Title: Waterkeeper
Series: The Mermaid Detective Book 1
Release Date: 04/27/2026

A mermaid in Austin. A missing fugitive. And a very small office mate who gambles, borrows indefinitely, and definitely doesn’t pay rent.

Candy Lovelace just opened her own detective agency in Austin, Texas. New office. New name. New life.

She’d like to keep it that way.

Too bad her legs occasionally turn into scales, her dog can sniff magic, and her brand-new workspace already comes with a problem—Eureka, a gambling gnome-ish who refuses to leave, runs a shady import/export side hustle, and treats personal property like a suggestion.

Her first case should be simple: track down a magical fugitive who can tear through concrete and skipped bail. Bring him in. Get paid.

Instead, Candy finds herself dodging klepto pixies, arguing with her unwanted business partner, and chasing leads that don’t add up—because someone is lying, and it’s going to cost more than money.

As the case spirals, Candy is forced to dig into the one thing she’s been avoiding—her past, her missing mother, and the truth about what she really is.

In a city where magic hides in plain sight, staying undercover might be the most dangerous move of all.

 

Set in the bestselling Oriceran Universe, this fast-paced urban fantasy delivers sharp humor, high-stakes action, and a mermaid detective who bites back.

Title: Threat Level: Twilight
Series: FBI: Magical Threats Division
Release Date: 04/28/2026

For Billie Keller, it’s time to punch somebody in the mouth.

Losses have stacked up. Derik Cote and his crew have torn through DC, stolen magical artifacts, twisted science into weapons, and taken one of her own.

That ends now.

Step one: squeeze Derik’s people until they crack.
Step two: dig up secrets he can’t survive.
Step three: hit back—and keep hitting until he’s gone. Preferably hard.

The problem? His army.

Elementals—frost, fire, lightning, force—and something worse waiting in the wings. Derik isn’t just building power. He’s upgrading it.

Billie’s bringing everything. Her team, the pixies Onyx somehow convinced to join (no one’s asking how), and every ally willing to stand their ground.

May it be enough.

And the most dangerous weapon in Derik’s arsenal hasn’t shown itself yet. That’s never a good sign.

When magic turns deadly, the FBI’s Magical Threats Division answers the call. And they don’t do subtle.

Title: The Homestead
Series: The Anchor’s Inheritance Saga Book 2
Release Date: 04/29/2026

When your Spirit bodyguard kisses you after agreeing to bring her dead friend back to life, you know your problems just got complicated.

Nick thought inheriting his father’s five-thousand-gold debt was his biggest issue. Turns out having a powerful Spirit bound to him through an intimate magical tether while owing money to the Guild is worse.

Way worse.

Kaela can kill a dozen trained soldiers without breaking a sweat. She’s a war veteran who’s waited sixty-three years for someone capable enough to resurrect her friend from a Spirit Ball. Now Nick’s promised to do exactly that—hunt monsters, gather rare materials, perform a ritual he’s never attempted.

No pressure.

His missing friend hasn’t been seen in weeks. Assassins want him dead. Goblin armies are moving closer. Three hundred gold in interest compounds daily while Nick builds a homestead on the Fringe and tries not to think about how Kaela’s touch makes his magic sing.

The resurrection will change everything. Kaela’s friend was more than just a companion during the war. Much more.

Nick made his choice. Stay. Build. Fight.

Will he survive long enough to see it through? Or will his debts, his enemies, and his feelings for the impossible woman protecting him destroy everything he’s trying to create?

Pick up The Homestead for a Fantasy adventure where progression magic meets slow-burn bodyguard romance and resurrection quests.

He’s been running from his mate for six years. She’s been running from herself even longer.

He chooses her anyway.

Every day Jace shows up at the store, helps with inventory, makes her grandmother laugh, walks away before the truth can escape. Every night Lily dreams of brown eyes that flash impossible gold. The pull between them defies logic, gravity, everything she understands about the world.

Her father forbids it. The town watches with knowing eyes. Strange things keep happening—rescue teams finding lost hikers in record time, massive wolves appearing at town edges, heat pouring off Jace’s skin like he’s burning from the inside out.

When Lily demands the truth, will Jace risk his shattered heart one more time? Claim your copy and fall in love with the Blackpine pack today.
