Sea of Snakes
2023
Zeke, Skyler, Dom and Rake—they grew up on this island and are in charge of protecting its various interests. They’re used to being in control of everything here. Including the surf. I’ve been kidnapped by a dangerous man, and am being used as collateral while my father comes up with the funds to pay off his debt (sadly not the worst thing he’s ever done although it’s up there), and if he doesn’t come up with the cash soon I’ll be auctioned off to the highest bidder. In the meantime, these four men are tasked with keeping me in their control and protecting me, and they take their role very seriously. But they’re not the only people to be concerned about. I’m tough in my own way. I can tell that they want all of me, to take me over like they do everything else. But five can play this game, and I’m not good at losing. \

Sea of Sinners
2023
I'm on the run from evil. Is it finally time to embrace my darkness, or will I succumb to it? Four volatile, very attractive men will stop at nothing to take over the island to which I've fled. Together, they are a brutal, powerful force that will destroy anything in their path. Aidan, Roman, Brick and Slade - also known as the Brixtons. After a bloody chance encounter where I witness a murder, they have little choice but to take me as their hostage. They're not sure what to do with me, and death is certainly an option. But when they learn a deranged killer is hellbent on tracking me down and ending me, their instincts are to protect me. If anyone is going to end my life, they're determined it will be them. All they want in return is every single part of me. And for me to help them in their unbending quest to take control of the island chain. The thing they don't know yet is that my soul is just as dark as theirs. They may be psychotic, but I'm a sinner too. And I'm not going down without a fight. \

Sea of Rage
2023
Evil has almost caught up to me. I can feel its breath on my neck, warning me my life might soon be over at the hands of my psychotic stalker. Aidan, Roman, Brick and Slade vow to protect me, to do everything in their power to ensure I survive this evil. They know my darkness now, that I fear nothing, including them. But maybe that will be my downfall. It won't be simple to extinguish the evil that chases me, as my psychotic stalker gets closer. There's still a chance he'll get to live out his darkest fantasies at my expense. And the island doesn't run itself. While the Brixtons' hold on the island is increasing as they systematically destroy their rivals, there's still much to do before we own this place. Traitors multiply in the darkness, and while we'd prefer not to form any alliances and go it alone, we need to keep pace. It's time to get down and dirty. To do whatever it takes to gain control. And I'm not afraid of fighting. \

Sea of Demons
2023
This is Book 5 in the dark Blood and Sand romantic suspense series. This description contains spoilers, so if you haven't read the previous books in the series and gotten to know Devon, Angel, the snakes and the Brixton guys, I recommend starting there!
Devon
I never expected my life to turn out this way. But here I am, with the four men of my dreams. Yet there's a threat that's only getting closer. He almost ended me once. He doesn't like losing, and now he's coming back with a vengeance. There's even more on the line this time. And if we don't hunt him down first, it will mean the end for us.
Angel
My psycho stalker is gone. But now there's an even bigger threat to our existence. He's strong. He's deadly. But so are we. And we have one opportunity to take him down.
Sea of Demons
is a full-length mafia/gang dark romantic suspense containing potential triggers. Reader discretion is advised. This is the 5th book in the Blood and Sand series. Books 2-4 can also be found combined as Sinners, Rage, and The Brixton Trilogy, if you prefer to read the Brixton story to this point in its entirety.
#6
Sea of Redemption
2024
Battle lines have well and truly been drawn between the Snakes and Brixtons and the formidable mafia boss, Tane Brown. And now they have new allies on their side. But can they truly be trusted? Or was their assistance merely a diabolical ploy. Now is the time to test just how far they're willing to go to prove their loyalty. And in the midst of it all, each group's relationships continue to grow. This is a spicy, dark mafia romance where the strong FMCs don't need to choose between their men. Reader discretion is advised.
