Courted

2015

"An awesomely fun, modern day fairy tale!" - Lori Foster, NYT bestselling author Aspiring concert violist Emmaline Aurora Grace Andrews is torn between her love of family and her love of music. A year ago, she deferred entering a prestigious graduate program to help her parents recover from a devastating accident. Now the deferment is expiring, but her parents still need her. Worse, every time she plays her audition piece, she mangles it. Is it too late to be the musician she'd always dreamed of? Should she even try? Determined to get clarity, Emmaline accepts a friend's offer for a whirlwind European vacation. First Stop: a real live fantasy kingdom—the perfect place to sort wishes from reality. Prince Kristos Andris was a respected captain in his nation's military... Was. In the wake of the tragic death of his elder brother, he's managed to avoid his duties as the new Crown Prince of Garronia for months. But now he must accept his responsibilities and leave his troops behind. Outraged at the restrictions of his new royal position, he'll do anything for one last adventure. So when opportunity suddenly lands in his arms in the form of a dreamy-eyed American girl, he embraces it (and her) for all he's worth. What's the harm in a quick fling, after all? It won't change what he knows he must do... Only this is Garronia in the summertime, where passion has a way of ruining even the most sensible of plans.

Captured

2016

Next to her beauty, I’m nothing but a beast. That doesn’t change my job. The best friend of the future queen of Garronia may be a pain-in-the-ass celebutante, but she’s got a ruthless billionaire on her perfectly-formed tail, and nowhere else to run. If the bastard wants her, though, he’ll have to get through me. But little by little I realize things aren’t what they seem. Is this haughty, foolhardy American blonde hiding real terror behind her icily perfect façade? The more I learn, the more protecting her becomes my only goal. I’ll tease her—tempt her—do whatever it takes to keep her safely by my side. I just can’t fall in love with her.

Claimed

2016

As Garronia’s chief diplomatic ambassador, there’s no challenge I won’t accept from the crown. No task too dirty, no op too dangerous. Then they ask me to team up with a daredevil American too brash for her own good, serving as my cover in in a daring reconnaissance mission to find the long-lost royal prince. A mission so foolhardy…it might just work. If the American doesn’t get herself killed, first.

Crowned

2016

Trauma psychologist-in-training Francesca Simmons would like to think she can help anyone, as long as she keeps herself centered, focused… controlled. Then she meets a man in desperate need of that zen-state serenity… and he makes her absolutely crazy. Ryker Stavros has been rotting in prison his entire life… the life he can remember anyway, which began a year ago in fire and pain. When an angel steps into his world with maddeningly cool hands and gentle words that set his soul on fire, telling him he’s not at all who he believes he is, he knows she’s only trying to help…But the devil in him won’t rest until he makes her his.

Cursed

2017

When the prince she was supposed to marry falls for someone else, Edeena Saleri is done with Garronia's courts, crowns, and family curses. She grabs her sisters and escapes to the nobility-free coast of South Carolina, USA. Refuge isn't anything like it's supposed to be, however. The family's island vacation home now borders a singles' retreat, which Edeena's sisters embrace all too eagerly. Worse, the private protection firm Edeena hires is run by the most infuriating man she's ever met—a rough-hewn, dark-eyed, charismatic charmer named, of course, Prince. He's not a royal and he's nowhere near noble, so there's no way he can break the family curse. And yet... Vincent "Prince" Rallis has spent his whole life justifying his name. The son of hardworking immigrant parents, he's hustled for every dime, finally building a personal security firm with the muscle and grit to live up to its promises. He's used to keeping his cool, but when the high-strung, high-class Edeena shuts him down despite her obvious interest, pride demands he fight for her—even if he has to track her back to her glittering court to prove his point. Only once Prince arrives in the seaside kingdom of Garronia, he finds his troubles are just beginning. Sometimes love in Garronia can be magic. And sometimes you're just Cursed.
