Breaking assassin Jonathon Decker out of a maximum-security prison on Trakis One seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, pursued across space by the two most powerful factions in the universe, the crew of El Cazador are having second thoughts. They’d like to give him back. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option.

Jon is used to working alone. Now, he’s stuck on the space cruiser El Cazador until he can work out just what he’s supposed to know that puts him on everybody’s most-wanted-dead list. He’s not happy that the crew includes a runaway priestess with designs on his virtue–such as it is. Jon likes women, but he gave up the role of protector a long time ago, and Alexia, High Priestess of the Church of Everlasting Life, is an accident waiting to happen.

After twenty-four excruciatingly boring years of doing her duty, Alex is finally having some fun. She never meant to run away–it was a rash impulse–and she means to go back–eventually. But first, she’s going to squeeze enough excitement out of the situation to last her a lifetime. And what could be more exciting than a stunningly gorgeous werewolf?

Meanwhile, the Church are chasing their missing priestess, and the Collective are pursuing their escaped assassin. Being hunted has never been more deadly…or more fun.

A seductive fae prince. A hidden princess. A dangerous prophecy. Never trust those from beyond the Mists.

Twenty years ago, Tarlia’s father believed he’d made a bargain with the fae. But the fae’s trickery cost the human king everything—the queen’s life and their daughter’s freedom. Since that day, Tarlia has lived in a hidden court surrounded by thorns. Now, only marriage to a human prince will end the princess’s exile and allow her to rejoin the kingdom.

Unless the fae reclaim her on the day the roses bloom.

Three years ago, a seer whispered a prophecy to a fae prince. If Jaren returns the girl stolen from the fae, he’ll secure his throne. But when he finds Tarlia, Jaren discovers the seer didn’t tell him everything about the hidden princess. Tarlia’s silver scars aren’t only from the thorns that surround her prison—the marks hide a dangerous secret.

Once over, the humans and fae lived in harmony until the kingdoms became threatened by fae magic and they declared war on the fae. In response, the fae created the Mists to divide two lands. Humans who step beyond the Mists never return. Fae who walk through are killed on sight.

The handsome and deadly fae captures Tarlia’s heart of thorns and frees her from the shackles of her kingdom. Jaren knows that if he crosses through the Mists with Tarlia and returns to his court, her life is at risk. But if she stays in the human kingdom, he’ll lose the princess who must become his queen.

And Jaren isn’t prepared to let her go.

Can the bond between Tarlia and the man with dark secrets of his own bring her the life and love she desires? Or will the fae prince’s deadly ambition destroy them both and bring destruction to the fae realm?

A Court Beyond the Mists is a slow-burn fantasy romance with a morally gray hero and a sheltered heroine who comes into her power. Part Rapunzel retelling, this first book in the series is perfect for fans of romantic fantasy with banter and tension leading to steamy scenes, set in a unique fantasy world of human and fae courts.
