Kidnapped. Hunted. Desired by two enemies.
Ayla has lived her entire life on the quiet edge of the human realm, until her village is burned and she's taken by raiders into forbidden Fae lands.
Left for dead, she escapes into a forest thick with magic and monsters, only to fall into the hands of Riven, a cold and deadly Fae warrior who claims they're bound by fate.
He's not her savior. He's her jailer.
But when Ayla crosses paths with Kael - her best friend - he offers her safety, answers, and a chance to fight back.
Torn between Riven's dangerous pull and Kael's steady warmth, Ayla must choose between two very different paths... and survive long enough to walk either of them.
Because she's not just a lost girl. She's a human anomaly the Fae cannot control, and both sides want her for what she is.
Fate marked her.
But she'll decide how the story ends.

Crossing Boundaries
Seelie and Unseelie: two opposing fae courts with such a dark history that they've cut all ties between them. Affiliation with the other side in any way is high treason for both - the only difference is that those found guilty face banishment from the Seelie and death from the Unseelie. Luin left Seelie lands years ago, choosing exile rather than giving up on his Unseelie soul mate. Only, his soul mate never came and hope is harder to cling to with each passing year. A new path opens up to him, but it would mean giving up on his soul mate forever. Arrowan has been plotting an escape from his realm since the day he learned his soul mate is Seelie, but with tensions growing higher between the two courts, security is stronger than ever and even a rumor of trying to leave can get you killed. Before his carefully-constructed plan can come to fruition, he feels something terribly wrong with his soul bond and fears he might have run out of time.

The Silver Bond || MxM novel (ON HOLD)
In the fractured land of Nerathys, where humans and spirit-bound warriors once fought side by side, a fragile peace is maintained by ancient magic. The heir to the empire's throne of the empire Caelthar, Prince Kael, is taken captive after a failed rebellion. Instead of being executed, he is given as a blood-bound servant to Lord Arion, the cold and ruthless commander of the empire's ghostbound armies - soldiers fused with the souls of the dead. But Arion is not what he seems. Bound to a ghost named Lyra, he's cursed with both immense power and a growing madness. When Kael is forced to serve him, he discovers the truth: Arion's soul is fading, and only Kael's bloodline magic can keep him tethered to the world. As Kael struggles to survive, he discovers a terrifying truth: only his bloodline magic can keep Arion-and the empire itself-from unraveling. Will Kael make it out alive? Will he build a relationship of trust and friendship with the Lord or perhaps even something more? Or will it be the ruin of the only chance of fixing what should be right? *** Contains violence, strong language, and other mature themes. Read on your own risk!

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
