NOTICE (August 24, 2024): Kings of Hawkings has been updated and revamped! [COMPLETED] When Jonas Spencer was a junior in high school, he had everything in the palm of his hand.

[BOOK 2] [COMPLETED] This is a continuation of the first novel, and it is recommended that you read Return of the Demon Sovereign: Udanfold [MxM] before starting this one. •••• In the aftermath of their tireless wars against the Devils in the depths of Undanfold, Erebus and Leo find themselves in the realm of Halrland. As they navigate this new terrain, their enemies draw ever closer, their relentless pursuit threatening to unravel the fragile peace they've fought so hard to obtain. Erebus, haunted by the memories of his past as the Demon Sovereign, is in a constant battle to keep his identity hidden. The revelation of his true self would not only endanger his life but also the lives of those who stand by him. His inner turmoil is further complicated by the presence of Jericho and Kore and their plots to destroy Shadowbane. However, they must also face the greatest threat to the realms: the Titans. Their awakening could engulf the realms in chaos and destruction. Erebus and Leo must find a way to thwart Jericho and Kore's schemes while preparing for the imminent threat of the Titans. In Halrland, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unveiled, and the battle for survival will reach new heights. Erebus must confront his past and embrace his destiny to protect those he loves and prevent the realms from descending into darkness. The path ahead is fraught with peril, but with Leo by his side, Erebus is determined to face whatever challenges lie in wait. Genre: Fantasy|Action|MxM Trigger Warning: This novel contains fighting, blood, death, gore, and torture. It also contains mature language and scenes. Although this will have romance, it will not be the primary focus of the novel. I love Erebus and Leo (don't get me wrong), but I may love vengeance a little more.

[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on. However, Danny is undeniably gorgeous and way out of his league, so he needs to maintain realistic expectations. But, when Danny needs a date for a destination wedding, Brett's first instinct is to offer his help. Being his fake boyfriend would not be a hardship. A romantic beach, a fake relationship, and one bed... what could go wrong? Genre: Contemporary Romance / Fake Relationship / Friends to Love / HEA Guaranteed / Dual POV There will be mature scenes between two men that I will mark accordingly. These scenes are intended for mature audiences. This is a spin-off of the worlds of King of Hawkings/Death & Tequila and A New Song/Beats of the Heart, but it is a stand-alone novel, so reading the other novels is unnecessary. However, some old characters will appear, so you may enjoy it more with the full background.

[BOOK 1] COMPLETED Legends once spoke of Erebus, a great cultivator who stood against an army of darkness. He fought bravely alongside his brothers for many years but found himself betrayed. Those he called family poisoned and tortured him-seeking his death. When he escaped, he was demonized and painted as a villain of the realms. Thus, Erebus turned to the army of darkness and discovered the truth. His foe was never the darkness but the great beings manipulating the realms-Titans. He picked up his daggers and spent centuries fighting against these monsters, but fell short of his goal and lost his life. When he believed death would give him rest, the Shadow Deity revealed another plan for him and offered a new life. Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies. Can they stop the corruption and deceit spread by the gods? ***This novel will have mature language and violence.*** An earlier version of this novel was released a couple of years ago; however, I have rebooted it to this current version. This is an MxM novel but is considered a slow burn.
