Second Chance Fate

"My name is Amber Whitman, and I’m seventeen years old. After a fatal accident last month, the government decided my magic is too dangerous to be around normal people. So where does that leave me? At the Second Chance Academy, with three moody men, one grumpy cat, and a life sentence for murder. But things are not as they seem. My survival may depend on learning quickly who to trust and who to run from." This is book one of the Second Chance Academy series, a the-more-the-merrier, medium-burn novel with a HFN.

Kidnapped. Drained. Killed. "On the first day of the new term, I witness a brutal kidnapping at the academy. But when I report it to the head witch, she fobs me off. Soon, dark powers are coming for my friends and me. I know one thing: only united can we stand against the unknown enemy. But with our powers still developing and my boys fighting each other, I don't know if we will survive the second term at the Second Chance Academy." This is book two of the Second Chance Academy series, a reverse harem, medium-burn novel with a HFN. Also, what's up with the damned cat?!?

Second Chance Hope

2021

"Death had left its stains not just on my clothes, but also on my skin and my soul. The washing machine and the shower would take care of the first two, but the deeper taint on my conscience might never be washed away." Last term, I found a death list. This term, I’m on it. I thought things were settling down. That the worst things I’d face are final exams. Wrong. One by one, my boys disappear until I’m the only one left. Still reeling from discovering I’m surrounded by more human-adjacent people I knew existed, my whole world tilts when I’m thrown into an alternate reality. Or the same one, only different. Who knows. Not me, that’s for sure. So what am I supposed to do now? Rolling over and waiting for death isn’t my style. I prefer going down kicking my enemies in the balls. Or beg them to let me go. Their choice. This is book three of the Second Chance Academy series, a reverse harem, medium-burn novel with a HFN. Even though it may not seem that way... Please note that this is a steamy novel suitable for adults.

Second Chance Heat

2021

Careful what you wish for! We finally made it out of the academy. Struggling with a devastating loss, I thought things were looking up. Especially after we were rescued by the magical FBI. Turns out my old enemies are still hunting us. And new forces have joined them, intent to drain us of our powers. Since nobody survives the procedure, we're not planning on getting captured. Remember what they say about best laid plans? Yeah. About that. So here we are again. Struggling against overwhelming odds. And the damned cat isn't helping! I wished I was back behind the safe walls of the Second Chance Academy... This is the fourth book of the Second Chance Academy series, a story strictly for adults because of steamy scenes and adult subject matters.

Second Chance Doom

2021

What do a former ghost, a half incubus, a confused human-cat hybrid, and a damaged orphan have in common? Me. Amber Whitman. Bearer of Lightning. Smiter of Evil. And a girl who’s trying to keep them from killing each other. After we destroyed the Second Chance Academy, we find ourselves at the Magical FBI’s headquarters. The Assistant Director offers us trainee positions that come with a condition: ignore that our former principal was the head of a people trafficking gang. And leave the kidnapped humans to die. I might be a petite blonde who’s scared more often than she’d like to admit. But I know what I want. And a cushy job at the expense of everybody else is not it. I’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the bastards behind the evil master plan. Alone, if need be. Or with my men by my side. The choice is theirs. All I know is that I’m ready to take names and kick ass. This is a medium burn, spicy love story, full of adventure and excitement. Please note: don't read if you're not an adult. If you are, you'll find a love story between a girl and her four boyfriends. There's mm goodness, Fae hotness, and all kinds of shenanigans.
