After kissing an irresistible stranger, a young professor discovers her mystery crush is one of her new students. MIA is an emotionally unavailable woman, who's dedicated everything to becoming the youngest professor at her university. Growing up with a narcissistic mother taught her to hide behind sarcasm and sass, while pushing away any pursuits of intimacy. JAKE is an irresistible sweetheart, who gets infatuated by a sharp-tongued woman and can't let her go, especially when he can read her like an open book and knows deep down, she's just afraid. When the two find themselves in a taboo academic setting, flames rise, chemistry explodes, and banter is never-ending. But will Jake be able to tame her heart without ruining them both in the process? DISCLAIMER: This is my first book, y'all. Don't be mean. Also, the smut fades to black. Ya horny animals.

Having a Gift is supposed to be good. But Edileth's feels more like a curse. Vowing to hide her abilities post-catastrophe, she leads a simple, disciplined life as Captain of the Guard in Kerindh. But this is all thrown into chaos when she is summoned by the Ferlian Order to transport an ancient relic for them. Edileth accepts, not knowing that it will lead her to participate in a power struggle much bigger than herself. On her journey, she is aided by a spontaneous elf who tests her patience, a healer who soothes more than physical ailments, an enchanter who is more than he seems, and an elite ranger with all the personality of a rock. Their common goal to prevent Gael-Narenth from falling to Si-ol's tyrannical sorcerer-king brings them together in more ways than one, and Edileth starts to care for her companions. But it is impossible to ignore the war approaching, and Edileth must embrace her scorned gift, or watch her companions perish. ~~~~ Won 2nd place in the Fantasy genre for The Lotus Awards 2020.
