Dragon's Secret

2023

A never-ending winter ... a stolen magic ... a hidden identity. What secrets does the enchanting sorcerer keep within his winter castle? When the Shift tore open the veil between our reality and the hidden one, the world as we knew it ended. Now, magic is real, but advanced technology has long been lost to history. In the ever-frozen land of Norðurey, a new civilization thrives amidst the ruins of the Dead World. All my life, I’ve aspired to become one of the most learned magic users in the realm—that was why I came to the High College of Magi in the first place. Finally, I’ve graduated from junior to senior mage, but before I can enjoy my newfound privileges, my headmistress gives me a special task: travel to the island of an exiled wizard and convince him to accept me as his apprentice. My journey is long and perilous, as a massive dragon seems to stalk my path … but upon my arrival, the wizard’s company is no reprieve. Amon is unlike any man I’ve ever met. His demands and glacial eyes hold a dark seduction, yet he keeps me at arm’s length, as solitary and cold as the ancient castle in which he dwells. But if the castle is as isolated as he claims, why do I keep hearing screams in the night? …And why do I suspect that Amon is connected to the dragon who threatened my life? If I can uncover the secrets of the ice-bound castle and melt the heart of its master, it could mean achieving my life’s goal. Or, it could end my life entirely. This is the first book in the Everwinter Series, a trilogy inspired by Icelandic mythology and dragons. It is a slow-burn, angst-filled fantasy romance with a dark twist, and pulls inspiration from Beauty and the Beast, Phantom of the Opera, and Gothic romance. The steaminess increases as the series progresses.

Dragon's Token

2023

Magdelne sought to free the dragon she loves. Now, she might be cursed to share his grim fate. Two weeks ago, I was a newly appointed senior mage on the path to becoming a wizard. Now, I’m in a strange land, harboring an escaped dragon whose love I can never accept—and I am one of the only beings in Norðurey who might know how to stop the brutal, year-round winters plaguing the northern islands. But my hopes of breaking the Everwinter are dashed when I’m abducted by an old enemy and imprisoned in his deadly volcanic palace. It seems Epiphron’s former master will stop at nothing to recapture his thrall, including using me as bait. Tortured by the twisted family under the mountain, I must use every ounce of my cleverness and tenacity to survive … as well as magic I shouldn’t be able to wield. But by the time Epiphron comes to rescue me—if he comes to rescue me—will there be anything left to save? This is the second book in the Everwinter Series, a trilogy inspired by Icelandic mythology and dragons. It is a slow-burn, angst-filled fantasy romance with a dark twist, and pulls inspiration from Beauty and the Beast, Phantom of the Opera, and Gothic romance. The steaminess increases as the series progresses.

Gift of the Magi

2023

Under the midwinter stars, love's truest gifts are revealed. EPIPHRON The Everwinter is gone, but still I find myself haunted by a restless longing. When my wife Magdelne reveals her state-of-the-art arcane telescope, her joy kindles a new purpose in me. Determined to gift her something equally wondrous for the Midwinter holidays, I embark on a perilous quest to the lair of a being known as The Collector. It is a journey fraught with dangerous choices, where each step brings me closer to an irreversible sacrifice that could either deepen our bond or shatter it forever. ANDRICK Midwinter is upon us, and with it, a chance to reveal my hidden affection for the clever inventor Hloti. Amidst the festive celebration, I yearn to bridge the gap between us with the warmth of Yuletide traditions. But as I navigate mistletoe mishaps and my own tangled emotions, the risk of courting such a discerning woman looms large. My endeavor to win her heart is a gamble of love and truth, where the price of a misstep could cost me everything. Ready for The Everwinter Series to be wrapped up with a nice bow? GIFT OF THE MAGI is a cozy, Yuletide romance novella set four years after the close of Dragon's Chosen, inspired by the classic "Gift of the Magi" Christmas tale. In this relatively low-stakes holiday story, expect songs, feasts, fluff, and (of course) spice. Trigger warnings can be found on my website.
