The Bride Collector
2023
Someone—something—is hunting brides, and I need answers.
Centuries ago, monsters from our myths, fairytales, and nightmares invaded our world. To most they are invisible, but not to me.
From my elegant campervan headquarters, with my sidekick demon cat, Lump, I investigate paranormal problems.
In my search for the truth, I break into a bookshop owned by Harrow. He easily traps me, but Harrow is a Stitched soldier, given enhanced abilities for the sole purpose of killing the creatures not of our world.
Two monsters share possession of his scarred body. Drawn into their carnal maelstrom, I am taken and owned by all three.
A man caressing me, the lure of the incubus, the tentacles of a kraken – I have found a love I could never have imagined.
Yet our love may be shattered, for the hunt is still on.
The Bride Collector has another victim in his sights.
Me.
We four must destroy this immortal or die trying.
“Mysteries are solved, demons are banished, epic battles are fought and there’s still time for lots of k\nky, smutty, tentacle, incubus, and supernatural human s\x.” Janine, Goodreads reviewer.

Viktoria – Will she finally get to use the Romance word in her diary, as well as the F word and the D word?
Harrow – He just wants her, any which way, even after he becomes two instead of three.
Ashcadel – When the incubus gets free of Harrow and takes full possession of a new, A-grade, man-bod, there is only one annoying female he wants to turn upside down and thoroughly explore – Viktoria.
Beez – he lurks inside Harrow, he waits, and he lends a few helping tentacles when the need for violence is great or the steam is off the chain.
Lump – is an arrogant supernatural feline and a creature of nightmare. But fear him not. All Lump wants is to purr in Viktoria’s lap, fetch what her heart desires, and watch the action when her three males get busy.
The Bride Collector is a standalone romance.
Nightmare Rising is Book 2 and the first part of the romance between Val and Zara.
The third book will neatly tie everything together, and bring back Harrow, Ash, Viktoria, and Beez as side characters, while Zara and Val get their Happily Ever After—okay, not so neatly since it's a slippery mess of tentacles, monsters, weirdness, and some mythological creatures that like doing despicably filthy things.
Content advisory: mildly dark theme, graphic content, SA by the villain, violence, and some gore.

DARK EROTIC PARANORMAL ROMANCE
It's the monster you invite into your bed that you should fear.

Monsters Burning Bright
2023
The Love of my Life is dying.
Though Val wears the body of the Nightmare King, the creature who violated me, I will not let him die.
Bloodied and bruised, I enter the halfway realm, and I drag him from the Gates of Hell, or maybe Heaven.
Yet my actions have drastic consequences. Gods, demons, a creature called Death, and even a minotaur, all want a piece of Val. Being possessed by them seems the only way to keep him powered up and alive.
To stop the Nightmare King, Val and I have joined a haphazardly formed company of soldiers, CIA, immortals and Stitched warriors.
But there is a problem I did not foresee.
There are side effects to being possessed…
Val has something inside him, and I’m afraid of what it might be.
Can I save my love again? And is it safe to go near him?
