Lightbringer

2021

An Enemies to Lovers Urban Fantasy with Demons, Portals, Witches, Renegade Gods, & Other Assorted Beasties. “Do you have a name?” she queried politely. “Caliginous,” he told her. “You may call me Cal. Or Calin.” Her lips pursed. “Cal. Calin. Caliginous. As in dark, misty,” she mused. “…also opaque. Difficult to understand.” “Indeed.” The creature smiled. Alexis is a Lightbringer, one of a race meant to protect the portals linking the worlds, to keep them safe from dark beings. Gods, monsters, demons, vampires, interdimensional bad guys – Alexis deals with them all, protecting humanity, protecting Earth. But something’s gone horribly wrong. Someone is murdering Lightbringers. The portals are all opening. The Traveler, Cal, was supposed to be there to help her. An odd race, Travelers historically helped and spied for the Lightbringers before, sliding in and out of dimensions, helping to patrol the portals, infiltrating, observing, nudging, influencing, reporting back to their betters. But the Travelers are tired of watching from the sidelines. And Cal isn’t an ordinary Traveler. LIGHTBRINGER is Book #1 in a brand new series, LIGHT & SHADOW, for fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural suspense.

White Dragon

2021

Alexis, ‘Lexi, ‘Lex, Lightbringer… Whatever they once called her, she is no more. Trapped in another dimension by a magical, twisted, and maddeningly persuasive being, Alexis soon realizes he wants her to help him destroy entire worlds. Alexis becomes his living key to pass through the portals, allowing him to open them up to the corruption of dark beings known only as “The Others.” No one knows what The Others truly want, but everywhere they go, they enslave planets, bending entire cultures, entire histories to their will. The king who kidnapped her doesn’t care about any of that. For him, The Others are only a means to an end. He has his own agenda, one Alexis must discover if she ever hopes to escape him and stop The Others from imposing darkness on all the known worlds. If her captor, the king, succeeds in handing control of the dimensions to these beings, he will destroy everything Alexis’s mother raised her to protect, everything she was trained to fight for. They call him The White Dragon. He is a king, an usurper, a radical. He’s also claimed Alexis as his mate. WHITE DRAGON is Book #2 in a brand new series, LIGHT & SHADOW, for fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural suspense.

Dark Gods

2021

The gates are closed. The world could be plunged forever into darkness. And Alexis, the last Lightbringer… Is a Lightbringer no more. Alexis got them through the last portal. She saved her friends, saved her world from the dark beings known as The Others. She got them all away. Well… most of them. Now, everything she thought she won appears to be lost. The gates she’d closed to save them might never open again, leaving her world cut off from the light of the forces of good. Worse, Alexis might be the last person in the manifest worlds who can save any of them. She’s lost her Lightbringer magics. She can’t summon a dimensional portal. She can’t even cast a basic finder spell. Everything she once was, every power she once wielded, appears to be gone, and she has no idea if it will ever come back. She’s stuck living as a human, in a world that desperately needs a Lightbringer. She has friends to protect, the last of her kind stranded in another dimension, a boyfriend to send back to his home world… a whole multiverse that needs her. To make matters worse, The Others haven’t finished with her, or finished trying to conquer her world. When they come after her this time, she’s not the same being she was. She’s not the Lightbringer. She’s just a regular person. A regular person who has to somehow hold back the worst darkness this world has ever known. DARK GODS is Book #3 in LIGHT & SHADOW, for fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural suspense.

Lord of Light

2021

The Others exist on her world now. In her dimension. Harming her people. The bad news is, they have perhaps always been here. Alexis lost all her powers when she closed the last portal. Her lover, her partner, nearly died, stabbed and shot by the remaining members of his family. Now they’ve returned to Los Angeles, knowing only that they are running out of time. She saved her friends, saved her world from the dark beings known as The Others… only to find out they have been here all along, that they never left, and now their dark magicks are fighting a final battle for the soul of her world. Everyone believes only Alexis can save them. To do so, first she must conquer her own demons, her own weaknesses, her own fears, and relearn the true meaning of what it means to be a Lightbringer. She also must find a cure for a mysterious spell that’s knocked out more than half her allies before they could join the fight. With the help of a Hollywood fire angel, the fire angel’s grumpy, possibly-deadly angel boyfriend, a coven of witches, a werewolf pack, a necromancer, and the woman who raised her, Alexis has one more shot at keeping evil from dominating her world’s future. It might just mean doing the one thing Alexis can never seem to make herself do. Trust people. Trust people, even when they’ve given her every reason not to. Not go it alone. Not try to do everything herself. It goes against everything she’s ever been taught, everything drilled into her from her earliest childhood, every hard lesson she’s ever been forced to learn. But she may have no choice… not if she wants to keep her husband, her friends, and her family alive. The fourth and final installment of the Light & Shadow series! LORD OF LIGHT is Book #4 in LIGHT & SHADOW, for fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural suspense.
