Erik Torston is a simple hog farmer, the head of the family after his father and half brother answered a summons to war five years ago. When a new summons comes, he and his friends answer the call, leaving River Bend and the only home they've ever known. Erik is reluctantly forced into the world of soldiers and politics, questioning who he is as he navigates a secret family connection, a scheming Duke, and his attraction to the beautiful Lady Abigail. Circumstance takes him to the Capital, where royal secrets and a war threatens not only everything Erik has ever known, but his life as well. --- Lady Abigail wants nothing more than to go home to raise her uncle's infant daughter Mouse in the warmth of her family home while he grieves the loss of his wife in childbirth. She plans to head home when the army mustering for the King heads for the coast. That army includes Erik Torston, the handsome and somewhat mysterious new recruit. When the Duke arrives to inspect the troops, it starts a series of events that changes the plan for everyone at Berrigan Keep, thrusting Abigail and Mouse into the viper's nest of the royal court, where whispered scandals are currency, and nothing is what it seems... Including Erik Torston. --- Blood of Quartz is an alternate universe fantasy adventure story with hints of magic, secret royalty, and a slow burn love story. It is about finding your way when life turns out differently than you expect, family, and the ties that bind us all. Cover by Ren Tachibana @rentachi - https://www.rentachibanaworks.com/

Having a genie is always complicated. Bringing him to school makes everything worse. Nothing ever seems to go Megan's way: she's late for everything, failing her classes, and barely registers in the eyes of her peers. Desperate to escape her perpetually middle-of-the-pack life, she scrapes together every last penny she can find, ready to run away. Instead of a fresh start, she finds an old, discarded bottle. When she opens it, a kid her own age appears, ready to grant her heart's desire. Her first, most important wish? To be popular. Overnight, Megan's life takes a drastic turn for the better-and she gets cocky. After a failed bet with the genie, she agrees to let him come to school. Before she knows it, he's worming his way into every part of her newly-improved life. He's in all her classes, friends with her brother, and even getting invites to hang out with her friends. But despite her best efforts, she's starting to see him as something more than just her personal wish-granter; he's almost a friend. But as the person who granted all her desires threatens to take over her life, she has to ask herself: Can she trust the magic she wished for, or is she just a pawn in the genie's own complicated game? This book is a fun, fast-paced story with a thoughtful core about friendship, desire, and consequences.

Breaking company policy has never felt so good! #1 in #FunnyGirl & #WorkRomance! For Jennifer, Peterson's Department Store's premier HR assistant, Netflix and chill means relaxing in the evening with her two cats, Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski. And she likes it that way. Burned by an ex that got away with breaking the rules when she couldn't, she's not about to let a delicious smile and perfectly tailored suit come between her and her dreams. Again. At least that's what she's happy telling herself until, oozing with professionalism, Austin, the new menswear manager, shakes her hand and calls her by her full name sending her heart and head into overdrive. Suddenly, Jennifer's visiting the MAC counter for flirtier makeup, hitting Chili's for drinks with the managers after closing, and bending the rules (just a bit!) to help Austin in his new position, all frowned upon if she wants to achieve her goal of a promotion to HR manager. Then a change in company policy makes dating anyone in her store, including Austin, off limits. Now Jennifer must choose between her dream of helping the underrepresented women employees of Peterson's and a second chance at true love. If she can find a way to have both, she just may learn what happily ever after in retail means.
