The Slayer.
It’s been centuries since the first time my eyes have feasted on such a tempting sight.
She’s been expecting me just as much as I’ve anticipated her.
The coven doesn’t know our secret.
A curse, with a promising loophole, several centuries old sealed in blood.
Haunted time and again by her imminent, unforeseen death, her soul continues to call to me from beyond the grave.
Beckoning me closer, she tempts me to play life’s twisted game with her – One. More. Damned. Time.
The only way to keep her safe in her next life is to stay away.

In a dystopian 2025, the world runs on slave labor. We— that is, I and the nameless, gifted man in chains I fell for right under Daddy’s nose — always knew we were on borrowed time.

The world has figured out that the two of us together are too dangerous to live. But our forbidden love started over a chemistry book. So maybe it’s time to figure out the formula to burn that world to the ground.
The third book in The Unchained dark dystopian forbidden romance series will see the main characters finally get their happily ever after. Books 1 and 2, Never Broken and Never Bound, must be read first!

Rose Robson has always been an outsider in her uncle’s family. Used as merely a pawn in her uncle’s political games, she was never taught the full extent of her magic abilities. Rose longs for a family that cherishes her, but fears that dream will forever be out of reach. Now faced with a marriage arranged by her uncle, Rose decides to accept her fate and make the best of the situation.
Nicholas Sharp has a duty as the oldest son to use whatever connections he can to strengthen his family’s position. Being the family’s least talented lightning mage made him a practical man, so his father’s plan to improve their relationship with the Robsons through Nicholas’s marriage doesn’t surprise him.
Yet, at a celebration for Luanna—the woman Nicholas is to wed—he is unexpectedly introduced to her cousin, the kind, elegant Rose. Impressed with Rose’s grace and charm, Nicholas takes a chance and asks to marry her instead.
But there’s far more at play than just a union between noble houses in a land teeming with monsters and magic. The rise of sinister powers risks destroying more than just alliances; it threatens the balance of their world. Will Rose and Nicholas overcome the rising darkness, or will they forever be doomed as pawns of fate?

Then, one night at a party, she meets Leo Hawthorn. He’s a new face to her—a handsome one, with a crooked smile and dark, all-seeing eyes. He knows why she feels fear one minute and sadness the next. Why she knows someone is anxious or angry or confused, even before they do.

The moment she sees the Tarot cards, she knows she’s entered a world that’s nothing like her own.

Love was never part of the plan. Millicent Layne has been hiding in plain sight, a delicate existence that is threatened by every look from dashing human carpenter Ellis Dacre. Against her very nature, Millie finds herself fighting her hidden fangs whenever her emotions spike. The most dangerous of all? Love. But love is a luxury not afforded to her kind. She is a Centarian, an exiled descendant of vampires from centuries past, and her survival depends on a loveless arranged marriage to the only noble Centarian she knows. With nobility behind her name, the risk of bloodletting tests that could expose her family would be a distant memory.
When her human brother goes missing along with Ellis’s werewolf best friend, the two journey across Valeria, a medieval kingdom with a touch of magic, where humans live side by side with the descendants of werewolves and elves. In the desperate search for their loved ones, they uncover a conspiracy poised to eradicate Millie’s people forever. As the autumn days roll on, every cozy inn, toasty tavern, and starry night at sea with Ellis chips away Millie’s secret and her heart—and as her attraction to Ellis grows, so does the knife’s-edge dance between keeping her secret and honoring her heart.
Read with the comfort of a happily ever after guarantee. How can this be? No spoilers! You’ll have to follow along for the Kickstarter release of Fangs Divide Us, book 1 of the Season of Souls romantasy quartet!

He was the last person I believed I’d ever see again.
The man who took the best of my heart only to shatter it in the end, leaving me to pick up the pieces.
But when my world crumbled beneath me, he was the only one I wanted by my side.
I had every right to resent Zach Bryant. He left me and my son in the most excruciating way. I mourned his departure. I watched my son waiting for him by the window.
There was no way I could ever trust him again.
Then my life fell apart even more. My past came back to haunt me, and my son’s future was at risk. Just when everything seemed to be crumbling, Zach returned. Ready to reclaim me and my boy.
My heart told me to forgive him. My head still remembered the pain. And it was impossible to keep my distance.
I just didn’t know if I could survive another “goodbye.”
ZACH
Haley was the only woman I’d ever loved. Her boy was the kid I wanted to call “son.”
Leaving them behind was the hardest thing I’d ever done, but I needed to keep them safe.
Yet, all I did was break my family.
For years, I did what I had to do. I jumped from mission to mission, assignment to assignment, doing what was expected of me.
But when it really counted, I failed the people I loved the most.
So, I came home determined to win Haley back. I would stop at nothing to reclaim my woman and boy.
No cartel would keep us apart. No disease would prevent me from being with them.
Haley held my redemption in her hands, and I’d prove to her I was back to stay.
Because, in the end, she was the only place I’d ever truly called home.

Wesley Callahan has always been charming, charismatic, a little arrogant, and the life of every party.
A well-known lawyer in Bayport Cove, he considers himself to be an expert in the field. And never having seen the appeal of relationships, he considers himself to be an expert in the art of singledom. Still, he appreciates the company of women, and he’s never met one he couldn’t charm.
Well, except her…the one who manages to get under his skin like no one ever has before.
Morgan Hayes is witty, feisty, a little stubborn, and a spirited social butterfly.
As one of the leading interior designers in the area, her professional life is thriving. If only she could say the same for her dating life. She walks a thin line between wanting to believe in that all-consuming kind of love she’s only ever heard about and thinking it’s complete and utter nonsense. However, she’s still a woman with needs.
When she hits a dry spell, the last person she thought would end her drought is the egocentric lawyer who grates on her every damn nerve.
The only things Wes and Morgan have in common are a group of friends and their mutual disdain for one another. But a spontaneous hate-fueled hookup turns into something they never saw coming and spawns secret trysts, a drunken pact, and some playful sabotage.
When unwanted and unexpected feelings start to arise, sentiments begin to shift, and they realize there’s much more to their one-time foe than they ever cared to notice before.
They’re everything the other wants…if only they can get out of their own way.
