Dragon Chained

2023

Previously published under Kenley’s pen name, Haley Ryan, Dragon Chained is the first book of an urban fantasy trilogy featuring snarky dragons, dangerous fae, and sweet, slow-burn romance… An action-packed read that’s perfect for fans of K. M. Shea, Shari L. Tapscott, or Annette Marie! A dragon, a fae, and a pixie walk into a bookstore… Sounds like a joke, right? For me, it’s just an ordinary day on the job. At least, it has been ever since my aunt disappeared and left me with her store, her cat, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. My whole life, I’ve been told to stay hidden. Pretend I’m human. Sell books, drink tea, and never betray the truth of what I am. But it turns out my aunt had secrets, and a lot of those secrets seem to involve me ending up dead. To survive, I’m going to have to reckon with my past, even if it means placing my trust in a total stranger. Draven is a half-fae assassin who’s as gorgeous as he is irritating, and his motives are less than clear. He might be willing to help me—for a price—but is it a price I’m willing to pay? And if I accept his help, can I trust an assassin to keep the biggest secret of them all?

Dragon Hunted

2023

Previously published under Kenley’s pen name, Haley Ryan, Dragon Hunted is the second book in an urban fantasy trilogy featuring snarky dragons, dangerous fae, and sweet, slow-burn romance… An action-packed read that’s perfect for fans of K. M. Shea, Shari L. Tapscott, or Annette Marie! What’s worse than a fae prince with murder on his mind? How about a family reunion… But with dragons. The good news is, I survived the murderous fae prince. I also found my aunt and embraced my inner dragon. Everything should be going great, right? If only. My aunt has disappeared again, I haven’t heard from Draven in months, and the Fae Court wants to question me about their prince’s death. To make matters worse, there’s a gargoyle terrorizing my customers, my savings are running out, and I may lose the bookstore unless I can find a second job. So of course, that’s when fate decides I have it too easy, and my path suddenly collides with the one person I’ve been running from for nineteen years—also known as “Mom.” My whole life, I’ve been told my family wants me dead, but the truth turns out to be a lot murkier than that. The only way to get to the bottom of all the lies is to take a little field trip to the dragon enclave, where I’ll be surrounded by stubborn, suspicious, short-tempered lizards, most of them not very happy to find out I’m still alive. I’m about to get a crash course in dragon politics—which is just like regular politics, but louder. And with fire. Lucky me.

Dragon Crowned

2023

Dragon Crowned was previously published under Kenley’s pen name, Haley Ryan. If you love snarky dragons, dangerous fae, and sweet, slow-burn romance, don’t miss the action-packed conclusion of this urban fantasy series that’s perfect for fans of K. M. Shea, Shari L. Tapscott, or Annette Marie! You know it’s time to reconsider your life choices when… Where do I start? Technically, it could have been worse. My visit to the dragon enclave could’ve ended with me being eaten. Somehow I survived—with a few new bruises—and now all I want is to go home. Back to Twenty-third Street. Back to my house, my cat, and my grumpy gargoyle roommate. But nothing is as simple as it used to be. My store is in shambles, the man who might just be my mate has disappeared, and every bounty hunter in Oklahoma seems to want a piece of my hide—literally. Worst of all? The hunters aren’t too picky about who gets hurt, and everyone I care about is now in their line of fire. I’ve never been the sort of dragon to back down when the going get rough, so I can’t help but get involved. But this time, it’s going to take more than a bit of dragon fire to keep my newfound family safe. The fae queen has been making her own plans, none of which involve us surviving the next ten days. When we can’t seem to stay ahead of her magic or her mercenaries, the only chance to save the people I love is a potentially deadly gamble—where a single mistake could bring disaster not only for us, but for every Idrian refugee on Earth. Only one thing is for certain—I’m going to need a lot more tea.
