The Phantom Lear
The world of Atrium was once corrupted by the demon king of vampires, Dracula, who ruled with a bloody fist and sharp teeth. Now it is haunted with the ghosts of its past. Abandoned by the Lords Above, the people of Atrium have only themselves to fend off the demons and monsters. The Reapers, guilds specialized in hunting malicious specters, have but one goal left; to seek the King of Phantoms and bring his reign of horror to an end.
Reaper officer of the Belmus Guild, Ray, sets off to find the King of Phantoms, after a terrible tragedy strikes her team. She will fight demons and defend herself against bloodthirsty vampires, all while seeking the truth and clawing her way through hell to save her loved one. Perhaps Dracula's legacy is more than just a scary story. And maybe there is more to the King of Phantoms than meets the eye.
Fire and Magic (The Jadori Book 1)
A girl who sees ghosts. A magic out of control. A group hellbent on destroying what they’re afraid of.
Maddie Johnson is sent to a mental institution because she talks to people who aren’t there. She insists that they’re ghosts. Just as she thinks she’s convinced the doctors that she is fine, a dark-haired ghost with dreamy brown eyes rushes in and ruins everything.
Instead of going home, she is sent to a halfway house that helps people with mental illness assimilate back into society. Problem is, one of the residents hates her and the house is haunted – oh, and the cute ghost has followed her. Maddie tries to get away, but then she hurts someone using magic she didn’t know she possessed. Now she has a new problem. She will have to learn to control her magic.
She discovers that the town has secrets; people are going missing. How far are people willing to go to destroy what they are afraid of? Maddie and her attractive-but-annoying spirit might just find out first-hand.
FIRE AND MAGIC is an exciting first book in the Jadori Series that will transport romantasy fans to a fascinating world that exists within our own, filled with suspense, danger, magic, ghosts, and romance.

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel)
Choosing her cost me everything I’d ever loved… including her.
I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for.
It should have been enough.
She was off-limits, my parent’s best friend’s daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn’t exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn’t know how to fill.
It’s what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn’t have made.
Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn’t meant for me cost me everything I loved.
I never should have crossed that line or given in. It’s why she’ll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret.
This tragic story is the beginning of our end…

The once busy town of Emperor's Kiss, filled with running children by day and glamourous harlots by night, now house barren halls of memories. The once great and wealthy city of Irenelle, that once flowed of milk and honey, now stood desolate, holding nothing but a facade of power shown by The House of Wolves.
Only one she-wolf, among the fateless, still stands in faith of a brighter tomorrow; but what happens when her closest alliance, Queen Catalina, leader of House of Fae shows up at her doorstep half-alive, claiming that an ancient group of cloaked men destroyed her entire kingdom?
