If I Were a Weapon

2022

See the future. Set things on fire. Fall in love? A superpowered sci-fi romance. When dying alien ships materialized across the Earth, their nanite infection knocked Deneve Wilder out cold. She woke up with the ability to see the future. Determined to keep anyone from using her visions for evil, she took to the road. Giving up everything was a small price to pay for freedom. The ship that hit Jolie Betancourt's town gave her the power to set things on fire. It was safer to start over in a new city. Then one terrible mistake demonstrated far too clearly that for her, solitude is safer. For everyone. So when Deneve shows up after a vision of Jolie being kidnapped, Jolie wants little to do with the frustratingly attractive drifter. Deneve's surprised by how much she wants to thaw the pretty shopkeeper's chilly attitude, but the idea of staying in one place sets off her alarm bells. If they can't evade whoever's abducting people with powers, however, the growing connection they both feel in spite of themselves might be the least of their problems. The first novella in a four-book sapphic near-future science fiction romance series, which is slow burn to high heat with a guaranteed HEA at series end.

Know It in the Dark

2022

A dangerous attraction. A secret revealed. The superpowered sci-fi romance series continues. Jolie knows that Deneve staying in Austin is only temporary, especially when a government agency far too interested in people who developed powers from alien ship nanites may have its eyes on the city. Too bad Jolie’s heart doesn’t seem to be getting the memo that Deneve won’t be around forever. Deneve’s nanites won’t let her leave town, but without any precognitive visions of what catastrophe she’s supposed to avert next, she’s at loose ends. She’s also spending too much time close to Jolie, the beautiful woman who saved Deneve’s life with a wall of fire. When an attack connected to a secret from the alien ships leaves someone dead, Deneve’s visions come back with a vengeance. But surviving the confrontation that follows is going to take more than seeing the future. Deneve and Jolie must start trusting the growing connection between them… and confront the truth about what happens when their powers combine. The second novella in a four-book sapphic near-future science fiction romance series, which is slow burn to high heat with a guaranteed HEA at series end.

Too Dangerous to Keep

2023

How far would you go to get your life back? The superpowered sci-fi romance series continues. Deneve’s nanite powers sent her running from her home, trapped her in Austin, and tangled her up with Jolie. Now the nanites want more: a connection between Deneve and a new person who’s put a target on the city by using nanite powers on bystanders. Jolie never wanted anything but a small, quiet life. Maybe with someone like Deneve? Those dreams died when the alien ships changed her forever. Now her nanites are changing again, and no one has any answers about what it means for her future. As tensions in the city escalate, Deneve and Jolie end up on a rescue mission that may reveal the truth behind the kidnappings that brought them together. What they find out in the process could give people with nanite powers a way out of the danger they live with every day. And some people want that badly enough to cross lines that shouldn’t be crossed. The third novella in a four-book sapphic near-future science fiction romance series, which is slow burn to high heat with a guaranteed HEA at series end. Detailed content warnings are available in the book's front matter and on the author's website. Cover artist: Sarah Waites, Illustrated Page Book Design
