{SECOND PLACE WINNER OF THE WOCA2018 FOR ADVENTURE
SECOND PLACE WINNER OF THE NIGHTTIME AWARDS FOR ACTION/ADVENTURE}
Evie's father is a traitor, but she doesn't see it that way. He didn't desert, no. Something terrible happened to him, she just knows it. But she can tell you the name of a true traitor: her would-be crew mate Myles. He's lazy, he's self serving, and he's given up on the only family he's ever known.
The choices of two young pirates set in motion a greater test of right and wrong, while their Captain does all he can to protect them and the world they love. The King is dying, and his daughter is next in line. The Queen is suspected of foul play, and disappears. The pirate league squabbles and a power struggle ensues. Families break apart and new alliances form. The only question is, who's side you will be on.

Cut the Deck (Lesbian Story)
Deck Guery-young, reckless, and undeniably the famous one. She's the type who gets what (and who) she wants without much effort. But what happens when she meets her sister-girlfriend-younger sister-babysitter-wait, did I get that right? Enter Nyla Thornton. The date Deck forgot about but somehow still gets. But when the night takes a turn, exposing Deck's insecurities and childish tendencies, things don't go quite as planned. Spoiler alert: it's the start of a perfectly dysfunctional, totally healthy relationship. Follow the messy, hilarious, and oddly heartfelt journey of Deck and Nyla as they navigate the highs and lows of their modern romance. "Actually, it's Deck and Nyla," Deck whines, nudging Nyla aside to claim the spotlight. "Nah, I think the narrator got it right the first time. Welcome to the Nyla Show," Nyla smirks, shoving Deck away with a well-placed hip bump. "It's a book, dude," Deck grumbles. "And you're an extra, baby," Nyla teases, running her fingers through her thick curls as Deck glares. Deck shrugs, then grins. "Guess it's my princess way or the highway." She wraps her arms around Nyla's waist, tackling her in an onslaught of kisses.Complete

Chattan Bride
READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?Complete
The Corpse Club
Light as a feather, quick as a wit, quiet as a corpse. -- Five years have passed since Min Ryoung's brother died. Resorting to grave looting and treasure pawning to make it by with her two fellow robbers, she's been in pursuit to uncover the legend she believes he was searching for ever since. When a looting goes terribly wrong, the three unknowingly tear a hole in their already-collapsing world that threatens to spread deadly consequences in return. In an attempt to mend their mistake, a chase begins to contain the havoc they've released and fast. However, when they're suddenly led to the piece of the puzzle Min's brother had always been missing, the piece that could finally put his endeavor to rest, their efforts to fix what they've broken shifts into a desperate treasure hunt across all five kingdoms to reap what's been buried to its full force-and all the reasons why it should have stayed buried in the first place. True treasure doesn't come around often. You'd be smart to try and take it when you see it, no matter the price it asks for. [ON HOLD] [Book 1 of Elyseun] [#70 in FAE] [#98 in HIGH FANTASY]
