Cora has spent every day since dreaming of her escape from the Moonwater Clan. Life as a Moonwater omega is bleak, but it's even worse for Cora as she's never experienced a heat, and there's little hope of a happily ever after if she remains their captive. Still, she holds on to the hope that things will change for her. And what better occasion than the upcoming coronation of the shifter world’s king to wish for a new beginning? But everything changes when she’s rescued from an aggressive alpha by none other than the soon-to-be king, and she finds herself drawn to him in a way she never imagined for herself. *********** The Fireheart alpha and king of the shifters is dead. Not just dead, but murdered. Which means that his son, Zehr, will become the new king. But he is filled with self-doubt at the prospect of the throne. On top of it all is the pressure to take a mate, something Zehr has avoided for years in hopes of bonding the right one. The one meant to be his mate and partner for life. With his father’s murderer still at large, finding a mate is the last thing on Zehr’s mind. Fate has other plans when he saves an unknown omega from another alpha's advances, and he finds himself under her spell. Literally. Because she’s full of magic. Zehr isn't sure what to make of the magic-wielding omega, but he does know one thing: he can't let her endure her first heat alone. Zehr and Cora’s attraction to one another is put to the test by prejudices against magic and the low station of Cora’s birth. Despite it all, the couple’s bond can bridge the ancient rift between the magical realm and shifter society, but only if they can overcome their own fears and doubts.

Bind Me in Steel


Beast . - 2018
     All his life, Wren has known only his clan. His place. His service to his lord. Young, vulnerable, sheltered within one of the last fortresses held by wolves in a ruined, drowning world, Wren was raised to know only one thing: As an omega, he was born to be his alpha’s mate. But when the alpha of his pack challenges a stranger trespassing on their lands, a devastating loss to the mysterious, soft-spoken brute of a wolf leaves their pack shattered and without a leader. Yet when the dark stranger demands not dominance, but Wren himself as his price and his prize, Wren finds himself torn from the wolf-eat-wolf world he’s always known to become one half of a pack of two with no home but the wandering road and open sky. The strange man known as Ero Wake claims he isn’t an alpha. Isn’t a leader. Isn’t anything but a lone wolf finding a way to survive in a broken world, where dryads and werewolves war for space with humans and halflings; where blood frenzies turn man into beast and beast into monster; where the Echo’s subliminal whispers seek out the unwary and lure them north, to a centuries-old Disc waiting with its eldritch songs that broke the world. But Ero knows more than he lets on, secrets as old as the end of the Earth, and something about the strength beneath his silence calls to every primal thing buried inside Wren. It’s animal. It’s instinctive. It’s a need deeper than blood, a craving to belong to Ero and Ero alone. Every day with the much older wolf stokes the mating heat in Wren’s blood higher—yet for Ero, the risk of mating with Wren is too dangerous. Too frightening, when losing control of himself could unleash a beast more feral than any the world has ever seen. Half broken, touched by the Echo, Ero isn’t like any wolf Wren has ever met. But if Ero isn’t careful…he’ll find himself tamed and bending to Wren’s delicate touch, both his heart and his wildness bound up in steel.
