"The war is over but the godly games continue.
Stella McKay has only ever wanted one thing: an epic romance like her parents have. She was raised on fairy tales and thinks she’s finally found her own legendary love with Prince Arden.
But when her prince is unexpectedly betrothed to someone else, Stella and Arden must seek out the goddess of love in the desperate hope she’ll grant them a coveted heart bond. Instead, the mischievous deity links Stella to the last person she’d ever want an intimate emotional connection with: Teddy Savero.
The only way to break the bond and reclaim her true love is to win the Gauntlet Games and secure a favor from the gods. The brutal tournament will test Stella in feats of wisdom, memory, and magic. But the greater threat to her happily ever after comes when Teddy enters as a contender.
With rebel assassins lurking, her opponents out for blood, and her new heart bond proving to be a perilous liability, Stella must outwit both gods and men before her competitors claim the winning favor—or her life.
A LEGACY OF STARS is a standalone next generation spinoff from The Lost God Series and can be read alone or as a follow up to the series.

LEGACY is perfect for readers who enjoyed the next generation romance of LJ Andrew's EVER SEAS SERIES and the brutal warrior tournament of Jasmine Mas' BLOOD OF HERCULES."
"This atmospheric, dark and spicy romantasy is perfect for fans of feminine rage, strong female friendships, unique magic systems, angsty romance, and ominous mysteries.
For centuries, the people of remote Ballybrine have kept the peace with their gods by sacrificing a Red Maiden to ferry souls from the Mother’s realm of the living, through the Dark Wood, to the Wolf’s realm of the dead. Soon it will be Rowan’s turn.
Ripped from her family as a young girl, Rowan Cleary has been forced into a cloistered life learning to please the wolf and wield her spirit-enchanting voice. Though none of the previous maidens have survived their five-year term, Rowan is determined to beat the odds and protect the women who have become family to her.
When a deathly blight breaks out in the Dark Wood, and the acting maiden is murdered, Rowan vows to strike a new bargain with the god of death to ensure her survival. The Wolf has always been someone to fear—even more so now that the townspeople blame him for the blight—but he’s far from the vengeful death god she expects.
To unravel the mystery, Rowan must seduce the Wolf. Soon, the attraction between them grows into a relentless magical force, threatening to shatter the delicate balance between realms and unleash a darkness eager to swallow their world.
Song of the Dark Wood is a standalone gothic fairy tale fantasy romance that blends a fractured Red Riding Hood retelling with a hint of Hades and Persephone. This coming of rage character-driven romance is perfect for fans of Rachel Gillig's One Dark Window, Rebecca Ross's A River Enchanted, and Hannah Whitten's Foxglove King."

""On a cold winter day, high in the mountains, a baby was born in the heart of a storm."
Xander Savero is reeling from the loss of his family and the love of his life. But there's no time for his broken heart when his kingdom is in peril. His cruel cousin is chipping away at Argaria's borders, leaving a trail of violence in his wake, and that's just the beginning.
The fiercest opposition comes from within Xander's own court, where nobles speculate about his parentage, commoners think he's an outsider, and assassins wait poised for the moment he drops his guard. Xander strives to put an end to the upheaval by marrying a princess from a stronger, more established kingdom. His decision plunges the Argarian court into a chaotic three-week festival, at the end of which he will choose a bride.
But more new faces at court mean more threats to Xander's life, compelling him to call in reinforcements from old friends. Cecilia's arrival is more hindrance than help, putting him face to face with the woman who shattered his heart, while he's still picking up the pieces. Together, Xander, Cecilia, and their friends must fight against a series of ancient spells, a spy in their midst, and their own haunted pasts to take down their faceless enemy before Xander and the kingdom both fall."
