A Life-Changing Encounter with Magic, Romance, and Danger

Ethan is drowning in corporate burnout and heartache. Seeking escape, he retreats to the peaceful isolation of Parkfield, a quiet town in central California, hoping to heal. But his sabbatical takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious creature crashes into his front yard—Star, a being of pure magic, stranded in a world devoid of it.

With no memory of who—or what—she is, Star longs to become human. She forms a human body to live in and, with Ethan’s help, starts navigating this modern world. But the closer they get, the more their chemistry intensifies, leading to a heated pancake-making lesson and a flirtatious game of pool. As passion simmers, their fragile connection is put to the test when an ancient sea monster attacks their cabin, narrowly sparing their lives.

Suddenly, they find themselves trapped in a cosmic horror’s twisted game, with Star as the prey.

If they don’t survive, Star’s magic will be consumed by a brutal hunter, gaining unimaginable power.

A Dangerous Tournament, Forbidden Magic, and a Choice that Could Destroy Her World.

Nyah, the illegitimate daughter of a sorcerer king, has always lived in the shadows. With only a touch of magic and no real power to call her own, she’s accustomed to being overlooked—especially when compared to her full-blooded sister, Leuruna, the princess who suffers at the hands of their cruel father.

But when Leuruna transfers her magic to Nyah to protect it from their father's tyranny, Nyah is forced to flee the kingdom. Her escape takes an unexpected turn when she's saved—and kidnapped—by Rivven, a mysterious and charismatic warrior with dangerous secrets of his own. His mission? To assassinate Nyah’s father. But Rivven’s plans come with a risk Nyah isn’t willing to take: he wants to enter the Imrati, a tournament where the victor can claim the legendary powerstone and the hand of the princess.

It’s the perfect opportunity to get close to the king and strike. But the stakes are higher than Nyah could have ever imagined. As she’s pulled deeper into the trials—and into a scorching attraction for Rivven—she finds herself torn between her duty to her sister and the growing desire to stand by the man who’s risking everything for a better world.

In a contest where betrayal runs as deep as the magic that fuels it, Nyah must decide: will she embrace the power inside her and take the chance to change everything? Or will she risk losing herself, and the people she loves, to a king whose cruelty knows no bounds?

Enter the Imrati—where only the strongest will survive, and the prize may cost more than anyone is willing to pay.

Being tied to the Fae is no guarantee the folk will open their gates to welcome you in.

Believing they’ve earned a place in the Faerie kingdom of Tír na nÓg, Eala, a folklore academic, and her time traveler soulmate, Sionnach, are about to face the harsh reality that mischief and misdirection lurk at the very core of Fae bargains.

When Finnbheara, King of the Connacht Fae, confronts the pair on the threshold of his domain, he declares only Eala, by virtue of her Faerie origins, is welcome into his land of eternal youth. Desperate not to be separated from Sionnach, she agrees to a bargain with the wily king to grant the lovers a future together in the Fae realm.

The only help offered in solving the royal challenge is from the sexy yet duplicitous Faerie, Robber Bright, arrogant commander of the Host of a Thousand Wings…which might be worse than no help at all.

Now, with a looming lunar deadline and dark forces at work against them, Eala and Sionnach must time travel through the magical Veil, taking part in Irish history and folk tales to unravel the truths hidden in Finnbheara’s enigmatic challenge.  

As Nephele, Alexus, and their faithful companions grapple with the devastating loss on Mount Ulra, the threat of Thamaos’s reign rises in the East. To prepare, the crew must strengthen the Northland and Summerland armies, even if it means depending on the one being they never thought would live again: Neri, God of the White Wolf.

Nephele made a deal she can’t escape, a deal that not only ensures the Wolf’s resurrection, but one that forces her to remain at his side, even when he returns North to bolster defenses and destroy any traitors and enemies remaining on his land. The last thing Nephele wants is to spend her days and nights alone with a seductive, arrogant god, but Tiressia’s future depends on Neri being their primary weapon, one only she holds the power to wield.

