*The very special hardcover edition features a gold foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.*

This isn't the kind of fairy tale where the princess marries a prince.

It's the one where she kills him.

Marra — a shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter — is relieved not to be married off for the sake of her parents’ throne. Her older sister wasn’t so fortunate though, and her royal husband is as abusive as he is powerful. From the safety of the convent, Marra wonders who will come to her sister’s rescue and put a stop to this. But after years of watching their families and kingdoms pretend all is well, Marra realizes if any hero is coming, it will have to be Marra herself.

If Marra can complete three impossible tasks, a witch will grant her the tools she needs. But, as is the way in stories of princes and the impossible, these tasks are only the beginning of Marra’s strange and enchanting journey to save her sister and topple a throne.

Half-fae, half-human—entirely unprepared to face the war my bloodline dragged me into.

The moment I touch the broken rescue stallion, scars thicken like armor across his back and wings begin to regrow. I've barely processed this when a gruff man with glowing eyes and a pulsing energy shows up on my ranch, claiming I'm half fae...and the key to saving three realms.

I refuse to let anyone else decide who I become, but that doesn't stop my fae "guardian" from black mailing me to follow him to his realm, where small folk are vanishing, only to return stripped of their magic and dying slow, tortured deaths. And while my healing magic is stirring here, it’s barely enough to help with the demons hunting us, let alone save anyone.

As for my guardian? Seems like even being near me is painful, and I can’t tell if it’s from resisting the connection between us, or something darker. Especially when it feels like his blood commands mine... and my own might destroy him.

But distraction could cost us everything; if I fail the prophecy, demons will enslave the fae, destroy the human realm, and take the creature I care about most: my Leath Pegasus.

They say I’m the key to saving the realms, but as time runs out, I can't help but wonder if anyone can stop what’s coming.

Fans of Anne Bishop’s Pillars of the World and Faith Hunters' Jane Yellowrock Series will love this fast-pace, hidden magics, and forbidden love between a grumpy fae guardian and a sunshiny but reluctant chosen one.

With the death of his parents and a warning to keep the nature of his power hidden, Trev moves far away to the desert southwest to start a new life.

Navigating the treacherous desert landscape with his best friend and co-driver Jack and an alluring tourist harboring secrets of her own, Trev realizes that winning the race is no longer his only concern. The event requires him to go fast, fight monsters, and keep the tourist safe, but he’s not so sure she cares all that much about whether he survives.

Facing dangerous monsters, explosive confrontations, and a deepening web of deception, Trev must unravel the hidden mysteries of the southwest.

Will Trev and his companions survive the ultimate race and emerge victorious, or will they become the next team to vanish without a trace in an unforgiving desert?

I’m a wedding planner. I coordinate chaos for a living. But nothing prepared me for Saltford Bay’s grumpy werewolf sheriff, especially not when he kissed me like a feral beast… and then asked me to be his fake mate.

Planning a dragon wedding is hard enough. Add a stolen tiara, a brewing scandal, and one scowling werewolf with eyes like wildfire and a permanent stick up his tail, and suddenly I’m wondering if I should’ve stayed in bed.

Sheriff Adrian Wolfsbane is stern, broody, and impossible to work with. He’s handling security for the dragon wedding of the century, so when the bride’s priceless tiara vanishes and things start catching fire, of course he takes charge of the investigation.

When the suspect list starts looking a little too close to home, he makes me an offer: pretend to be his mate, and he’ll give me full access to the case. The plan? Convince everyone we’re bonded, sniff out the thief, and avoid catching feelings.

Easy, right?

Except now I’m staying at his cabin, wearing his scent, and trying to ignore the way he looks at me like I already belong to him.

And if he keeps acting like I’m more than just his fake mate… I’m not sure I’ll want to keep pretending. It was supposed to be a temporary arrangement.

No touching.
No feelings.
Definitely no biting.

Larry Tolleson is confronted with a choice and not one of his making. His mother decided he was bright enough to start school a year early. Larry is entering his senior year in high school when his mother realizes that decision didn't give him the best start in life. She agrees with his guidance counselor that he should take a do-over year to let his body and emotions catch up to his intellect.
Larry approaches his senior year full of hope. This will finally be his year. He sets his goals on becoming a better athlete, more confident with girls, and finding his path to college. Now the adults in his life are questioning his readiness and capabilities. The concept of a do-over year sounds like he's going backwards. They say it's his choice, and his alone, but it isn't one he requested. They say they want him to be the best version of himself but what's wrong with the current version? They say he needs more time to mature but the decision requires wisdom and maturity. They say it's his salvation; it feels like punishment. Larry is an overachiever, always trying to please others. It's becoming increasingly clear to him that whatever he decides, he can't please everyone.
Life is a series of choices, many inconsequential, some life changing. Are we defined by the decisions we make or how we react to them? My Do-Over Year examines Larry Tolleson's life with and without the do-over year. Can he become the best version of himself?
My Do-Over Year is the author's second novel and the prequel to Lucky Larry. While the books share common characters, they are written as stand-alone stories that can be read in any order. Readers who prefer exploring Larry Tolleson's character development and life events in chronological order will benefit from reading My Do-Over Year first.

Are things as black and white as Jessica thinks? And can she find a way to succeed without compromising her own personal values—or her personal life?

A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.

Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one.

He’s the headmaster of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.

Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth. And there's the island's sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.

But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.

And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home—one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from—Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.

Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.
