Sinners

2021

Before Salem Tempest was a priest, he was a sinner. For years, I partied. Fucked. Smoked. Drank. I had it all, and the world was my oyster. But then it all came crashing down, and I soon found myself drunk at Notre Dame de Paris, befriending the head priest. Before I knew it, I was giving it all up for a clerical collar and The Lord's Prayer. Until I met her. Because she made me want to give it all up again–she made me want to go back to my old ways. Twice. Three times. Ten. Over the desk and sitting on top of me. Any way that made her mine. Forgive us our tresspasses... SINNERS is a prequel novella to the HEATHENS series. It does not need to be read first. Suggested reading order: SINNERS (optional) HEATHENS MONSTERS VILLAINS

Heathens

2017

Paris is home to runaways and lost souls, romantics and artists. A lover’s paradise. For Lilith Damewood, Paris is tainted, tarnished, corroded. Trying to claw her way out of her dark memories, she channels her vitriol into her photography. Salem Tempest is a seminary student entrusted with the souls of Notre Dame de Paris—even the dark ones. When an unlikely friendship forms between the two of them, and a revelation shakes them both to their core, Lily and Salem find themselves connected in powerful and unexpected ways. Lily risks his ruin—and her own. After all, even holy men can fall. And salvation may be closer than they realize. HEATHENS is a dark romance that connects five souls in a web of choice, sin, revenge, and redemption. It may be considered blasphemous to some. It is intended for mature readers. HEATHENS is book 1 in the HEATHENS duet. BELIEVERS, book 2, will be releasing in 2018. Both books can be read as a standalone.

Monsters

2021

Can I destroy the monsters without becoming one? Evelyn Snow is impenetrable—daring, defiant, and oftentimes reckless. After escaping the worst thing imaginable, tempting death brings her solace. Now a student at Oxford, she’s trying to move on. The last thing she expects is an invitation to the Blackfriars Brotherhood—a secret society based in London. It’s a proposition she can’t pass up. Benedict Martin is the son of a monster. Attempting to distance himself from his father, he moves to London and reinvents his life. When the past comes back to haunt him in the form of Evelyn Snow, he knows he should keep her safe, push her away—but he can’t help but admire her courage and resilience. Instead, he invites her to join him in the darkness. When they finally surrender to the scorching connection between them, it’s a fight between carnal depravity, vengeance, and forgiveness—one neither of them knows the outcome of until they’re staring the enemy in the eyes. Maybe monsters are born—or perhaps they can be honed. MONSTERS is book two of the HEATHENS series. It is highly recommended that HEATHENS (book one) be read first for the best reader experience. \*Please note that this book contains descriptions of physical/sexual abuse, sexual assault, human trafficking, violence, trauma, and cult-like scenarios.
