Prey for the Wicked

Every century, the fae declare a Harvest-a royal decree that each prince and court-favored hunter must return with a mortal-or something magical. The rules are older than crowns: no blood on the ring, no body carried across, the foot must choose the door.
The fae lands have been dwindling for years. This year, the land is thin... and three hunters-flinty Thorne, charming Micah, and calculating Blaine-step through a fairy ring in the Appalachian woods to claim their prize.
They find Kaida, Emery, and Lou instead.
The Harvest is more than tradition; it's strategy. Old politics are waking, and doors remember who opened them. As sparks fly (and not only from blades), both sides must decide what they're willing to trade: pride, power, or the people they can't bear to lose.
Wicked has always been a point of view.
This time, the girls get one of their own.

The Coven of Three
Salem burned its witches. The world forgot their names. But the prophecy never died. Three women, strangers yet bound by fate, rise from water, earth, and fire. Their magic is both salvation and ruin, their unity both weapon and curse. In a world where hunters wear charm like a blade, and shadows breathe with ancient hunger, the coven must decide-will they heal the ages, or end them? Long before the gallows of Salem, a prophecy was whispered-of three witches bound not by blood, but destiny. Water, Earth, and Fire. Alone, they would falter. Together, they could save the world... or destroy it. Selena Waters, the mother of storms. Rowena Knight, the keeper of roots. Liliana Hayes, the fire that consumes. They did not yet know each other, but dreams and omens were already weaving their paths together. And in the shadows, the witch hunters waited-men cloaked in leather and charm, their beauty as dangerous as their blades. The storm was coming. And beneath the cold gaze of the moon, the Coven of Three would soon awaken.Completa

Faced with an adversary beyond belief, the duo will seek a way to confront it, even if it requires... questionable methods beyond their dogmas. One is tired of the work and the deaths. The other, as a fanatic, is unwilling to stop at nothing. Excessive faith on one hand, lack of conviction on the other. Can two such opposing ideals unite against the enemy and make it to the end together? Or will this just be the beginning of their journey?

Laurel and Bone
-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving.

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.Completa
