NOW UPDATING ON KINDLE VELLA ONLY ~ Physical copies will be available for purchase once completed. **A MATURE FANTASY** Book #2 in the Elemental Heir Series. ******* "How long had it been? A month? Six? A year? More than a year? I didn't know. Couldn't say with confidence how long it had been since I had actually spoken out loud. I wondered if my vocal chords still worked... Or had they rusted over? Sometimes, I mouthed words to myself as I sat in the darkness. I didn't speak them... Just formed my lips around the syllables, just to see if my mouth remembered how. Sometimes I would sleep, and wake, only to lay there, un-moving, until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore, and then I'd sleep again. Over, and over... Sometimes, I'd open my mouth just to stretch my jaw muscles after going days without using them. Sometimes, I'd stand up and stretch my arms and legs and back after not moving for hours on end. Sometimes, I'd close my eyes and try, try, try... Try to feel the weight of my wings, which were no longer there." ********** ⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️ This is a mature book. This book contains graphic violence, adult situations, and sexual content. 18+ readers only. *********** #1 in ROMANCE ~ 5/01/2020 ***********

Even love gods get tired of love. At least, Armand does. For an eternity, he's been in charge of making sure humans find the "one", when a completely unexpected call for help throws him off track. Sylvia, a 27-year-old assistant professor of art history, is fed up with love. For three years, she's been in a relationship with Edgar, who is as egoistical as he's unfaithful. All she wants is to be rid of her feelings for him, but she can't find a way out of this toxic relationship. When she gets dangerously close to a suicide attempt, she begs the heavens to free her from love. This isn't one of Armand's usual calls. Intrigued and eager to escape the eternal boredom in his office at "Clouds of Love", he rushes down to earth to save Sylvia before it's too late, but when he suddenly finds himself caught up in feelings for her, this is only the beginning of his problems. His ill-tempered boss, Mr. Z, is threatening to strip him of his immortality, and his on-and-off lover Natalia, the sultry and sex-hungry goddess of revenge, is not at all amused that Armand is kicking her off his god-sized bed. Add to the mix a jealous and violent Edgar, who is not willing to give up Sylvia, Armand is in more trouble than he can handle. Forced to make a choice between love and immortality, he must learn to trust his heart, or lose his chance at happiness that might not last an eternity, but could be forever. +++++ Contemporary romance with a pinch of paranormal, some steam, and a healthy dose of humour. MATURE CONTENT! +++++ This is a translation of my German story "Entlieben", written for the ONC in 2021.

His handsome face inches from mine, baring a wolfish grin, as he whispers into my ear: "Are you ready to lose yourself to me?"

When Emmy's best friend, the King of the Dark Fae, pulls her into Court for her own safety, her life shatters into a world of danger, desire, and deception. And the fae who tempts her most is the one she can never trust. *~*~*~*~*~*~* Emmy has always known her best friend isn't human-he's the King of the Fae, ruling a realm where beauty is a weapon and loyalty comes at a cost. As rebellion rises and Damien's power begins to fracture, Emmy agrees to help him find a queen-someone who can legitimize his reign and calm the chaos threatening to consume his court. But in the glittering danger of the fae world, Emmy meets a mysterious man-a ruthless, magnetic fae whose allegiance belongs to no one. His interest in her is as sharp as it is dangerous, and every moment she spends near him draws her deeper into a web of conspiracy and deceit she can't escape. Caught between loyalty and temptation, light and ruin, Emmy must decide what she's willing to sacrifice. Because in a realm where crowns are won with blood and hearts are broken for sport, even love can be treason. ~*Author's Note*~ This is a slow-burn dark fantasy with sharp edges. Expect morally grey characters, power imbalances, quiet choices that hurt more than loud ones, and a romance that is intense, complicated, and not always safe. No one here is purely good, no one is entirely honest, and love does not guarantee mercy. If you're looking for a story about agency, survival, and what it costs to matter in a world that would rather use you-welcome. Read carefully.

This is the year she's supposed to pick a suitor and take over her mothers rule. Except ruling is the last thing Scylla wants. So here's the plan. If she picks a mer, so despicable, so innapropriate and daft he could not possibly rule by her side, her mother would have no choice but to deny her chosen mate. Conveniently Scylla in her 'heartbroken' state, would buy herself another year of respit. Charybdis the sea hag has a plan. Desguise himself as a strapping young Mer. Infiltrate the yearly gathering and win the affections of the new matron to be. Such power should not be in the hands of a snot nosed brat anyway. No. He'd be a much better leader than she could ever be. All that was left is to work his charms...
