A monster trying to end a curse…

Ordus is King of the Dead Lands, the last Kraken of his bloodline, and the final hope to break a terrible curse that plagues his lands. He must find his destined bride, his soul mate, and marry her to save his kingdom.

His fated mate shouldn’t be a human, but something about her calls to him like no other creature ever has. He drags her to his island, kicking and screaming, begging to be returned to the mainland.

Ordus must convince her he’s not a monster to be feared, but her soul mate who will protect her from anything and anyone who means her harm.

Including his own people.

He’s a prince longing for freedom.
She’s a baker yearning for the ultimate love story.

Together, they’ll discover that sometimes the sweetest magic lies in unexpected places.

Rosalyn’s enchanted scones bring magic to every bite at The Sconery and Teashop. With a glitter-sneezing caticorn and a thriving business, all Rosalyn needs is a romance as sweet as her baking. When a mysterious Rune Elf strides into Moonshine Hollow, bringing secrets and devastating charm, her perfectly-measured life crumbles faster than a day-old scone.

Bjorn is no ordinary elf. A secret prince looking for an escape, he’s determined to forge his own path far from the expectations of his royal family. When he’s tasked with helping a wild unicorn herd suffering from chaotic magic, he’s relieved to focus on creatures instead of people. That is, until a certain insistently-friendly baker and her pet crash into his carefully guarded solitude.

As Rosalyn and Bjorn work together to uncover the source of the magical imbalance in horned creatures, sparks fly in more ways than one. Her warmth and charm start to melt his icy walls, but Bjorn’s secret could shatter their fragile connection. Rosalyn dreams of the kind of love bards sing about, but will this gruff and guarded prince sweep her off her feet before it’s too late?

Must Love Scones and Secrets is a spicy cozy fantasy romance full of enchanted pastries, mischievous caticorns, and a love story that will warm your heart. Each novel in the series can be read as a stand-alone.

Perfect for lovers of steamy fantasy rom-com, romantasy, and cozy fantasy romance with a dash of spice! Fans of Kimberly Lemming, Heather Fawcett, J Penner, and Cora Crane will devour this super cozy but very passionate tale of magic, romance, and redemption.

FROM THE DARKNESS, THEY WILL RISE.

Banished from the fae realm, the last surviving sirens cling to life in the underwater city of Salus, where death lurks at every turn. Mariana, heir to the siren throne, has spent her life preparing to protect her people against the fae, but when her sister, Astra, vanishes on a perilous mission, she faces an impossible choice: defy her mother’s command and risk everything to bring Astra home, or remain trapped in the darkness as her world fades away.

To save Astra, and the future of all sirens, Mariana must recover an ancient amulet capable of restoring their lost homeland, Sirenia, before it falls into the hands of the ruthless fae king. But before she can act, she is captured by Dax, a brooding fae warrior with secrets of his own, who is determined to drag her to the heart of the fae realm. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Mariana and Dax are drawn deeper into a dangerous web of fae politics, long-buried truths, and heartbreaking betrayal.

Stripped of her siren powers and thrust into a world of deadly lies, Mariana uncovers dark forces threatening not only her people, but the entire realm.

When the Wicked Sing dives into a world where sirens are threatened with extinction against their ruthless enemies, the fae.

• angst
• romantic tension
• lots of mutual pining
• found family
• medieval-ish road trip
• one Horse & one bed
• proximity out of necessity
• who did this to you?
• burn the world down for her

• a walking red flag & morally gray and possessive, jealous, territorial, and protective MMC whose secrets are as dark as the magic he wields.

A man with many secrets, a woman desperately fighting for independence, a mission that leads them and their company towards unknown mysteries they are desperate to unravel because the world could soon depend on it—literally.

What would you do if everything you knew was a lie? When you found out there was so much more to your world than you were taught?

I never expected that my parents’ failed attempt to arrange my marriage would lead me to leave the small town I’ve known my entire life.

What started as a journey to escape the law soon shattered my worldview and dismantled everything I believed to know. Suddenly, being hunted is only the smallest of my problems.

Not only am I on a chase for truth and unraveling mysteries, but I also need to navigate the minefield that is Dion. The soldier who rescued me has a nasty temper, and—for someone who loves to be in charge—he has extremely little impulse control. But if he thinks I would simply submit to his antics, he is wrong. Just because he and his men helped me in a difficult situation and possess more knowledge about hidden truths from the past, it doesn’t mean I simply submit and be the docile woman society expects me to be. I have no wish to bind myself to anyone, not to my father, not to some rich betrothed, or to an arrogant bastard, no matter how attractive he is.

“The Freedom You Seek” is the first installment in the “A Requiem for Fading Worlds” dark romantic fantasy series. The story centers on Nayana, an ordinary small-town woman with a rebellious streak who gets involved in a mission bigger than herself; and Dion, a flawed soldier with a bad temper and a massive ego who tries to leave his past behind. Together with Dion’s comrades, the two embark on a journey into the heart of history and soon find out that sometimes, someone has to step up to try to save everything.

The novel tells a story about unraveling mysteries, self-discovery, uncovering the truth, and maybe even saving the world, which actually might be easier than dealing with love.

Perfect for fans of character-driven dark romantic fantasy with a plot that starts small, but escalates over the course of the series. Full of slow burn, angst and romantic tension, mutual pining, found family, mysteries, magic, overcoming trauma, as well as finding your place in a world that seems already doomed. Lastly, this story is for you if you love a walking red flag— a morally gray and possessive male main character whose secrets are as dark as the magic he wields.
