Book Two
The first battle for the Hollow-Born is over-yet no one has won.
Lyra Ashbourne has awakened as the Daughter of Ash, and the shockwave of her becoming has split every realm down the middle. Heaven scrambles to contain what it cannot control. Hell fractures under the weight of loyalty, fear, and prophecy. And in the dark beyond both thrones, Erebus-First Darkness, finally whole-begins gathering an army powerful enough to erase creation.
The mortal world burns. Billions vanish. Prayer turns feral.
And every scream feeds the coming war.
If balance is to be restored, Alastor-Prince of Hell, executioner, and avenger-will need more than blades and shadows. He will need his iron-blooded brother. An angel who dared to touch what Hell claims as its own. A lover who has transcended into something terrible and divine. And Jasper-the Shadow God-whose devotion has never been clean, and whose motives have never been safe.
Vows will be tested. Oaths will break. Fate's threads will be cut.
And when the realms finally choose their sides, love may be the most dangerous weapon left.
Because this time, the enemy isn't Heaven.
It isn't Hell.
It's the thing that made them both.
New chapters will begin releasing January 2026.
The countdown to reckoning starts now.

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

Forbidden: Lost
BOOK TWO IN A SERIES!!! Lost - in her mind. She was found, beaten bloody in the middle of the desert, without the memory that she was once Batibat; Demoness of Nightmares. All she knew was that she was a woman and she loved a man, and he thought she was a gift. Lost - in his heart As an angel, he was forbidden a relationship with humans. That was fine. He lived in the ass-crack of nowhere. There was no one to have a relationship with. Then, he found her. His Thea. His gift from God. His express ticket to the hell he was trying to save humanity from. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished - In a surprise attack, Thea's mind and Vangelis's heart lay bare and their world will never be the same. THE OPENING SCENE IS VIOLENT! This is my warning! There is nothing graphic or detailed, but sexual assault is implied. WARNING. THIS IS BOOK TWO IN A SERIES. I highly recommend finding Forbidden: Broken under my profile. The story CAN be read by itself, but the book assumes that you know about what happened in book one in regards to characters and backstory. THERE WILL BE SEXY TIME INVOLVED!!!Complete

A witch with dormant powers. A vampyr imprisoned for centuries. A destiny that could save or doom them both. Viola never meant to awaken him. One accidental spell, and she unleashes Matic-an exiled half-demon vampyr with eyes like winter's edge and a voice that drips temptation and damnation.

Because Matic doesn't just promise protection. He offers oblivion. As Samhain nears and the veil between realms thins, ancient blood rites begin to stir. Devoted worshippers rise to complete broken rituals, shadows hunger for their master's return-and Viola begins to unravel, drawn deeper into the magnetic pull of a monster who doesn't just haunt her... he claims her. And when truths buried in ash rise from the grave, Viola must face the one question that could shatter her: Is the real danger the demon beside her... or the darkness awakening within her?

Forbidden: Tormented
This one is really hard to describe, but, I'll try. Having abandoned his brother, Valafar struggles to hang on to his sanity. A struggle that slips further and further away the more his voices talk to him. Far to savage to hope for his own salvation in the hands of an angel, he's simply waiting for the blood lust to take him. Eloa lives by a strict code. Help whoever she can and make sure no one remembers her. As the angel of compassion, it's easy to follow that code. Until the one that she is trying to help, hurts her. She's kind. He's not. It's a match made in hell. OKAY!!!! WARNING! (outside of my usual) VALAFAR HAS ISSUES AND PUSHES SOME BOUNDARIES. IF YOU ARE EASILY TRIGGERED, TURN BACK NOW! This is a paranormal romance, though, at time, you may say "really?". I understand. THERE WILL BE SEXY TIME. And, believe it or not, I THINK this one is mostly edited... THIS IS BOOK THREE. If you haven't read the first two, you won't know who the character are, but SHOULD be able to follow along the story. However, I still recommend going back and starting with Forbidden: BrokenComplete

"Eenack Warriors are taught from a young age to not show pain, emotion, or give away their feelings. Especially female." "What does this signify then?" Kratos asked as he lifted me up. I no longer fought, the cuffs held me in place from the foreign weight. He held me close to him, his lips kissing the top of my head. I felt none of it, for all I felt was my pain and agony. I cried, my body shaking as the next words were spoken. None could be more true. "You've broken her, Sire. You've broken her spirit. And that, my Lord, is the fatal move of a blade into their heart." he whispered. ____ After being taken away from her family and home in the water lands of the far off floating lands, Vixas was sold to the pleasure house.
