The Devereauxs and the Morettis have been competing with each other for decades. Their rivaling businesses stand side by side on the same beachfront boulevard, but the past four years their competition took a turn for the worse. The Devereaux family runs the most coveted beach club on the coast. At night, the Morettis take control and rule the city's most exclusive nightclub, 'Il Silenzio'. At twenty-five, Luca has everything money can buy and nothing he actually wants. As the tattooed heir to his family's nightlife empire, he spends his days sleeping off bad decisions and his nights surrounded by people who want something from him. Until the morning he lays eyes on Robyn Devereaux. Completely unaware of the effect she has on him, Robyn is trying to navigate her way through life after dropping out of college. When the twenty-two year old returns home, she's determined to prove herself by working at her parents' beach club. She wants to figure out what comes next and has absolutely no interest in the arrogant nightclub prince who keeps appearing in her orbit. The more Luca wants to stay away from Robyn, the more impossible it seems to become. What starts with stolen glances quickly turns into secret conversation, undeniable chemistry, and a rivalry that begins to feel dangerously close to desire. But family loyalties run deep. And when a feud that's been simmering for years threatens to pull them apart, Robyn and Luca are forced to choose: the families they've always belonged to, of the one person they can't seem to stay away from.

Shortlisted in Muse Awards. "He thought he was the hunter. He didn't know she had nothing left to lose." Trapped within the dark, looming walls of Vaelhorst Palace, Aethelgard is a captive surrounded by enemies. Her survival depends entirely on the mercy of Malakor-a ruthless, hyper-vigilant Dark Lord whose very name strikes terror across the kingdoms. Separated from everything she knows by the treacherous, ink-black waters of The Mourning Tides, escape seems completely impossible. But Malakor underestimates the girl in his shadows. Before sending her to the Dark Lord, the sinister witch known as Pale Marrow ripped away Aethelgard's emotions, leaving her completely hollow. Malakor expects a terrified prisoner, but instead, he faces a mind completely untethered by fear, panic, or mercy. As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back. A dark fantasy romance filled with royal intrigue, psychological tension, and a toxic power dynamic that will burn down an empire.

She spent years building her armor, and he's just waiting to tear it off. Being forced to live together? It's vicious. Just two killers in a bed, where lying is keeping the other alive.

The Battle for the Blood Court is over. Ash still drifts through the streets of a kingdom that does not know how to begin again, and the man they have chosen as king is not certain he deserves the crown. Daemian ended a reign of terror with his own hands. Now he is expected to be crowned King of the New Dawn. But every step toward the throne feels heavier than he had expected, as the echoes of his past come back to haunt him. He does not break in front of the kingdom - only in the quiet places where Lune finds him. Lune refuses to let him drown. With her at his side, Daemian begins to rebuild not just a broken kingdom, but everything he thought he had lost inside himself as well. Because some legacies are meant to burn, while others are meant to rise with the new dawn.
