Irie Campbell didn't move to Tokyo to fall in love - she moved to teach, to start over, and to prove to herself she could build a life somewhere nobody knew her name. Then a foul ball at a baseball game lands her face-to-face with Japan's most famous player, and weeks later, an anonymous late-night chat with a stranger online becomes the one place she feels truly seen. She has no idea it's him. He has no idea the "new teacher" everyone's been talking about is her. When the truth comes out, their connection is real - but the world isn't always kind to a Jamaican woman falling for Japan's golden boy. Strike Zone is a story about love that crosses oceans, language, and everything people think you're not supposed to be together.

Moonfall | Book Two
As the moon hung high, casting its light upon them all, No sooner than its rise, did that moon and its light fall. *** For the past year, Michael has lived in the shadow of loss. Unable to shake the guilt of not saving his older brother, grief haunts him, and to make things worse, a recurring dream of a mysterious girl will not let him go. When that dream leads him to the once forbidden Woodlands, Michael makes a chilling discovery: a living Fae. Not only should her presence be impossible as her people no longer inhabited this world, it is dangerous-especially for Michael's mother, whose aid in the Fae's escape would be deemed as treason by the pack and his father, the ruthless Alpha. To protect his mother, Michael decides to smuggle the fairy to the new Fae world before anyone discovers her. To do that, he enlists the help of the Witches-his best friend Zanna, in particular-despite the high tensions between the Wolves and Witches while both are fighting to claim the abandoned Woodlands. And if he cannot ensure neither side's claims is successful, the fairy will be exposed along with his mother's secret. But protecting the fairy comes at a price. Michael wants to hate her, but finds himself drawn to her in ways that do not make sense. Ways that threaten his mission and his heart. And with a forced betrothal looming over him, falling for the fairy is absolutely not an option. Torn between loyalty and truth, duty and heart, Michael must decide who he is: the Alpha's only remaining heir, the grieving brother, his mother's protector, or someone else entirely. Because the Woodlands are stirring again, and his choice could bring either ruin or redemption.Complete
