Some partnerships are deadlier than others.

Tatiana Sterling knows security—as a former Special Ops soldier, she’s built her reputation on protecting others. Now running her struggling security firm, she faces a harsh reality: even the best-trained woman gets overlooked in a male-dominated industry.

Her solution arrives in the form of Jackson Dale Shade, a mysterious, charming man she hires to pose as her business partner. The ruse works perfectly—clients start rolling in, her company flourishes.

JD harbors dark secrets that leave Tatiana both fascinated and frustrated.

When they take on a case of sabotage at the Metro Theater, they uncover more than staged accidents. Their investigation leads them to a bank heist plot that puts lives at risk—including their own.

Through gunfire, collapsing tunnels, confrontations with criminals, Tatiana must rely on JD while questioning everything about him.

Release Date: 05/13/2025

Nightmares become reality. Dreams become salvation.

In a kingdom besieged by illusions, Elara’s simple thread glimmers with unexpected power. A talented seamstress with the rare gift of dreamweaving, she alone can craft illusions that soothe rather than terrify.

When Prince Caelum speaks her name from his enchanted sleep, Elara discovers her thread forms a bridge to his imprisoned mind. The connection awakens hope—and dangerous attention.

Malakar, the royal advisor and master sorcerer, claims to guide Elara’s abilities while spreading nightmares throughout the palace. With each passing night, servants wake screaming, nobles collapse from terror, and Caelum’s fragile stirrings grow weaker.

To free the prince and stop the plague of fear, Elara must forge unlikely alliances. Alongside the loyal knight Lucian, whose steadfast protection stirs feelings she cannot ignore, she races to master illusions powerful enough to break Malakar’s curse.

The cost of failure is unthinkable. If Elara cannot weave a shield strong enough to protect Caelum’s mind, the entire kingdom will drown in waking nightmares.

Will Elara’s empathic illusions save the realm from Malakar’s dark magic? Or will her heart’s divided loyalties become the final thread that unravels everything she fights to protect?

Enter the realm of THE DREAMWEAVER’S PACT: SHATTERED NIGHTMARES today and discover the power that lies between dreams and reality.

Title: Veil of Sacrifice
Series: The Witch of Frognot County Book 4
Release Date: 05/14/2025

In a town where magic is feared as much as it is sought after, Carrie Moonshadow treads a delicate line. Some call her a witch, others whisper warnings behind closed doors—yet when grief-stricken parents plead for her help, she can’t refuse.

Summoning their lost son’s spirit should have brought closure. Instead, it unearths secrets that were meant to stay buried.

As restless spirits stir and the town turns against her, Carrie must rely on Finn, her ever-loyal (and opinionated) gnome companion, and Sheriff Caleb Thorne, a man who should stay out of her business but can’t seem to. As the mayor plots to use her magic for his own gain, Carrie faces a dangerous choice: fight for the truth or disappear into the shadows.

But when a sinister warning is left behind by something much older—and much darker—than a grieving spirit, she realizes this is only the beginning.

Fans of Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson, and Shannon Mayer’s The Forty Proof series will be hooked!

One séance was all it took to change everything. Will Carrie survive what’s coming next?

Read Veil of Sacrifice now and uncover the secrets waiting beyond the veil!

Title: The Forbidden Spell
Series: Izzie Berens: Arcane Enforcer Book 5
Release Date: 05/15/2025

Some spells are never meant to be cast.

When Izzie Berens, top agent for the Paranormal Defense Agency, experiences a vision of reality shattering around her, she knows something is terribly wrong. A rogue wizard has uncovered a forbidden spell so powerful it could warp time, space, and magic itself—if he succeeds in casting it.

With the celestial alignment that fuels the spell just days away, Izzie and her team must race against time, tracking down lost artifacts, battling ancient guardians, and navigating a web of magical conspiracies. But they’re not the only ones on the hunt. The wizard’s followers will stop at nothing to protect their leader’s dark ritual.

From hidden temples to underground magical enclaves, every step brings them closer to a final, brutal showdown. But as the spell nears completion, even reality itself begins to betray them. Warped magic, shifting timelines, and devastating illusions make it impossible to tell friend from foe.

Failure means unmaking reality itself. And Izzie? She’ll risk everything—including her own soul—to stop it.

Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, and K.F. Breene, The Forbidden Spell delivers pulse-pounding action, sharp humor, and a heroine who never backs down.
