Mowab Rider

2017

I’ll go anywhere to find Princess Ilara. Even to the Wilds—where people disappear and don’t come back. The rebels are resisting King Oderon’s rule. I don’t blame them, I’d resist too if I could get away with it. But the rebels don’t know that. They’ll kill me and never ask questions. Especially now that they’re united by a rebel who can tame the mowabs, the fiercest animals of all Origins. Anyone who can ride mowabs must be as beastly as they are. Good thing Dolpheus has my back. We’ll need every one of his skills and all of mine to escape the Mowab Rider with our lives.

Planet Origins

2017

She’s alive. He can feel it. And nothing will prevent him from bringing her home. Tormented by the loss of Princess Ilara, Lord Tanus of Planet O is determined to prove that not all was lost the day assassins infiltrated the Andaron Dynasty’s defenses. Despite the belief that the Queen and her daughter are dead, Tanus is prepared to do whatever it takes to find the woman he loves, whatever planet she’s on, even if it means matching wits with the King himself. But when a meeting with the King reveals that Tanus’ family is directly responsible for the attack on the Crown, Tanus finds himself thrust into a power struggle. One that will, for better or worse, decide the fate of the entire planet. Tormented by his dark past, Tanus knows he might die in his attempts. But he and Dolpheus, who’s always had his back, believe they can do the impossible. Nothing will keep them from trying to return Ilara to Planet Origins. Even if every nefarious character on the planet is out to stop them. If you’re into mind-bending powers, intriguing conspiracies, and out-of-this-world heroes with attitude to spare, you’ll love the Planet Origins series. Note: This book contains language unsuitable for children.

Original Elements

2017

The most cunning and powerful men on O are out to get Tanus. So he does what he does best. He fights back. Tanus and fellow soldier Dolpheus are no closer to discovering what planet Princess Ilara is on or how to get her back. Even though they’ve broken every rule. Even though they’ve merged with the minds and bodies of kings and courtiers and nearly lost their heads. The King’s dying. Restoring Ilara to the throne is all that can protect the people of Origins from the tyrants waiting to rule. But the only way to find Ilara is straight through a nest of vipers and a labyrinth of memories a thousand years old. Tanus needs Ilara—the woman, not the princess—now more than ever before. Rescuing her seems an impossible feat. It’s a good thing Tanus and Dolpheus believe nothing’s impossible. There’s no one better to prove it than them.

Holographic Princess

2017

Ilara needs to prove she’s the princess of Origins. Most of all, she needs to prove it to herself. Ilara’s used to following her instincts. They’ve just never before led her through a portal in a lightning storm. To another planet. Straight into the arms of a stranger. This stranger thinks he knows her—in every possible way across every part of her body. She swears she’s never seen him before, but her body responds as if she knows him too. Her father’s supposed to be an auto plant manager, not a king of a planet. She’s a storm chaser, not a warrior princess in skimpy clothing. There shouldn’t be two suns and a purple moon. But there are, and Tanus is too familiar. Besides, where would she go without Tanus when she doesn’t know the way back to earth? And there’s the little problem of people out to kill her and take over the rule of O. Princess or not, they’re coming for her. But only if she doesn’t get to them first.

Purple Worlds

2017

Tanus still isn't sure if this Ilara is the princess or if the real one's on Planet Sand. What's worse, now he doesn't want to know, he risks losing what he most desires. The monarchy is vulnerable and so are the people of Origins. They need the princess. This Ilara remembers the strengths of a warrior—at least, her body does even if her mind doesn't—she'll protect them no matter who she really is or where she's from. If the men who intend to rule weren't out to stop her and make her assassination a more permanent end. If she could hide until she claimed the throne and she weren't the most recognizable woman on O. But nothing come's easy when most people believe you dead, and the ones who don't, are trying to kill you. When you might be on the wrong planet. She's a fierce woman with a sensual sway that does things to Tanus no woman besides her has ever been able to do. He'll oppose nasty moguls, evil courtiers, she-dragons, and persistent bad luck just to hold on. Good thing fellow soldier Dolpheus has his back, because the ride's never been bumpier. If you like stories with non-stop adventure, mind-bending powers, sultry princesses, and badass heroes with attitude to spare, you’ll love Purple Worlds, the fourth book in the Planet Origins series.

Planet Sand

Holographic Convergence

2018

Ilara is a princess—maybe. King Oderon has done everything in his power to keep the princess’ identity a secret. Ilara must rely on Tanus to discover the truth. But there’s a catch. If Tanus discovers the real princess, Ilara will lose him. To reveal the truth, they’ll have to risk their lives, using their energy bodies in unproven ways… on an alien planet. And they’d better hurry. Because if they don’t, they won’t have a home to return to.
