Duality

2021

Jex thought she was an average, post-college girl—until she crippled a drunk and nearly incinerated a gas station. When her elemental powers manifest, she’s torn from her placid life and shoved into the war between good and evil. Forced to rely on new allies, including the sweetheart Captain of the Guards and her alphahole Valen, Jex must come to terms with her newfound ability before her enemies succeed in capturing her. I am made of extremes. Normalcy was key, before. I’d have a normal life, with a normal job, and a normal white-picket fence. That was before I crippled a drunk and torched a gas station. As it turns out, normalcy lives in the average gray, but I do not. Instead, I am made of extremes. Of fire and water. Of light over darkness. Of good over evil. Well, mostly good over evil, apparently. Now I have no choice but to embrace the not-normal before my world comes crashing down a second time—to piece myself back together with the family I found when I needed it, with the support of two men dragging me (kicking and screaming) to my full capability. But the bad guys are coming, and they’re coming for me. He’s coming for me. Ain’t that some shit. Duality is the first book the The Duality Series, a contemporary fantasy romance (medium-burn M/F, slow burn reverse harem). If you like unique magic systems, sword fights and action sequences, sassy heroines, and bonfire-hot spice, then this book is for you. TW: This book contains explicit sex and violence, and cheating as a tangential part of the story (not among the main characters). Detailed trigger warnings can be found on the "Books" tab of the author's website (spoiler warning).

Duplicity

2022

Prepare for more action, more magic, and a whole lot more steam in Duplicity, the second book in the Duality Series! Duality is an 18+ fantasy romance reverse harem series. Our snarky heroine must come to terms with her elemental powers or be trampled in the war between good and evil. Can she survive, or will she be torn apart in the process? ⚠SPOILERS AHEAD⚠ Just as our heroine is finding her feet, she’s literally and figuratively swept off them by the Kier—and one in particular. The Kier are not at all what Jex expected. Tall-Dark-and-Handsy insists Jex’s place is by his side, fighting the villainous fight. She knows better than to fall prey to his honeyed words and tempting offers. Still, our bad guys are planning something, and she’s determined to figure out what. With hazards surrounding her, she has no choice but to adapt and be as fluid as her water elemental ability. Can she resist the snare Derek sets before her? Even if she does, will the Clara understand? Find out in Duplicity, the second book in the Duality Series The Duality Series is an 18+ fantasy romance why-choose/reverse harem series. If you like unique magic systems, sword fights and action sequences, sassy heroines, and bonfire-hot spice, then this book is for you. NOTE: Duplicity is a continuation of Jex's story and should only be read after you have read Duality. It ends in a cliffhanger. This is book two in a four-book series. TW: This book contains open-door romance and on-page violence, including death. Not all of the love interests from this point on are men, but Jex's orientation (itself) is not a primary plot point of the series. If anything in the first book made you uncomfortable, or anything in this paragraph, then please do not buy this book. Detailed trope tags can be found on the author's website.

Discord

2022

Prepare for more action, magic, and steam in DISCORD, the third book in the Duality Series. Duality is an 18+ modern fantasy romance why-choose/RH series. Our snarky heroine must come to terms with her elemental powers or be trampled in the constant stream of conflict around her—not only between differing motives and causes, but also within herself. Can she finally take control, or is it that control that ends it all? —Want to Know More?— ⚠SPOILERS AHEAD⚠ Hunted. Abandoned. Lost. I’d thought that, after the “disowned superfreak” thing, my life couldn’t get worse. Then I got kidnapped, and had to do a boatload of seriously sketchy stuff to keep my head above water—and still nearly drowned. But actions have consequences. Bewitched by my old friend anger, I’ve gotten us all bitten in the backside and the wolves are chasing us. I’m not sure if we’re running toward help or away from danger. Both, I suppose. All I care about right now is keeping everyone alive, and happy, and whole. With the Acceptance bearing down and the last few months coming to a head, I just hope I can keep us all from running out of time for real. NOTE: Discord is the third book in a four-book series and should only be read after Duality and Duplicity. Although this book is a catharsis, it does end on a cliffhanger. Anticipated release for the fourth and final book is Jex's birthday in July 2023. TW: This book contains open-door romance and on-page violence, including death. Not all of the love interests are men. Detailed trope tags can be found on the author’s website.

Prepare for more action, magic, and steam in the final installment of the Duality Series. Duality is an 18+ modern fantasy romance why choose/RH series. Our snarky heroine must take control of her own future and find her happily ever after. Can she succeed, or will the powers that be snuff her flame out for good? ⚠ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠ War. If you’d told me months ago I’d be at the center of an active war between good and evil, I’d have laughed and insisted you surrender your car keys. Fate is funny like that. Everything I thought I didn’t want, I got—and then some—yet, somehow, I don’t know how to live without it all. My world isn’t complete without my Duality, my friends, and the five people who’ve become so vital to it all. Surrendering any piece means losing a part of myself I can’t afford to let go. Leave them to keep them. One way or another, I’ll find my way home. Where that home will be and what it’ll look like is anyone’s guess. NOTE : This is the final part of a four-book series and should only be read after Duality, Duplicity, and Discord. TW : This book contains open-door romance and on-page violence, including death. Not all of the love interests are men. Detailed trope tags can be found on the author’s website.