As Thamaos aims his first wave of destruction at Neri, Nephele finds that not only is the Wolf more difficult to control than she believed, but that he’s far more human than she gave him credit for. With every passing hour, the undeniable passion between them burns brighter, until their fire becomes impossible to resist, and impossible for Thamaos to ignore.

Because the only thing he loathes more than the Wolf roaming Tiressia again, is that there’s a witch at his side, and her name is Bloodgood.

Finley, the feared and legendary pirate queen of the realm, has one goal: to break her sleeping curse before it traps her in an eternal slumber.

With the enchanted chalice hidden deep within the Paravian Mountains, rumored to have the power to cure the king’s sleeping curse, she believes it can do the same for her — if she can find it in time.

But nothing is ever that simple. Finley’s quest becomes even more complicated when she’s forced to team up with a brooding shape-shifting wolf, bound by an ancient curse to the goddess of death. This enigmatic wolf has the power to drag anyone into the world of the dead, and Finley’s friends are at risk if she can’t find a way to break his bond.

To survive, she must convince him to work with her to cure her curse — and maybe even free him from the goddess’s hold. With the evil queen threatening to take over the realm, Finley’s mission becomes a race against time. If they fail, it’s not just Finley who will fall into eternal sleep — the entire world could descend into darkness.

Can the pirate queen and the cursed wolf overcome their differences in time to save the realm from destruction?

Disguised as a young man and taking the name of Ansel, she’ll do whatever it takes to free her family and set the record straight.

Will, a former royal huntsman, was nearly killed for dissenting Cinderella’s rise as queen in the wake of the sudden death of the king and his son. He hatches a plan to take Cinderella down, and encounters Ansel, who wants revenge just as much as he does.

Drawn together by a common goal and burgeoning feelings neither can ignore, Will and Ansel enact a plan to assassinate the queen.

Tinker Bell, banished from her homeland for doing the unthinkable, selling the hottest drug in Neverland—pixie dust—wants absolution.

Determined to find a way home, Tink doesn’t hesitate to follow the one lead she has, even if that means seducing a filthy pirate to steal precious gems out from under his…hook.

Captain Hook believes he’s found a real treasure in Tink. That is, until he recovers from her pixie dust laced kiss with a curse that turns the seas against him. With his ship and reputation at the mercy of raging storms, he tracks down the little minx and demands she remove the curse. Too bad she can’t.

However, the mermaid queen has a solution to both of their problems, if Tink and Hook will work together to retrieve a magical item for her.

As they venture to the mysterious Shrouded Isles to find the priceless treasure, their shared nemesis closes in. However, his wrath is nothing compared to the realization that achieving their goal may mean losing something they never expected to find—each other.

Elwyn is remarkably unremarkable, and she prefers it that way. What more could a thief hope for than to pass through life unseen?

Perhaps it is a talent owed to the training of the notorious syndicate that reared her, or it may be a gift from her invisible friend—a clever and capricious creature who, unlike most invisible friends, has only grown more real with time.

Either way, it is about to fail her.

Upon absconding to the tiny town of Amblewick in search of a quiet, uneventful life, she catches the attention of two feuding tricksters, each in search of the perfect pawn.

Through either fate or magical machinations, she soon finds herself in the company of a cutthroat assassin, a wayward prince, and a little girl with a chilling secret.

The kingdom is beautiful, as is the handsome prince Alvis and though his offer to join him at the Golden Palace is tempting, Myra is determined to make her own way.

But when a life on her own becomes too difficult, Myra is forced to accept Alvis' offer and lands in the thick of a plot to free Queen Amelia. To keep the entire realm and her people safe, Myra and Alvis must find out who among the Golden Palace court is the betrayer before Amelia escapes.

But with each passing day Myra feels her connection to Alvis growing stronger, and her past continues to haunt her. Can they protect the kingdom and each other, before Amelia takes her revenge and Alvis finds out the truth?
