I spent most of my life feeling dead inside -- until I met Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

It wasn't until Pan and Neverland that I finally felt alive.

But things are not all full of magic and sunlight on the island. There's something darker and more sinister haunting the forest.

And worse, the fae queen and Captain Hook are ready to fight for control of Neverland and they will stop at nothing to get what they want.

War is brewing -- can the Never King get his shadow back and assume his rightful throne? And if he does, where will I fit?

Or will all of Neverland be in jeopardy right along with my dark, twisted heart?

NOTE: The Dark One is book two in the Vicious Lost Boys series. It is a dark reimagining of Peter and Wendy. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you'll enjoy The Dark One. You can expect an island with darkness and secrets and no true hero in sight, with a found family atmosphere, and 'touch her and I'll unalive you' vibes. The Dark One ends on a cliffhanger.

I thought I had everything I could possibly desire. Until I set my eyes on her. My angel. Too pure for this world, too pure for me. She's all mine. No matter the cost. No matter the lives that stand in my way. She has always been mine. She just doesn't know it yet.

My brother has lost it, more so than ever before. I couldn't figure out what had changed at first. One look at her though, and it all made sense. He gave me one job, protect his girl, a girl he's never even spoken to. I held true to my promise and then some. I didn't mean to kiss her, to touch her. One thing is for sure, though. I'm not losing her, even if I have to go through my brother to have her.

When winter comes to the Court of Dreams, the war against the Subterranean of Nightmares freezes. To celebrate, the faerie queen holds a tournament where mortals compete for the prize of a dream come true. For outsider Willow Nightstalk, it's the only way to break the curse making her as ugly as she feels.

But the deadly tournament has a darker purpose-to flush out flawed mortal blights on the perfectly pretty fae society... and to kill them. Any left alive are conscripted when war returns in spring. When the coveted prize can give you anything your heart desires, allies are likelier to stab you in your sleep than save you.

Surviving means securing the highly contested patronage of the powerful fae nobility. But when the notoriously recluse House of Shadow is the only option left, the odds are stacked against her. Especially since it's led by the six beautiful fae boogeymen who rejected her, robbed her of magic, and ruined her life. She would rather let terrors drag her to the beneath.

But then the unthinkable happens.

For the first time in years, the House of Shadow chooses a protégé. Her.

Castle of Nevers and Nightmares is a slow-burn, spicy why choose dystopian-fantasy romance novel where the underdog heroine finds her inner power, the tension is hot, and the world-building is full of intrigue. It's the first in the Fae Devils series, a Fae Guardians spinoff.

One night changes everything.

Ember doesn't know how, but on the brink of death, she calls to them. They come in the darkness, like phantoms in masks, and rescue her from her pain. But that rescue comes with a price. Her soul. She must give all she is to the Cirque, where it doesn't only house you, it owns you.

Nothing is ever as it seems and the truth behind the striped curtain is no small matter. Can Ember keep her vow? Can she embrace the madness the Cirque demands?

After all, the Cirque isn't just a home for freaks and runaways, but also for those who will kill to protect it. They'll carve a bloody path through the world, preying on the predators no one else dares to. When the Cirque calls, they answer.

The Cirque demands blood.

It demands payment.

And pay Ember must, with her soul or theirs. . .

Welcome to Cirque Obscurum, where the cards never lie. . .

He'll do anything for his wounded warrior... even wooing him a widow.

In a world of orcs and men, Lady Scall is a widow besieged - by her debts, her demons, and her dangerous lord neighbour. But time is running out, and she's about to lose everything...

Until the night an orc shows up in her chambers.

Killik is a cold, cruel, condescending spy, and he wants nothing to do with Lady Scall... for himself.

But he's decided she's the perfect woman for his clanmate. For Ulfarr, the Wolf of Clan Skai.

And Ulfarr isn't just any orc. He's a huge, broken, brutal monster with a dark, deadly past...

And Killik wants Lady Scall to help Ulfarr.

To heal Ulfarr.

To handle Ulfarr however she pleases...

In return, Killik will solve all her problems - and he'll teach her how to tend and tame an orc. And maybe, if she behaves, he'll fulfill all her own deepest longings, too...

But even a desperate, lonely widow shouldn't risk such a scandalous affair, right? Especially when Ulfarr's secrets are darker than she ever imagined, and Killik far more jealous than she knew...

And a deal with two devils might draw more doom to her door... and her heart.

Paperback edition also includes a bonus epilogue!

Fern is always willing to give people a second chance-even her exes. With the anniversary gala of the dating app she works for-called My Cup O' Joe-coming up and her parents pressuring her to find the perfect happily ever after, Fern revisits her past relationships to see if anyone could fit into her present...or maybe be The One.

