Sometimes, family is found in the most unlikely of places.

Born with horns that set him apart, Prince Ander is an outcast in his own mother’s court. Unwilling to stay and suffer it any longer, Ander leaves to try to make his way in the mortal realm. However, even amongst the humans, tragedy follows the half-muse.

Orphaned before she was given a name, Mab Duchan has never known a real family outside of those paid to care for her. Just when she thinks she’s found one, the arrogance and jealousy of a hateful noble nearly destroys her. When all hope seems lost, the most unlikely of heroes arises.

Now it’s Ander and Mab against the world, but the stronger their bond as a family, the more life seeks to break them apart. Can they hold on to the ties that bind, or will love be the one thing that finally tears them apart?

Of Love & Ruin

Sanctuary of the Lost #1

Published: Oct 4, 2023

Of Love & Ruin is the first book in a LGBTQ+ urban fantasy novel for fans of Hailey Turner's Soulbound series, and Ashley Shuttleworth's Hollow Star Saga.

Sometimes, love comes along at exactly the wrong time.

For over a hundred years, life for Ander and Mab has been a series of parties and adventures spanning the world over. Once the two finally decide to settle in Miami to open a nightclub, the last thing Ander expects is for the love spell he cast over a century ago to come back and bite him.

The Fates seem to have a sense of humor when they lead Maximus Schields, son of Ander’s nemesis, through the club doors. Max, who is beautiful. Sweet. Kind. And part of an ongoing investigation concerning missing young women that leads the Sanctum directly to Ander.

As the tangled web of Miami’s underground draws tighter, Ander will be forced to face demons from his past in order to protect what he cares for most. Will Max and the rest of the Schields family task force find the true culprit and prove Ander’s innocence? Or is he forever destined to be shackled by the one he loves?

Of Hope & Blight

Sanctuary of the Lost #2

Publishes: June 19, 2024

Of Hope & Blight is the second book in a LGBTQ+ urban fantasy novel for fans of Hailey Turner's Soulbound series, and Ashley Shuttleworth's Hollow Star Saga.

Sometimes, love finds you anyway.

Burned by her first love, Mab has spent the last several years content with her brother, their club, and her Miami beach front property. The last thing she wants, or needs, is for the arrow cast by Erotes—god of love—to rear its ugly head. But trouble disrupts Mab’s hard-earned peace in the form of a dead inanimi washed up on her private beach. Not wanting to disturb Ander and his newfound bliss, Mab calls the only person she can think of—Quintus Schields.

Life for Quin used to be simple. Second in command to his brother Maximus, Quin has always been a hardworking and dedicated creature of few words. He wants nothing to do with the owners of Inferno or their drama. Especially with his new responsibilities as caregiver to an ignis youngling. So, when Mab Duchan asks for help, he has to decide if he wants to keep his world as is, or accept there might be more to life than he expected.

As Miami’s criminal underground returns to sink its claws into them, Fate forces the four to face old demons, and question just what they’re willing to do for happiness.
