Frequently asked questions
About the books
Is it dark romance?
It has dark-romance pressure, and the book takes it seriously. The heart of the series is a love story built on restraint and choice. Check each book's content notes before you read.
Is it romantasy?
It's paranormal: real Texas, real limestone, and something underneath it. If you like romance with magic in the real world, you're in the right place.
How spicy are they?
It climbs with the series. Book One is a slow burn with the heat in memory. Book Two is hotter, on the page and in flashback. Book Three is hotter still. Each book page lists its heat.
Tropes and heat, book by bookAre there content warnings?
My books are paranormal romance and romantic suspense with a dark edge. They include violence and death, captivity, mind control, body horror and creatures, grief, and sexual content. The heat climbs across the series. They're written for adults. Each book has detailed content notes. Those contain spoilers, so they're on their own page.

Why aren't your books on Amazon?
Buying here means more of what you pay goes to the person who wrote the book, and it lets me offer things a big store can't, like a signed gift box.
Where can I buy them?
Here, direct.
Join the waitlistWhere are signed copies?
Signed copies come in the gift box, with a bookmark and a handwritten note from me. Books from the regular shop are printed and shipped by the printer, so they aren't signed.
