Before God, there was her.
Everleigh was the first flame - the woman the garden tried to forget. Cast out for defying creation itself, she wandered through centuries of ash and silence, birthing faith, fury, and love in equal measure. Every age she has lived, she's rebuilt what the gods destroyed. Every lifetime, she's lost the one soul she cannot live without.
Now, in a world of glass towers and burning skies, the cycle begins again.
Christian Hale - orphan, outcast, and haunted by dreams of crucifixion - carries scars that no mortal fire could make. When his anger shatters light and language, he draws the attention of a substitute teacher who knows his face too well. Eve Rowan is no ordinary woman. She is Everleigh, wearing another name, and he is the reborn son she has found and lost across lifetimes.
But love is no longer the only war being waged.
Adam walks the earth again - wearing a billionaire's smile, gathering disciples, and seeking the child who will unmake him. The old gods stir beneath the storm, and Eve must summon the five elemental wives she once bound to her cause: fire, shadow, wind, soil, and sea.
Together, they will stand between the divine and the damned - and decide whether creation deserves to begin again.
The Godless War is a haunting, mythic fantasy of rebirth, rebellion, and the love that endures after heaven burns.

Frozen Fear Book. 2
{Completed} Highest Ranking: #9 in Fantasy (02/01/17) Book. 2 Mab was as magnificent and alluring as always, her skin as pale as porcelain in the silvery moonlight. Her hair was a sterling gray, a curtain of silk running over her shoulders and down to her naval, her black dress a startling yet marvelous contrast to her pale beauty. I was captivated, for a moment, by the weight of her piercing gaze. I could see the years she lived there, the weight of the loss she'd endured, the heaviness of immortality. But yet, her stare didn't hold as much power as it used too. Not only could I see her burden, but I could see the fear of dying. ------------ Freak. Mutt. Half-Breed. Eve Scotts has left the Winter Palace in shackles with Sebastian, whose memories were wiped clean, stumbling beside her. But she can't forget everything she'd left behind: her people who desperately need her - to save them from her cruel mother, Mab, and a certain elven knight that made her question everything - Foster Quinn. He helped her in her time of need, and involuntarily, she fell for him. Determined to save Foster from her mother's evil clutches, Eve must convince Akan Ford and the rest of the Order to allow her to slip back into Tir Na Nog to steal her mothers amulet, and retrieve Sebastian's memories. And possibly end the devastating reign of Queen Mab. But there's a problem. Eve's guilt is eating her alive. She just can't get over killing Sebastian's sister. A storm is brewing, thick and heavy and the secrets hidden by both sides are as shocking as they are deadly. This electrifying next novel in the Wicked Winter Chronicles goes into more depth of the hatred between witch and fae, and sets Eve against the darkness that has grown on her soul like a plague.

A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory.

Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
Shadow Breeds
Book 1 of The Shadow Series. Myths, that's what the humans called it, but for Ashe it quickly became her reality. Her life changing transformation narrowed her paths down to two; She could either embrace her fates and save the people she's grown to love, or she can walk away and live a somewhat normal life while others suffer the consequences. How far is she willing to go to create peace where there's never been any? Will she even create peace? Or will she help encourage the most brutal war the Shadow Realms have ever experienced? Several years of Asheland's childhood had disappeared from her memory. She assumed it was her brain trying to protect her from a traumatic event, although that's true it's not exactly what she expected and her brain wasn't necessarily the cause. After being homeless until she was sixteen years old, then living in a boat dock for four years, she had finally found her home in a cottage in the near-by mountains of Wolf Creek. Everything seemed to be going well. However, as a list of secrets begin unraveling when Ashe gives in to her overwhelming urges to visit the island that terrified almost every citizen in Wolf Creek, her life becomes more complicated than she could've ever imagined. All of this just because she was turning twenty-one. Nothing was as it had ever seemed. * excerpt from the book * { "Why do you make such reckless, impulsive decisions?" The old man asked as we watched the moon. "The world could end tomorrow and everyone expects me to live in fear today? There's no life to live inside the box of fear, there's no freedom in there," I replied softly. }Complete

My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE)
She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.

For she is no mere human - she is the lost Muse, born again, carrying in her blood the power to free or destroy him.

When Naomi Blackwood rises from her grave in the heart of New Orleans, the clock in her gold pocket watch begins to tick again-for the first time since the moment of her death in the 1800s. Her resurrection wasn't an accident. It was a trigger. Human blood spilled across her grave, awakening her from eternal sleep and setting something ancient in motion. Naomi doesn't remember who killed her or why, but she's certain of one thing: she wasn't meant to stay dead. Now she roams a world she doesn't recognize, wrapped in mystery, power, and an old hunger for answers. But she's not the only one stirred by her return. Her awakening has rippled through the supernatural underworld-unearthing forces that were never meant to rise. Old powers are watching. Some want her restored. Others want her silenced. Then there's Ivy-a modern woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Naomi's long-lost love. But Ivy is no echo of the past. She's sharp, skeptical, and entirely her own. As the two women unravel the mystery behind Naomi's death and the strange magic pulling them together, something deeper sparks between them-something Naomi hasn't felt in over a century. Naomi was brought back for a reason. But to find out why, she'll have to uncover the truth about her past, face the darkness that's followed her into the present, and decide whether she's here for revenge, redemption... or something far more dangerous.Complete
