Look away if you want to live...My life is a giant crap pile with a cherry thrown on top. I'm an immortal woman cursed to kill people with just a glance. And now I've been kidnapped by three mouthwateringly sexy gargoyles, who I'm pretty sure want me dead.But it gets better...While I'm trying to make the best of being a prisoner, guarded by yummy eye-candy, I'm also being dragged on a dangerous mission. One that throws me right back into a world which has haunted me for far too long. And if history repeats itself, might end in some seriously twisted scenarios.Things don't look good for me. But then, that's not unusual. What is? I think I'm not just risking my life this time, I'm risking my heart. And that's one thing that even monsters fear.MEDUSA'S DESTINY is a full-length romance with a sarcastic heroine, three gorgeous gargoyles (who our heroine doesn't have to choose between), and a tale full of twists and turns.

Their Own Sanctuary

2019

Medusa met her gargoyles. Fell in love. And had her babies. Now what? In the sanctuary, life's never boring. Between keeping up with twins, and keeping things hot with her gargoyles, Medusa has a chaotic life. Which she loves! But what happens when a strange creature is found hurt in their sanctuary? Her gargoyles don't trust it. Her daughters love it. And her feelings about it are complicated—except that she's bound and determined to prove her smug hotties wrong. THEIR OWN SANCTUARY is a short story in the Monsters and Gargoyles' world that follows up with Medusa after the events of Medusa's Destiny. Even though this is a separate story from the main series, it is recommended that you read Medusa's Destiny first. This story is also a reverse harem romance with a lot of heat, so don't think Medusa turned sweet after motherhood...

Keto's Tale

2019

Don't swim in my waters... I've got a bad reputation, and all because of my jackass brother. Yes, I'm known as the mother of all sea monsters. And yes, I can control powerful creatures who kill and destroy on my command. But no, I'm not actually in charge. I'm my brother's slave. So, life sucks just about as much as it possibly can. At least that's what I thought until my brother decides I'm more useful sacrificed to angry sea dragons who despise mermaids. And when I see gargoyles heading straight for me, all I'm left wondering is who will kill me first, the winged monster-hunters, or the angry sea dragons. What I don't expect? The gargoyles don't know who or what I am. So maybe, just maybe, if I can hide my identity long enough, I'll survive. But it might take a little distraction to accomplish. The thing is, I don't think I mind distracting four hard-as-stone gargoyles who can't stop staring. As long as at the end of this, I don't end up with my head on a platter. KETO'S TALE is a steamy reverse harem romance that involves one lucky mermaid and four hot gargoyles. It's also a #whychoose romance, meaning the heroine doesn't have to choose between her stone-hard love interests. But make sure you've cleared your calendar, because this is one book you want to binge read.

Celaeno's Fate

2019

Everyone hates a harpy... For the record, I don't drag people to Hades. I'm not a guardian of the Underworld. And I'm not an evil monster. I'm just... a shifter who happens to control birds. Dangerous? Yes. A monster? No. Unfortunately, most people disagree with me. For some stupid reason. So, it's no surprise when monster hunters, the stoic gargoyles themselves, track me down. What is a surprise? The gargoyles are kind of sexy. But unfortunately, they haven't kidnapped me for bedroom fun. They want to use my abilities to stop a curse and save a town. Easy, right? It's actually pretty damn hard. And then there's the other thing, I'm starting to think after my long life this little adventure might just be the thing that kills. CELAENO'S FATE is a reverse harem romance with a lot of action, steam, and adventure. It's also a #whychoose romance, meaning the heroine doesn't need to choose between her love interests.

Their Miracle Pregnancy

2019

No one calls Celaeno a harpy anymore. Not when she has three possessive gargoyles ready to kick their asses.

Celaeno is, after all, a powerful shifter capable of controlling birds. So when she sneaks out to get her men a little Valentine's surprise, she isn't worried. Until trouble finds her... Will Valentine's Day be ruined by a dangerous enemy? Or just three stubborn gargoyles? Or can it be saved with the perfect gift? THEIR MIRACLE PREGNANCY is a short story in the Monsters and Gargoyles' world that follows up with Celaeno after the events of Celaeno's Fate. Even though this is a separate story from the main series, it is recommended that you read Celaeno's Fate first. This story is also a reverse harem romance with a lot of heat, so don't think Celaeno loses her attitude just because she's pregnant...

Cerberus Unleashed

2019

Hellhounds have feelings too… If Hades thinks he’s going to drag me back to the Underworld, he might just learn that this fiery hound is more than just his daughter. Or his pet. Without my leash, this bi\\\* has a bite that’ll make him piss his godly pants. And maybe just maybe make him rethink that whole chaining me to the Underworld for eternity, decision. I can hope, right? The thing is, I know I’ll never actually be free of Hades. No matter how much I try to blend into the human world, a creature as wild and dangerous as me just can’t. That means my goal will always be just to stay one step ahead of him. To never get distracted. And never get attached. If I do those things, I might get to remain free. So then I must be a complete moron, because the second the three men move into the crappy apartment across from mine, I can’t seem to stay away from them. It isn’t love. Not even like. It’s more that they seem wild, untamed, and innocent in an unexpected way—just like me. I’ve been called every name under the sun, but the one that rings the truest is monster. I am a monster. Dangerous to everyone around me. So even though I can’t seem to fight my attraction to three strange men, I will. Because no matter what people call me, I won’t drag mortals into a fight among gods and monsters. Only, what if the three men are more than what they seem? And what if Hades isn’t the only one hunting me? CERBERUS UNCHAINED is a steamy reverse harem romance. It involves one lucky woman and three sexy gargoyles.

Lamia's Blood

2019

I am the greatest of monsters... Thousands of years ago I made a mistake. A terrible mistake that cost me everything. My dearest husband. My beloved children. Even my humanity. My curse makes me dangerous to all those around me, so I've secluded myself where I can never hurt another person again. But the Fates have other plans for me that don't include hiding for eternity. Three gargoyles I killed have returned from the dead to seek, not only revenge against me, but also to remove the curse I've inadvertently passed onto them. But if they can't provide me with the blood I need to quench my hunger, all of humanity will be in danger on our path. And so, we strike a deal: they'll provide me with blood, and I'll help to seek the answers to end this curse. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was afraid. Of trusting my enemies, yes, but more than anything, of trusting myself. I am a bloodthirsty monster that can shift into a dangerous form, that feeds on blood, that kills. Am I a fool to think I could be anything more? LAMIA'S BITE is a paranormal reverse harem romance featuring a vampiristic heroine and three sexy gargoyles.

I’m a monster. But shout out to all the jerks… I’m now a free monster. Life gave me a bad deck of cards. I was born in a prison. Escaped, leaving my mother behind, and came to the real world alone, only to discover that my demon-half had a hunger I couldn’t control. So, I was free… but not free. I was forced to haunt crossroads and end the lives of anyone with a dark heart who stopped. And then, suddenly, I’m released. With nothing else to do, and a world suddenly full of monsters, I decide to hunt the assholes. But when I meet a group of men, psycho gargoyles and a slightly less insane phoenix, I don’t know if we should be enemies or friends. Technically, we’re mortal enemies, but these guys are like no monster hunters I’ve met before, and I’m nothing like the creatures they hunt. At least in my humble opinion. But unfortunately for us, that’s not our only problem. And when our lives are on the line, we have to decide whether we can escape the shadows of our pasts, or if the evil inside of us is too strong to resist.
