  • Given to the Wolf King

    Two kingdoms share a single curse. Can a princess and a king come together to save their people?

    Facing trial for a crime she didn’t commit. Aoife knows she must put her duty as the fae princess before her own freedom and leave Erainn- the home she so fiercely loves and wants to protect.

    A darkness is infecting both fae and human kingdoms alike. Only by accepting her father’s command to live with the Wolf King in Nairn can she discover what or who is causing it. Feeling suffocated and trapped on castle grounds, she looks for a way to escape, but finds herself developing feelings for the king and ultimately decides to stay.

    Cullen knows the alliance between Erainn and Nairn protects his people, but many say the fae cannot be trusted. With hatred growing between the two kingdoms, he does what he thinks is right and takes Aoife as his ward. While there is no hard evidence to prove her crime, he sees a darkness in her, but this doesn’t stop his budding feelings for the fae princess.

    Faced with plotting enemies, and the curse spreading. Can Cullen and Aoife set aside their differences to bring their kingdoms together in peace? Will they give in to their true feelings?

    Content Awareness. This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers’ romantic fantasy that addresses darker themes with a guaranteed HFN (Happy for Now). This story takes place in a fantasy world of the author’s making.

  • Bounty: Wanted Dead or Alive

    ebook, paperback & hardcover available!

    A delightfully dark paranormal romance with a kick!

    Lost Girl meets Supernatural in this slow burn, action packed tale of found family and destined love.

    The vampires want me dead. My ex wants to hire me and a demon just wants me. All I want is to find out who killed my father and make them pay.

    My gut tells me the vampires are responsible. But I need solid proof before I can take them on.

    I also need help from Abraxas, one of the hottest demons around. As we work together to dig up concrete evidence, I’m uncovering more than I bargained for–a family secret that changes everything. This secret has Abraxas begging me to leave town and hide. But I’m not afraid to stand up and fight.

    I won’t back down now.

    I know my sole focus should be on solving this case, but I can’t get this hot-as-sin off my mind. There’s also one little problem–convincing him that staying neutral to keep ‘the balance’ isn’t going to cut it this time.

    Will he see things my way? Or am I making the second biggest mistake with my heart?

Content Warning

My books often contain swear words, sometimes more and sometimes less. Along with this there may be scenes that are darker in nature and vary per book. Some of these allude to sexual assault, abuse, children getting hurt, etc. There is violence in all books in varying degrees. Characters are also flawed individuals who may have negative qualities. There are also open door sex scenes but the level of steam is different since each character and story is. I am still figuring out how to clearly write my content warnings so always feel free to contact me with any questions.
