did to them, my father came near to putting me down. A feral panther-shifter couldn’t be allowed to live. The extreme measures I took to regain control left different kinds of scars. Now here I am back in the human world. Not much has changed. Once again, while on a mission of diplomacy, I’m nearly killed. Only this time, it’s the man who was to be betrothed to my sister who’s saved my life. But in return, he’ll take my hard, fought for control.
Ayer
I’m a prince who only wants to be a soldier. But here I am, failing my duty once more. On my watch, the Darrian emissary, who also turns out to be Princess Felice, lies dying from an arrow. If we don’t save her, our countries will be at war. She’s fighting us. Says she can’t control her shift if we cauterize the wound. I know what needs to be done. It’s not supposed to be her, but her sister. Will she give me the Shield?

An enchanting tale of romance between two who were never meant to be together in a thrilling world of magic, war, treachery, and the sometimes-winding path love will take.

Amazon Review 5-Stars
What’s not to love?

Shifters, humans, war, intrigue combined with engaging characters in a fantasy land tied together in a love story. This is a fun and easy read surprising me that it has a deeper under plot. Though this book deals with some serious issues there were times I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Mystery and Romance with a Dash of Rock!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2021 Verified Purchase
The fast paced worlds of emergency medicine and the restaurant business provide a rich and exciting backdrop for DV Stone's quick-paced, heart-stopping, and super-satisfying story. The book follows a really interesting cast of fun and diverse characters as they work through complicated pasts to find love and career fulfillment. The musical references are a hoot; the mystery keeps you guessing; and the food descriptions will keep your mouth watering until the delivery guy arrives. Terrific blend of steamy but sweet romance and cozy mystery. Highly recommend!

I was touched by this note from a reader...
I just finished reading jazz house. It was well done! I was surprised by the little twist in Olivia, Aden, and Michael's family. That was a nice touch, it brought your story to the importance of family and not the expected boy meets girl, get married, end of story. What happens to Tito? Zach? And Molly? Next book? I also like how you used grandma's quotes to share the word of God but in a graceful way, not preached or stuffed down. It was well included in your story. Well done!! Thank you for sharing your gifts and writing so well. ~JB

Advanced Reader Copy review.

D.V. Stone has written a riveting story of one courageous woman finding the strength to stand up for herself and the obligation to protect others she has come to care deeply for, and the resourcefulness to overcome the many roadblocks that life and her poor decisions have thrown in front of her. Stone’s believable yet flawed characters drive the plot. The characters evoke strong emotions in readers right from page one. This reader found herself wanting to hug Jordan on one page and throttle her on the next.

Amazon Review
​The Mystery of High Pointe Tower is such a fun paranormal adventure. While it’s aimed at middle-grade readers, it’s suitable for YA and even adult readers, too. The characters and the witty banter move the plot as does the mystery. D.V. Stone has a talent for paranormal adventure stories and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot twists are a little predictable but will be appealing to middle-grade readers. Sam is a very relatable character to kids. This wholesome story is the perfect length with a pleasant ending. There’s room for a lot more adventures for Agent Sam Carter and friends and I, for one, can’t wait to read more. Highly recommend!
​​​Join the gang in the second Agent Sam Carter series. Sam's camping vacation is canceled. Strange happenings at the High Pointe Tower are going to take all his wits and skill to save the world from its latest threat. The convergence of the Dragon Aurora and volcanic eruption tears a hole between the dimensions trapping a paranormal creature on earthside. But as usual, nothing is as it first appears.
