Drown the Sea
Dying Gods Series - Book One
Adrienne had everything. The friends, the clothes, the college acceptance letter - not to mention a healthy social calendar. Then one stupid mistake has her packing her bags to spend the summer with her estranged mom in Santorini.
Adrienne is determined to make the best out of her forced holiday until the date from hell results in her getting attacked, nearly drowning, then rescued by a bunch of seafaring cosplayers. Because what else could explain the Bronze Age-era boat full of shirtless, loincloth-wearing men?
Now, if only there was a way to explain the complete lack of technology, the insurmountable language barrier, or the fact that everyone is staring at her like she’s from another planet…
Drown the Sea is the first book in the Dying Gods series. It is a slow burn historical time-travel reverse harem romance suitable for readers 18+
Burn the Stars
Dying Gods - Book Two
Time-travelling to the Bronze Age Mediterranean was never part of Adrienne’s plans.
Adrienne has been doing her best to adapt to life among the Minoans. But the language barrier is nothing compared to the cultural divide – and the ensuing misunderstanding that results in Adrienne falling for a man already promised to another.
When Adrienne discovers that the famed Oracle on Crete might know how she can return home, she agrees to leave her newfound friends behind and embark on a dangerous journey.
Will the Oracle give her the answers she seeks … or will she find her destiny is already written in the stars?
Burn the Stars is the second book in the Dying Gods series. It is a slow burn historical time-travel reverse harem romance suitable for readers 18+. Contains mm.
Wake the Gods
Dying Gods - Book Three
Even after visiting the Oracle, Adrienne still can’t quite believe the prophesy. But whether she believes it or not, there is no denying the strange power building within her, or the bond forming between her and her men.
Now, after making her daring escape from Knossos, Adrienne’s enemies have only grown more dangerous, and everything she has come to love is at risk. Faced with a power-hungry god and a greedy queen, Adrienne has a decision to make. A decision that will change the very course of history.
Will Adrienne learn how to wake the power within before it’s too late?
Suitable for readers 18+
Latent Wolf
Book One in the Tobias Finch Series
Being a fifteen-year-old wolf shifter is totally overrated. Especially when I can’t actually turn into a wolf. To make matters worse, I’ve got a secret every other shifter would kill me for. A secret that got my parents killed.
It’s a secret I was planning on keeping - until I met Lucy Stone and the Clear Creek pack. Now two of the pack have gone missing, and there may be a link between the recent kidnappings and my parents’ deaths.
After fifteen years of hiding, the truth is finally catching up with me. The question is – do I keep running, or do I stand and fight?
The Tobias Finch series is YA fiction, suitable for age 12+.
Accidental alpha
Book Two in the Tobias Finch Series
Sixteen-year-old Tobias Finch was never meant to lead a pack. As a born alpha, he shouldn’t even be alive. When a mission to rescue his friends results in him accidentally acquiring a pack - and shifting into a wolf for the first time - he knows his secret is out. Now quite a few shifters want him dead and Tobias is faced with the daunting task of protecting his pack. But how can he possibly be an alpha when he can’t even control his wolf?
Things haven’t been the same for Lucy Stone since she came home from the fight at Blackwater, and strange things are happening at the Clear Creek pack. When she sees more than she should, she’s faced with an impossible choice: loyalty to her pack, or protecting the innocent.
The Tobias Finch series is YA fiction, suitable for age 12+.

Cody Winslow
Coming home to Half Moon Ranch was never supposed to be like this. I was supposed to come home victorious. Free. With Summer by my side and my future ahead of me.
