Lies, Knives, and Apples
2020
Never cross a trickster when death is on the line... For Loki and Odin, it was supposed to be a typical night out for a couple of Norse gods with the regular drinking, carousing, and contests to see who could eat the most whole roast cows in a row—in other words, the usual. But when a group of Jotnar attack—totally throwing a spear in their plans, Odin is mortally wounded, and only one of Idunn's golden apples can save his life. There’s just one problem...Idunn is missing, and everyone is pointing the finger at Loki (who really resents that he’s always the first god they suspect, even though they usually are right). Between getting his back thrown out (literally, Thor rips out his spine in a tantrum) and Odin sliding closer to death with every second, Loki has his hands full...of knives. It’s a game of triple-crossing a double-cross, which should be child’s play for the trickster god. But with the fate of Asgard and the man he loves hanging in the balance, even Loki’s luck may run out...

Truth and Other Lies
2020
Nothing is trickier than the truth. All Loki the trickster god of Asgard wants is a peaceful life where he’s free to stir up a bit of harmless mischief. But when he’s struck by a painful vision of blood, ash, and death he knows his fun has run out. Refusing to have his life obliterated by some stuffy prophecy, Loki feels he must save Asgard. Except the gods stand in his way. They don’t trust the God of Lies—which means his only hope is to return to Odin, the man he wished to forget thanks to their complicated history. When Loki meets a mortal woman, his plans hit a snag. Sigyn is delightfully stubborn and quick with a blade. She also, inexplicably, possesses a divine element found only in a god. As Loki falls deeply in love with her, he never expects their bond to fulfill the prophecy threatening all their lives. Forced between honoring his oath with Odin or protecting the woman he loves, Loki will discover that the only thing crueler than truth are the lies behind it all. And the truth changes everything. \

The Order of Chaos
1672
Ending the worlds was supposed to be fun... After five hundred years of imprisonment and torture, Loki the trickster god has broken free and is consumed with revenge. He has a promise to fulfill—he’s coming for the gods and will burn Asgard to the ground for what they did. Igniting Ragnarok, the end of everything, will be a glorious surprise. Except the gods have a surprise of their own. Sigyn, the delightfully stubborn woman he loves, is alive. This complicates his plans to break all the Nine Worlds. The fact that she also has an elven lord beau complicates them further. Afterall, three is a crowd. Loki puts his raging vengeance on hold, wanting to stop what he started and protect Sigyn from a fiery death. But, this is Ragnarok and one never can predict the apocalypse, and Loki is no longer sure if he’s in control. Chaos isn’t about to start taking orders from anyone, not even the god of chaos himself—and it has a universe to destroy.

That Good Mischief
2022
It wasn't supposed to be like this. It was supposed to be Loki the trickster god’s happily ever after with Sigyn. They had gone full Midgardian, settling down in California, with Loki doing what he does best—mischief. When Sigyn collapses, Loki senses a grave darkness growing within her, and he knows only one god who may be able to stop Surtr before this sinister force possesses her completely. Once again he finds himself forced to ask Odin for his help...which always carries with it some kind of price. However, Odin is the least of Loki’s problems, especially when buried secrets start surfacing because of brothers, both dead and alive. Blackmail is a nasty business. Loki worries that his happily ever after with Sigyn could have an unhappy end. Lies are unraveling, the truth is spinning, and consequences are flying faster than Loki can run and he may lose Sigyn forever—either to the darkness, or to his own lies.

The Fire in the Frost
2023
Battling gods as a mortal–what could go wrong?
Loki, (ex) god of mischief, was enjoying the novelty of a mortal life. That is until an old nemesis strikes. The worlds are thrown into chaos as Asgard falls with Odin overthrown. Now it’s Frigg’s turn to rule the Nine Worlds–and she is out for Loki’s blood. When Loki is captured, he wants nothing more than to stop Frigg’s dominating reign. But, as a freshly mortal being (and highly fragile) it is not easy to fight an angered goddess. Especially, if you are cast out into Hel. Trapped without his powers, Loki’s exiled children may be his only hope to save Asgard. As memories of pain and betrayal rise to the surface, past choices may work against him. Not to mention the wicked surprise Frigg has up her sleeve.Curses need breaking, tensions keep flaring, and risks are even more dire than they realized as Jotenheim–Asgard's fiercest enemy–sees their chance to seize power and rule the worlds instead.Loki is desperate for a plan, even if he loses everything, including his life—however, once a trickster, always a trickster, even if mortal. But the biggest trick of all might come from a god no one ever expected.
