He was her first love. Then he became her greatest betrayal.
Elira Vale is everything the Aurenyan army demands: disciplined, emotionless, unbreakable. She doesn't believe in softness - not when war has already stolen her parents, her childhood, and her peace.
Then Kael Thorne crashes into her regiment - reckless, defiant, and maddeningly charming. He's everything she can't stand... and everything she can't seem to stay away from.
Their love blooms in the shadows of bloodshed. Quiet. Fierce. Forbidden.
Until one night, he vanishes - taking military secrets with him and reappearing days later as the face of the enemy.
Now branded a traitor, Cassien leads raids against the very troops he once fought beside - against her. Elira swears to destroy him with her own hands.
But war is never black and white.
And the boy she now hunts might be the only one standing between survival and annihilation.
In a world where loyalty is death and love is treason, how do you kill the one person who taught you how to feel?

Fractured Sparks
Book One of the Aegis Duology 'He burns. She freezes. Together, they might destroy everything - including each other' Ryn Thorne has never fit the mold. Born with a power that burns and freezes in the same breath, she's a living contradiction - and the academy at Aegis knows it. Her Root makes her dangerous, unpredictable... and a perfect target. Kael Ashren was born for control - fire in his roots, pride in his bloodline, and a reputation for breaking anyone who challenges him. So when Ryn explodes into his world - stubborn, chaotic, and infuriatingly fearless - his carefully built walls begin to crack. As elemental storms stir beyond Aegis's walls and old secrets rise from the Rift, Ryn and Kael find themselves bound by something neither understands: a connection that could save the world... or tear it apart. But love between fire and frost has never ended without scars.
The Lycan's Flame
Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?Complete