Emmie may be Fern's best friend and co-worker, but that doesn't mean she wants anything to do with a long-term, monogamous relationship. But when the My Cup O' Joe marketing team decides to make some changes to their content, she looks to Fern for inspiration. Emmie decides to make her next My Cup O' Joe blog series a twisted version of Fern's plan: she will chase down the exes who cheated on her and give them a taste of their own medicine.

The co-workers dive into their pasts with the My Cup O' Joe database helping them hunt down their exes-Fern for love, Emmie for revenge. From bad dates and (re)broken hearts to viral videos and throuples, the friends take their plans to the limit. What they don't expect is for their experiments to come full circle, forcing them to cross detrimental lines in their friendship.

Fern and Emmie must decide what's worth bringing into their future-their pasts or their friendship-as the gala grows near and the final cheater on Emmie's list learns of her plan...and is ready with one of his own.

THE EX PROJECT brings light to relatable, modern-day scenarios involving dating app technology, the growth and evolution of current relationships, and the LGBTQ+ community. For those who are fans of PLOT TWIST by Erin La Rosa, TEXT APPEAL by Amber Roberts, and live for the witty banter and chaotic friendship in Comedy Central's BROAD CITY, THE EX PROJECT will fit perfectly on your bookshelf.

Lola Barnes only wants one thing, to get her life under control. No more chasing alphas who abuse and toss away betas like her. No more hiding in her cousin's apartment licking wounds that won't heal. Armed with her dream job and her less than dreamy apartment, Lola is ready to start a new chapter of her life without alphas. But that's easier said than done when one stumbling incident after another leads Lola closer to an alluring pack of captivating men.

These alphas are everything Lola dreamed of, but they already have an omega-a playful male model who won't stop flirting with her. And Lola is only a beta, one who comes with deep scars and an unshakeable aversion to alphas and their powerful presences. If only she could resist their perfect beta, Leo, whose patience and determination to see her heal breaks down one wall after another.

When the alpha who all but destroyed Lola tries to start a game of cat and mouse that's all claws, the safest place for Lola may be the one she's most terrified of, in the arms of an alpha pack.

What happens when you fall for the sworn enemies of your family?

I'm kidnapped by the Tailors, a rival gang that wants my entire family wiped off the face of the earth. After spending a couple of weeks experiencing hospitality in the Tailor's very own dungeon, I'm really regretting my life choices up to this point.

Then in walks a tall stranger, with bright hazel eyes, and something in me stirs, growing stronger as I meet each of the Tailor boys.

Aeron, the heir to the Tailor name and a dark devil.

Jude, second in line and mad as a box of frogs but sexy as anything.

Knox, tall glass of water with the need to rescue and protect.

Tarl, the Tailor Inquisitor with mismatched eyes, but a healer at heart.

I don't stand a chance against their soothing touches and possessive affections. We fall hard and fast, but like most dreams, eventually you have to wake up.

I just hope that they can forgive me for what I'm about to do.

Lola is being hunted by her past, stalked with every step she takes. Sheltered with the pack of her dreams, at first it seems like the hardest challenge isn't even staying safe from Indy. Tensions at work are at a tipping point and after taking the role of management's spy, Lola's in the crossfire if anything goes wrong. As romances between Lola and the pack members are developing left and right, the woman who swore she wanted nothing to do with alpha is turning to them like a bloom to the sun.

If only it weren't just one monstrous alpha that twisted her own thoughts. Lola is quickly realizing that her worst enemy is herself, and it's like walking the tightrope to find a balance with the pack that gives her strength rather than sends her toppling to the ground.

But Indy won't be ignored. One way or another, he's determined to get his hands on her again. Lola needs more than a pack to shield her. She needs to be ready to fight.

Baby's heat is coming...

With her heat on its way, she needs to find a pack, a nest, and alphas she can trust.

The Late Night Howlers have given up hope...

After years of waiting for an omega to choose them, this motorcycle club of alphas is ready to move on with their lives. Until one sweet woman takes a chance on them.

A rundown bar and apartment building is no place to spoil a new omega but the Howlers are determined to do right by Baby when she needs them. All they have to do is keep her satisfied while resisting the mouthwatering temptation to bite and bond her, permanently.

When a rival MC comes sniffing after Baby, her safety is put at risk and the Howlers may be torn apart forever.

No wrong moves.

Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend.

Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can't escape.

Every move I've made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it's for his benefit. That's what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best.

It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad introduced us at their engagement dinner.

Three years have passed, but that doesn't matter to Greedy. He's hell-bent on making sure I remember it all.

On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he's the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much.

But now Greedy's best friend is back in town, and he and I are dating to get his meddling mother off his back. Not only is Levi my new fake boyfriend, but he's also our new roommate, too.

No wrong moves, Greedy assured me years ago.

What if there are no right moves either?

Are you ready for the next explosive instalment of the Chicago Ruthless series. The Moretti's might think they have it all, but there's one more Moretti out there who wants to take it from them...

