There’s more than one way to conquer a warrior
Aaron: I wake from a nap bound and at the mercy of an enemy colonel. He has scars, huge muscles and way too many weapons. He says I’m his prisoner of war. But when bandits attack us, he risks his life to protect me. And things kinda… escalate. Soon kisses replace suspicions, and we’re playing prisoner and guard just for fun. But what about my duty to my people? Am I falling in love and becoming a traitor all at once?
Neil: I’m a soldier—the rules are simple. When I find an enemy in the wilderness, I take him prisoner. So what if he has honey-colored eyes and a wicked sense of humor? But as we huddle together at night (solely for warmth, of course), I want to keep him all to myself. Even though it’s forbidden. Even though I swore I’d never let emotion get in the way of duty again. But Aaron shatters my defenses. He’s making me risk the same mistakes again. He makes me want to risk everything.
MM romance meets cozy fantasy in this sweet enemies to lovers novel. Duty vs. desire, culture clash, protective MC, us against the world vibes, hot air balloons, sword fights, and lots of cuddling. Happy For Now ending. Neil and Aaron's story continues in Captive Hearts book 2: Ash and Roses

Coming soon
Neil has always been the protector. But this time, I’m going to save him.
​
Callinthen soldiers have taken the city. I hate seeing my boyfriend Neil so downcast as they flaunt their victory. He already blames himself for the invasion. He’s my big strong soldier, but this time he needs someone to rescue him.
My only chance is an invitation to the banquet celebrating the new emperor’s victory. The Callinthens’ talisman, a “mystical” gemstone, will be there. Maybe I can beat them with trickery, using chemistry to manipulate the talisman’s signals. I can’t get caught: the Callinthens aren’t known for their mercy. But if I don’t try, the city will be stuck under their command forever, and Neil will never forgive himself. Trouble is, he’s so overprotective. He’d never let me attempt my dangerous plan. So I just won’t tell him.

I’m a sheltered duke's son who’s barely been kissed. He’s a grumpy woodsman who’s determined to teach me
I’ll do anything to avoid marrying the man my parents have chosen for me. Even flee into the dangerous forest beyond the city limits. Soon I’m caught in a hunter’s trap and panicking, especially when a muscular, dark-eyed woodsman appears carrying a musket. Just when I’ve given up on life, he cuts me loose and carries me to his cottage to tend my wounds. And then he lets me stay. And stay.
The woodsman is grumpy and secretive, with weary sadness in his eyes. But he’s kind, too. When a blizzard descends, snowing us in together, I’m drawn to him. But what would a rugged outdoorsman want with a spoiled and inexperienced nobleman like me? I’ve never been in a man’s arms before. Yet I keep wondering what it would be like to kiss him. Especially when he calls me city boy. When he starts calling me good boy, I know I’m in trouble.
Winning the Woodsman is a low angst, feel-good MM fantasy romance novella set in a gaslamp fantasy world. With first times, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, a match-making dog, and cozy winter vibes.
