#1 Winter Standalone

Etched in Frost

Jolie     

​

I always believed ballet was the love of my life.
My fate.
Until that tragic day that rocked my world. Now my mom is gone, I’ve lost my spot at the Institute, and I’m left to pick up the pieces and start over on my own. 
I should be grateful for this second chance at life, at my dream, but I can’t stop wondering how I survived the accident, obsessing over why I was the only one who walked away…and imagining those eyes—twin panes of shattered ice that have been haunting me ever since.

​

Jax

​

As a Frost, it’s my duty to bring winter to the world. And the most important creed we harbingers must follow: Never interfere with the affairs of mortals. 
After getting benched last season, I’m already skating on thin ice when I finally find her. 
My mate.
I’ll break the rules to make her mine, but I can’t risk banishment from the mortal world. Not when that would cut me off from her. Not when she’s finally within reach. 
There’s just one problem… 
She doesn’t believe I exist. 

 

Etched in Frost is a forbidden romance Jack Frost retelling featuring a romance between a wolf shifter and his ballerina fated mate.

​​​​​​Note: Set in the Hallowed Harbingers world, this winter romance is the first in a series of seasonal interconnected standalones. It is intended for 18+ readers due to mature content and themes.

#2 Spring Standalone

Inked in Bloom

Coming 5.5.26

 

Monroe

​

It’s a bit rude to expect me to embrace immortality while I’m still grieving my own death. 

Part of me would love to continue wallowing, but training to bring spring is my best shot at returning home to the mortal world.

To my patients. To the people who need me. 

Trouble is,  I can’t get my magic to work, I’m the worst in my class, and—to top it all off—I apparently have a mate

I want nothing more than to get back to my old life, but it’s clear Fate has other plans. 

 

Briar

 

I’ve never cared much about mortals. 

Until her.

After two months trapped in a tiny apartment, I should be grateful to be back with my fellow Blooms. But I can’t stop thinking about the vibrant woman who found and cared for me. 

Eager to throw myself into teaching and forget my time earthside, I step into my classroom only to find her sitting there.

She doesn’t recognize me, but she's going to hate me once she learns the truth…

It’s my fault she’s dead.

 

Inked in Bloom is a rejected mate single dad romance between a therapist coming to terms with her afterlife and her bunny shifter professor.

​

Note: Set in the Hallowed Harbingers world, this spring standalone takes place after the events of Book 1: Etched in Frost. While it can be read on its own, if you would like to read chronologically to avoid any spoilers, start there first. Inked in Bloom is intended for 18+ readers due to mature content and themes.
