From the author of The Silver & Orchids Series comes a breathtaking tale of two kingdoms torn apart by magic and the star-crossed lovers who set upon a perilous journey to reunite them before they fall into ruin. Enter the world of The Riven Kingdoms. After the sudden death of her brother, Princess Amalia is charged with what feels like an impossible task-she must choose the next king. Youthful thoughts of love are pushed aside as she accepts her fate, setting upon a quest throughout the kingdom to find a man worthy of her father's throne. Little does Amalia know, someone has already set his sights on her. Rhys is a man of secrets, and his mission is simple: befriend the princess of Renove. Coax her to trust him, convince her to follow him. Betray her when it's time. All goes according to plan until Rhys meets the princess. Amalia is a disaster. Never has he met someone so drawn to trouble. Never has he met someone so irritatingly likable. He's not allowed to fall for her. She could never entrust him with a crown. But, unbeknownst to them, their unlikely partnership might be the key to saving their entire world from a darkness that's slowly creeping from the wounded earth that separates one kingdom from the next.

Forest of Firelight

Never make a bargain with one of the Fae. It's a rule everyone knows...and yet it's one Alice's family seems to ignore. After her brother loses their entire family fortune in a wager he cannot afford, Alice ventures into the Rose Briar Woods to make a deal with the formidable Fae marquis who now owns her family's estate-a portrait in exchange for her brother's freedom. But instead of Lord Ambrose, the young artist meets a mysterious masked man who saves her when her carriage is attacked by goblins. Even though he warns her to leave the woods, Alice finds herself working in the marquis's manor. Right away, Alice realizes Lord Ambrose is not what she expects. He's kind when the Fae are supposed to be cold, and he's generous even though he wants to be rid of her. And more, he's hiding a painful past-one that seems to have something to do with Alice herself. Soon, Alice is torn between the handsome marquis and the dashing masked bandit who continues to visit her in the evenings, but her heart tells her something is amiss. Because it seems very likely the two men Alice is taken with just might be the same man... The Masked Fae is a breathtaking fantasy romance with a touch of angst and plenty of chemistry. Each book in the series is a complete story, and although it's best to read them in order, there are no cliffhangers.

The Masked Fae

Jake Andrews

The author of The Riven Kingdoms teams up with her husband to write an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance full of humor, adventure, and a good helping of epic action. With single-minded determination, Henrik has worked toward gaining his knighthood so he may rise above the lowly station in which he was born. But just when the coveted position is within his grasp, he's tasked with a mission that proves to be far more difficult than expected-secretly keeping a watchful eye on Lady Clover, a nobleman's daughter with a sharp tongue and a knack for starting fights. Clover, too, has one goal in life, and it has nothing to do with joining dull and dry Henrik on his supply run to the northern guard post. Why the blacksmith's son is so determined to keep her close, she has no idea. They bicker and fight, and if Clover were to find a troll pit, she would certainly dump Henrik into it. By the time they reach their destination, they are more than ready to be rid of each other. Unfortunately, something is amiss in the northern mountains. The usually quiet aynauths are on the move, with a bloodthirsty agenda of killing the peaceful Woodmoor elves. Putting their differences aside to work together, Henrik and Clover trek across the mountains to investigate. As they slowly unravel the mystery, uncovering clues that hint at a conspiracy against the crown, it quickly becomes apparent that what started as mutual distaste has morphed into something entirely different. Something dangerous, something they didn't expect. But neither Henrik nor Clover has room in their lives for love-especially when a sinister plot is already in the works that might not only tear them apart, but the entire kingdom as well...

Knight from the Ashes

Temporary peace has settled across Draegan as a new era begins for the cursed kingdom, but the royals know that tranquility is fleeting. In order to fulfill the magic and save the continent from its imminent destruction, Rhys and Amalia must once again return to Renove and see the rightful king ascend his throne. The sorrows of yesterday forgotten, Amalia looks forward to crossing the rift one last time to see her family, filled with hope that the impossible task she and Rhys were charged with will soon be complete. But the happy reunion doesn't go as planned. The curse has fully descended on the once-blessed kingdom, and an imposter king wears a stolen crown. Already, the broken magic begins to tear their world apart, and amidst it, an unavoidable battle looms that will test the royals in ways they never dared imagine. Filled with love, betrayal, and magic, Age of Auroras is the epic conclusion of The Riven Kingdoms.

Age of Auroras

Queen of Aparia is the all-new fifth and final book in the Obsidian Queen series. This contemporary fantasy is full of magic and humor, perfect for readers who enjoy swoony romance and sparking chemistry. Life is looking pretty good for Madeline Bennet. She can finally see the magic to unlock the thresholds to Aparia, and her love life is more stable than it's ever been. Sure, she and her favorite Griffon don't get a lot of quality time together. Also true, several shadow dragons are determined to destroy the human world. On top of that, there's a tiny glitch in the link that even Teagan didn't expect when he worked his Vulture magic on her and Rafe. But all that becomes inconsequential when someone steps forward with the power to not only challenge Madeline's birthright, but threaten the safety of people on both sides of the thresholds. The time has come for Madeline to choose a path. Will the Obsidian Queen claim her crown, opening the thresholds once and for all? Or will she quietly send the shadow creatures back to Aparia and live the Royal Guild-approved life she's always dreamed of? Madeline is up against her greatest challenge, and only one thing is certain: she'll meet it head-on, in high heels and a skirt, with her knights and hairless cat by her side.
