Her Fire Mates

2020

I walked those trails every day listening to the Enchanted Whispers, hearing the breath of the world across the swaying canopy of the trees. I loved my life, but unfortunately, I didn’t see the big changes on the horizon. Suddenly, my mother, Queen Omera was dead, and I was left with grief, responsibility, and a clue to my happily ever after. With my sister Iris in the thick of it, Althea back at the castle, and Indra off flipping her tail through some sort of blue Caribbean waters, I was forced to go it alone. I was told to not look too far, but how far was too far? My island kind of sat in the middle of the ocean. After a trip to the Fields of the Dragons, everything began to clear and my mind was focused on the danger that I had been facing and didn’t even know it. The Keepers, the Guide of the Souls, the Thieves of the Afterlife, were creeping from the shadows decades after their initial capture, and their leader was a very dangerous being. On top of all of that? I had to find my mates. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to go far. Finn, Zevi, and Ash had never been more than an island away, taking care of me, watching my mind, my body, and my soul, even if I had no idea they were there. Needing them was an understatement. With the Keepers returning, the list of souls multiplying, and the pesky Giant breathing down my neck, I was beginning to think my stars were crossed. Could my mates truly be the key to my unlocking? This is a fast burn standalone reverse harem shifter romance. Readers 18+.

My sisters were waiting for me, having finished their search for their mates, and the culmination of their powers. While I had done almost everything with them growing up, this voyage was for me and me alone.

Find the treasure, find the map. The map would lead me to where I needed to be. But there were dark forces beyond my understanding at play, and they didn't want me anywhere near my fated mates, or my sisters for that matter.

But when we stand upon the cliffs facing Sepitus as one, will we ever have a chance to live and grow? Or will this be the end to all living creatures of the world?

Her Fated Wolf Protector

2020

erena My life at the castle has been a sheltered one. Annoyingly sheltered. Sure, the blooming roses and constant magical presence is cool, but the constant watchdog from the Shifters and the Mer-People is very old.

My Mermaid aches for the free ocean, and my heart knows where it's destined to be. Sneaking out in the middle of the night to rescue my best friend from the Dark One was not where I thought I was destined to be. But it was my fault. And I wasn't traveling alone.

The future of all living creatures hangs in the balance, and it turns out, I'm more important than I thought. But can I rise to the occasion? Or will the ancestral right of Alphas go down in a flurry of dark magic and war? The answer is in me. But I don't know how to find it.
