☆ 2022 WATTYS SHORTLIST ☆ Leonora 'Lena' Winterhaven is a witch on a dry spell. Somehow, she is the only one left in her coven (and possibly all of New York!) to still have her virtue intact at the age of twenty-nine. This would be fine and dandy, if not for a particular curse that afflicts one Winterhaven witch every half-century. Lena just happens to be that unlucky witch. If she remains a virgin by the age of thirty, Lena is in danger of losing all of her powers forever. And for Lena, forever is much too long a time to live without an enchanted shoe collection, perfectly-conjured cups of cappuccino every morning, nor the ability to deep clean her studio apartment with a snap of a finger. But what's a witch to do when these are her options? Vampires? Terribly morbid. Warlocks? Too self-absorbed. Werewolves? Absolutely frowned upon. ...even though Alpha Magnus MacCallan ignites her inner desires stronger than hellfire. 'What We Do in the Shadows' meets 'Sex & the City' in this enchanted tale of sexual awakening! Get ready for a journey filled with chills, thrills and cauldrons full of laughter ☆ [BOOK ONE IN THE WINTERHAVEN DUOLOGY]

|| Everything changes when you fall in love with the enemy. || When General Niall Killian, a high ranked prodigy, recruits the newly graduated Thea Rhaanan to work for him, his hope is that she will be the key to unlocking incredibly valuable information from an uncooperative source. This information being exactly what he needs to finally bring an end to the decades long conflict between the Aiverian State and its despised rebels, the Elorian Crows. However, Thea has her own ideas. Realizing that helping Niall may mean turning on her own people, the very people the Elorian Crows fight for, Thea must decide if trusting Niall is the right thing to do... especially when working for the State means being in the heart of the lions den and surrounding herself with people who hate her. Of course, her confusion and fear only worsens when she finds herself not only growing close to her new co-workers, but also starting to develop feelings for the General himself.

Now, at the turn of the twentieth century, the Foretelling-a prophecy that threatens to tear theVents apart-is poised to reveal itself. Twelve-year-old Sadie Madison cannot forget. Anything. Sadie lives with her family in the town of Iron Bridge, on the banks of the River Myr, deep in the Shadow Valley, where she loves reading scary books and playing make-believe.

Lyra has been waiting for her Weaver to find her for years, unable to leave the safety of her home and only connected to him through passionate dreams - remembering nothing about him apart from his wild, sensual song. When the lone Weaver Grigore finally sweeps into her life, she finds herself instantly drawn to him, instantly recognising him as the man she had dreamt of for years. However, Lyra quickly runs into problems. Not only does he fail to recognise her but he's nothing like she imagined; cold, stubborn and determined to keep himself away from her. Rejected but determined to keep him safe as her magic whispers of his death, she follows him through danger and blood as he stalks his own hunt, desperate to shake the hooks that keeps pulling him back to her. First Volume of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Written from Sep 2011 until April 2014. This was the very first adult romance I'd written and has a plethora of problems. Despite this, I won't do further editing as I'm putting my efforts into a full re-write. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. The cover is my own art; sketched 2017.

This is the sequel to The Alpha's Breeder. Please read The Alpha's Breeder before reading this book. It will not make any sense unless you read the first book. . . . What is a Breeder? What I mean is, what do I classify as? What kind of species am I? Am I still human? Am I considered a werewolf now? A supernatural being? What? "You're just you, Emira. You are whatever you want to be," came Eros' dubious reply. I pouted. . . . WARNING: This book contains explicit sexual content, mature and dark themes that are violent, gory, and explicit. The situations in this book that might make you squeamish, sick, or disgusted. No r*ape. ** Stars at the beginning of a chapter will signify that the chapter contains content not suitable for all ages.
