In the quiet, forgotten town of Crowsmoor, Lottie's journey begins.
Haunted by the disappearance of her father and the cruel shadows of her past, twenty-year-old Lottie sets out on a perilous quest to find the one person she's always loved-and the only person who can unravel the mystery of her family's broken history. With nothing but a faded letter and a world of questions, she journeys through a land steeped in ancient secrets and unspoken dangers.
But Lottie's quest isn't just about finding her father-it's about uncovering the deep, hidden truths of her own heart. Along the way, she forms a connection with a stranger who, like her, is bound by the chains of fate. Together, they must navigate a world where love and loss are intertwined, and where every step forward brings new risks and revelations.
As whispers of banshees, restless spirits, and ancient forces cloud her path, Lottie finds herself torn between the truth she seeks and the heart she's beginning to trust. Will she uncover the truth of her past-and discover a love that could change everything-or will the darkness she faces consume both her heart and her future?
An epic tale of love, loss, and fate, The Lost and the Bound is a journey into a world where the past and the supernatural collide, and where even the strongest bonds are tested by the forces of destiny.

BOUND (1 of 3)
Arabella Christensen has always known how to survive. Raised in the wreckage of a broken home and trapped in a cycle of addiction, Bella has learned to keep her heart locked behind sarcasm, ink-stained skin, and a lifetime of bad decisions. She's used to the ache, the chaos, the pull of men who promise everything and leave her emptier than before. Then, there's Dylan Barrett. Her best friend. Her what-if. A tattooed twenty-something with too much charm, too many secrets, and a heart that beats louder than he'll admit. Dylan is all mystery and rough edges, but he's someone who sees her when she can barely look at herself. Someone who stays, even when she gives him every reason not to. As Bella fights to stay clean and build a future that doesn't burn her alive, she finds herself caught between the man who's always had her heart, the past that refuses to let go, and the terrifying possibility that love might not be a lie after all. In a world where survival has always meant staying untouchable, can Bella learn to be held? Raw, emotional, and deeply human, Bound is the first book in a gripping character-driven trilogy about trauma, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to let go-even when everything else does.Complete

In the quiet supernatural town of Stonebrook, Mara Hale-wolf-born and stubborn as hell-has always been more at home with the abandoned animals she shelters than the whispers of fate that trail her bloodline.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete

Bound by blood and separated by fate, Cassie Blackwood and Dean Winchester are caught in a war that stretches beyond Heaven and Hell - into something far older, darker, and far less forgiving. Held captive in a vineyard cloaked in shadow, Cassie is forced to use the magic she never asked for - the gift of the Hedge - to find and open the ancient doors that keep the worlds in balance. Each one she unlocks brings her closer to freedom... and closer to ruin. Half a world away, Dean hunts through dust and nightmares, guided only by the fading pulse of the tether that still links them. Every mile, every breath, pulls him deeper into her darkness - and closer to a truth that could unmake them both. But when the bond between them begins to change, it awakens something neither Heaven's wrath nor Hell's fire can contain. Because love forged in blood doesn't fade - it transforms. And some chains aren't meant to be broken... They're meant to be crowned in shattered veins.Complete
