My Work
Pretty Monsters Trilogy
Pretty Monsters (Pretty Monsters 1)Welcome to Devil’s Crossing, where monsters dwell. Here we don't hide in the shadows.
I am vengeance wrapped in a pretty package, but you can call me Sin, everyone else does.
I’m a weapon and as such I live for one thing only, to bring death where I’m aimed. That is until the night she walks into the moonlight.
I’m not good for her, but maybe I’m exactly who she needs to help her escape it.
Unless I break her first.

Perfect Sin (Pretty Monsters 2)
You can't run from your problems. A fact we learned at the end of a gun.
Not unlike most of my life's lessons.
Raven falls back in the clutches of her father, and in order to save her, I'll have to make a deal with the devil incarnate, Damien Blackthorne.
Once I learn the secrets of my past, I'll have to decide, am I a monster or her dark prince?
For her, I'll give everything. She's my salvation, and I'm her perfect Sin.

Peaceful Chaos (Pretty Monsters 3)
Raven and I fought for peace and found it inside chaos and bloodshed. Our life will never be perfect. There are too many victims, too much pain for us to wrap our happy ending in a bow.
Not that a perfect ending matters to us, because that isn’t who we are. We found each other through pain, and tied ourselves to each other in ribbons of trauma.
Everything else might be up in the air, but I know one thing for sure. Raven is my everything, and I’ll resurrect my inner monster to keep her.
This is the conclusion to the Pretty Monsters Trilogy. No Cliffhanger and an HEA.
Trigger Warning: This book contains flashbacks of abuse that may disturb readers.

Business and Pleasure
Beck and Call (Business and Pleasure 1)
Business and Pleasure shouldn’t mix.
Yet, that’s exactly what I’m contemplating after Seattle’s most eligible bachelor strolled into the diner where I work and made me an offer I’m having a hard time refusing.
Beckett Anderson has the looks and money to get the attention of any woman, and yet he wants me to be the one at his beck and call. If I accept I’m to be his assistant in and out of the boardroom. In exchange, I’d finally have a chance to use my college degree and escape the cycle of poverty I’ve known my entire life.
He wants my mind and my body, but can I keep my heart out of it? Because if I can’t, instead of saving me, he might be what finally breaks me.

Beck and Call (Business and Pleasure 2)
Colter Greyson is off limits.
There’s a long list of reasons why I can’t give into the attraction that simmers between us. But quite possibly, the biggest reason being…
He’s my best friend’s father.
With my sarcastic sense of humor as a weapon, I fight off all of his advances. My heart is safe behind the titanium walls I’ve carefully constructed.
Until it isn’t.
Until the night the life I knew is snatched away, and I find myself with nowhere and no one to turn to. Colter transforms once again from my sparring partner into my white knight.
He comes up with a solution to my problems. All I have to do is say, “I do.”
Maybe this can work…as long as I remember, Colter Greyson isn’t mine to keep.

Broken Heart Duet
Hunting Butterflies
He was my first crush, first love, and my greatest heartbreak.
The first time I felt the flutter of butterflies was when I started falling for my best friend, Tristan. Every time he looked at me, my stomach was a constant swirl of nerves.
Our love was smoldering hot, so it was inevitable that one of us would get burned. I knew it was always going to be me. Tristan was meant for more than our small town, and when he left, the butterflies went with him.
His face was everywhere as Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob. Every rumored relationship was available on every tabloid making sure I could never escape the pain.
While I watched him forget me in less than a year, I knew I’d never be able to erase him from my life. Trying to move on was my biggest mistake of all.
Now, he’s back in town asking for a second chance. My mother made me promise to never stop hunting butterflies…but I am not the same woman he left behind ten years ago.
This is a stand alone novel with an HEA.
