Willing Captive
Book Two of the White Ice Series, Willing Captive picks up where Awakened left off.
Marin Greinger has resolved to take Kieron’s deal—his promise to leave her only living family, Aislinn, alone in exchange for her going with him. It is a deal she fears will ultimately end with her mind, body, and soul violented and being nothing but a bloodless husk of what she used to be, and that is if she is lucky. What she terrifies the most is being forced to become like him—what she loathes, the things that killed her parents, and turned her world into something out of nightmares. She will never become a Duinova Vile. She will choose death, but first, she will fight.
Her hope that Cedric will come for her, destroy his brother and take her away from the prison Kieron has placed her, keeps her going in the beginning. But with each passing day while Kieron’s craving for her becomes more aggressive, more present, the connection she felt between her and Cedric fades. It is almost gone.
Has he severed all ties to her? Is he dead?
With Kieron always lurking and threatening her safety, she knows it is only a matter of time before he snaps and takes everything he desires. She knows it is true like she knows Cedric has abandoned her, and she is alone.
While Marin eludes Kieron’s grips and seductive charm, focuses on growing and honing her Glace Blanche talents, she is oblivious to the journey her cousin has been thrust into by no choice of her own. Locked away in a network of underground caves, Aislinn is held by Kieron’s estranged partners and the ex-Strygoilan elder, Baskovio. Like her cousin, Aislinn espouses her newly discovered heritage, embraces a strength she never knew she possessed, and learns what destiny has in store for a seemingly fragile human.
The human race has just gained a new warrior, but will she be in time to save Marin?
The first four books within the White Ice Series are NOT standalone novels. Although they could be enjoyed individually, the reading experience is better if read in succession.
Wicked Intentions
Marin’s dreams are within her grasp, but her happily ever after may never come.
Grigori Baskovio’s ultimate goal to destroy the Strygolian Elders is working out better than he had hoped, as long as Kael Ireside completes his mission.
But Kael’s mission is jeopardized by the tyrant, mountain-dwelling king in control of the Glace Blanche people. Kael finds a potential army but also a woman he will never be able to leave behind. Despite believing it impossible, love blossoms within the cold, stone walls of his heart, but loving her could destroy the mission and end his life.
Marin, Aislinn, and the others work tirelessly at home-base to raise an army of humans willing to risk their lives and support the cause. But all is not easy between Marin and the newly reunited brothers. Daily, she fights the twisted draw she feels for Kieron and struggles to hold onto her love for Cedric before their chance of happiness is destroyed forever. Marin feels threats coming from all directions–looming war, deadly visions, Kieron, and now a dark-haired beauty who arrived with a new wave of human recruits. And she has her eyes set on Cedric.
Marin and Aislinn may not be the only humans with hidden talents. But, with time, patience, the constant threat of discovery, and a sense of purpose eroding with each passing day, something is going to give.Wicked Intentions is a conundrum of loose ends and undecided fates. With everything hanging in the balance, to whose favor will the prophecy tip?
Wicked Intentions is the third romantic fantasy of the White Ice Series. The novels are not standalone stories. The series concludes with book four, Bitter Redemption.
Bitter Redemption
King Baird sees a vision of his past, present, and future and he is determined to have a queen worthy of ruling by his side, even if he has to side with the enemy and defy the prophecy.
Marin begins to question her happily-ever-after with Cedric, fearing it is nothing more than a tease of what might have been. She begins to accept love was never meant for her if her purpose was to save the human race, but she is determined to make what time they have left worthwhile.
When the enemy Stryx infiltrate the caves with the intention of capturing Marin–the weapon they fear as the seers have claimed, it becomes clear that without an alliance with the White Ice People dwelling within Mt. Glace, there will be no future for the human race. All will be lost and there will be nothing Marin can do to change it.
Their final hope rests on Aislinn’s shoulders as she tries to finish the job that Kael set out to do: forge an alliance with a powerful and dangerous king whose motives they may not understand. For she will soon discover a horrible truth no one could have believed…
Will Baskovio’s plan for creating the ultimate weapon in Marin, be enough to destroy the Strygolians without an alliance, or will all be lost and humans wiped from existence altogether?
Bitter Redemption is the final chapter of the White Ice Series, bringing the story of Marin, Cedric, and their allies to its stirring conclusion in a blend of intense action and affecting romance.
Celestial Fae Series: Fantasy Romance
She’s a single mom and kindergarten teacher, hunted by demons and claimed by a Seelie King …
Celeste Abgamon knows tragedy. Left without parents and a gaping hole in her soul, her son Thomas is the bright light of her life.
A dark exchange…
But when Thomas’s father shows up in a violent rage threatening to take their son, she runs—and collides with a handsome stranger—heavy on mystery and extra handsome. Celeste must do whatever it takes to keep her child—even if means sacrificing more than her freedom.
It isn’t until magic seals the promise of protection that Celeste knows her mistake, she must enter the court of the Seelie King and remain there or forfeit her life.
