Writer of fantasy fiction, professional overthinker, and part-time wrangler of magical disasters. I write the stories I spent years searching for—ones with strong, stubborn, complicated women who don’t wait around to be rescued.
My books are filled with slow-burn tension, dark secrets, emotionally messy characters, and just enough magic to make everything worse.
I believe fantasy should be fierce, funny, and a little bit feral. So if you’re into morally grey love interests, found families, ancient spells gone wrong, and heroines who’d rather hex someone than cry—welcome.
This whole journey started as a creative escape between work and laundry. It’s a hobby that turned into a passion project, and I’m just here having fun telling the kinds of stories I’ve always wanted to read.

The Duke’s eldest daughter is everything he wants her to be beautiful, obedient, and locked away like a treasure no one can touch.
But when Lady Lilliana Lockwood dares to break the rules, she finds herself saved by the last man she should ever notice, Reade Ashford, her fathers loyal guard with storm-blue eyes and secrets he’ll never confess.
He thinks she’s untouchable. She thinks he’s beneath her. Yet stolen glances turn into stolen kisses, and soon the perfect daughter is hiding the most dangerous secret of all a love that could cost them everything.
When her father announces a marriage that will secure his power, Lilliana’s world shatters. Refusing him means punishment. Choosing Reade means war. And surrendering her heart may set fire to everything she has ever known.
A disgraced healer. A haunted Alpha. A marriage born of desperation.
When Ayla Morvain’s rebellion fails, she’s left with nothing—no pack, no home, and no hope. Captured and thrown into the dungeons of Stormwatch Keep, her fate seems sealed… until the Alpha offers her an impossible choice.
Damien Voss has buried four wives. The kingdom calls it a curse. He calls it fate. With Stormwatch’s future hanging by a thread and pressure mounting from the Bastion Alliance, Damien offers Ayla a bargain: a marriage in name only. One heir. No affection. No bond.
Survive the storms. Play the part. Keep her heart out of it.
But Stormwatch is colder than it seems, and something in the keep watches her far too closely. As lines blur and loyalties shift, Ayla begins to wonder what really killed the Alpha’s brides—
and whether she’ll survive long enough to find out.
He made her his to save her. Now he’ll burn the world to keep her alive.
Book Two of the Aruyios Trilogy
After betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, nineteen-year-old Lila Alden is out of options. Fleeing the human world with the werewolf prince who abandoned her once before, she finds herself in Aruyios—a realm of ancient power, rigid tradition, and sharp-toothed politics. But her arrival is not celebrated. She is not welcomed. She is watched.
A human among wolves. A girl with no title. A mate no one asked for.
Stripped of agency and silenced by protocol, Lila is expected to play the role of future princess: be seen, not heard. Smile. Dress up. Stay obedient. But the wild thing in her chest refuses to be tamed. As her connection to Aruyios deepens, something begins to stir—strange visions, flashes of magic, whispers from the moonlight itself. The more they try to suppress her, the more power she seems to awaken.
Tobi, heir to the throne, is no longer the reckless boy Lila once knew. Bound by duty and drowning in expectation, he fights to keep her safe while battling ghosts of his own—some born of guilt, others tied to the kingdom’s crumbling future. As old wounds resurface and dangerous truths are revealed, the two must find a way back to each other or risk losing everything to the very forces that drove them apart.
But Aruyios is on the brink. Political tensions simmer beneath gilded halls. Secret alliances shift in the shadows. And when an ancient law is invoked—one that could demand Lila’s blood—the line between survival and surrender becomes razor-thin.
In a land where power means protection, and tradition is wielded like a weapon, Lila must decide: will she follow the path laid out for her, or claim one of her own?
A story of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the fight to be seen—The Prince and His Princess is a thrilling continuation of the Aruyios Trilogy that asks: What if the girl no one wanted became the woman who could change everything?
“Mine.” His voice was low, rough, and right against her throat. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited to claim you.”
Lila Alden didn’t plan on kissing her dad’s assistant the night she blacked out at a party. She definitely didn’t plan on dreaming about him afterward—shirtless, possessive, calling her his. But the moment she lands in Lenweil for her gap year abroad, everything changes. The town is old. Mysterious. And Tobi keeps showing up like he’s been waiting for her.
He has.
Tobi isn’t who he pretends to be. Prince. Predator. Protector. He was given one year to find his fated mate before being forced into an arranged royal union. He thought his time had run out—until he met Lila. Until the dreams started. Until she kissed him like she belonged to him.
Now he’s breaking every rule to stay close.
As reality and dreams begin to blur, Lila is drawn into a world of hidden power, ancient bloodlines, and supernatural politics she never asked for. All she knows is that when Tobi touches her, her whole world tilts. And when he’s gone… it hurts to breathe.
He’s dangerous.
She’s human.
And the bond between them is forbidden.
But some instincts can’t be denied. And Tobi will burn kingdoms to keep her.
