Haylie Winford is lowborn, clever, and fearless - qualities that make her a friend to Princess Leena, and a target for the cruelty of Alderen's royal family. When King Corland grants her family a place at court to please his beloved daughter, Haylie and her brother Cole are thrust into a world of gilded halls, whispered schemes, and hidden dangers.
At first, Haylie is dazzled by palace life, but she quickly discovers the sharp edge beneath the court's splendor. Queen Marsette and Princess Deidre are beautiful, charming, and terrifying in equal measure - and when they are alone with Haylie, their true cruelty is revealed.
Caught between a forbidden romance with the heir, Prince Elrick, and the advances of the charming Prince Lucas, Haylie must navigate jealousy, ambition, and deception. With only her wits and courage to protect her, she sees the court for what it truly is: a place where appearances deceive, power corrupts, and survival is never guaranteed.
In a kingdom ruled by privilege and poisoned by envy, Haylie must fight to protect herself, her family, and the friends she loves - all while discovering her own strength in a world that would rather see her as a bug that was meant to be squashed.

The trials of the Tyrant King
When the cold-hearted King Ethan Kim is forced to choose a queen, the kingdom braces for a politically-charged power match. Instead, they get Amara-a sweet, unassuming village girl who didn't sign up for royal chaos, especially not the Trial of Wives, a public contest judging candidates by beauty, honesty, and even how they handle money. Thrown into a palace full of secrets, etiquette, and expectation, Amara must prove herself worthy of the crown... while dodging sabotage, high society scorn, and her overwhelming feelings for the infuriatingly handsome tyrant she's supposed to marry. But it's not just her life that changes-Ethan, the fearsome ruler known for his icy demeanour and ruthless rule, finds himself unravelling at the hands of the one woman who dares to challenge him... and love him. Add to the mix Mia, Amara's fiercely protective little sister, who moves into the palace and becomes Ethan's worst nightmare-and secret source of amusement. From palace trials to cinnamon roll showdowns, from accidental sword fights to awkward in-law visits, this is a story of love found in the most unexpected places-and the royal madness that comes with it. A romantic comedy of power, pride, and pastry theft, The Trials of the Tyrant King is a heartwarming, slow-burn tale about sisters, crowns, and learning to rule a kingdom... together.Complete

A failed and cruel scheme exposes the cracks in the kingdom's perfect façade, forcing Evie to see the court for what it truly is-a place of power, rivalry, and hidden dangers. One discovery will leave her questioning not only her place beside Henry, but the cost of holding on to him. A continuation of the story, Evangeline.Complete
Veil of the Hallow Heart
In the moonlit kingdom of Lunaris, emotions are buried beneath layers of silence and duty.

Princes from every corner of the continent come to win her hand-but none can melt her cold indifference. For Lirael, love is a word spoken often but never understood. She once asked her mother what happiness felt like. The answer never came. But when two new royal guards arrive-young men from a distant village-and a soft-spoken maid with warm hands is assigned to serve her, the silent world Lirael has always known begins to tremble. Among them is Caelan Thorne, a loyal guard whose heart belongs to another-his childhood friend Selene, now the princess's maid. Selene, however, has eyes only for someone else: Rowan, the charming second guard who doesn't know how much she's always meant to her. And in the quiet spaces between duty and longing, Lirael begins to feel something unfamiliar. Something warm. Something painful. Something that just might be love.Complete
