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
HYBRID: Cursed to Darkness
Once, Jaxon was only a boy of the woods-growing up beside Erie, chasing childhood adventures beneath the moonlight, and dreaming of a future untouched by war. But destiny is cruel. Fire consumed his world, leaving him with nothing but grief, rage, and the curse of his bloodline. Born a werewolf, Jaxon sharpened his pain into steel. With blades forged in sacred fire, he hunted the children of the night-turning vampire hearts to ash and carving his name into legend. For decades, he walked as a shadow, immortal and relentless, feared by monsters and revered by men. But his war drew the attention of Valeria, the immortal Vampire Queen. Beautiful, cunning, and merciless, she ensnared Jaxon in chains of blood and desire. Turned against his will, he became the very thing he despised-neither wolf nor vampire, but something darker. Something more. A Hybrid. Now, trapped between two worlds, Jaxon must wrestle with his hunger, his rage, and the dangerous seduction of power. The line between love and damnation blurs as kingdoms rise, wars ignite, and shadows whisper of a prophecy that only he can fulfill. In the end, will Jaxon master the curse within him-or be consumed by it?

Sun's Shadow (Dusk Series - Book 3.5)
Obsession is the height of passion, but what does one do when they find themselves enthralled with their enemy. Talamayas Sol loses his mother when he stumbles upon a mage in the deserts of his territory, and he is plunged into a despair he's never known. Stricken with grief, he imprisons the murderer and wipes out every last mage of the Song-a human supremacist mage family that had murdered his kind for nothing more than the joy of their extinction. Through his pain, Talamayas finds himself leaning on the man in his dungeons, be it only to torture him for the relief it grants. It was anger at first, but as he learns more about the circumstances of his mother's death and the terrors that fill Wren Song's nightmares, he is inescapably tethered to the man in his dungeons. Why can't he just kill Wren Song and move on with his life? What keeps him close to the mage and anxious when he leaves his side? Is there more to it than obsession and a need to crush the enemy of his past? If there is, what does that mean for him and his people? Take a step back to the start and follow Talamayas Sol and Wren song through their struggle in the deserts of the east.
