Coming October 10, 2025!

A false princess. A crownless king. A nation on the verge of revolution.

Raised in a family that trades in secrets, Cwen has been lying for as long as she can remember. Escorting Princess Saewynn to the land of her betrothed was supposed to be a fresh start—a chance to leave the deception behind. But when their caravan is ambushed, Cwen makes a single, irreversible choice to lie once more: she pushes the princess to safety… and claims the royal name as her own.

Nik has been imprisoned in one way or another ever since his uncle stole the throne that should have been his. The only light that’s pierced those long, dark years arrives in the form of a new cellmate: the princess of Aescesdun, the woman his uncle now plans to wed to legitimize his stolen crown. But something doesn’t add up. Is she truly who she claims to be—or just another of his uncle’s schemes, sent to root out the last secrets of the rebellion?

Held captive together in the dungeon together, Nik and Cwen forge a fragile bond—one built on shared captivity, wary glances, and unexpected connection. But beneath every word she speaks is a dangerous truth: she isn’t the princess she pretends to be. And every day that passes draws her closer to a man who believes she is.

In a situation where trust can mean survival, Cwen’s lie threatens everything. Because when the truth finally comes to light—as it must—it won’t just shatter what they’ve built. It could destroy the only chance either of them has to be free.

As a poor laundress’s daughter and the eldest of eight siblings, Nora Sheppard doesn’t have much for marriage prospects, but she never expects a proposal from a giant white bear. When his offer is accompanied by a promise of financial support—and education—for her siblings, she can’t refuse. They travel northward through Scotland, and by the time they arrive at their private cottage in the Hebrides, she has become Mrs. Davies, or more accurately, Lady Aurand.

Alek Davies, Lord Aurand, had no intention of marrying. He was content with his role as one of the biggest flirts in London society. But when he flirted with the wrong lady and wound up cursed, his plans changed. Now, if he ever wants to be fully human again—and avoid spending eternity in Faerie—all his hopes depend on his new wife.

The question is, can Nora do what Pandora and Bluebeard’s wife failed to do? Can she keep from looking at what is forbidden?

Coming September 30, 2025!

When the show must go on, someone’s willing to kill for an encore.

Whitby’s Fourth of July celebration should be the perfect small-town spectacle—patriotic floats, community theater performances, and librarian Ann Beckett serving as Grand Marshal with the best seat in the house. But the holiday festivities take a deadly turn when the theater director is found murdered, and the show that was meant to bring the community together becomes the backdrop for secrets someone will kill to protect.

As Ann and her fiancé, newspaper editor Grayson Phillips, dig into the victim’s final days, they discover that Whitby’s close-knit theater community harbors more drama offstage than on. With a cast full of suspects—from bitter ex-fiancées to resentful family members—Ann must navigate small-town loyalties and wounded egos to unmask a killer.

But when a second victim falls, Ann realizes the murderer isn’t finished with their deadly performance. With both deaths connected to the theater, someone in the tight-knit community is using their insider knowledge for murder. And they’re not above making a librarian the final act.

Can Ann solve the mystery before the curtain falls on another victim?

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star… How everyone wonders where you are?

Princess Lyra of Bellatring is the sparkling diamond of her family. She’s polite, intelligent, beautiful, and the perfect match for the neighboring prince who is looking to unite their militaries. But even the brightest jewels can still possess flaws, or in Lyra’s case, armfuls of scars.

Lyra secretly spends her evenings tinkering with magic stones under the starlight. Though the temperamental stones lash out and leave behind their marks, it’s nothing that can’t be concealed with a strategically planned wardrobe. The real difficulty for a princess is acquiring magic stones, unless you have a stone-smuggling friend who delights in climbing your tower walls every night.

Stirling is a man of many names, if you can call him a man. His crooked leg, mismatched eyes, and lack of sanity tend to get him labeled as anything but human, though he takes pride in his complicated reputation. When Stirling senses danger for Lyra, he doesn’t hesitate to recommend that she marry the powerful prince who could keep her safe–until the wedding doesn’t come soon enough.

Both Lyra and Stirling are captured by power-hungry magic hunters, in search of the notorious inventor. The only problem is, their captors aren’t certain who is who, giving Stirling the chance to claim yet another name… The inventor. Will Lyra’s true identity be uncovered? Or will Stirling’s lie leave them wondering what you are?
