Almost two centuries had passed since vampires emerged from the shadows. After declaring themselves as the dominant species and for all humans to be captured, mortals were made into blood slaves, traitorous employees with protections, or lowly animals in the wild who could barely survive. 

Teru was the first omega to appear in decades. He was terrified of being discovered. His rare secondary gender would attract the bloodsuckers’ attention—enough that it was even kept secret from other nearby packs. 

His nightmare came true. 

Teru was caught by traffickers during a scavenging trip to find supplies for the Valley Pack. Little did he know that vampires were not the scariest monsters out there. 

Kieran, an immortal alpha prince of the royal family, was immediately captivated by Teru’s sweet pheromones. He craved to taste the omega’s blood, something he hadn’t had the desire to do in centuries since his ‘incident’ that left him unable to drink without becoming violently ill. 

His blood was not the only thing Kieran craved. His body wanted Teru in ways he never felt in his thousand years of existence. For the first time, Kieran questioned his pride. How did that human he purchased on a whim soften his cold heart?

Once Teru became Prince Kieran’s property, the last human omega had a choice—will he try to return to his pack or give everything up for a forbidden love that’s more than meets the eye?

[ A VERY Slow-Burn, Coming-of-Age LGBT+ Historical Romance about the Messiness of Life, Finding Home, and Yourself]

When Benjamin Price applies for the Hutchinson Academic Scholarship, he doesn't expect anything from it, a hopeless attempt to better himself. His life is in his town of Durmont - quiet, little Durmont - whether he wants it or not. Despite his hopes of escaping, he doesn't believe his abusive father will let him.

When John "Jack" Byrd Jr. finally pushes his father's patience to the limit, he's tasked with picking the recipients of the academic scholarship; he does so with angry ambivalence for having his wings clipped. His home in the city of Allisport - metropolitan, ever-building Allisport - is too small. He wants to see the world, unable to let the suffocation of expectations take him.

Neither of them expected their decisions to make their world burn.

The world needs her. She needs him. He... just wants to have a good time.
 
Through no fault of his own, simply a matter of timing, Ekon has found himself in the possession of the mantle of his wolf pack's Alpha. It's a privileged role that comes with far too much responsibility.
 
Also the victim of timing, Anaïs has woken to find that she is a Sorcerer: the Source of all of life's power. The first for centuries. Why her? Because. Why now? Because. Power from the cosmos now flows through her, and out into the wider world, controlled only by the amulet she must always wear. And if she takes it off? Kaboom.
 
And if it's stolen from her? ...

This is the first book of a planned series called Guardians & Guides. It's still very much in its infancy, so will develop slowly (especially while I'm still prioritising finishing Magician's Touch from the Deadly Touch series). I'm also going to have to do a bunch of worldbuilding for this one, so the actual writing will happen later in the process, or will undergo some changes as I "discover" things. This is just to let you know it's on my agenda, just in case it's the sort of story you might be looking for ...

Werewolves don't have destined mates, the moon goddess does not guide them to their perfect match. Instead they choose, just like a normal human would. Though for those unlucky enough to hold the title of Heir, their choices are limited.

Isa returns from her banishment to France just in time for this gathering and is forced to partake in the choosing. Tossed into a house with other females, tensions rise as each girl has their eye on an Alpha Heir.

Isa doesn't want to be there, she knows her place and it is not beside an Alpha. But she can't help that she wishes Ash would look at her as if she were more than just his friend. 

The two are tossed together in this strange escalade of evolving emotions and questioning feelings. Five Heirs to find their future Luna's but what happens if more than one Heir desires the same girl?

A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator...

NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she's determined this will be the moment she finally turns her life around. 

That is, until she meets...

AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, in demon terms, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade.

But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human.

Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.
