Can the accursed prince and broken beauty move beyond their hatred for one another, not only to break the curse and save their kingdom…but to find love as well?

Prince Everard’s father forged him into a warrior. Upon the king’s death, however, Everard loses himself in his pain and brings a dark curse upon himself and the great Fortress that has long guarded the people of Destin.

The prince’s sin doesn’t solely affect those of his citadel, however. Isabelle, the daughter of a local merchant, has suffered the prince’s hasty temper before, and it changed her life forever. So when Everard’s curse cuts off his people’s source of protection, and he demands that she, a crippled commoner, help him break it, her shock and horror are rivaled only by her indigantation and even stronger desire to protect her family.

All the while, Destin’s enemy crouches at the foot of the Fortress’s mountain, waiting for the right moment to capture the stronghold that has stood for a thousand years.

Can Everard and Isabelle move past their brokenness to save Destin together? Or will they and their beloved kingdom remain under darkness forever?

A demon in her head. A cop on her tail. A city about to burn.

Mira Fuentes has been possessed by a demon since she was eleven.
Fortunately, the demon is on her side… mostly.

Together they hunt Rifters—demon-possessed humans who sow chaos in the Mortal Realm. Most hunts are quick, brutal, then she moves on, but when a routine hunt in Baltimore uncovers a powerful Rifter with plans to tear open the barrier between worlds, everything goes sideways, and Mira goes from the hunter to the hunted.

Recently retired from the Paranatural Task Force after the death of his partner, Detective Ty Williams wants nothing to do with magic anymore, but when a victim is killed by supernatural forces, Ty becomes the department’s reluctant expert.

His prime suspect?
The mysterious woman he took home from a bar the night before.

As Ty closes in, Mira faces an impossible choice: keep running… or trust a man determined to uncover her secrets. If she fails to stop the Rifter, the humans of Baltimore will become meat puppets for the denizens of the Rift. If she succeeds, she may take its place as public enemy number one.

Demon Riding Shotgun is the explosive first book in the Rifter Urban Fantasy Series—perfect for fans of fast-paced supernatural action, sharp-tongued demons, slow-burn romance, and gritty city magic.

If you love the dark humor of Venom and the monster-hunting thrills of Supernatural, buckle up.

Yesterday, my biggest problem was finding a blouse without a coffee stain.

Today, it’s the ghost of my best friend demanding I solve his murder. Oh—and his cat talks. With a British accent.

Ben doesn’t remember how he died. Just that it wasn’t an accident. And somehow, in the middle of all this, I’ve inherited his private investigation business.

Me. Audrey Fitzgerald. Formerly employed. Frequently underestimated. Currently seeing dead people.

Between a ghost with unfinished business, a cat who believes he’s the smartest one in the room, and a distractingly handsome detective who thinks I should leave the investigating to professionals, my life has officially veered off course.

I don’t trust cops. I trip over perfectly flat surfaces. And I have absolutely no intention of letting Ben’s murder go unsolved. He was my best friend. And if someone thinks they got away with killing him, they’re about to learn otherwise.

Ghost Mortem is the hilarious first book in the Ghost Detective paranormal cozy mystery series, featuring a ghostly best friend, a talking cat, small-town secrets, and a slow-burn romance that starts with suspicion.

SNOW WHITE meets Persephone . . .

Seven shades. One runaway goddess. A fate even the Fates couldn’t foresee.

Fleeing her overbearing mother, Snow White tumbles through a hidden chasm and lands at the gates of the Underworld. Sneaking past Cerberus, she finds refuge among a group of eccentric shades who inhabit the seers’ pit of Tartarus. Though they warn her of Hades’s wrath should she be discovered, Snow White is captivated by the hidden wonders of the Underworld, a place far more enchanting than the bleak prison her mother described. But when the Fates intervene, casting her into an enchanted sleep within a glass coffin, her fate rests in the hands of the very ruler she has evaded.

The books in this series can be read in any order.
