SEQUEL TO WITHIN DARKNESS
“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell” – Oscar Wilde
It is said in China that it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
But what if the darkness smothered the candle?
What if you never possessed a candle in the first place?
Flair has stepped fully into the world that rests just beyond the one we know. She has proven herself strong, brave and intelligent. But sometimes that is not enough. Flair has left the light behind her and when you’re the living dead, it’s difficult to hold onto your own. She must try not to succumb to the darkness that not only surrounds her but also lives within.
And while she struggles not to lose everything that made Mary Smith special, another much older shadow is moving swiftly closer. A shadow that terrifies even the Vampire Council.
Will Flair be strong enough to halt the growing darkness? Will she be able to stop it taking those she cares about? Most importantly, will she want to?
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

The creatures followed the team as they fled back to Earth. With an ominous warning, Earth prepared for war. As they all suspected, humans lost. The survivors fled to their sister planet, Centauri Asaris. They began their new life. When it seemed that the demons would never find the humans, the creatures showed up.

Within Darkness
“Immortality is not a gift, Immortality is an achievement; And only those who strive mightily shall possess it” - Edgar Lee Would you be willing to walk in the valley of the shadow of death? Or would you go even further by not merely crossing the valley fleetingly but lingering amongst that same shadow, refusing to pass on? Discover a world that seems to be defined by how ruthless and bloodthirsty you are, for it is in this world that Mary Smith must uncover the truth behind the massacres that the powers that be hide and the public wilfully ignores. It is said that ignorance is bliss but some people cannot afford to accept that blindness. Mary Smith must find the hunter before the killer decides that her and her family would make the next tasty snack... In this world of Cimmerian shade, perhaps you'd even come to realise that within shadow - within darkness - there is light and that sometimes, like ignorance, immortality might not be a choice.Complete

FINAL GATE (#3 GHOST PORTAL series)
If you're told you're the only one who can save the world, would you volunteer your life to do it? ***** All hell is breaking loose--literally. Long-lost realms that were sealed up are opening, and centuries-old creatures are escaping, all hungry to feed on humans and create worldwide chaos. It's Avery's fault, of course; but his sacrifices are too hard and his wounds too deep to put all the blame on him. But, as usual, the solution rests on his shoulders. Jessamine has her role to play, too. If you thought she was resting on her laurels, living a passive life in the demon realm--think again. She's about to encounter blasts from the past and learn more about this world than she ever thought she would. With both of them confined within their respective realms, they'll have to team up with foes and former lovers to protect Earth from the monsters seeking to invade and destroy it. But is there really a happy ending waiting for them if they succeed? Or will there always be the threat of other realms looming over their heads?Complete
A Pet for the Dragons
❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates
