Clara & Asterion
A woman on the run falls into the protective arms of a horned monster.
Running from her past Clara Holloway finds herself hiding in a rustic cabin on the very edges of the small town of Coldwater Springs, Montana, a place rumored to attract monsters, demons, and ancient gods.
Determined to lay low and make her own way, Clara discovers that she might just need to trust someone and heal her past hurts - even if that someone comes in a seven foot tall package complete with horns, hooves, and is an absolute cinnamon roll!
Asterion is ancient, and has been living a lonely existence in the forest for hundreds of years. Feeling guilty, Asterion must care for Clara, and when he finds out what she is running from, he must act to rescue her.
What happens when Clara’s past and Asterion clash together? Who rescued whom?

Kate & Zerachiel
A workaholic bookstore clerk accidentally summons a demon into her bedroom, who saves her from a shadowy threat.

Zerachiel spent centuries as a shadow, untethered and alone. He was never meant to be in Coldwater Springs. Bound by ancient magic, he has only one month before Kate must find a way to send him back to the realm he came from. But as days turn into nights filled with a heat neither of them can deny, the question shifts from how he will leave… to if he even wants to.
Yet something lurks in the darkness, watching, waiting. When danger comes for Kate, can she defy fate and claim the life—and the love—she never thought she deserved?

Book 3 "Taken by the River God"
Dr. "Lena" & Nahuél
A scientist studying the cave formations of the town, falls headlong into the lair of a forgotten ancient river god.
Dr. Magdalena “Lena” Vance has spent her whole career proving she’s more than just a pretty face. Smart, tall, blonde—and constantly underestimated—she’s tired of being talked over by condescending men in cargo vests. When a cave-mapping expedition brings her to the sleepy town of Coldwater Springs, she’s determined to focus on the science, not the scenery.
Then she falls—literally—into the arms of something ancient, powerful, and very, very wet.
Nahuél has slumbered for centuries beneath the mountains, forgotten and bound to the cold, dark springs that once sang with his magic. But when a golden-haired woman trespasses into his domain, everything shifts. She awakens something in him—something primal and hungry. And for the first time in a thousand years, he chooses.
As Lena returns to him again and again, what begins as fascination turns into something more dangerous. More divine. But Nahuél is still trapped beneath the surface… and if he wants a life with Lena, he’ll have to risk everything to rise.

Book 4 "Entwined by the Forest God"
Amaya & Sylvain
A woman starting over stumbles into a magical oasis belonging to a grumpy forgotten forest god.
He’s an ancient forest god, content to be forgotten. She’s the sunshine he never saw coming.
Amaya Yazzie is used to starting over—but that doesn’t mean she likes it. Between short-term jobs and long-distance homesickness, she’s feeling stuck. So when her car breaks down outside Coldwater Springs, she wanders into the woods to clear her head… and stumbles into something older than myth.
Sylvain has lived countless lifetimes in solitude. The once-worshipped god now pours beers at a backwoods bar and guards the sacred land he was sworn to protect. But when Amaya trespasses onto his mountain, she awakens something in him—something powerful, something hungry, something so inconvenient.
She’s mouthy. She’s hyper. She’s… mesmerizing.
Amaya isn’t looking for a man, let alone a seven-foot-tall one with antlers, glowing eyes, and an attitude problem. But when a bartending job at The Hungry Stag lands her in Sylvain’s orbit, their tension turns combustible. And when developers threaten the land he’s bound to, she doesn’t run—she fights beside him.
Now Sylvain must decide if keeping her safe means keeping her out of his world… or finally letting her in.
Entwined by the Forest God standalone novella in the Monsters of Coldwater Springs series, featuring: a sunshiney, fast-talking Indigenous heroine who always takes charge; a reclusive forest god who begs to be ruined (and likes it that way); deep forest magic, sacred lands, and barroom flirtation; gentle femdom spice, monster worship, and no third-act breakup; and a heroine who finally finds home—and a monster who never thought he deserved one.
Perfect for readers who crave grumpy gods, bold women, cozy forests, and monsters brought to their knees.
Book 5 "Desired by the Demon"
Simone & Dravik
A newcomer to town, aiming to open a computer shop and internet cafe, must rely on the town's reclusive junkyard owner for help. Meanwhile, strange things keep happening in town.
Series finale and bridge to The Crescent Coven series.
Simone Okoye came to Coldwater Springs for one reason: to launch her computer shop and finally work for herself without the burnout. But the quiet mountain town isn’t what she expected. The wifi’s spotty, and locals aren't exactly warming up to her. Then her water heater breaks down, leading her face-first into a grumpy, grease-streaked, half-naked demon.
Dravik doesn’t like people. Not the humans in town, not the other monsters hiding in plain sight, and definitely not the techy, sexy woman coming to him for help. He’s been exiled for centuries, content to tinker in peace—until Simone shows up with her quick mouth, brilliant brain, and adorable dog. Now his machines aren’t the only thing overheating.
They clash instantly. They can’t keep their hands off each other. And when strange magic starts crackling through Coldwater’s tech, threatening to expose every monster in town, they’ll have to partner up to trace the source—a rising power that smells suspiciously like witchcraft.
With tensions mounting, secrets unspooling, and desire threatening to burn everything down, Simone and Dravik must decide: can they trust each other long enough to save Coldwater? Or will lust and loyalty collide before the truth comes out?
Desired by the Demon is a quick 90-minute, spicy, standalone monster romance featuring a brilliant, Black, boss-level heroine and a bickering, brooding demon with a soft spot for animals. Cozy, small-town, no third-act breakup, with a guaranteed HEA! It kicks off the Crescent Coven subplot within the Monsters of Coldwater Springs series. For readers who love a woman in charge, a monster who begs, spicy banter, and monsters who worship their women, filthy and fast.
