Magic is real, but Tara’s life isn’t a fairy tale.

From humble beginnings, Tara’s managed to work her way into a great job researching Dark Energy, aka “magic,” in Chicago. She has a beautiful house she renovated with her own hands, and a loving extended family, but she hasn’t found her soulmate … Not that she believes in soulmates.

Lionel is a Light Elf. Despite being of dubious heritage and being born a peasant, he’s risen in the ranks to serve the Elf Queen. Like all true elves, Lionel has a soulmark to identify his soulmate … He just hasn’t found her yet.

When Lionel’s and Tara’s lives collide and Dark Elves strike, they’re forced to work together or perish. Friendship and more grows between them, but dangers loom … Tara is more important than she knows, and Lionel is more important than he wants to admit. Both of them have choices to make.

Will Lionel choose a “perfect” love over Tara? How much is Tara willing to give up for a happily ever after?

They might find that in an uncertain world, the love you struggle for is the only certain thing.

“OH MY GOD! I have found my new addiction! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!!… I was hooked… I am just buzzing from this!” Zooloo’s Book Diary

I’m Rylan Flynn. I hunt for ghosts and restless spirits, and solve the mysteries that make them haunt the living.

I’ve learned to live with my “gift” but sometimes I long to escape. My aunt’s cabin, deep in the woods, is usually peaceful. But this time I can feel that something is different.

The ghost of a young woman approaches through the trees. She leads me to her body, then vanishes into thin air. With a flood of horror I realize she was murdered.

A killer is at work and my abilities could be the only way to prevent further deaths. But handsome Detective Ford Pierce makes it very clear he doesn’t want my help.

And any unexplained knowledge of the case could make me the perfect suspect.

When another body is discovered and blood at the scene points to my family, I race against time to untangle a web of dark secrets. But can I find answers before the killer claims another victim?

A heart-pounding mystery with a touch of romance, The Spirit Girls begins a new series of paranormal thrillers that are impossible to put down. If you love urban fantasy or psychic thrillers by Heather Graham and Wendy Wang, this book will grab you from the first page and never let go.

For readers who love epic fantasy with prophecy, fae magic, and political intrigue, where duty clashes with desire, and fate is never what it seems. Fans of Wheel of Time, The Queen’s Rising, and The Realm of the Elderlings will feel right at home.

Vengeance has its cost. Now, Rowena must pay.

Haunted by the weight of her loss, Rowena’s path to redemption is anything but clear. A web of deception tears Rowena from Bram’s side, forcing her to learn that trust is as fragile as the throne she lost. No one is beyond suspicion—not even the man who swore to stand by her.

Bram’s secret has been exposed. And now, it may cost him everything.

The governing druids summoned Bram to answer for his actions, forcing his return to a homeland he barely recognizes. What he uncovers shatters his beliefs, leaving him at a crossroads: upholding his sacred duty or following a path that risks unraveling everything he’s fighting for.

The fate of the realm hangs in the balance, but for Rowena and Bram, the most significant battle lies within. They must confront their deepest fears, challenge their loyalties, and decide whether the love they have found is worth the cost of duty.

Because saving the world may require sacrificing what they need most—each other.
