After being burned by his previous relationship, he’s a bit wary of starting something new, even if he can’t stop thinking about Summer.

When John pushes them to spend time together, polite conversation evolves into small touches and kind words, and despite Borealis’ resistance and Summer’s uncertainty, their attraction is undeniable. But can love be stronger than the emotional scars they both carry?

In the enchanting town of Darkwater, Beau Drewitt has carved out a quiet life as the charming owner of a small bookstore, where the scent of old paper and whispered stories keep him company through his endless, lonely nights.

Beau has long since convinced himself that any love interest would be much better off without his particular brand of supernatural baggage - until he meets Elowen.

Elowen Briar is a therapist devoted to healing the traumas of her clients, but who pushes her own loneliness to the side. When fate intertwines her life with Beau's, she finds herself inexplicably drawn toward the enigmatic bookstore owner, blissfully unaware that her meet-cute may come with fangs and a body count.

As Beau grapples with his growing obsession and the realization that Elowen is his mate, he must confront more than his own demons - he must protect Elowen from Kalevala, a ruthless vampire who has set her sights on him and refuses to take no for an answer.

Keeping Elowen safe might be the hardest thing Beau has ever done, but resisting the urge to keep her at arm's length is a close second.

Stake Me If I'm Wrong is a slow-burn dark rom-com with a paranormal twist that dives deep into trauma, redemption, and the questionable life choices that come with falling in love while undead.

August Monroe never wanted war—only to cross the river and train under a world-renowned chef.

Then a Sovereign’s unchecked rage cleaved the world in two and stole the only person who ever truly knew her.

She should’ve drowned in grief.
Instead, she sharpened her knives.

When her mentor rises at the head of a growing Resistance, August refuses to stand aside. But war offers no clean lines, and patience runs thin. Desperate for answers, she infiltrates the palace of a powerful Sovereign, stepping straight into the shadows of the magic that destroyed her world.

But something ancient stirs in her blood—something the Fallen Stars would kill to possess.

In a realm unraveling with secrets, magic, and betrayal, August will stop at nothing to find the people she loves—even if it takes everything she has, and even if everyone else gives up.

Betrayal. Found Family. Feminine Rage. And a girl who refuses to break.
This is August’s story—and she’ll walk through fire to make it her own.
