Becca's life has continuously gone down hill since the death of her father. First there was her step-father, then a plague which even her mother, a healing mage could do little against. Becca was used to life taking more than it gave, but when it takes her mother and brother at his birth, she thinks she's seen the worst of her luck; until her step-father gambles her away in a dice game.
With no rights, no family, and no friends, Becca must accept whatever allies she can, and hope for the best of the worst.

The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
The Witch's Choice ( The Last Werewolf #2 )
One night, she stood outside his door, a witch, his mate - with something to tell. She said, "I'll bring Christine from the grave, but first, it's Marco you must help me save." "You took his life - now make it right. Help me, and she'll return to light." But does Daniel still want Christine back... when his true mate stands on the living track? Will he choose the love that used to be, or the one that still could be? And will Isabell follow the pull of fate, or choose the one who makes her feel safe? And maybe it's all just a big mistake, a choice the Goddess can't take back. --- Set in the same world as The Last Werewolf. This story picks up at the conclusion of the original and Alpha Dane's Games, filled with major spoilers. However, it can be enjoyed as a standalone tale focusing on Isabell and Daniel.

On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice.

And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.Complete

Bound in Spirals
A young man finds himself stranded by the death of another. (Written March 2015 - Feb 2018) 12/30/2021 - Author's note: I write to those who have awaited more of this world... I have not revisited this story in years and will likely have to do some major edits/rewrites before I write a sequel. I am sorry to inform it will probably be some more years before I have the time/energy. For now, consider this a fragment of a fuller universe. It is also a peek into the process of me learning to write as well as my early attempts to deconstruct power dynamics/hierarchy/gender/etc. I appreciate anyone who has found something of worth here and I want to reassure you that I don't intend to leave this story to rest forever. It will be reborn from its ashes and bring with it new growth.Complete
