Stolen Crush

2021

Finding out you’re the daughter of a millionaire true crime novelist isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When I was two, I was kidnapped. Kidnapped by a loving family, sure, but still kidnapped. Now, my biological mom wants me to live with her on the opposite side of the country. Her … and my new stepdad and his jerk of a son: Parrish. Wannabe tattoo artist, languorous rich boy, pouty mouth. Starting a new life on the West Coast sucks, especially when there’s no love lost between me and my new family. Oh, and my biological father? Did I mention that he’s a serial killer who wants me to play his games? Find the right clues, follow the right trail, or someone I love gets hurt. But what if he’s just kidnapped someone I hate instead? Parrish Vanguard is a royal asshole. The question is: does he deserve to die? With the help of Parrish’s best friends—Maxx and Chasm—I have to risk everything to save a boy who considers himself my sworn enemy. Even if I save his ass, he’ll never thank me. Lucky for him that our love-hate relationship isn’t a deal breaker. I’ll play, Dad. Start the game. STOLEN CRUSH is a 180,000 word love-hate/high school romance with suspense/thriller themes. Includes foul language and sexual scenes; any sex featured is consensual. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest.

Payback Princess

2021

Finding out you’re the daughter of a famous serial killer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. My father—the Seattle Slayer—is charismatic, intelligent, and charming. He’s also trying to teach me to kill people, so … his good qualities don’t seem to matter much. He’s kidnapped my boyfriend, a guy that I used to hate but grew to love. Parrish, I’m coming for you. I’ll do anything—anything—to keep you safe. Starting a new life as the most hated girl in Whitehall Prep was not in my gameplan. But when I asked my dad what the point of all this was, you know what he said? “It’s payback, Princess.” The upper crust families in Medina have wrongs to answer for, wrongs that will be paid in blood—by me. Justin Prior is back in town, and he's brimming with secrets. The question is: how far will I go to uncover them? Parrish is bruised and bleeding; Chasm burns with violent heat; Maxx is a thundercloud waiting in the wings. Lumen lies. Danyella knows. Kimber fights back. Welcome to Medina, b\*tches. Love-hate is in the air, and it isn't just me that feels it. This town is cursed in blood and diamonds. I’ll win this thing, Dad. Do your worst.

Endgame Romance

2022

Finding out you’re in love with three impossible boys isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The stepbrother. The boyfriend’s best friend. The sister’s ex. Life would be complicated enough if we didn’t have to navigate a social circle populated with serial killers. My father has gathered a loyal group of monsters around himself like a shield. There’s the black widow, the arsonist, the mild-mannered poet with a penchant for blood, the crooked cop, and, of course, the Seattle Slayer. Maintaining three new romances is nearly as dangerous a proposition. Oh, and my biological mother? She knows about the boys, but not the killers. My original kidnapper—the woman I thought was my mom—she knows about the killers and not the boys. Some days, it feels like the entire world is a web of secrets and deceit—much of it spun by yours truly. The girl I once knew as Dakota Banks is fading like a distant star. The question is: how far will I let my father push me? He might have an app that records and watches everything; he might have a plan of righteous revenge. But there are two things the Seattle Slayer doesn’t understand: love and loyalty. He thought he could drive us apart when all he did was push us closer together. And together, we are stronger. This is the endgame, Dad. Let’s finish this. ENDGAME ROMANCE is a 300,000 word love-hate/high school romance with suspense/thriller themes. Includes foul language and sexual scenes; any sex featured is consensual. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book three of three in the series.

Game Over Boys

2023

Finding out your serial killer dad wants you to un-alive your boyfriends … Well, it sucks. Even worse if one of those guys is lying when he says he loves you. The worst when two of them are lying to your face. If all three of them do it … game over. I might be known as Gamer Girl, but I wasn’t prepared for this. Choice and betrayal. Romance and death. Mostly, consequences and hard truths. Coming out of this alive will be a miracle; surviving with my heart intact is impossible. Oh, and my summer vacation? Total disaster. The beginning of junior year? Complete nightmare. My wedding … it’s a bloodbath. Maxx, Parrish, I thought you guys had my back?! Whatever. Romance is so overrated. Fresh graves will be dug in Medina; the body count will be high. New players will enter the game as the stakes rise, a crescendo of opulence and violence. There are actions I’ll take that I should’ve taken from the beginning, actions that will turn out differently than I ever could’ve imagined. Who wants to help me catch a serial killer? Checkmate, Dad. It’s game over. GAME OVER BOYS is a 346,000 word love-hate/high school romance with suspense/thriller themes. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book four of four, and it completes the series.
