Most people run away from ferocious beasts, not headlong into their beds…
Threatened with an arranged marriage to a cruel lord who despises him, Aster claims the protection of the one man no one will dare to challenge: Sir Corin, disgraced dragon knight…and the man Aster’s sister betrayed so publicly that he fled the court for a gloomy, isolated mountain hideaway.
But Aster didn’t plan to be stranded there with one bed between them—or to give in to years of longing and beg for the monster’s forbidden touch.
Corin’s no one’s hero, not anymore—especially Aster’s. But when a royal decree makes Aster the prize for any predatory knight who can defeat him in single combat, Corin can’t seem to let him go, even though he knows the price for keeping Aster forever is more than he’s willing to pay…
This spicy, steamy, M/M paranormal fantasy romance features a pair of star-crossed opposites, some silliness involving a lack of pants at unexpected moments, plenty of dirty talk, and knotting (but no mpreg). HEA guaranteed.

For fans of One Dark Window and A River Enchanted, Through the Wicked Wood is a slow burn, introspective, Robin Hood inspired romance that follows a grieving Enchantress and a roguish thief who must team up to find the Awakening Stones that possess all of Mother Gaia’s magick before the corrupt King Roman does.
Elora Leigh is in hiding.
As an Enchantress, she has spent the last several years running not only from a king that hunts magick, but from the guilt and grief of losing her mother.
Content in her solitude, Elora’s life among the trees is disrupted when she crosses paths with the most unlikely of allies.
A thief determined to keep his village afloat, Sorin will do whatever it takes to provide for his people, especially now that the lands have been hit by Mother Gaia’s fury. Fishing has ceased, crops won’t grow, and the animals they’ve relied on for food have mostly disappeared leaving him desperate for a change.
When Elora and Sorin discover a common thirst for justice in the Kingdom of Valebridge, they set out on a journey to fend for those who cannot fend for themselves and take back power from the corrupt king.
But the deeper they go through the Wicked Woods, the more Elora realizes those she thought she could trust may not be who she thinks they are.
Family secrets, ancient magick, a kindling romance, and tangles of lies begin to reveal themselves. Elora must make a decision; trust this stranger to help defeat those harnessing magick in the Kingdom, or let the demons of her past push her back into hiding and away from who she was born to be.
Through the Wicked Wood is an emotionally sweeping, character driven cottage-core meets dark fantasy romance where themes of grief, guilt, love after loss and the complexity of what it means to be human are explored. Please refer to the content warnings before reading.

“Wow!!!!! I love the story!! I was just going to read a few pages today and then couldn’t put the book down!!” – Goodreads Reviewer
Some wounds run deeper than the fractured earth. Some love is worth risking everything to heal them.
Two hundred years after the Shift, Luke O’Brien has spent his life hunting the sand-ravaged lands for the “drifters” who killed his father. When he’s sent to negotiate an impossible peace, the last thing he expects is to be captured by Kaia—a fierce mountain warrior whose green eyes burn with a hatred he doesn’t understand.
Kaia knows the soshos murdered her cousin Cole during one of their brutal raids, but she doesn’t know which one pulled the trigger. As the sacred leader of her people, she should kill this enemy where he stands. Instead, she takes him prisoner, torn between the revenge that burns in her blood and the impossible peace her dying world desperately needs.
Forced to cross the unforgiving desert where water is sacred and sandstorms kill without warning, they discover truths that will challenge everything they believe. Luke isn’t just another enemy—he might be the key to her people’s survival. And Kaia isn’t another “drifter”—she’s the one person who could show him there’s more to life than revenge.
But when devastating secrets surface, they have to face whether their growing bond can withstand the shattering truth. Because in a world where trust is deadly and hope is scarce, some bonds are worth defying destiny itself. Even when the truth threatens to destroy everything.
Earth and Ember is a soul-stirring survival romance that weaves Indigenous wisdom with epic adventure and a love story that will leave you breathless. If you crave rich world-building and prose you can feel deep in your bones, this dystopian tale will stay with you long after the final page.

In a world where realms shatter and gods bleed, a fallen root crashes into Midgard, ripping through the sky and leaving a trail of golden sap and charred ruins. Amid the chaos, Asvarr Draegyr awakens, a berserker warrior marked by a rune that binds him to a fate darker than death itself.
Now, haunted by visions of the shattered World Tree and hunted by forces older than time, Asvarr must journey to the heart of a broken world. Eldritch shadows stalk his every step, twisted cultists hunger for his blood, and whispers of a prophecy echo through the Nine Realms—a prophecy that speaks of five fallen roots and a destiny forged in the blood of kings.
Armed with a war horn infused with ancient magic and a rune that pulses with forbidden power, Asvarr descends into the ice-ridden wastes, the shadow-haunted forests, and the bone-strewn depths of Helheim. But each step toward the root’s anchor brings him closer to a dark truth: the Tree is not just broken—it is bleeding. And something is feeding on its wounds.
Asvarr’s path is strewn with blood oaths and haunting echoes, the cries of fallen heroes and the whispers of gods long forgotten. To reclaim the root, he must bind its power to his soul, sacrificing pieces of himself to keep the worlds from collapsing. But with each sacrifice, the line between man and monster blurs, and Asvarr begins to wonder if he is the one destined to save the realms—or to shatter them forever.
For fans of dark Norse fantasy, Viking sagas, and epic quests steeped in shadow and fate, Branches of the Broken World will pull you into a world where the gods are as cruel as they are powerful, and where the only way to survive is to become the darkness itself.
Enter the saga. Embrace the prophecy. And discover what it means to be the Warden of Skyrend.
