Her subsequent novels, including The Motion and the Act, Affair in Rome, Mob Sisters, and Odalisque at the Spa, solidified her reputation as a prolific and versatile author.

In addition to her novels, Rejaunier has penned numerous nonfiction titles, exploring topics such as astrology, food allergies, and migraines. Her spiritual books, The Planes of Heaven series, delve into the realms of afterlife, eternity, and the eightfold path.
