Read the entire Demon’s Fae series in this discounted box set.
Fast-paced supernatural action, magic, adventure, and a medium-burn why choose romance with three unusual but sexy and devoted guys, all led by a kickass heroine with a very British sense of humour.

HELD BY MAGIC
The London fae court is in turmoil and a demon prince plans to take control.

I make one tiny mistake, and suddenly I’m marked for death, running from demons, and pursued by my fae ex-lover. Who knew stealing a magic box could cause so much trouble?

My skills are more in demand than I realise because three hot demons from a mysterious institute track me down.
Powerful but seductive elemental demon Cillian.

Sharp and guarded djinn Morgan.

And their companion Dex who’s definitely not human and also strangely familiar.

Hook ups aren’t on my agenda, but these guys have some interesting skills to distract me from my imminent death.

ELEMENTS OF MAGIC
A day spent tracking down demon-filled boxes? Frustrating.

Four powerful and sexy men in my life? Distracting.

A night out in a fae drug den? Bad idea.

We’ve discovered a secret alliance between rogue fae and the demon prince—one that could destroy the London fae court. The mysterious and sexy fae the Collector could stop the court’s downfall but is he prepared to step forward and reveal himself?

SHADES OF MAGIC

A demon unleashes. The dark fae return. And a hellhound is missing.

I finally discover why I’m tracked down by a demon—and how I’m connected to these sought-after boxes. But if I have to face any more surprise revelations, I’ll convince myself I’m in one of Morgan’s parallel worlds. There’s not enough whiskey in the world to deal with all this.

The answer chills both Chris and Bree to their cores: it’s an invasion.

They have to pick up their kids and get away from the city. But the Randalls soon discover that nowhere is far enough away to keep them safe.

Waltz, tango, foxtrot…murder?

Not much has changed about Selena’s fussy, finicky, magical talking cat, Archie. Except now, instead of roaming Globe’s streets and alleys on four feet. he’s kicking up two very human heels at a ballroom dance competition with his fiancée, Victoria.

Selena couldn’t be happier for her formerly furry friend. Stepping Stars could be the gateway to Archie’s unfulfilled dreams. But when a competitor is found dead in Archie’s costume trunk — sporting some very strange wounds — the future he’s longed for is threatened…because witnesses saw him claws-out with the victim just hours earlier.

Though the evidence is flimsy at best, Selena goes straight to her divination tools to look for clues. Her Tarot cards and pendulum seem to point nowhere, but she’s sure of one thing. Her instincts never lie — and the killer could be using glitz, glamour, and bright lights to cover his tracks.

Undisturbed for aeons, something has been awakened…

When the UEF Scimitar is dispatched to retrieve an archaeologist from an isolated and abandoned Terran colony, young officer Hayden Kaine thinks it is a routine mission. But when a mysterious accident traps the ship in the quarantined star system, survival soon becomes everyone’s only concern.

Attacked by an unknown alien species, the ship is damaged and half of the crew is killed or injured, including the captain. The only surviving bridge officer, Kaine is thrust into the command seat; a role for which he is neither experienced nor prepared, and which most of the surviving crew do not easily accept.

While the enemy amasses an overwhelming invasion fleet capable of overwhelming the unsuspecting confederation, Kaine must stave off a mutiny long enough to find a way to warn Earth of the danger. If he fails, the empire which has survived for five hundred years will fall and humanity will be doomed to extinction by a foe whose existence seems to defy the laws of physics.

If you love the science fiction works of Heinlein, Clarke or Asimov, try D.M. Pruden’s rousing military space opera adventure, Kaine’s Sanction, the first book in the Shattered Empire series.
