Twins separated by dark secrets

A siren kidnapped from her domain

A prince cursed to bring doom to his kingdom

And a Fae bargain that can save or ruin them all

When Elyssa, a siren left to die on a hill due to her inability to summon wings, is kidnapped by the cursed prince of Sunshadow, she thinks her life is over. That is until she learns about her long-lost twin Amanda whom the prince Matier asks her help in saving. Elyssa has never been allowed to think for herself. Her only duty was to listen to the teachers at the Academy of Sirens, to never ask questions and to welcome the life that her father planned for her before he was killed.

Now Elyssa is given a choice: help the prince find his love and discover why the sisters’ parents separated them at birth, or stay on the hill and watch her Academy burn to ashes, along with her dream of freedom. But in order to help her twin, Elyssa has to visit the neighboring jungle kingdom of Hibizania first and make a bargain with the Fae king Iddylion. His presence ignites not only passion within her, but also awakens magic she never thought she could possess.

Held captive in the Palace of Darkness, Amanda has no way to escape unless she defies the unlawful ruler of Sunshadow. But to do so, she must make a desperate decision that will change her life forever. Only then will she be able to retrieve the missing symbol of Sunshadow, a black moon that can give her protection from Darkners. It is said to be in the land of the Snow Queen, where no mortal is allowed to set foot. If Amanda wants to stop the war brewing between wizards and the Fae, she must become the most fearsome creature of all.

This epic sequel to The Darkest Gift, is perfect for readers who enjoy dangerous and atmospheric magical worlds, addictive romance, sisterly bonds, and thrilling adventures.

Branded a traitor to Atlantis, Asherah Delmar—the goddess’s chosen—must flee through the Bermuda Triangle to the realm of Airelandia, a queendom lost to time and space. On her mission to recover the goddess’s next artifact before she’s forced to reveal the truth of what she is, she must risk every soul depending on her to succeed, and the one she’d burn the world to protect.

Dark forces move to exploit her bondmate, Draevyn Eliron—her greatest strength and deepest vulnerability. Queen Leanah offers sanctuary, but in a realm woven with illusion, even peace proves fleeting. Asherah soon discovers that the evil she thought she escaped has already taken root in Airelandia’s skies.

When vengeance comes for her, Asherah must wield her conviction and her fury, or watch the light of her world vanish with the Queendom itself.

The Vanished Queendom is the third book in The Heir of Atlantis series and is intended for readers 18+. It is recommended to start with The Veiled Heir (The Heir of Atlantis, Book One).

A demon is loose in the human world, and if it finds Locklyn’s twin sister, Haven, it won’t just kill her. It will steal her power and use it to destroy everything.
I’ve never met Haven, but that doesn’t matter. Finding her before the demon does is the only thing that matters. If I fail, Locklyn loses her sister, and the human and creature worlds may not survive what comes next.

Protecting Haven should be simple: keep her hidden, keep her alive, and don’t let her get under my skin. But she isn’t what I expected. She’s stronger than she looks and the more time I spend with her, the harder it becomes to remember she’s supposed to be a mission, not a temptation.

With the demon closing in and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Haven safe.

Even if it destroys me first.
The games are over. The kingdoms are falling. And chaos is ready to claim its queen.

Amid the chaos, Ellie and Zen finally begin preparing for their long-awaited wedding, but as always on the island, nothing goes quite according to plan.

Kim was born in Corbridge in Northumberland and still lives in this gorgeous corner of the world. Passionate about the area, Kim tends to set her work in the northeast, and why not considering the wealth of stunning scenery and the warm-hearted locals, both of which constantly give her ideas for future writing endeavours.

Kim’s debut Love Lindisfarne was released October 2023 and from its first cover release on social media gained momentum, taking Kim totally by surprise. Kim had never envisaged writing more than one book, but here we now are at number four, three Lindisfarne book and a Christmas novella called the Christmas Angel of the North which is about a nana and her granddaughter and set in Newcastle.

Kim finds most of her inspiration mooching around cafes across the Northeast where she ‘overhears’ some of the funniest and warmest things that are stored away for future use (anonymously of course!) If you see her, buy her some cake, then she promises never to write about you – unless you want her to of course!

Kim is very proud of her ratings on Amazon and if you want to read reviews for her previous books just pop on and you will be able to see just why Kim gets quite emotional over some of the lovely things that have been said about the books! If you do enjoy the books, please try and leave a rating or review, you don’t even have to have bought the book from Amazon, but each rating helps towards getting the system to recognise Kim and her books.

Some loves are worth killing for. And some are worth becoming a monster for.

I’m the Council’s best weapon. A slayer born to hunt the darkness.

They lied.

Brielle Thorne has staked more vampires than she can count, but the nightmares won’t stop—visions of blood-soaked victims and three faces she shouldn’t recognize. When the legendary Crimson Veil rises, weakening the barrier between life and death, three ancient vampires emerge from the shadows with a terrifying claim: she belongs to them.

Cazamir, the Primordial. A possessive monster powerful enough to make entire kingdoms kneel.

Dayden, the Shadow Walker. He’s beautiful and broken. And burning with a hatred for her that tastes like obsession.

Sin, the Illusionist. He’s snarky, dangerous, and far too good at making her forget why she should run.

They say she was theirs once, in a life she can’t remember. They say the Council cursed her, stole her, and turned her into their weapon. When the blood moon reaches its peak, she’ll have to choose: remain the hunter or reclaim her throne as their queen.

But as their touch awakens something dark and ravenous inside her, Brielle realizes the most dangerous thing isn’t the curse.

It’s how badly she wants to surrender.

The gods are dead. The stars have vanished. And the Order controls all magic.

Angharad Morgan has served them for as long as she can remember. She raises the recently dead to steal their secrets, a skill that has earned her a coveted place within the castle walls and the trust of the inner circle. Until she reveals a hidden power no one knew she had: she can kill by touch.

Now they see her as a threat.

To earn back their favor, Angharad travels to the windswept coast to hunt a dangerous exile, learn his secrets, and use her power against him. But he’s seen her in his dreams, and he’s been expecting her.
He takes her captive in his tower just as it comes under attack.

Bound by mysterious magic, they’re forced to work together against an unknown enemy, racing to find a relic that could heal the broken sky and awaken the dead gods.

She wants to trust him—and surrender to the irresistible pull between them—but believing him might be the most dangerous choice she can make.

Now the Order is coming for them both. Angharad must choose between the only world she’s ever known…and the man who makes her want to break it.

What Darkness Brings is the first book in a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy duology that’s perfect for readers who crave morally gray characters and heroines forced to choose between loyalty and love.

Alethea has never been free.

Born an Oracle with the power to speak the truth, she has spent her life in a gilded cage, her gift abused by her mother, the Queen of Lenorea, to maintain her rule and silence opposition. When Alethea speaks a prophecy that threatens the crown, she flees…

And falls right into the hands of Nakir Hasan, the cursed and exiled heir leading the rebellion against Lenorea’s throne. He takes her captive, expecting a loyal weapon of the crown, only to discover a young woman desperate to escape the very life she’s been forced to serve.

So they strike a bargain.

Alethea will help Nakir reclaim the crown, and in return, he’ll grant her the freedom she was never allowed.

But what begins as an alliance between enemies slowly becomes something far more dangerous. As war approaches and prophecy closes in, their unlikely pull to each other grows stronger, and soon, Alethea and Nakir are faced with a damning realization…

What if the greatest threat to the bargain they made isn’t the prophecy Alethea spoke… but the freedom she seeks, and what—or who—it will cost her to claim it?
