I may have recently discovered there’s an entire universe out there, but right now, nothing exists but Tavryn.
Banjo
There’s nothing like winning a singing competition and making your life-long dream come true… and then finding out you’ve been drafted for the Human Relocation Program.
My family needs that prize money. All I have to do is make it back to Earth and record an album in one year. That’s my focus. Getting home. I can’t let myself be distracted by anything else. At least until a smoking hot alien saves me from certain death. He promises me he’ll take me home—for a price—but what if I don’t want to go home anymore?
Tavryn
Everything was going fine until I rescued this ridiculous human from a planet where he was abandoned to be some creature’s lunch. No doubt it’s because he never shuts up.
I make a living kidnapping humans and taking them home, but Banjo can’t cover my fee. Instead of selling him off to the highest bidder, I decide to be merciful and let him help me find my current client, his former roommate.
As soon as I have them in my possession, I’ll return them to Earth and never look back. Except… Banjo is more charming and attractive than any human has a right to be, and he makes such a pretty pet. Too bad he’d never want to give up his life on Earth for someone like me.
Book one of the Starhawk trilogy
Niko has only ever wanted to protect people.
Once a bounty hunter renowned for bringing in the most dangerous criminals the galaxy had to offer, Niko's life was forever altered after a job gone wrong left him with a devastating injury. Resigned to a languishing existence, he now believes his bounty hunting days are officially over. But when an elusive assassin known only as the Kestrel sets his aim on galactic leaders and celebrities, Niko is called back into the fight.
Caught in a deadly hunting game of cat and mouse, Niko soon discovers that nothing he's been told about the Kestrel is what it seems, exposing a web of lies as vast and entangled as the galaxy itself.
Niko is forced to make a choice: work alongside the only family he has left to stop the Kestrel from ever killing again, or save the life of the very assassin he's been sent to take down…
And Niko might just be falling in love with him.
Book two of the Starhawk trilogy
Allied together now as partners in crime and lovers, Niko and Elliott have the ire of an entire galaxy pointed their way. As complications pile up against them and old friends become enemies, continuing the fight against the corrupt and powerful elites of Honeybliss is only getting harder.
Niko’s former mentor, the revolutionary and bounty hunter, Lady Death, can grant them the chance to finally expose the harrowing truth of Honeybliss and save countless lives—but Elliott isn’t convinced that they can trust her.
Especially not when three years ago, Niko vanished while owing her a precious debt.
Niko is forced to confront the past he’s been running from, which means going deep into the heart of a black market empire ruled only by credits, with the biggest bounty the galaxy has ever seen on his and Elliott’s heads.
They say love is the most powerful force in the galaxy... but they forgot about money.

