Francesca “Frankie” Dahl came to a cabin outside Sterling Pines for the quiet. The senator’s daughter. The loner. The disappointment. She wanted woods, weather, and the kind of silence that didn’t ask anything of her.

Then the wolves showed up.

They watch from the tree line. Sleep on her porch. Let her rest a hand between their ears like she’s been trusted with something sacred. She doesn’t know they’re shifters. She doesn’t know they’re fugitives‚ bleeding from a job gone wrong and a truth no one wants uncovered. She doesn’t know they’re her mates.

She only knows the quiet inside her feels less empty when they’re near.

Pack Wesley knows everything she doesn’t. They stay in wolf skin because the bond pulled tight too fast and they can’t risk a word. They guard. They pretend. They tell themselves they can keep her safe without letting her see what they really are.

She thinks she’s the one offering them refuge. She has no idea they’d burn the forest down before they let anything take her from them.

SAVAGE STRAYS - Coming Soon (early chapters underway)

Dark reverse harem | Contemporary | Standalone | MFMM | Mixed shifter bonds (Lioness with Wolves)

Nikita “Kiki” Faustin is one of two shifters in Sterling Pines who isn’t a wolf. Raised as a lioness among wolves, she knows next to nothing about her true nature, and life has made sure she never forgets why that matters.

Lions and wolves don’t mix. Especially not in the bedroom.

She’s made her peace with that. Iced out her three former friends. And sharpened her pride into something that keeps them right where she wants them: at a distance.

Mordecai “Kai” Brenner, Gunner “G” Hospel, and Jarrot “Jay” Tameson aren’t a traditional pack: one alpha, two betas, and a bond none of them can name. A single tragedy forged the four of them overnight as kids, and what should have taken years took a day. For a long time, they were everything to each other.

Until her boys did the one thing she couldn’t forgive.

Now they’re pushing to get back in her good graces, but Kiki’s pride is both her greatest weapon and her most stubborn wound. It doesn’t matter how hard they push; a lioness doesn’t forget who hurt her, and she doesn’t let them close enough to do it twice.

The sun may shine in her favor, but she lives in a town ruled by the moon.

And her three former friends have decided it’s time to bring their savage stray home.

Savage Strays Duet: Book One is a dark, why-choose, mixed-shifter romance featuring a lion shifter FMC, feral-but-gentle MMCs, forced proximity, found family, protective obsession, and a love savagely claimed by outcast strays.

COLLARED CRIMINALS - Coming Soon (plotting in process)

BOOK ONE of the Collared Criminals Duet

Nine years ago, someone stole my identical twin. Today, the search finally led me to a cage, and the man locked inside looks at me as if he already knows what I am.

—PRAIRIE—

I believe in rules. In procedure, preparation, and distance. Emotion has no place in a courtroom or in the life of a woman hunting the truth about her missing sister.

I spent nine years smiling across boardroom tables at the man who raised us, my adopted father and the President of Harrington & Associates, while I hunted for her and swallowed the grief, rage, and suspicion that told me he knew exactly why she was gone.

My search led me to Sterling Pines. So I accept the firm’s demand to defend Wyatt Preston and I keep up the pretense of being there for my career.

What I don’t do is question the pull I feel every time I’m near him. Or why my own instincts feel wrong.

Because I don’t know I’m a shifter.

I don’t know I’m an omega.

I don’t know my wolf has been silenced... buried on purpose.

I don’t know my sister might be the key to everything I am.

—PACK PRESTON—

The bond hits the second she walks into the courtroom.

Wyatt feels it first. Then the rest of us: sharp, undeniable, wrong. She’s our mate... and she has no idea.

She’s human. That’s what we’re supposed to believe. The brilliant attorney who can free our leader. Yet she’s also the one woman we can’t touch. Can’t frighten. Can’t claim.

But the bond doesn’t care about rules.

If her wolf wakes too soon, she loses everything. If we wait too long, we lose her.

And the law can’t protect Prairie Harrington from either one.

Collared Criminals: Book One is a dark, why-choose shifter romance featuring a secret omega FMC, fated mates, restrained obsession, forced proximity through legal ties, a dangerous power imbalance, slow-burn bonding, and a pack that must earn her trust before they can claim what fate has already promised.

MATED TO MADNESS - Coming Soon (but not like super soon)

I thought I was insane. Turns out I’m something much worse.

I’m Pepper Harrington. Adopted daughter of a powerful family, twin sister to Prairie, and the broken one who got locked away. For years, I’ve lived in a padded room, drugged and gaslit into believing my wolf was nothing more than a delusion.

But the truth is so much worse.

The first time I shifted, I lost control. I nearly killed my mate: my stepbrother, Caz Braden. And for that, my adoptive father had me institutionalized, convinced I was too dangerous to be free.

Now, years later, Caz has found me. And he hasn’t come alone.

His pack is obsessed. Determined. Ruthless. They’ll do anything to free me. A new doctor whispers that I’m not crazy, that my wolf is real. And the bond I once damaged? It’s still there, clawing at me from the inside out.

I thought I was insane.

But the truth?

I’m something far more dangerous.

And when I finally accept what I am... nothing will be able to cage me again.

A dark why-choose shifter romance, hidden omega FMC, mental asylum, four obsessed alphas (MFMMM), forced proximity, doctor/patient (Tanner & Pepper), step-brother (Caz & Pepper), protective obsession, standalone series.
