The Medium
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.Complete
Unseen shadow | Mafia Kade and Elara |
{Unseen Shadows}🌑🖤 --- Last warning, Elara. Safeword now, or. "Please.. "Elara begged him again".. His face darkened, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "Too late." He grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning himself between her thighs. She tensed, her body bracing.......read more.. The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Complete
Blood Descent
A witch with dormant powers. A vampyr imprisoned for centuries. A destiny that could save or doom them both. Viola never meant to awaken him. One accidental spell, and she unleashes Matic-an exiled half-demon vampyr with eyes like winter's edge and a voice that drips temptation and damnation. He's not just a creature of the night-he's centuries of rage wrapped in lust, betrayal, and something far more dangerous: purpose. Now marked by fate and hunted by those who fear Matic's return, Viola finds herself tethered to the one being whose very presence makes her skin burn with warning-and want. Because Matic doesn't just promise protection. He offers oblivion. As Samhain nears and the veil between realms thins, ancient blood rites begin to stir. Devoted worshippers rise to complete broken rituals, shadows hunger for their master's return-and Viola begins to unravel, drawn deeper into the magnetic pull of a monster who doesn't just haunt her... he claims her. And when truths buried in ash rise from the grave, Viola must face the one question that could shatter her: Is the real danger the demon beside her... or the darkness awakening within her? Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Reincarnation, Villainous Crush, Magical Dependency
