A dark, sexy, and wickedly funny new enemies-to-lovers romance for readers of Laura Thalassa, Sarah J. Maas, Kerri Maniscalco, and Jennifer L. Armentrout. A siren who must stay silent to survive. An executioner with a bounty he cannot kill. Lu has been living a quiet, undercover life as a vampire hidden in the quaint village of Sanford. Afraid that her voice will give her secrets away, Lu has lived for years without words, speaking only to the one witch she can trust. Except, of course, when it's time to hunt. When it comes to luring in her victims, no song is sweeter than Lu's. But when Lu's hunt is interrupted by Ashen, a mysterious and striking Reaper of the Shadow Realm, it seems like fate has finally caught up with her. An executioner with a soul to claim, Ashen doesn't realize he's stumbled on the bounty of an immortal lifetime until it's too late. As the two enemies are forced to work together to solve a crime that shouldn't be possible, it's more than just secrets that emerge between them. With every moment that passes, Lu finds it harder and harder to live like a shadow among her enemies, especially the enigmatic demon she's bound to. She might just be a little bored of living the quiet life. But for Lu, nothing is more inseparable than danger and desire. ...And there are few creatures in any realm more dangerous than Ashen. *mature themes, including violence, strong language, & sexual content*

Quinn has a rare and powerful gift, one that manifested from the rage and trauma of her harrowing childhood. Years later, the anger she can't let go of makes her an unpredictable and dangerous weapon of last resort for a kingdom on the brink of war. Diviners like Quinn are venerated yet feared, protected yet exploited. Bonded to the Queen, they are forced to endure hardship and sacrifice to protect her empire. After a near loss in a key battle and the death of the Diviner of Fire, the Queen calls for aid from the elite soldiers of the allied territories to the East. A striking warrior named Kiran is assigned to protect and train Quinn, and as the pair become close despite the rules that bind them, they discover that the enemies within are just as dangerous as the ones at the gates. Time is running out for Quinn to harness her power. The enemy is closing in around them. Impossible sacrifices haunt every decision Quinn makes. As she fights to keep what little she's claimed as hers, Quinn learns that her destiny might not lie in the hands of fates or kingdoms, but in her own. Praise for The Diviner "The Diviner is a wonderfully immersive fantasy set in a carefully crafted magical world and is as much a deeply emotional love story as a suspenseful adventure. The slow burn became an inferno." - W.D. Henning, author of Paradise Blight and Dark Fall "The Diviner is intricately written, and not like any fantasy story you've read before. This book will get you hooked and you'll build special connections with the characters... (you'll) love Quinn of course, but you'll also fall in love with Kiran, Skye, Adri, and Rolfe. The Diviner is worth the read - every second you spend on it is not wasted." - Aina Untalan, author of Exes and Ohs "Quinn is an actual badass instead of being a damsel in distress, which I hardly ever get to see in books." - Court of Miracles Awards (Finalist) "Fans of fantasy romance series like From Blood And Ash and A Discovery of Witches will love The Diviner." - D.

An odyssey of family, heartbreak, violence, punk rock, brokenness, broke-ness, sex, love, loss, drinking, drinking, drinking, and an unlikely savior: distance running. A misfit kid at the best of times, Mishka Shubaly had his world shattered when, in a twenty-four-hour span in 1992, he survived a mass shooting on his school's campus, then learned that his parents were getting divorced. His father, a prominent rocket scientist, abandoned the family and their home was lost to foreclosure. Shubaly swore to avenge the wrongs against his mother, but instead plunged into a magnificently toxic love affair with alcohol. Almost two decades later, Shubaly's life changed again when a fateful five-mile run after a bar fight inspired him to clean up his life. And when he finally reconnected with his estranged father, he discovered the story of his childhood was radically different from what he thought he knew. In this fiercely honest, emotional, and self-laceratingly witty book, Shubaly relives his mistakes, misfortunes, and infrequent good decisions: the disastrous events that fractured his life; his incendiary romances; his hot-and-cold career as a rock musician; meeting his newborn nephew while out of his gourd on cough syrup. I Swear I'll Make It Up to You is an apology for choices Shubaly never thought he'd live long enough to regret, a journey so far down the low road that it took him years of running to claw his way back.