She was born in captivity and raised in hell. While her siblings lived in a golden palace and slept on feather pillows, Keres Sideris fought to survive horror and fear and pain. Until a faceless man freed her from the life she was born for.

Warriors don't escape fear, they conquer it ... those words were the only thing her rescuer left her with when she was just a little girl, and those words fortified her heart against the world.

But she isn't a little girl anymore. Keres is all grown up and ready to seek vengeance against those who hurt her. Eager to make them pay for every single thing they took from her, and nothing and nobody will stand in her way.

Except Keres has no idea of the lion's den she's about to walk into. Challenging the Morettis means taking on far more than she bargained for, including getting on the wrong side of the two take-no-prisoners bodyguards assigned to keep an eye on her.

Keres is an MMF romance full of tension, revenge and a whole load of spice.

Please note, Keres has some dark themes including past SA of FMC as a child,

trafficking, as well as scenes of a violent nature.

Charlie Dee is headed for burnout. They've been burned before, both by their bio family and the now-defunct queer collective they once called home. So when they're asked to take a work trip outside the city, they jump at the chance. Sure, it's additional work with no additional pay, but it's also an excuse to get out of town--and out of their own head.

That dream is shattered when Charlie opens the door to their supposedly private rental. There's a bird on the loose, circling the living room as it's chased by a cat, who is chased by a small child. The girl's parents, Hayden and Buffy, only manage to add to the chaos. They promise to leave first thing in the morning, but when a massive snowstorm rolls in, this overnight trip becomes a weeklong affair.

Reluctantly charmed by this unfiltered--if forced--look at a loving, healthy family, Charlie begins to develop feelings for both Hayden and Buffy. And they both seem to be flirting back. But when a potential promotion lures Charlie back to the city, all three will have to decide where they go from here--and what it means to truly feel at home.

Do you want some Goldfish crackers, Bliss?

Those were the last words my brother said to me before he was shot execution style. A childhood code only he and I knew, and one that had a single, clear meaning behind it.

Run.

I'm not going anywhere. Not when his murderer is still out there.

To catch a killer, I put aside my life of money and luxury and take over the running of Psychos, a dive bar in the seedy underbelly of Saint View.

But Psychos delivers more than I ever could have bargained for and three men I never saw coming.

Nash, my brother's best friend. Older and more experienced, he still remembers me as the neglected child he once saved.

War, heir to a biker gang throne and searching for the man who left his mother in a coma. Bonded over a common goal, he introduces me to a world of after-hours clubs, danger, and violence.

And Vincent, the quiet new guy nobody seems to see except me. He's sweet and quirky, but there's a darkness in him just waiting to be unleashed.

With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.

Until there's only one thing we know for sure.

The killer is still out there.

And we're his next targets.

Start a War is an adult, #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains enemies-to-lovers and romantic suspense / dark themes that may trigger some readers. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

Ironside is more than a regular academy. It's also the biggest reality TV show in the world ... and a very elaborate, very luxurious prison.

Their hallowed halls are ruled by the powerful Betas and the middling Omegas, with the plentiful Deltas as their main targets, but this year, the officials are stirring things up.

Isobel Carter-the only rare Sigma to be accepted-is the first sign. But there are others. Many others. A sudden influx of precious Alphas will turn academy life, and Isobel's life, upside down.

She might be the lowest rung on the ladder, but in order to survive Ironside, where social media is king and consequences are deadly, she will need to make her mark.

She will need to climb.

This isn't a game for the faint of heart, and those who rise should be prepared for a beautiful, brutal fall.

Beware the pretty posers, because this social media game just got dangerous.

The Hunger Games collides with America's Got Talent, and you've just been invited to binge it all in high definition. But here's some viewer discretion before you continue:

This book is a why choose romance with as many book boyfriends as enemies, so expect a slow-to-medium burn. If you like your omegaverse, reverse harem, and academy troupes twisted and defiled to stretch your imagination, then this is the book for you!

Now it's time to grab some popcorn and dive right in!

A single mom, MMF small town romance with suspense.

Twelve years ago, I married the man of my dreams.

Or so I thought.

Now a single mom of twin boys, I'm doing my best to rebuild after everything fell apart. I juggle work and therapy and try not to burden those around me. My life is too complicated for love, right?

Colton Hayes and Sammy Harlow don't seem to think so.

Colton was supposed to be the one. Even after all this time, the way he looks at me gives me butterflies. He's always there for me, hotter than hell, and has been waiting for the day he'd get another chance with me.

Sammy has always been our friend. He's quiet, mysterious, and full of all sorts of surprises. Did I mention he's also my brother-in-law's brother and should be off-limits?

The sparks between us ignite an all-consuming fire. For the first time in my life, I know what real love feels like. But when danger steps foot in our small town, I worry that nothing can keep us from getting burned.

Will the past steal our chance at the future we deserve?
