Bound to a Killer
He never meant to hurt her.
But she'd already seen his face.
ARIAI can feel him watching.
Even when he's nowhere in sight. I spent my whole life being careful. The quiet girl in the corner. Always invisible. Until the night I saw him kill.
His knife found my throat, a threat still lingering on his tongue.
I was sure that was the end. But death wasn't what he had in mind.
What he wanted was far worse.
LEDGERI had one job.
Slip in, eliminate the target, leave no witnesses behind. I didn't plan on crossing paths with her. The girl I'd helped just hours earlier. The girl I should've left behind. Hurting her was never part of the plan. But the way she clung to my arm, her grip trembling with something between terror and silent resignation, broke my resolve.
I couldn't bring myself to kill her.
So I did something far more reckless.
I took her instead.
*Bound to a Killer is a standalone dark romance with no cliffhanger. Suitable for ages 18+.Reader discretion is advised.
Sins of the Father
He comes to me through a lattice in a confessional booth in my church.
He’s brash, vulgar, and confessing to things that would send him to hell, and yet, I find myself intrigued by the mysterious man.
His sinful words thrill me. His way of life, so different from my own, has me coveting excitement that’s long been missing. The more I’m around him, the more I realize how long I’ve been deprived of so much, and the more my own deviance begins to emerge.
On paper, nothing about the two of us makes sense, and there are many reasons why I should keep my distance. I try to be pious, but if anyone were to find the skeletons in my closet, I’d be excommunicated from the church.
When something from my past reveals itself, I find myself being pulled into a way of life I didn’t think would be in my future, and now I straddle the line between right and wrong. Morality vs necessity.
I’m a priest. He’s a murderer. But we’re both sinners.
The Devil and His Star
Serenity
I'm the punch line of everyone's joke, and if I'm not at war with my own mind, I'm at battle with the one who's supposed to be my forever. Until he appears. He shows me everything I want and all that I am. He makes me feel. But I shouldn't get my hopes up. After all, the more you reach for the stars, the harder you'll fall.
Dante
Humans are vile, and love doesn't exist. These are two things I know to be true. I tell myself that she's no different. But while I'm lying to her about my intentions, I'm not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself. Because this human is anything but vile, and that stupid thing called love is starting to seem real.
Catcher's Lock
Josha
Don’t fall in love with the boy next door.
Not when he’s the prodigal son of the family you’ve always wanted. Especially not when he’s straight, damaged, and hell-bent on ripping your heart out and running away. When lines get crossed and he disappears, I vow I’m done chasing an impossible dream. So why am I answering his call two years later and letting him drag me back into his games? And how can I resist when the lure he’s dangling is the one thing I’ve always wanted—him?
Gem
Don’t break your best friend’s heart.
Not when he’s the only perfect thing that’s ever loved you. Especially not when he makes you question everything you thought you knew about yourself. But all I do is drag him down with my addictions and the only way to save him is to let him go. So I run—only to realize the missing pieces of myself I’m chasing are shaped like him.
I haven’t earned another chance, but I’m begging for one anyway. It’s time to shed my shackles and swim in the sun, because becoming the man he deserves is the only way I’ll ever find my home.
Catcher's Lock is an 18+ MM childhood best friends-to-lovers romance with a medium burn, a lot of angst, and mature content. Expect 1st person present tense, dual POV, and material that some readers may find sensitive. Full content notes included in the book and on my author website.
This is the third book in a series of interconnected standalones following a group of elite aerial circus athletes through their struggles to find unconventional love in unexpected places. It can be read on its own but includes minor spoilers for book 2, Unlocked Dive. Catcher's Lock ends with a HEA.
Venomous

They call me The Southern Poisoner—contract killer, legend, monster in a tailored suit.I was supposed to be on vacation.

I’m not the hero.But I set her free.Now she haunts me. Fights me. Tempts the monster in me to play nice.I thought I was the one in control.I am The Southern Poisoner.But somehow… I think I’m the one being poisoned.
*Although Venomous is focused on Venom & Ivy, it is still recommended to read The Bone Reaper first, where Venom is first introduced and plays an important role in Reaper & Charlotte's story. In the author's opinion, this will assist in having full context and a better experience when reading Venomous.*

Forget everything you thought you understood about vampires because in this twisted world, the real terror has only just begun.
In a time where vampires shatter every myth you've ever known, one woman is about to dive into the heart of darkness.
Forgetting all she once understood, she leaves behind a love lost and embraces the chilling unknown. She becomes a guest in the vampire metropolis known as the Crimson Quarter where the charismatic and handsome vampire Gabriel is king.

As an undercover agent, paired with the vampire Samael, her mission demands she unravel the mysteries that haunt this mysterious community. A drug called "cherry" seems to be linked to a series of deaths among blood donors. Every step deeper into this realm only brings more questions, and the sinking feeling that her meticulous research may mean nothing at all offers little comfort.

Ashes Ashes
My life has never been mine. Not really.
Every step I’ve taken, every choice I’ve made—it was never about what I wanted. It was a script written before I even knew how to speak, a path paved in expectation and legacy. The right schools, the right friends, the right future. A cage dressed up as extravagant wealth . I’ve spent years suffocating under the weight of it, trapped in a life that’s been decided for me.
Enter Jaxon Knox, tearing through the carefully constructed walls of my world as if he was always meant to.
And he’s not alone.
His brothers follow.
Kaios Knox and Nyx Leone, shadow and fire, unmaking everything I thought was certain of. With them, nothing is simple. The lines blur—between safety and danger, right and wrong, freedom and control.
Because resisting them feels like a battle I’m already losing. They look at me as if I belong to them—as if I was always theirs. Something dark and reckless inside me screams to surrender.
And maybe….I want to.
I should run. I should fight harder to hold onto the life I understand. But the more the truth finds its way to the light, the more I realize I never understood anything at all.
And that might be the most dangerous truth of all.
