He only sees him once a year—at a masquerade where names are forbidden and masks never come off.

Decades ago, Aurelio fell under the spell of a masked lover at the infamous Starlit Masquerade, a sensual evening where the rules of propriety seem to bend. Their nights were wild, unforgettable, and entirely anonymous—just how the enchanted Valentine’s ball was designed to be. Since then, Aurelio has returned year after year, aching for another night in the arms of the Fae who left him breathless.

But this year, something shifts.

Enter Myles Anthysius—the Secretary of the Sovereign and everything Aurelio never knew he wanted: poised, kind, disarmingly charming. As Myles begins to chip away at the walls around his heart, Aurelio must face a choice between an untouchable fantasy and the very real, very unmasked male who sees him for who he is.
Will he cling to the past, or finally allow himself to be known?

Set in the world of The Heir of Atlantis, Unmasking Aurelio is a spicy MM romantasy novella filled with longing glances, spicy encounters, and the kind of love that dares to unmask itself. Perfect for Valentine’s Day and anyone who’s ever fallen for the one they thought they couldn’t have.

This novella can be read as a standalone and requires no prior knowledge of the series. Intended for readers aged 18 and older.

In a world full of flowers and festivals, sunshines and rainbows, not everything is as it seems. The King’s only daughter is finally of age, and the time has come to unite the Kingdoms. The prince of petals and the lavender King's lifelong rivalry has finally reached its peak, fighting over the heart of the princess who took their breath away when they were mere children. There is no length that they wouldn’t go, or boundary they wouldn’t cross, to win the heart of the Princess who stole their heart all those years ago. Leaving the question, is it her that they truly love, or is it beating the other once and for all that they love the idea of the most?

Thank you for showing interest in my books. I have always had a love for writing. Growing up I always wrote short stories in notebooks for fun. I was raised by a single mother so I spent a lot of time alone. Now that I am older my love for writing has only grown. I have always dreamed of sharing my stories but always been too afraid to, with the encouragement of friends and family I decided that it was time to make my dreams reality. I can't thank you, the readers enough for supporting me and my work. I hope you enjoy this little piece of me.

When not contemplating her existence, she can be found consuming stories (spooky and non-spooky), giving herself emotional whiplash, enjoying long walks in the woods, and feeding the existential horror that persists. She is currently serving in the United States Army with her trusted companion Sebastian, who, unfortunately, is not a demon butler.

"SLAY!"
Leilah wants to be a monster hunter. She wants to do it so bad, she's pretending to be the notorious monster hunter known as The Scarred Rider in hopes she may meet the legend herself. But when her first hunt turns out to be way more dangerous than she can handle, Leilah may not live long enough to meet the Rider or, worse yet, she just might.

This post-apocalyptic monster-hunting western is the first chapter of an epic about coming of age soaked in blood and monster guts and the dangers of meeting your heroes in the dark woods while you're impersonating them.

"The Girlfriend Survives" follows the story of Delilah Dillon, a barista who wins the heart of local college professor Billy Bright. But what she can't possibly guess is that Billy is the civilian alter ego of the mighty superhero Brightstar! And when Brightstar's greatest foe discovers her connection, she finds herself headed down the same route as a hundred civilian love interests before her - right into the fridge. But Delilah has a secret of her own: she's a survivor and this superhero love story is about to get flipped on its head.
