In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by the aftermath of a devastating global conflict, survival is a daily struggle. Earth, now a desolate wasteland plagued by incessant bombings, scarce resources, and the specter of imminent mortality, presents a grim reality.
Amidst this chaos, Jack, a battle-weary veteran haunted by the memories of a tragic incident that cost him his arm, returns to his shattered homeland. The scars etched on his body are a constant reminder of the horrors he endured. Determined to bring justice to a lawless society, Jack embarks on a relentless quest to uncover the sinister truth behind a web of crimes that plague their nation.
As he joins forces with a band of tenacious investigators, they unravel a labyrinthine conspiracy that reaches the darkest corners of their dystopian world. Their pursuit leads them to the enigmatic "Temple of Dawn," an elusive organization suspected of orchestrating the nefarious activities that threaten their fragile existence.

"They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all." It's funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn't make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn't he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That's why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he's in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn't his first life and if he doesn't free her from her prison, it won't be his last.

Hear Me: An Omega's Tale
After spending over half of my life trapped in a place that can only be described as hell, I managed to escape, fleeing into the forest with the moon's light as my only guide. That is until they find me. My mates, my saviours, my monsters. They care for me, show me that all I had been taught about their kind had been nothing but lies, nurture me back to health, worship my body, and place my broken pieces back together one shard at a time. Alec, Ivan, and Xander already have an omega of their own, James, my sweet James who accepts and wants me just as much as his domineering alphas do. But as the secrets of my past threaten to destroy the peace we've built, I'm left with a choice too hard to face. Do I go before the darkness chasing me consumes the ones I've come to love? Or do I let them protect me, as they have always promised they would? (FYI, this is an OMEGAVERSE story, not a werewolf one.)

The Arrangement (Omegas of Hunter's Point Book 1)
TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual assault/violence against women Siobhan - I was raised to believe I was special, a jewel, all because of simple trick of genetics. I am an omega. As such, my life was mapped out from birth - mate an alpha of good family, have his children, keep his home - until my future was snatched away from me. Against all odds, I've built a life for myself in a society that now tells me I am worthless. As an unmated omega, my options are limited, but I can no longer afford to accept those limits. Then, an alpha walks into my life - an alpha the old me used to dream about - and he has the money to make my dreams come true. But what will he want in return? Damian - I am everything society expects an alpha to be: rich, handsome, and successful. I want nothing more than to adopt my newly-orphaned nephew, but the courts say that a lone alpha is too rough to be a caregiver. I need a mate, someone softer, someone fit to raise a child, someone to help me fake it just long enough to get custody. It'll take a miracle. What I need is an omega who doesn't want a mate. I never expected to meet her in a nightclub... #1 in AlphaandOmega 9/28/2021, 10/7-11/2022, 11/22-29/2022, 8/14/2024, 2/18/2025, 6/3-11/2025, 6/24-7/3/2025 #1 in Omegaverse 5/7/2022, 4/11/2023, 7/27-28/2024 #1 in Modern 6/10-13, 16-19/2022, 1/17-27/2025, 1/31-2/1/2025 #1 in Knotting 10/8/2022, 10/17/2023, 6/25-27/2025, 11/25/2025 #1 in Estrus 8/23/2023, 9/7-18/2023, 11/30-2/19/2024 #1 in Alpha 10/12-13/2023 #1 in Omega 10/12-13/2023 #1 in Contemporary Romance 12/7-8/2023, 12/10-20/2023 #1 in PNR 1/2-5/2024, 7/31-8/20/2024, 10/9-10/2024, 10/28-12/6/2024, 9/30/2025-10/1-29/2025 #1 in Heats 1/7-18/2024, 1/24-2/13/2024 #1 in Fake Marriage 5/13-15/2024 #1 in AlphaxOmega 5/30-6/1/2024, 5/10/2025 #1 in Nesting 1/18/2026 #1 in Matebond 3/28-29/2026Complete
The Forsaken Spire
A single, towering city rises from a vast, lifeless wasteland-a remnant of an ancient war that shattered the world. The Spire is surrounded by a powerful storm barrier, keeping the horrors outside at bay. It is said that beyond the storm, the land is overrun by Wraithborn-once-humans mutated into relentless, armored behemoths that feed on the energy of the living. The city's elite defenders, known as the Stormguard, wear specialized gauntlets that allow them to channel the energy of the storm itself, generating electrical blades and explosive force to combat the Wraithborn. Their training is brutal, as only those who can withstand the gauntlet's power without being consumed by it survive. When a young Stormguard recruit uncovers an ancient map hinting at a second, hidden city beyond the storm, everything they thought they knew about their world is thrown into question. Are they truly the last survivors? Or has the Spire's ruling council been keeping a terrible secret for generations?Complete
