Feral Obsessions

(Once Upon A Darkness #1)

Inheriting a secluded cabin in the Blackwood Forest feels like a bittersweet blessing — My chance to finally escape and redefine who I am. Holt, Brody, and Jasper try to drive me away, but I am determined to break through their tough exteriors. They may intimidate others, but not me. I have spent far too long walking among demons to not recognize true evil. 

Sometimes, the most feral of hearts can offer the deepest love, and home is often found where you least expect it. The Wilder men are my home.

Twisting Grace

(Once Upon A Darkness #3)

I am suffocating in a world where wealth and appearances are everything. My so-called family only cares about my money. Every part of my life is controlled, from what I wear to how much I eat. I am their puppet, and this is their show. When everything finally comes crashing down, it’s Cyrus who cuts the strings that keep me tied to their strict expectations. With him and his family, I discover the truth and a love that defies my elitist upbringing. In this tangled web of darkness, I must find my true self and hold on to a love that I deserve.
