Broken, haunted Johan doesn’t want a bondservant. He certainly doesn’t want a bondservant like Emil, who is mouthy and disobedient and completely disrespectful. But if Johan can overcome his own nature and subjugate Emil, maybe he can finally win the respect of his family—and escape the painful shadows of his past.

Emil never expected to get caught for his crimes, and he didn’t expect to end up as a bondservant to one of the richest families on Cadmus Station. He’s willing to play nice, but he refuses to be submissive—there’s nothing submissive about him.

His new master is cruel, but he’s inept and inexperienced. Emil can see all the cracks in Johan, and he’s going to take every advantage he can get to gain the upper hand.

Leashing His Heart is set in the Under His Heel universe but can be read as a standalone.

Leashing His Heart contains dark themes and potentially triggering content. Read at your own discretion. You can find full content notes on the author’s website.

Opal desperately wants to fall in love and have a whirlwind romance, preferably with a human. So when he’s rescued by a dashing knight, he thinks his day has finally come. There’s just one problem: Tristan hates dragons. Opal isn’t going to let something silly like that get in the way of his true love, though. Surely with a bit of wooing, some aphrodisiac dragon fluids, and an epic journey together, Tristan will see the error of his ways, and they can have their happily ever after.

Lost in grief, Tristan’s only goal in life is to eradicate the monsters that killed his brother. He doesn’t really want to babysit delicate Opal, who wears skirts and makeup and dreams of romance. Opal is strange, his stories don’t make sense, and he’s weirdly shy and lustful at the same time… yet he’s sweet, and his kisses are addictive, and he makes Tristan’s heart flutter.

Opal is sure theirs is a romantic story for the ages–but his secret might drive them apart for good.

The Dragon and His Knight is a standalone set in the Monster’s Pet universe. It is not necessary to read The Monster’s Pet trilogy before diving in to Opal’s story!

Desperate thief Myth needs one big score to get himself out of a serious hole. Why not steal from his royal father, who refuses to acknowledge him? Unfortunately, the ornate amulet he steals is bad news. Now everybody is out for Myth’s blood.

Callan should be just one of the many people after Myth–but Callan isn’t a person at all. He’s a shade, a creature of shadow and magic. Callan is dark, and dangerous, and even worse news than the amulet itself. His dark, shadowy tendrils reach inside Myth and sate a hunger Myth never knew he had.

Myth finds himself falling deeper and deeper into Callan’s grasp. He’ll lose sight of his goals–he’ll lose sight of himself–if he gives in.

But would that be so bad?

Everyone deserves a chance at redemption.

One look at Elric, and Athan knows: something is wrong with this exiled prince. He’s full of holes, rusting, and what should have been a bright human soul is turning to rot and decay.

It’s not too late to save him though. Athan is going to do everything in his power to bring Elric back to the light, away from the temptations of ambition. He refuses to give up on that spark he sees inside Elric, the person he knows Elric could be if he could let go of all his hurt and pain.

If Athan fails, it’s going to be heartbreak all over again. But if he succeeds, a void in both their hearts will be filled. And maybe Athan’s own soul will be healed in the process, too.

Though The Phoenix and His Prince should function as a standalone, it is best enjoyed after reading The Dragon and His Prince and has many spoilers for Dragon. (Please mind the warnings for Dragon, as it is considerably darker than Phoenix!)

Content notes: Phoenix is a villain redemption story that contains a scene of sexual assault between main characters.

As the second son, Prince Larkin doesn’t have much of a role at court. When his brother sends him on a quest to slay a wyvern, he pounces on the opportunity.

Only problem? It’s not a wyvern. It’s a dragon.

A naked dragon in human form, who possesses two very large… Anyway. Larkin is definitely, absolutely, very not interested in trying them out, but Jade is very, very persuasive. It helps that Jade’s fluids make Larkin tingle all over in the best of ways.

If only Larkin didn’t have duties. If only he could stay with Jade forever.

But his kingdom has to come first, even if that means losing the only person who ever made him feel valued.

This is a standalone dragon/human xeno romance with some angst, dark moments, and an HEA.

Warning: This book contains dark, detailed scenes of graphic sexual assault that may be triggering to some readers. Please proceed with caution. 

They’ll protect me… if they don’t break me first.

I refuse to be a disposable pawn in my father’s underworld dealings. If that means heading out in the middle of the night to get as far away as I can from my mafia family, so be it. I have everything planned, and it’s all going perfectly… right up until the point where they catch me.

Angelo. Scary, domineering, the bruiser. If he wants me, he’s not going to stop until he gets me — any way he has to. Saint tries to be the “nice guy,” but he’s got a filthy little habit of touching me when I’m sleeping, when I’m helpless. And Victor? He’s the most terrifying one of all, the brains behind the brawn, with a cold composure I’m desperate to crack. If I can get to him, the others will fall in line — but what if he gets to me first?

They promise to protect me as long as I do what I’m told, but just how far will I have to go — and how much of me will splinter in the process?

Note: This work contains extremely dark themes with triggering content. The men are irredeemable, terrible people who do terrible things and do not respect Lucia’s boundaries. (As in, boundaries? What are boundaries?) Read at your own discretion. 

Am I their partner… or their pet?

Victor promised me that I’d be one of the team. That I’ll stand at his side, helping him mastermind my father’s demise. I’ll direct Saint to finding our enemies, and I’ll tell Angelo when to pull the trigger.

So why does it feel like they’re humoring me? Why is every single victory only followed by another humiliation? I need to prove to them that I’m important to their operation. I need to prove that I’m not expendable.

I need them to need me, or else I might end up shattered in pieces so small, there’s no way to put me back together.

Can I trust them not to shatter me all over again?

I left Angelo, Saint, and Victor, only to land squarely in the hands of Emilio Pavone, a man who makes the three of them look like playful puppies.

As much as I want to never see them again, I’ll need their help if I want to avoid the wedding and free myself and my family. The only problem is I don’t know if I can trust them. Angelo still manhandles me, Saint has made it clear he wants me unconscious–and Victor is playing with all of our lives.

The wedding is fast approaching, and I need to make the most important decision of my life:

Pavone and his open cruelty, or the three men who nearly destroyed me.
