Could love undo the mess under which she was buried?
Or was it the excuse she’d give to forfeit her duty?


Still grappling with shocking revelations, Naia has to figure out if she can trust River, and this time, there’s a lot more than just her heart at stake. Unless she holds herself together, they won’t stand a chance against the powerful Ironhold Kingdom. Actually, they might not stand a chance regardless.

River wants to make things right with Naia, but he also wants to unveil Ironhold’s secrets. Diving deep down into the entrails of the dreadful Iron Citadel, he finds evil more dreadful and dangerous than he ever imagined. This time, there might be no escape for him.

On a strange land, Fel has to distinguish between foes and allies, while struggling with newfound magic, and coming across even more shocking discoveries. The price of his failure is nothing less than death.

Leah has to find a way to control her power, or else it will consume her—and destroy everything she loves.

With gripping action, nonstop danger, heartfelt moments, and heart-pounding romance, Iron Hearts and Dragon Magic is the epic finale of the duology Of Fire and Fae, an upper-YA romantic fantasy series for lovers of forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers, and family drama.

Romance, drama, and mystery abound in this telenovela-inspired upper-YA romantic fantasy for fans of multi-POV stories, forbidden love, enemies to lovers, family sagas, royal intrigue, and mysterious magic.

A forbidden fae kiss could be deadly.

Naia was raised in the shadow of her twin brother, the crown prince, who has iron magic much more powerful than hers. But Naia has wishes of her own. They awaken when she finds a white fae almost dying in the woods. She only heard of them in stories; the dreaded race that razed cities to the ground, killed her grandparents, almost rid Aluria of humans—until they disappeared. Now, almost twenty years later, are they back? Is there another war coming?

But the fae is evasive and secretive—and also alluring and fascinating, more beautiful than anyone she’s ever seen. And then it happens: Naia kisses him—and nothing will be the same again.

In another kingdom, Leah, a necromancer princess, has to find a husband in less than four days, during the gathering, when royals from all over Aluria meet. Her family makes it very clear that she can pick any prince she wants—except one: Naia’s brother. And it turns out that he’s the one; the one who makes her heart beat faster.

Meanwhile, war looms over the land. One of the kingdoms is amassing immense power. The White Fae might be returning. Amidst it all, Naia and her brother struggle with newfound magical powers, family secrets, and most of all, their own treacherous hearts.

Frozen Hearts and Death Magic is book 1 of the Duology Of Fire and Fae, recommended for readers 16 and up.

When a girl set on revenge meets an arrogant prince, sparks fly and tempers rise.

Yes, Zora cheated her way into the Royal Games, but it was for a very good reason:
Spite.
Her ex was an asshole and thought she could never attain glory on her own.
Just because she’s a girl.
So she took his place.

Now she’s competing for the legendary Blood Cup, representing the Dark Valley, a place where shadow creatures spawn in the dark and survive in sunlight. It’s her chance to prove her worth and bring glory to her people. If she wins, of course.

But winning is far from easy.
The younger prince thinks she’s a fragile damsel who doesn’t belong in the competition. Determined to eliminate her at all costs, he’s stacking the challenges against her. Ha. All he’s doing is making her want to win this competition more than ever.

The older prince is helping her, but the cost is getting Zora entangled in dangerous flirting games.
Flirting. The last thing she wanted.

And then there’s someone trying to kill her.

The Cup and the Prince is book 1 in the series Kingdom of Curses and Shadows, a Young Adult romantic fantasy series with romance, action, humor, and intrigue for readers 15 and older.

Readers have compared it to Folk of The Air (hate-to-love trope), Throne of Glass (royal contest), Red Queen (complicated royal brothers), The Shadows Between Us (quirky prose), and Spin the Dawn (royal contest).
