Soulless Mates
The Heartless Souls Book 1
It's 1999 and the world is about to end, or so everyone has been saying. All I know is that here in the Pacific Northwest, my witch Judith and I—her feline familiar—can finally restore the broken vows of her past life. Sure, we're no longer in Europe, and the plague is no longer ravaging the continent, but things are still not easy for my Witch and me. Far from granting peace, the all-powerful Council is bloodstained and riddled with darkness.
Hidden from humans, monsters like us have to survive amidst the violence and unrest. This is not a world for lovers. This is not a world for dreamers. Each new mistake can be fatal. Only I know why Judith feels drawn to the wolf Ezra—only I know why their forbidden love must be rekindled. If only that traitor, Vittorio didn't show up to complicate things…
It doesn't matter. At the crossroads, I'll be waiting to make sure each one of them makes the right choice. No matter what it takes, no matter what it costs.

Bound by Her
Adria Fedorov doesn’t kneel—she commands.
Inheriting her father’s wealth and position within the Nine—a violent and secretive organization—she’s learned that in her world, trust is weakness and power is everything. But when a dangerous deal from her father’s past resurfaces, it delivers three men to her doorstep.
Bryson: Reckless, volatile, and too defiant for his own good.
Kaydon: Sharp-minded and arrogant, his smirk dares her to break him first.
Seth: Quiet and calculating—his obedience might just be her undoing.
Her task is simple: train them, mold them, and bend them to her will. But in this dangerous game of power and strategy, lines blur, and loyalty becomes a weapon. The cost of control is greater than she ever imagined, and the greatest threat isn’t losing it—it’s wanting to. For the first time, the woman who commands everything might lose the one thing she swore she’d never surrender—her heart.
Three men. One woman. No turning back.
With its complex characters, high tension, and a unique twist, Bound by Her will resonate with readers looking for a different kind of romance—one where the heroine doesn’t just claim her heart but her power as well. Buy now before the price changes.

Burning Heaven
Smoke and Ice Duology Book 1
Addie has a stalker. And not one of those hot ones from the romance novels. A real, murderous, and probably not-so-drool-worthy stalker. So when her best friend pushes her towards a private security company how could she say no? Especially when the owner of the company has dark hair, tattoos, and… oh no.
Natalia has an obsession. A lethal obsession in the form of blue eyes and freckles. Her line of work is dangerous, both her day job and her double life. She hides bullet wounds under finely pressed suits as she uses her security company as a cover for the less than savory work she does for the mafia. When Addie bursts into her life with a stalker whose modus operandi matches that of a serial killer she’s searching for, it is all too easy of an excuse to fall for her deadly obsession.

Scars Like Wings
The Crystal Dragon Duet Book One
When I was little, Mom would tell it to me like a fairytale, a story that couldn't be real. Little did I know how real the monsters were. And I'm not talking about the dragons.
When her mother was murdered, Byrd Pierce's world shattered. She lost so much, so young and she feared she'd never be able to recover. Years later, Byrd had not only picked up the pieces, but had also mended them with gold. She has a job at a living magical library, a witch and a mermaid for best friends, and a closet with clothing that not only flatter her plus-size body, but also make her look hot AF.
When Quinn Garcia literally falls head over heels for her, Byrd thinks she's finally found her "okay" at last. But when Quinn compliments a back tattoo only she can see -one she doesn't actually have, at that- everything shifts. While trying to research the mysterious tattoo, Byrd finds a book that only she can open, containing one single sentence written in her mother's handwriting: Are you ready to know the truth, Baby Byrd?
Suddenly, the mysteries surface and threated to drown Byrd. Nothing from her friends to her past to Quinn are what they have always seemed. The further she dives, however, the more one solitary idea comes clear: her mother did everything to keep her safe. But at what cost?
