A witch seeking connection…
If something ever seems too good to be true, it probably is. That’s how the “friendly” invitation to join a new coven turned into a surprise demon summoning. At least it wasn't a virgin sacrifice. Then I really would have been screwed—and not in the way they plan for with the succubus they’ve bound.
When I help free her from the bindings and offer her a ride back to work, things get even weirder. She tells me she wants to see me again. This captivating woman wants to see me—a nerdy witch who spends his free time playing D&D.
There’s no way she means it. Because that’s definitely too good to be true. Still, there’s no way I can resist the opportunity to spend more time with a goddess like her.
A succubus with a soft heart…
Nothing like getting summoned by a bunch of cultists to ruin your night. These creeps trapped me and won’t let me leave until I “feed on their desires”. I may be a succubus, but I’m not that desperate.
Thankfully, an unexpected savior helps free me. He’s adorable. So shy and earnest, valiantly trying to suppress the desire he feels in my presence. At first, I think it’s an act. But he proves his sweet nature is genuine.
Something about this witch calls to me. Not just to take him to the darkest depths of desire and see him undone—though that sounds fun. But to let myself open my scarred heart to someone who might not crush it.

A woman who dreams of more…
I’m having a hard time. And no, that's sadly not an innuendo. Depression is slipping back into my life like a toxic ex, and I know I need to do something before it consumes me. So when I run into the man of my dreams on my first attempt to get out of the house, it feels like fate.
But he turns out to be a nightmare, following me home and lurking outside my apartment. To make matters worse, after that terrifying encounter, I can’t stop dreaming about him. Night after night, he visits me in increasingly depraved dreams. They should be nightmares. So then why do I go to sleep each night desperate for more?A monster fighting his desires…
Moving to Moonvale was a fresh start. A chance to leave behind the drama and heartbreak my demonic heritage has brought me. But thanks to awful timing, I’ve already screwed things up. The beautiful, intriguing woman who felt like the key to living again thinks I’m stalking her.
All I can do is stay away and try not to terrify her more. Easier said than done, when dreams of her consume me. They call out to the literal inner demons that I’ve tried so hard to shut away. But how can I let the monster inside me out without becoming monstrous? -

This is a spicy paranormal romance with some darker themes and open door sex scenes. That means discussion and explicit depictions of sex and kink-based activities including voyerism, exhibitionism, CNC (consensual non-consent), bondage, fake stalking, fake kidnapping, and verbal degradation during dirty talk. Throughout the book, there are references to depression, pet loss/grief after losing a pet, internalized fat shame, and negative body image. There are short references to racism and misogyny, but they aren’t central to the themes of the book. There are brief depictions of blood and violence but they aren’t prevalent throughout the story.
Characters use profanity and explicit language throughout the book.

Afterglow is a spicy, slow burn sapphic romance featuring a jaded, lonely vampire FMC and a bubbly, anxious human FMC.
Afterglow is Book 2 in the Monsters of Moonvale series, however, it can be read as a standalone. The characters are introduced in Behold Her so I recommend reading it first if you’re planning on reading both books.

A woman rediscovering herself…
After my husband left, all I wanted was to find myself again. Turns out that’s a lot easier said than done when my chronic pain has me canceling plans and everything I try reminds me of my inadequacies.
Things only get worse when my attempt at exploring submission is a total disaster. But hope comes in the form of my stoic, stunning vampire friend, Blair. She offers to teach me, giving me a space to safely explore a side of myself I’ve kept locked away.
It’s meant to be platonic. Just one friend helping another. So then why can’t I stop imagining what it would be like to take things further?
A vampire losing control…
I’ve spent the past ten years building a life where I’m in control. I swore I’d never go back to being the pathetic, emotional girl I was before I was turned.
Then Grace showed up.
I knew from the moment we met she’d be a problem. My monster craves her in a way that terrifies me, and her humor and beauty pierce through the cracks in my carefully crafted, cold facade. Yet keeping my distance would ruin one of the few friendships I have.
How do I shore up the crumbling barriers around my heart before I end up more broken and alone than I was the night I became a vampire?

A Guide to Ghosting is a spicy ghost romance that features two plus size main characters who engage in open-door, explicit sex scenes. This includes voyeurism, creative uses of ghost abilities in the bedroom, light D/s dynamics (both characters are switches), edging, orgasm denial, and lots of dirty talk. There is some mild dubcon since the MMC isn't 100% sure who/what is watching him and touching him at first.
While this is a silly and spicy story, mentions of death/being dead and the afterlife feature prominently. There are also discussions of grief (both MCs), death of a parent (past, MMC's mother), illness of parent (past, MMC's father), loneliness, and worries about mental health.
There are major plot elements that involve the FMC gaslighting and catfishing the MMC as part of a scheme for revenge.
Characters use profanity and explicit language throughout the book.
