The secret of Inframia
Mystic Vale School of Learning, a high school for fairies in the land of Inframia, yearly organizes a school trip meant for students to acquire new knowledge about Inframia's history and culture. Every time, the location is different and this one is not the exception. Most of Mystic Vale's students find themselves excited when the announcement comes out with the news the they're being taken to Colored forest. No previous generation of high schoolers has had the privilege of going to such an important place for fairies, so these consider themselves lucky. Unfortunately, these are no good news for Sophia Shiloh once an incident that's happened in school makes her change her mind about going to the trip. She is forced by her parents to go, though, Demian Shiloh and Astoria Kalil, two of the richest habitants of Inframia. With her dad being a human descendant and her mom completely fairy, Sophia's features let almost everyone who sees her know she's half-human; round ears, light brown skin and no powers at all. Little does she know that, to finally win her place in Inframia and stand out on her own like she's always wished to, she'll have to unravel the mystery that surrounds Colored Forest and be able to complete a mysterious prophecy that not only includes her, but perhaps a whole generation of humans before her.

Bloom & Blood (Intersex)
In a world where loyalty is currency and power is everything, two women from opposite sides of life collide in a slow-burn love story laced with danger, healing, and passion. Siena Vale is a soft-hearted, resilient young woman trying to rebuild a quiet life after the death of her parents. With her teenage sister Lila depending on her, Siena puts her own dreams on hold, working multiple jobs and living in a cramped apartment with two close friends. Beneath her calm surface is a girl who's been through hell-especially with her ex-boyfriend Ethan, who started sweet but turned abusive and obsessive. Even after she left him, he continues to stalk and torment her, turning her daily life into a nightmare. Everything changes when Siena lands a job as a secretary at a private firm with intimidating luxury and tight security. It's there she meets Kingston "King" Moretti-a dominant, suited mafia stud with sharp eyes, quiet control, and a reputation soaked in blood and respect. Known as "The Stud King" in the underground world, King is a woman who commands fear in every room she enters-fierce, calculated, and unshakable. But beneath her tailored armor is a deeply private soul who's used to protecting everyone but herself. Siena is unlike anyone King has ever encountered-gentle, kind, and utterly unfazed by power. She's not afraid to speak up, even when her voice shakes. Her softness challenges King's cold world. And when King discovers the shadows chasing Siena-an ex who won't let go-her instinct is immediate and fierce: "Nobody hurts what's mine." What starts as protection evolves into something deeper. Sparks fly in the quiet glances, in late-night talks, in the way Siena softens King's hardened edges. But love doesn't come easy in a world like King's. As enemies close in and Ethan grows more dangerous, Siena finds herself caught between the peaceful life she wanted-and the dangerously beautiful woman who makes her feel truly safe for the first time.Complete
Siena (Forestfolk, Book 1)
Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!Complete

The curse doomed the 20th generation of these guardians to die early and mysteriously, no matter how strong or special they were. Now, their children-the 21st generation-are left to deal with the heavy burden of their parents' past.Complete
