After months of drifting from place to place, Elena stops in the small town of Ashwood, desperate for some peace and quiet. But peace is the last thing she finds. The town carries secrets that press against her with every step, and at the center of it all is Ezra, a dark, guarded man whose hostility toward her feels almost personal.
The longer Elena stays, the stranger everything becomes. The town isn't what it seems, Ezra isn't who he pretends to be, and the shadows of her past may not be as far behind her as she thought. Because buried somewhere in Ashwood is the truth about her father's unsolved murder and the reason fate refuses to let her go.

Blooded Mate
[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them. Soft, sensual victories within the sheets are as just as important as the hard-won, blood-filled ones on a gory forest floor. And failure on any battlefield could mean a slow, painful death. A/N -Warning This is a gay-themed novel with some fighting. So there will be intense scenes both in bed and out of it. If you are not a fan of boyxboy action, then this novel is not for you. PS.

The surface is a wasteland of ash, storms, and death.... or so everyone's been told. Kael Draven once enforced the Dominion's will.

But when he discovers a secret operation to release a new toxin across the wasteland, Kael realizes the air isn't poison... it's being poisoned. To stop the Dominion, he'll have to cross the dead lands- and he can't do it alone. Lyra Vance has survived her whole life out here. Reckless, volatile, and untamed, she's the kind of woman who'd rather burn the world than bow to it. She doesn't trust Kael, She shouldn't. But when their paths collide, survival forces an alliance neither wants- and sparks a war that could change everything. In a world built on ashes and secrets, trust is dangerous. Love is lethal. And the truth could kill them both. ASHFALL - Where the sky burns, and the survivors are the ones who learn how to fight back.

In a quiet town, a girl grows up carrying secrets she doesn't understand- a chest, an old book of folklore, and eyes that seem to echo someone she's never met. She only knows that shadows follow her steps, and danger lingers where she least expects. At the same time, two strangers cross paths. Drawn together, bound by something beyond this life, they cannot explain why every glance feels like remembering. As darkness stirs again, old bloodlines awaken. And the past is not done with them yet.

Shadows of the Heart
He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.
