Romance

​

Jenna Laing has always been what the people of Crowmorne call 'a bit strange'. As a child, she was drawn to the spooky and the scary, and as an adult, she's no different.

When the mysterious and long abandoned Miller Mansion re-opens as a Halloween haunted house, Jenna buys tickets in a heartbeat, and invites a first date, hoping he'll share her love of horror and jumpscares.

Those hopes come crashing to the ground when he panics and runs off screaming, leaving her injured and in the hands of scare actor, Mason Miller.

Mason never expected to inherit a mansion, or the eye-watering bills that came along with it. His haunt is a quick way to make money, but Jenna might be the most unexpected surprise of all.

One look at her is all it takes to fall hard, then even harder when he discovers they share similar tastes both in and out of the bedroom.

And since Mason is an expert in designing experiences that make people feel something, this Halloween he'll guarantee Jenna finally has a man to match her freak.

Ryder Lockhart is not the kind of man you do casual with. He’s the one you marry.

After realizing she was sticking around for all the wrong reasons, Lola Lima leaves her fiancé and his manipulation tactics at the altar. The Latin dance instructor returns home to where her roots run deep and happen to tangle with her first love’s, leaving them both more determined than ever to heal, in more ways than one.

Resident ranch daddy, Ryder Lockhart, made a huge mistake marrying Lemmon, and the marriage grew as sour as her name suggests. But he can’t completely regret the decisions he made that kept him from running after his first love, Lola.

When their paths cross once more, they end up in a marriage of convenience neither of them could’ve anticipated. All while the ghosts of their past threaten to haunt them, Ryder and Lola fall in a deeper love than their adolescence would’ve allowed. And while their lives feel like a suspenseful telenovela, they learn to lean on their constants: each other.

Celene Vale didn’t plan to leave her curated Manhattan life for her family’s tacky old summer house. Renovations, a new façade—tangible fixes, even if she’s not handy. Once it’s sold, it’ll be out of her hair, and she can move on to what actually serves her. If only her family could be updated along with it.
​
Skye Florentine isn’t a stranger to letting her head drift into the clouds. Nature and managing a local art shop usually keep her grounded, but she’s restless for more. A chance encounter throws Celene into her world, and suddenly, even her daydreams can’t compete.
​
Can fake dating bring peace? Or will the boundaries blur beyond repair? Either way, neither of them is walking away unchanged.

Dayanara Moreno has had terrible luck lately. So of course on her way to her first day at a new tattoo shop she nearly gets in a car accident. Leaving a trail of profanities behind her, she manages to make it on time, happy to have seemingly changed her own luck. Until the man she just told to go to hell seven different ways is introduced as her new boss.

Silas Michele has a low tolerance for bullsh*t in his shop. So the moment he realizes who his charity hire is, he informs her that she won’t be working as a tattoo artist at Michele’s Ink Parlor BKLYN.

But no favor goes unpunished, and his cousin demands he pull through for her best friend. So Silas devises a plan. If he can’t fire her, he’ll make her life hell and force her to quit. The only problem is, Daya has a few tricks of her own up her sleeve.

As they go toe-to-toe, the entire shop can see what Daya and Silas’ faux hatred masks: that their incendiary attraction is moments from exploding.

Between prank wars, meddling family members, and a “f*ck pool,” these two were doomed to fall from the start.

​

Lila

The summer before my senior year was supposed to be filled with exploring our new town and making friends.

Instead, a tragic car crash took both of my parents. And now the state is threatening to take my seven-year-old twin siblings, too.

I have six months to prove I can keep it together. There’s no space in my world for distractions.

Especially not in the form of Kamden Stryker. Hockey captain. Campus legend. Dangerously charming.

But Kam doesn’t just see me. He shows up. With patient smiles, gentle persistence, and a way of making the twins laugh like they used to.

I can’t afford to fall for him. And yet, when he looks at me like I’m not just surviving, but shining...for the first time in months, the storm inside me begins to still.

Kam

Being the son of an NHL legend means my future has never been mine. Play for Dad’s team. Sign with Dad’s agency. Live Dad’s dream.

Then Lila Sullivan crashes into my life. Late to class, guarded in her silence, and carrying the kind of grief most people would never recover from.

She calls me Trouble. I call her Sunshine.

She doesn’t see it yet, but she’s the strongest person I know.

I’ll walk with her through every storm until the day her eyes look cloudless again.

And maybe, just maybe, her eyes will be looking at me.

Blurb is coming soon.

Fantasy

​

​

Every few hundred years, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are born into human bodies to fight in a battle. In their past lives, they have always died. When they finally win, they trigger the end of the world. The Deceivers—powerful shapeshifting demons who embody the Seven Deadly Sins—have roamed Earth since the beginning of time.
​
The Deceivers are hellbent on making the Four Horsemen fall to change the outcome of Armageddon. If the Horsemen win their war without falling, Heaven reigns in the Final Battle of Armageddon, but if the Horsemen fall, Hell reigns eternal.
​
These are the truths that newfound friends, Venatrix, Orion, Corvun, and Jayren face. As students in a academy dedicated to angels—unbeknownst to humans—good grades and internship essays are the least of their concerns. Orion—the son of an angel and demon—is powerful and dangerous, but not strong enough to protect himself from the terrors of his home life. When Ventrix quickly learns that Orion is abused by his shapeshifting demon father, she vows to help Orion banish his father back to hell.
​
Meanwhile, Corvun and Jayren become tangled in a blacklisted organization of immortal assassins with no easy way out. There, they make ties with the Angel of Death and help her hide from the Deceiver hunting her, in hopes that she might be the key to unlocking their true potential.
​
In order to survive, the four friends will have to come to terms with their heritage, power, and the balance of good and evil. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.

​

In Seelieland, the Fae demand a Tithe. They did not count on a mother's fury - or a Merman's vow.

Sixteen-year-old Eleanor Neycur was meant to chart her own course. A final year of school, a future at sea, and a life beyond the limitations of her coastal village. But when the Seelie Court revives its ancient Tithe and claims her without warning. Eleanor is torn from everything she knows and thrown into a glittering world built on control, secrets and servitude.

Back home, Helena Neycur's world shatters. She has spent her life drawing a Circle around those she loves, and protecting her daughter at any cost. Now, she must fights against a kingdom that sees humans as chattel- and she will not do it alone. Beneath the ocean waves, Lance, the Merman Helena once saved and now loves, is bound by the laws of the sea. But for Eleanor, he will test every boundary of his limited reach, even if it means risking war between land and sea.

As Eleanor uncovers the truths hidden behind the Tithe and Helena gathers allies from both coast and current, mother and daughter are set on a collision course with the very heart of Seelieland's power. And the Fae have never faced a storm like this one.

They took the wrong girl.

They underestimated the mother.

And the tide is turning.

​

An icy dread seeped into his bones. Vampires, spirits, dreamscapes… how was an ordinary thief like him supposed to handle this?

On a mission to find his sister, Arkan has to infiltrate a kidnappers’ hideout. As he uncovers a conspiracy led by his merciless brother, he must band together with a vampire hunter and an illusionist on the run.

As they fight to save a city from the undead, an even greater darkness casts its shadows over the reforged world of Ashandri. And during all this, a secret society involved in ruthless magical experiments hunts Arkan and his companions.

A found family of adventurers, high magic, monsters and political intrigue: Dawn of Silence is the beginning of a dark epic fantasy trilogy and the first novel set in the mysterious universe of Braythe.
