Greed

2019

For hundreds of years, Nightmares have ruled the world. Descended from the Seven Deadly Sins, these supernatural creatures have enslaved and tortured the human race. I have lived my entire life fighting back against the monsters that have plagued this world. A deadly assassin and a member of the resistance, I only have one motto: kill or be killed. When The Damning commences - a fight to the death against the world's most brutal serial killers, assassins, and torturers - a twist of fate finds me as one of the competitors. Despite my initial reluctance, I find myself eagerly participating. But what I didn't count on, however, were the seven princes: Lupe, a Shifter descended from Wrath. Devlin, a Genie descended from Greed. Jax, a Vampire descended from Gluttony. Killian, an Incubus descended from Lust. Ryland, a Shadow descended from Pride. Sebastian, a Mage descended from Sloth. And, Dair, a Mermaid descended from Envy. Our love could never be. I'm an assassin, and they are my targets. But who ever said I needed to follow the rules? If only I can survive The Damning... This is a medium-burn reverse harem romance. Expect a kick-ass, snarky MC, seven swoon-worthy heroes, and a lot of bloodshed. This is book 1 in a series.

Envy

2019

I may have won The Damning... ...but the games have only just begun. Forced to participate in seven tasks, each designated by one of the seven kings, my life has just become exponentially more complicated. First task? Travel to the Mermaid King with my mate and his sadistic brothers and kill a nameless, faceless, non-existent man. Easy. But the kings aren't the only ones playing games. Someone wants me dead. Someone who is willing to resurrect dead supernatural creatures in order to achieve their goal. Oh and Bash is still being an ass. What's new? One thing becomes clear: I have to decide if I'm going to accept the mate bonds or forsake my destiny. All I wanted was to be a good little assassin and kill some Nightmares. Why does my life have to suck so hard? This is a reverse harem series featuring a kickass assassin and her seven deadly lovers. These books contain scenes that might be triggering for some readers including strong language, sexual situations, and violence. Reader discretion is advised.

Gluttony

2020

I thought I had survived the kings’ games. I thought I had finally emerged victorious. I was wrong. Reeling from the disappearance of one of my mates, I must fight harder and smarter than ever before. The new game? A scavenger hunt. The prize? My lost mate. With the world in political unrest, assassins hunting us at every turn, and new alliances being forged and old ones being broken, I don’t know if I’ll make it out of this alive. Especially with the poison still coursing through my blood. Maybe... Maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment. Let the new Damning commence. This is book three of a seven book reverse harem series. That means the FMC will not have to choose between love interests at the end. This book contains strong language, sexual situations, and scenes of graphic violence. Reader's discretion is advised.

Pride

2022

One of my mates is more beast than man. Another is on a suicide mission. Oh, and I’m engaged to someone I consider a brother. What else could possibly go wrong? Famous last words. After returning to the kings after completing the latest trial, my mates and I thought we might actually be able to take our next step in overthrowing them. Boy, were we wrong. Lupe has gone insane after he felt me die, Devlin is determined to seek revenge on Aaliyah who he deems responsible, and Ryland’s father is imprisoned for helping my people. To put the final nail in the coffin, I’m engaged to Axel—batshit crazy Axel with a penchant for sharp machetes. Our newest mission? Save Lupe, find Devlin, meet up with the missing members of the resistance, kill the kings, and then finally, finally stop Aaliyah. Easy peasy. But when our search leads us deep into the Forest of Monsters and Beasts, we discover that this journey might not be as straightforward as it seems. Dangerous forces are at play, and we’re nothing but pawns on a game board. The thing is… I’m not a piece to be played, an instrument to be strummed, a joker to be laughed at. I’m the kingdom’s assassin, the Liberator, and it’s about time they remembered that. The streets will be painted red with blood before I allow the kings or my deranged sister to hurt another one of my mates again. But what if the cost of their protection…is my own morality? Just what am I willing to give up for love? Pride is the fifth of a seven book reverse harem series. This means that the FMC will not have to choose between her love interests at the end. This book contains strong language, sexual situations, and scenes of graphic violence. Reader's discretion is advised.

Lust

2023

There’s magic inside of me. Dark, insidious magic that wants to claim me—heart, body, and soul. At least I have my sister by my side. I know I can always count on her…right? So why do my body and heart crave the touch of seven nightmares? Why does my soul cry out for a shy, sweet incubus with red hair and earnest eyes? An incubus who claims to love me and says I love him in return…even if I can’t remember? My head tells me to forget Killian and the others. My heart tells me there’s something I need to remember, something important, something involving the seven men I’m supposed to hate… With new truths revealed, a past uncovered, and relationships tested, I’m beginning to wonder if my entire life is a lie. One thing I know for certain—a war is coming. I just don’t know what side of it I’m going to end up on. Lust is the sixth of a seven book reverse harem series. This means that the FMC will not have to choose between her love interests at the end. This book contains strong language, sexual situations, and scenes of graphic violence.
