A fantasy author from Baltimore, Maryland, who grew up with my nose in a book and my heart in magical worlds. I have a degree in Psychology, but my true passion lies in crafting romantasy, urban fantasy, high fantasy, and paranormal romance stories.
I’m a lover of tattoos, tea (matcha, chai, jasmine—you name it), and all things fantasy, especially anything with gothic, witchy, dragon, or spooky vibes. Give me a book with rivals-to-lovers tension, found family, or a touch of feminine rage, and I’m sold.
In 2019, I started my publishing journey after taking a break from my career to stay home with my triplet boys. They gave me the courage to finally dive into the worlds I’d been dreaming about—and I’ve been creating ever since.
A fire princess, the scourge of vale, and a mate bond...
Elaerys was one step away from completing a peace treaty to end the war that spanned hundreds of years -- all it would take was Arianna mating with the heir of Vale, the enemy kingdom in the north.
Arianna, broken inside and out after an attack by a savage beast that escaped in the cover of darkness, agrees, but keeps her motivation a secret.
She leaves for Vale determined to hunt the beast that had torn her world apart, and she has no intention of giving her terrifying and hauntingly beautiful new mate her attention, let alone her heart.
Can Arianna hunt the beast while keeping her heart safe?
Aish protects the brave.
"Of Shadow and Ember " is perfect for fans looking for their next fae fantasy with slow-burn, forbidden, enemies-to-lovers romance.
