Siena (Forestfolk, Book 1)
Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance.

The only family she has left. Or so she thinks. With nothing except a mysterious name left behind in a note, Victoria must turn to a charming stranger and ask for his help. Even when she doesn't want it.Complete
Nirrin (Forestfolk, Book 3)
Nirrin spends her days in Foresthome caring for orphans, getting into trouble, and listening to other people's adventures with secret envy. Which is why following an intriguing stranger into an unknown part of the forest seemed like a good idea at the time. Nirrin doesn't expect to find her missing parents among a band of odd-looking misfits, but family is family, right? Her hopes to reclaim the kin she'd lost are challenged, however, when she uncovers their violent plot against "Normals" like her. They'll make an exception for her (Nirrin has always been great at exempting herself from rules), but doing nothing would mean endangering her friends in Foresthome. She must stop these outcasts from--who is she kidding? She's a smart-mouthed girl with no special talents. What is she going to do, talk them to death? Maybe babysitting a bunch of other orphans in Foresthome wasn't such a bad deal after all.Complete
Bloom & Blood (Intersex)
In a world where loyalty is currency and power is everything, two women from opposite sides of life collide in a slow-burn love story laced with danger, healing, and passion. Siena Vale is a soft-hearted, resilient young woman trying to rebuild a quiet life after the death of her parents. With her teenage sister Lila depending on her, Siena puts her own dreams on hold, working multiple jobs and living in a cramped apartment with two close friends. Beneath her calm surface is a girl who's been through hell-especially with her ex-boyfriend Ethan, who started sweet but turned abusive and obsessive. Even after she left him, he continues to stalk and torment her, turning her daily life into a nightmare. Everything changes when Siena lands a job as a secretary at a private firm with intimidating luxury and tight security. It's there she meets Kingston "King" Moretti-a dominant, suited mafia stud with sharp eyes, quiet control, and a reputation soaked in blood and respect. Known as "The Stud King" in the underground world, King is a woman who commands fear in every room she enters-fierce, calculated, and unshakable. But beneath her tailored armor is a deeply private soul who's used to protecting everyone but herself. Siena is unlike anyone King has ever encountered-gentle, kind, and utterly unfazed by power. She's not afraid to speak up, even when her voice shakes. Her softness challenges King's cold world. And when King discovers the shadows chasing Siena-an ex who won't let go-her instinct is immediate and fierce: "Nobody hurts what's mine." What starts as protection evolves into something deeper. Sparks fly in the quiet glances, in late-night talks, in the way Siena softens King's hardened edges. But love doesn't come easy in a world like King's. As enemies close in and Ethan grows more dangerous, Siena finds herself caught between the peaceful life she wanted-and the dangerously beautiful woman who makes her feel truly safe for the first time.Complete
