"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer.

The Dagger of Eden
In the heart of the crime-ridden Ancien City, Anjali Isa has mastered the art of stealth and murder. A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster. The Sila people possess unparalleled abilities and have closed their borders, leaving humans to suffer. Anjali's mission is simple: kill the prince and destabilize the kingdom. Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder. Fastus is unraveling from the inside out, and its once-glorious Tree of Vita, a sacred symbol of the kingdom's prosperity, begins to wither and die. Kal is desperate to uncover why the tree is dying and what dark force is eating away at his kingdom's lifeblood. With every passing day, secrets come to light, and enemies close in. Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.Complete

FIREFANGED
*I'm using Wattpad as a platform to do a complete make-over of my first novel, Firefanged, first published in 2020. I didn't know demon-slayers were a thing back then. I was more of an inner demon person, but I liked getting them out on the page. This book is the first installment of the nine-book Demon in Exile saga. I hope you like where it goes. In a remote city on the edge of the Kingdom of Colivar, a teenager named Ara encounters a demonic assassin and somehow survives. Not realizing the extent of the threat, he enlists with a company of demon slayers and comes to grips with a mysterious dark soul that shares his fight from within. The Demon in Exile Saga offers a blend of pain-filled action and twisted drama in a fantasy series where the characters are as strong as they are flawed and nothing is as it seems. Appropriate for Young Adult, New Adult, and Adult readers. A free revised version of this ebook is available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JLSTP5X
