Vikingrune Academy 2: The Serpent's Shadow

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 22:20:39 +0200

I've been stolen from the academy I worked my entire life to get to…

Ain't that a bitch? Captured by the humans' most hated enemy: Elves. They've been gone from Midgard for centuries, and now they decide to come back? Sometimes life is a real ass-kicker.

But hey, at least my magic finally decided to show up. Turns out I'm a pretty damn good runeshaper, too. All those countless hours of training without having magic at my fingertips really paid off.

Before being abducted by the pointy-ears, I made brutal discoveries at Vikingrune. The villains who destroyed my family name are closer than I thought. A vision showed me that maybe the elves aren't the Big Bads of humanity, and the call is coming from within the house.

I came to the academy to execute a murderous plan… but then life happened. I met friends, lovers, allies, rivals. Now, I'll do whatever I must to get back to them and warn them of the real threat against us all.

(The Serpent's Shadow is book two in the Vikingrune Academy series. Things heat up in this paranormal romance, on the battlefield, in the bedroom, and everywhere else. Ravinica is strong, her men are dastardly, and the hits keep coming. Be sure to check the trigger warnings, please.)

Queen of Sherwood (Robin Hood and Her Merciless Men Book 3)

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 12:35:33 +0300

I've been accepted as the leader of the Merry Men. Now I have to take down all our enemies without losing myself to the darkness.

I fear I may be turning evil. I'm having dangerous thoughts. Too much time spent with the Merry Men, perhaps. Luckily, my mates are reunited, and they vow to help me.

With new money and new allies, the Merry Men are ready to evoke change across the land. But our adversaries are legion, and the fight will be brutal.

Templar Knights have arrived from the Crusade and feel entitled to own any land they wish. We won't make it easy for them. The mastermind behind the slaving operation is a stunning revelation that's hard to stomach. Closer to home, Maid Marian has reemerged. Her new position boils my blood.

Sheriff George is quiet, but I know he's plotting the demise of our rebellion. He's already wounded one of our own, and I won't let him get away with it. Then there's Sir Guy of Gisborne. I don't know what that cunning man is scheming, only that I don't trust him.

Our enemies are at the gates, and they're all somehow connected. To bring peace to Nottinghamshire and the Merry Men, we have to stop all of them.

So where do we start?

Author's Note: Queen of Sherwood is the final book in this fantasy romance retelling of Robin Hood and the Merry Men. Robin has come into her own as a fiery queen, surrounded by supportive, violent, merciless kings. Please heed the trigger warnings, as this series gets dark.

Huntress of Sherwood (Robin Hood and Her Merciless Men Book 2)

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 15:44:37 +0300

Sherwood Forest is more ruthless than ever, and I have to fight to stay ahead of the hunt.

Little John is missing. With the leader of the Merry Men gone, morale is dying. Someone has to fill his huge shoes.

I've been elected as boss, but leading is not as easy as I hoped it would be. Many of the men won't follow a woman. At least Will, Alan, and Tuck always have my back. But we need Little John back. Our group has a gaping hole in it without him.

Which means finding him. I'll do whatever I need to get him back: scheming, extorting, and yes, killing.

While hunting for clues of Little John's whereabouts, something else is going on in the forest around us. Younglings are being shipped around. Rebellion is afoot, and it's not us.

I want to turn our gang of bandits into a community of revolutionaries. But we not only need more people to join us, we need the right people to join us. Because like it or not, a fight with Sir Guy of Gisborne, Sheriff George of Nottingham, and even Prince John himself is coming.

If we aren't ready for it, we're dead.

Author's Note: Huntress of Sherwood is book two in my dark romantasy, genderbent retelling of Robin Hood, where Robin is a fiery heroine, and the Merry Men are her obsessed, ruthless champions. With graphic scenes of violence and sex, I urge you to read the trigger warnings.

Shadowblade Academy 3: Darkness Falls

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 14:11:09 +0200

I didn't realize what I had until my four sexy troublemakers were snatched away from me.

Demons have captured me. Now I'm losing my mind in a cell with my own flesh and blood as my prison warden. My four Glovemates were forced to flee, and I feel dreadfully alone. But I know they haven't given up on me.

Strange things are afoot in the demon prison. My thoughts have gone wicked and violent. At night, eerie moans echo through the dark halls, besieging my senses. An attractive demon watches over me, and I'm not sure how long I can resist his advances in my weakened state.

War is stirring all around—outside the prison, inside my head. I should have never come to this glorious forest because everything I touch seems to wilt.

I worry the darkness haunting me is only the first stage in my transformation. All I can do is fight my inner demons and hope my mates get to me before it's too late.

(DARKNESS FALLS is the third book in the Shadowblade Academy series. Darker and steamier than ever before, Coralia must battle her demons both inside and out, while falling deeper in love with her four mates: Sunny, Quentin, Dax, and Venn.)

Daughter of Sherwood (Robin Hood and Her Merciless Men Book 1)

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 21:25:58 +0300

Darkness lies in Sherwood Forest, and it's calling to me…

It's not a good time to be a woman in Nottingham. Besides oppressive taxes, I have to contend with a sick mother, a cruel father, and pushy suitors nipping at my heels. Even as an heiress, I'm imprisoned by my lot in life.

I'd rather be a man—gambling with guttersnipe boys, free from the shackles of my aristocratic duties. Dreaming of living in Sherwood Forest, on the edge of our estate.

With my hood pulled low, I pretend to be just that: a man.

I should have been more careful what I wished for.

