This standalone fantasy romance about a human woman and a dryad elf will have you turning pages all night long.

A woman hiding a terrifying secret. A dryad prince fighting the beast inside him. A forbidden love that will lead to bloodshed.

Isa longs to escape her abusive employers and see the world, but on a ship, it feels impossible. When a storm wrecks the ship and throws her onto a seemingly deserted island, for the first time, she is more than arm’s length from her oppressors. Maybe now she’ll have the space to uncover the secret her body is hiding from her…

Viridi was raised to be a protective beast for his people—the Thorned One. But something is wrong with him. Very wrong. His father, the king, doesn’t believe him and refuses to use caution in his efforts to push Viridi to shift into this new form.

When Isa and Viridi meet on the storm-lashed beach, a powerful fated bond irrevocably links their hearts. But the king will sooner kill Isa than allow them to be together. With Viridi losing more of himself by the day and Isa’s enemies rising once more, their situation grows deadly serious.

Will their connection survive the coming storm? What must they sacrifice for their love?

“We never steal children. We only swap them. An eye for an eye, a child for a child.”

Aiden must retrieve the Sword Master from demon territory.

The mission doesn’t go entirely to plan, and Aiden falls dangerously in love with the Swordsmaster, Keera. She’s pretty as a fae, and a strong, graceful fighter.

With every movement she makes, he falls harder. Keera and Aiden both ignore the warnings, marry, and have two beautiful daughters.

Meanwhile, Keera’s swords, forged with cold iron, and adorned with silver and gold, have angered the fae—and most especially King Hades and Persephone who rule FaerLand.

Determined to pay the humans back, Queen Persephone orders two fae underlings, Lettie and Zadie to switch their changelings for Keera and Aiden’s children.

Lettie’s heart breaks as Zadie tears her beloved changeling, Nada, from her hands and replaces her with a snotty human child. Now, the one person she loved in all the world is gone, she will do anything to bring Nada back…

…including killing Keera and Aiden to end the fairy bargain.

Ever since a horrifying incident that got me turned into a vampire at two, life has been hell. My mother disowned me, and I can barely have friends or attend school. And if the authorities find me out? I’m toast.

I thought moving to the city would help me blend in, but boy, was I wrong. When the authorities catch on to me, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage who’s full of himself. He’s also a roper for Supernaturals Underground, a magical, hidden city.

At least here, I don’t have to hide anymore. But I must earn my keep. Supernaturals are going missing all over the city, including my father. The demon mayor is rounding us up for some diabolical plan, and the Underground wants me to help them fight.

Oh, and Xavier has magically bound me to him so that we’re forced to fight together. What the hell? Time to knock him down a notch.

Or maybe I won’t have to. Xavier’s got his own scars, and we have bigger things to worry about. Turns out, I’m wanted personally by the mayor and special, and that’s never good news in the Supernatural world.

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.
