Abandoned to his fate, a shapeshifting gargoyle is trapped until she sets him free...
A gargoyle betrayed by his soldiers...
After centuries of stone-cold death, Garrett discovers his legion has deserted him. Without their help, he'll succumb to eternal sleep once more unless he can trick the woman who woke him into trusting him with her soul.
A combat veteran scarred inside and out...
Her last night in Afghanistan, Raquel Guerrero's team fell victim to a suicide bomber, killing everyone but her. Now, despite her determination to never again let anyone close, her sense of duty compels her to help an endangered warrior survive.
Trust isn't in their vocabularies...
A tentative truce frees them to investigate his regiment's abandonment-and unleashes passionate temptations. But when the truth is uncovered, Garrett and Raquel's fragile bond-and the healing power of love-might be the only thing that keeps them alive.

The Hunter's Oath
I was hired to capture her, nothing more. She was just another job-another fugitive to bring in. But the deeper I dug, the more I realized she wasn't the criminal they claimed. She was running from something far bigger, and now, so was I. Protecting her wasn't part of the plan, but watching her fight for her life, for the truth, forced me to face my own ghosts. The ones I thought I'd buried. With every step, the shadows around us grew darker, and the danger more real. But one thing became clear: I'd burn it all down before I let anyone touch her.

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 5 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities.

He'll just go through the motions and return home alone...until he sees Maddie. The human woman he reluctantly let walk away.