When my family is attacked by a violent gang of bandits, my dream of a free life in the woods becomes my nightmare. I'm thrust from an imaginative prison to a real one.

There's nothing merry about these so-called "Merry Men." They're savage. Feral. They see me as nothing more than a prize—leverage to use against men who are even worse than they are.

How long can I go before they discover the secret under my hood? What will happen when they find out I'm not the young lordling they think I am?

I must escape their clutches. And yet . . . can I really give up this exciting glimpse of twisted freedom to return to a mundane life of fealty and duty in my ivory tower?

Author's Note: Daughter of Sherwood is a dark fantasy romance retelling of the legends of Robin Hood. Here, Robin is a woman. The Merry Men are merciless, morally gray, vicious, and they're obsessed with their fiery heiress. Graphic scenes of violence and sex abound, and I urge you to read the trigger warnings!

Shadowblade Academy 2: Darkness Rising

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 20:31:40 +0300

I'm in too deep to leave… whether I like it or not.

I've entangled myself in the web of Shadowblade Academy and have gotten close to all the guys in my squad, Hudson's Glove. We've made great discoveries for the Academy, yet Headmaster Cane hides them from us. We're being punished for being good at what the Academy trained us to do.

On our own, with only each other to trust, tensions are mounting. At times it feels like I'm the only one keeping my dangerous, sexy Glovemates from trying to kill each other.

Then murders start happening off campus—covert killings unsanctioned by the Academy. When we learn one of the targets is close to my Glovemate Dax, he's sent down a spiral. The rest of us join his quest for revenge, refusing to split up.

Can my mates and I survive the chaos? Can we recover from the dark secrets we'll reveal—secrets we're probably better off not knowing?

(DARKNESS RISING is the second book in the Shadowblade Academy series. Things get darker in this high-heat paranormal romance. All the smoldering men in Hudson's Glove desire Coralia in their own way. If you enjoy mystery with your steam, and twists with your action, Shadowblade Academy is right for you.)

Dragon Shifter Dominion 1: Passion of the Summer Dragon

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 23:25:09 +0300

In my world, I'm supposed to fear dragons. So why am I so drawn to this one?

LEVIA

I've spent years avoiding men after seeing them at their worst. In fact, I've made it my life's mission to protect other women from their savagery. The dragon shifters who rule over us are supposed to be the most menacing.

But when I'm sent on a retrieval mission through perilous lands, I find myself entangled with a fiery dragon in more ways than I can count. He's arrogant and animalistic, but also passionate and sinfully sexy. I should hate him . . .

So why can't I keep myself away?

COALT

She's just a frail Unscaled woman standing in my way. A distraction and adversary.

Or so I thought.

There's a deeper part of me that burns for her, telling me she's more than that—different than anyone I've ever met. Doesn't she see the dragon inside me, aching to get out? Why isn't she frightened?

We're after the same thing, but for entirely different reasons: I have a vendetta to achieve; she wants to protect her people.

Is there a way we can both win . . . without killing each other first?

Shadowblade Academy 1: Darkness Calls

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 09:35:05 +0200

At Shadowblade Academy, everyone fears the shadows…

Being the ordinary sister of a supernatural powerhouse isn't fun. I live in the Crust, an outsider town for normies, while she gallivants around her top-secret academy for Abnorms.

But everything goes sideways on my twenty-first birthday. Mediums scream at me like possessed nuns. Dudes pop out of shadows, trying to kidnap me. My dreams become very strange.

Most importantly, my sister goes missing.

I have to go looking for her, which means finding her school. Problem is, I learn the academy trains magical assassins who manipulate shadows. Badass but terrifying.

Bullies at the academy don't think I belong. Smoldering fae, vampire, and shifter men are obsessed with me for different reasons: attraction, hate, suspicion. And who the hell is the sexy ghost-man haunting my dreams?

I'm trapped in a place where I'm always looking over my shoulder, and I can't even trust my own shadow…

DARKNESS CALLS is the first book in the Shadowblade Academy series, a steamy, why choose paranormal romance with a splash of darkness. It features a female lead who takes no crap, and troubled but strong mates. Expect mystery, steam, dark humor, and edge-of-your-seat action!

Vikingrune Academy 1: Into the Isle

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 16:36:36 +0300

Runes, steel, secrets. Which one will kill me first?
I am a bog-blood. A half-bred outcast in a village of Viking descendants. Just about everyone here hates me. Luckily, I have a way out.
Every year, Vikingrune Academy selects a single initiate from each legacy village to attend its prestigious school. This year, I am determined to be my village's initiate.
I yearn for the legendary longship to haul me away through the arcane mists, to a land where I will hone my fighting and runeshaping abilities. It's a great honor to join the academy, with the endgame of fighting in the war against humanity's greatest foe: the elves.
At least that's what the brochure promises.
In truth? Vikingrune Academy is not what it seems. I have to bend my morals just to get there. I'm given just one semester to prove myself, or I'll be exiled forever. Sinfully wicked men try to break me down, relentless professors test my resolve, and dangerous trials push me to my limits.
But I belong here. I won't let anyone convince me otherwise. I've fought too damn hard.
I also share a secret no one knows—the true reason I've risked life and limb to attend:
So I can discover who destroyed my family name… and kill them all.

(Into the Isle is the first book in the Vikingrune Academy series, an 18+ why choose paranormal romance where enemies become lovers and friends become foes. If you like kick-ass heroines, steamy antiheroes, and the smoldering grit of Vikings and Norse mythology, give this one a try!)
