Devil May Breathe

2025

A Devil of Vitality always stalks the one they love. Zane Solace is determined to make himself irreplaceable. All his life, he's either been a second choice or someone's backup plan. Zane's promised himself that won't be the case ever again, and the best way to achieve that goal is by becoming the Royal Physician of the Imperial family. As a senior at Vail University, he's close to his goal, but juggling his responsibilities among the Retinue, his duty toward the Imperial Heir, and keeping his brother out of prison keep him busy. The last thing he needs is another distraction, especially one in the shape of Pavel, a fellow Retinue member who suddenly seems far too interested in Zane for comfort. Pavel Hart is desperate to be seen. He's spent the better part of the last five years standing on the sidelines, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make himself known. When he finds out Zane has finally ended things with his other lovers, he realizes that perfect time has come, and he isn't willing to take things slow or gently. Pavel has wanted Zane for a lot longer than anyone realizes, and that want has grown into a cloying obsession even he can't control. He'll seize every opportunity he can to bring Zane closer to him, to make him accept that the two of them belong together and always have. Even if Zane can't seem to remember the past they once shared or the promises they once made. Zane isn't willing to be used and discarded ever again, and the last thing he wants is to trust the wrong person based on pretty words—no matter how great the chemistry in the bedroom is. He's torn between his growing interest in a man he hadn't paid any attention to in the past and his goal. When the Imperial Heir and his brother both cause issues, Zane has to decide if he should lean on Pavel or abandon him. No matter what he chooses, one truth remains. Pavel isn't willing to let go, and it isn't that easy to escape the devil. Trigger Warning: This is a stand-alone dark romance which means there are many themes that some might find disturbing. Some of these include, but are not limited to, dub-con, violence, an obsessed stalker who doesn't hold back once he's made his presence known, and explicit sexual content not suitable for all readers. Please be sure to read the Author's Note for a complete list of warnings! HEA guaranteed! Though this book takes place on the same planet as the previous in the series, each of these is a stand-alone.

Devil May Fall

2024

A Devil of Vitality always courts chaos. Aneski Kendricks wants to know what happened to his brother. And why he was so brutally tossed aside by the one person who should have stuck by him after Russ’s death. It took three years of hard work climbing the ladder to gain leadership of the Shepard gang, but he's finally in a position to demand answers. Even from the devil himself. Too bad the devil and the man he used to all but worship are one and the same. Aneski's plan has always been to get revenge, and not just for his brother, though that's what he tells his friends. He wants to know what happened to Russ, true, but he also wants to know why he was abandoned. If only revenge was as easy as it sounded. Once he’s got Flix where he wants him, it should be, but Ani’s old emotions keep getting in the way. Will his pent-up desire cost him his last shred of decency? What did it say about him that he could still want the man who possibly murdered his brother? Flix Fulmini is a Runner by trade. As the official Runner/Fixer of the Brumal Mafia, he's got sneaking around and secret-keeping down to an art form. Aneski is just a name on a long list of them he’s withholding information from, and out of all those names, he’s the last person Flix feels threatened by. Which is why it's so shocking when he's kidnapped on Vail University campus and wakes up chained to a wall drenched in ice water. Even more surprising is realizing who his captor is. Three years ago, Flix left Aneski behind, but the guy has been holding a grudge ever since. Not to mention the fact he's convinced Flix has something to do with his brother's death, which he isn't entirely wrong about. Flix has been hiding more than a few things, and for good reason, but when Aneski sinks his claws into him and yanks some of those secrets out, Flix has a tough decision to make. Kill Ani before he can tattle to the Brumal? Or force him to his knees? Flix originally left for Aneski's own good, but now that he's come calling, it's getting harder and harder for him to turn away. Pretty soon, he starts wondering why he should even bother. In the past, Ani was this close to becoming his. Perhaps claiming him would be the best way to teach him a lesson. He let Aneski escape him once, but no one messed with a Devil and left with their freedom intact. Trigger Warning: This is a stand-alone dark romance, which means there are many themes that some might find disturbing. Some of these include, but are not limited to, dub-con, violence, mention of a deceased relative, a grieving main character, two obsessed men who don’t want to admit their feelings, and explicit sexual content not suitable for all readers. Please be sure to read the Author’s Note for a complete list of warnings! HEA guaranteed! Though this book takes place on the same planet as previous books in the series, each of these are considered stand-alone and can be read without having read any of the others.

Devil May Lie

2024

A Devil of Vitality always draws first blood. Berga Obsidian is only good for one thing. As the Butcher of the Brumal mafia, Berga spends his days between the university and his lab, constantly caught up in one experiment or another. Everyone knows his name, and everyone fears him, but very few get close enough to learn who he really is. Even fewer actually want to. He's spent his entire life trying to make up for a mistake made as a child and is haunted by literal ghosts of the past dressed in pink tulle. Locking himself away periodically to protect himself and those around him has become second nature, that is until one mix-up with a Royal changes everything. Madden Odell can do no wrong. He comes from a prestigious and powerful family and is best friends with the Imperial Prince. By day, he trains at the military academy, keeping up appearances, and by night he runs the illegal street races down at the Docks. He's never wanted for anything for longer than a minute before it's his, that is until Berga strolls in and shakes up his world. Technically, they've known each other for years, but they've never been close. One night of rough and twisted debauchery and suddenly Madden is desperate to change that. By any means necessary. But Berga is far from what he seems, with an unexpected past trauma and a strong fear of abandonment. The two of them also come from different sides of the same coin. Berga is part of the Satellite, a group created to protect the head of the mafia, whereas Madden's position with the prince means he stands with the Imperial family. Even if they can somehow work through their differences and learn to rely on one another, will their leaders ever allow their relationship to strengthen? Or will the two of them have to choose? The life they've always known, or each other? Trigger Warning: This is a stand-alone dark romance which means there are many themes that some might find disturbing. Some of these include, but are not limited to, dub-con, violence, a mad scientist who doesn't cater to those squeamish, and explicit sexual content not suitable for all readers. Please be sure to read the Author's Note for a complete list of warnings! HEA guaranteed! Though this book takes place on the same planet as the previous in the series, each of these is a stand-alone.