"But still there's a split—a moth-shaped divide. Tell me, Sorcerit, will your answer be right? Or will you consign us to doom-colored night?"
Ages ago, an Oracle foretold a malevolent doom, coming to rain death over Bordoroth and the Five Realms. Yet, as time crawled on, the empire flourished and her riddled warnings were ignored.
But shadows creep slowly. They whisper and wait, patient as they stretch towards those they seek to consume.
Unbeknownst to Brand, they stalk his every footstep, threatening everyone around him, and his only hope for saving them is a powerful and mysterious healer from the neighboring realm.
Lunara.
The otherworldly beauty ignites something primal within Brand, her vibrant spirit tempting him past a lifetime of reservations for the chance to get closer. Conflicted, Lunara struggles to resist his magnetic pull, torn between her own deepening desire and the deadly cost of her secrets.
Poor fool. Fate is a dark and twisted creature, and refuses to be denied.
A series of devastating attacks draws them closer, horrors ravaging the realms, forcing Lunara to confront not only the starving night... but the one male who deserves her truths.
Lunara must decide: claim her true identity and face her own end, or disappear forever to keep Brand safe.
One wrong choice may spell ruin for them all.
Of Moths and Stone is the first installment in The Towers of Bordoroth series: an epic fantasy romance featuring lyrical prose, lush, immersive world-building, and an intricate, character-driven plot. This gritty and breathtaking love story is perfect for fans of The Witcher, the War of Lost Hearts trilogy, and When the Moon Hatched.
phantasma book club
Welcome to Phantasma. There are only two rules to the game: Stay alive. And don’t fall in love.
When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish.
Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals.
Every day the house creates new monsters. But just as Ophelia’s fears threaten to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain.
Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. All he asks in return is ten years of her life.
Ophelia knows she shouldn’t trust him. Blackwell doesn’t seem dangerous, but appearances can be deceptive. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer.
Her life is on the line. But in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart . . .
game over book club
In the game of predator and prey, sometimes the greatest trap is discovering you no longer want to escape.
I've always escaped into gaming when reality became too much. As MistressOfMischief, I found freedom behind a screen, building a bond with my online partner, Rogue. Our bond felt more real than most of my ‘real’ relationships. For over two years, we shared victories and late-night conversations—I thought I knew him.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
When I wake in Ryker Kent's compound after being drugged at GamerCon, I discover the horrifying truth: Rogue, my trusted gaming companion, and GhostDaddy, the TikTok cosplayer I secretly fantasized about, are the same man—a brilliant, dangerous billionaire who's been watching me for years.
Ryker has designed a twisted game just for me, with levels that push me beyond my limits. From humiliating tasks to being hunted through forests, each challenge strips away another layer of my defenses, forcing me to confront desires I've kept buried. The further I progress, the more I realize a terrifying truth: the darkness within me thrives under his control, making me crave the danger he provides.
Now, as the outside world beckons, I must decide: do I escape the man who kidnapped me or embrace the one who truly sees me—a man whose obsession has become my salvation?
In this dangerous game, there's only one thing I know for certain: no matter who wins, nothing will ever be the same again.
loving a vampire book club
Celine Brennan should be riding the high of her recent promotion to detective, but instead she’s been saddled with a case no one can seem to solve with murders so gruesome others before her have quit. Not to mention, there’s something suspicious with a new club in town and her focus keeps being pulled from the case she should be devoting her attention to.
Zavier Lockwood is old. Three-hundred-years old to be precise and he’s bored because of it. Killing the scum of Chicago and cleaning up the streets since the cops can’t seem to do it is his favorite pastime. Until he lays eyes on Celine. Soon, he finds his obsession with her far more tempting than murder. After all, no vampire can resist the allure of their mate.
As their paths cross thanks to Zavier’s uncanny ability to be wherever Celine is they both come to realize there’s something far more nefarious going on in the city they both love. They’ll have to work together to get to the bottom of it, but what happens when Celine realizes the man she’s falling for isn’t only not human, but he’s the same one committing the crimes she’s supposed to solve?

Love Is A War Song
By: Danica Nava
Pop singer Avery Fox has become a national joke after posing scantily clad on the cover of Rolling Stone in a feather warbonnet. What was meant to be a statement of her success as a Native American singer has turned her into a social pariah and dubbed her a fake. With threats coming from every direction and her career at a standstill, she escapes to her estranged grandmother Lottie’s ranch in Oklahoma. Living on the rez is new to Avery—not only does she have to work in the blazing summer heat to earn her keep, but the man who runs Lottie’s horse ranch despises her and wants her gone.
Red Fox Ranch has been home to Lucas Iron Eyes since he was sixteen years old. He has lived by three rules to keep himself out of trouble: 1) preserve the culture, 2) respect the horses, and 3) stick to himself. When he is tasked with picking up Lottie’s granddaughter at the bus station, the last person he expected to see is the Avery Fox. Lucas can’t stand what she represents, but when he’s forced to work with her on the ranch, he can’t get her out of his sight—or his head. He reminds himself to keep to his rules, especially after he finds out the ranch is under threat of being shut down.
It’s clear Avery doesn’t belong here, but they form a tentative truce and make a deal: Avery will help raise funds to save the ranch, and in exchange, Lucas will show her what it really means to be an Indian. It’s purely transactional, absolutely no horsing around…but where’s the fun in that?

The Knight and the Moth
By Rachel Gillig
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions. But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.

The Brit
By: Jodi Ellen Malpas
Pleasure has never been so deadly. Rose Cassidy doesn’t truly live; she just exists. Numbing herself to fear and pain is the only way she can survive in this cruel world. So when she’s taken as collateral by the notorious Danny Black in a deadly game of power, she’s thrown by the deep fear she feels rising within her. And, worse than fear, a profound desire.

But she must fight their twisted attraction or risk losing the one thing she survives for. When Danny Black took an enemy’s beautiful lover as security, he never anticipated the repercussions. Or the warped attraction they would share. Rose Cassidy pushes Danny to the brink of madness with her impenetrable façade and savage allure. He has to remind himself that she’s bait. A solution to a problem. Yet she evokes powerful feelings in Danny, and feelings are risky when you’re wanted dead by endless enemies. The most dangerous game is about to be played. But can either of them win?*This story is gritty, dark, edgy, and contains scenes that some people may find uncomfortable to read. It is NOT for the fainthearted.
