The real question isn’t to be or not to be, but to love or not to love. For five years, Nikua has lived knowing his mate chose a blockbuster movie career in Hollywood over him. He has his job as the resident wardrobe supervisor at the Valleywood Performance Art Center, friends who were there when he was at his lowest, and a daughter who is his reason for everything. What does he need a mate for? The Stage is the thing… Years after leaving Valleywood to follow his dreams, Highland is ready to return. His chance comes at the request of Dionysus, artistic director of VPAC. But after signing his contract, Highland discovers the mate he lost contact with is no longer a dresser, and he once again has no way to get in touch with him. Merely players… Nothing can prepare Nikua or Highland when they finally come face to face. They have to work through their issues and find a way to work together so the show can go on, but years of hurt and misunderstanding might be too much for them to overcome. Can either get the answers they need when all the secrets blow up like pyrotechnics around them? Welcome to Valleywood, where the drama isn’t reserved for the stage.

When the tabloids explode with scandal, Kai finds himself kicked to the curb. Jobless, friendless… unless you count the borderline harassment he gets from his number-one fan—which he doesn’t. Turns out, the perfect life he worked so hard for is nothing more than a mirage. When his agent calls with a mysterious offer to act in a play in Valleywood, he has no choice but to accept the role. What does he have to lose… right? Alpha shifter Daniel Agassi lost everything eight years ago, and he swears he doesn’t know how it happened. There he was, just minding his own business, living his best life, when out of nowhere—BAM!—he found himself stuck in his cat form. He couldn’t shift back to tell his true love, Kai, that he never intended to leave him at the altar. And since then, he’s been trapped, without any way to send word. Instead, he’s been a pissed-off pet for almost a decade. When the spell is finally broken, his only goal is to reconnect with Kai. The only problem? The omega is no longer the man he used to be. Then again, the same could be said for Daniel. Encore is book 2 of the highly anticipated multi-author series, Valleywood, a bustling city struggling with its hold on magic.

To make ends meet, he spends his nights working behind the bar, mixing cocktails for the brash and beautiful. One evening brings him face-to-face with the owner of the newly opened Viper Productions—and an invitation for an audition with plenty of strings attached. An audition that has Flynn Walker in attendance, the film's omega director—and his mate. Already twisted into knots by the film’s producer, Dom can’t pursue what’s his. At least, not openly.

Can Dom and Flynn figure out a way to be together without ruining their careers and destroying the movie that brought them together?

The Raven God's Fate

2021

Once, before time began, a goddess told a young god that he would have three chances to win his soulmate. Twice, the god has found him. Twice he has lost him. To save him from the suffering of loss, Morgan Norn, god of memory, has been made to forget. Now, he lives a life alone, telling himself he’s content to dedicate himself to the steadily growing numbers of gods and demigods in the human realm. But his fate was spun a long time ago, leading him to this one last chance. As the premiere event planner in Valleywood, Caspian Chance has planned enough second and third weddings to know that happily ever after is a fantasy created to sell movie tickets and romance novels. He doesn’t have time to deal with some alpha’s ridiculous expectations. Dating the hot doctor who doesn’t look remotely old enough to have birthed and raised two daughters is as close as someone like Caspian can get. The Fates may have been planning for this since the beginning of time, but there’s only so much they can do to get these two stubborn souls on the right path, especially with all the violence surrounding them. And with so much pain in the past, it's only a matter of time before the old cycle of blood and tears finds them once more. The only way to happiness is to stop history from repeating itself. Too bad no one remembers this history. The Raven God’s Fate is book 11 in the Valleywood series, where the drama is millennia in the making and isn’t reserved for the mortals.
