She moaned low and breathy, like something just beneath a prayer. The sound didn't seem coy. It felt possessed. Jacob stumbled back behind a tree, his pulse hammering in his throat. His lips ajar. He didn't even remember breathing. The crucifix beneath his shirt felt like ice against his chest. He gripped it anyway. The metal biting into his palm. He told himself he hadn't seen what he saw. ************* In Little Harmonie, purity is worshiped, sin is hunted, and witches burn. Father Jacob should condemn Delilah. Instead, he craves her. Her beauty tempts him, her power unsettles him, and her darkness feels too much like his own. But the deeper he falls, the uglier the truth bleeds out: the town is rotten, the sermons are lies, and the real monsters don't just lurk in the woods... they wear holy robes. In a place that calls itself pure, obsession is holy, and love is the most dangerous curse of all.

To make matters worse, he's her boss's son!

Isaac Blackwoods has spent his entire life running from shadows. From the mansion where his father's voice was a weapon, from the nightmares that follow him into every restless sleep, from the chains of a past he refuses to name. At twenty-two, he finally has a chance to carve out a life of his own-a rookie detective with a brilliant mind and a heart too soft for the cruel city he serves. But angels never walk unnoticed. And Isaac? Isaac has caught the eyes of monsters. They don't fall in love. They consume. They don't chase. They claim. And now their eyes are on him. To them, Isaac is not a detective. He is not a rival. He is theirs. Their butterfly. Their obsession. Isaac believes in justice, in peace, in the quiet discipline of a life not ruled by violence. They believe in blood, in power, in keeping what belongs to them no matter the cost. He thinks they're his enemies. They think he's their future. And when angels and devils meet, only one truth remains: obsession is the most dangerous game of all. Tropes: Detective x criminals Evil x angel Obsession Possession Mafia

SEQUEL TO THE BRIGHT ROOM ----- A murdered elder. A conspiracy among the local underground authorities. Malformed foundlings scattered in the desert. An ancient vampire friend somehow connected to it all. That's too much to handle even for Randy, a famously efficient vampire fixer, even with all the surprises he hides under his old-school duster. But his new partner, Clara, a world-weary executive assigned to watch over him, might be more trouble than help, especially with the tension between them that somehow even co-feeding cannot ease. Meanwhile, vampire hunter Gareth and whatever-the-hell-she-is-now Samantha try to navigate their new... business relationship, with all its emotional complexity (you've read my previous novel, right?), while Sam's mysterious powers develop, her sins come back to haunt her, and her best friend Cassie is still missing. To find her, they need to turn every stone the vampires hide under. But turning every stone is very much against the rules of vampiric society that Randy and Clara are defending. Will they be able to figure out they are all solving the same mystery, before something irreversible happens? And if they do, will they fix the underground world... or turn it into ash? This is another of my nesting dolls -- this time, an erotic horror/dark romance hides inside a mystery novel inside an urban fantasy. Seems simpler than the last one? Well, no luck, the existential dread is still there. If you're here from the prequel, to check what happened after the epilogue, this part starts in chapter 3. Melting. This is a work in progress, and a lot can still change. It's mature -- though, for now, not as hard on the reader as the previous book... yet the cogs in my head are spinning fast to fix that in the future. How kinky can a blood farm get? I am not sure yet, but it will be so much fun to find out. TEMPORARILY ON HOLD -- BE BACK IN A FEW WEEKS.

In the magic-bound kingdom of Eldoria, power means survival. Nineteen-year-old Aiden possesses a rare gift-healing. To the world, it's a blessing, but to him, it's a curse.

But everything changes when a fateful encounter with a dark, enigmatic prince disrupts the fragile balance of his life. What starts as pure hatred between them slowly twists into something even more dangerous and consuming-desire. Driven by a restless curiosity to uncover the true nature of the power running through his blood, Aiden is thrust onto a journey that challenges everything he thought he knew about magic, survival, and the cost of a forbidden love.

CRIMSON DIVIDE has made it to round 3 of the 2025 Amby's! "𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑟. 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑡 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑠 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ." The year is 398 of the Ninth Era (or more accurately, 7700 AD). The Twenty Years War has ended, giving rise to a new age of mass surveillance, paranoia, and doubt. Angela, a Frame pilot fighting her way through her trauma, slowly becomes disillusioned with the authoritarian system in which she exists. The Knife, a mob fixer with the ability to bend states of matter, tries to crawl out from under what she's done only to get sucked right back in. Grey, a goofy and loyal friend with modest ambitions, is driven to act and save Angela, only to find himself embroiled in a deadly conflict he doesn't understand. And finally, Davis, an esteemed investigator, learns that the ideals he fought for were never real in the first place. As shadowy players make their move, these four lives collide violently. Frames drop, guns are drawn - and there won't be a winner, only more devastation. At the center of it all lies the Vessel, a reality-warping implant with unimaginable destructive capability. The Federation will kill without hesitation to get it back - and Angela just merged with it.