Indebted to a king…
Gabriel is used to having the world at his fingertips. Betrothed since birth, Celeste was his and they were in love. But a prophetic claim from the Demon Realm and their parents’ betrayal threatened everything. She was destined to be his wife and queen and he intended to keep it that way—even at the risk of going against Celeste’s will, stripping her memories and power, and killing those who stood in his way.
A plan kissed by karma…
The hasty plan built with deceit, greed, and murder crumbles, and Gabriel is left with nothing but a crown on his head and without the future he planned. By law and her son, Celeste can never be his queen, and she will refuse to be his mistress.
With the Demon Lord still after her, Celeste is at risk if she doesn’t know her past. But if he gives her memories back, she will hate him for an eternity, and that is only if he can keep her out of the Demon Lord’s hands.
Will King Gabriel be able to repair the damage and earn Celeste’s trust, or will the Demon Lord fulfill his prophecy?
A week ago, Celeste was a simple human, a teacher, and a single mom. She was content with the way things were, but a Saturday morning outing to a farmer’s market, like she and Thomas did each weekend, turned her world upside down.
With her and her son’s safety threatened by Thomas’s estranged father, she decided to accept help from a handsome stranger offering her sanctuary and protection for her son. The offer was not without consequences, and quickly everything she believed about herself and the world she lived in changed the second the man took them through a portal.
Learning she was not a boring human was the least of her worries. Discovering that two realms had staked their claims on her and her son because of a prophecy was a reality she struggled to accept. Worse was the fact that the attractive man was the Seelie King of Otherworld, and once upon a time, they had been betrothed. She was supposed to have been Gabriel’s queen.
With no memories of her previous life, she was left to her own devices hidden among humans and it was only a matter of time before she was found. Gabriel crafted a reckless plan to protect her. It should have worked; the spell forever marking her as his should have prevented another man from pursuing her. With no memories for the spell to take root in, it failed, and Celeste sought companionship in a lifelong friend and her only confidant after the brutal murder of her mother and her father’s death on the same day.
Soiled, and being the mother of another man’s child left her unworthy of the crown.
Drawn to Gabriel like a fly to honey, Celeste thinks she might be able to accept her new life. Especially when touching him fills in all of her missing pieces, and for the first time that she can remember, she feels whole.
But can she live sharing him with another woman?
The Seelie Court and council will demand he marry to put a queen on the throne by his side, and Celeste will never be a mistress.
Mere days ago, Celeste had vowed never to let her body touch the Seelie King Gabriel’s again, never to let him kiss her lips, and only to see him as her enemy. But, unfortunately, she wasn’t great at keeping her vows these days when every cell of her body betrayed the things she set her mind to accomplish. Staying away from Gabriel was just another one of those things.
Why can’t I resist him?
But when being close to him fills up all of her emptiness, overflows her heart with love and desire, she can’t help but wonder if she is a fool to cling to discovering the truth about her parent’s death.
What if Gabriel did murder them?
Celeste must know the truth, even if she discovers the worst.
Quickly her troubles compound when Thomas goes missing. Determined to retrieve her son, her quest puts her directly in the hands of the men claiming her and the men who have betrayed her.
Will her choices and past come back to haunt her?
A Seelie King should not fear anything, but Gabriel is terrified that Celeste will never accept that the things he did were to protect her and give her son the advantages he deserved as a newly named Fae Prince. Everything he has done was to keep her safe, and all of his efforts now are in vain, only succeeding in driving a wedge deeper between them.
There has to be a way into Celeste’s heart, something that will help her forget about the things she doesn’t remember, and Gabriel decides to honor her son. Despite the pain of knowing the child should have been his, he is determined to provide Thomas everything he is deserved had he been born the true son of the Seelie King and Queen.
But, like all of Gabriel’s intentions, this too backfires and not only pushes Celeste away further but also leaves him fighting for his life while Thomas has gone missing. He knows Celeste will not take caution to save her son.
How can Celeste ever love him again when he has failed her and now her son?
Finally, she chose to believe in love, but it might be all too late.Unexpected fate has dumped Celeste Abgamon’s life upside down. But, for a single mom, taking the Seelie King Gabriel’s offer of help was her only option when her ex and the father of her son showed up Saturday morning in the farmer’s market.
Little did she know she was about to learn the reasons for the emptiness within her that only her son could fill, and King Gabriel was responsible. He promised it was to protect her, but with her memories incomplete, she did not know if she could trust him—whether they were once betrothed or not, especially if he was responsible for her parents’ deaths.
King Gabriel had moved on, accepted the callouses on his heart were forever, if it was the only way to keep the only woman he ever loved safe. Then she needed him—though she didn’t know it. He had never let her down, at least not on purpose, so when a second chance at rekindling the love she could no longer remember presented itself, he had to try.
He had been through Hell once figuratively, but now literally proving he would do anything for Celeste even if it cost him everything, without her he had already lost it all.
The biggest challenge awaits, and the fight for her son, Gabriel, and her life is just beginning.
Alone and separated from anyone capable of helping her, Celeste is on her own, and she is in the hands of the Demon Lord. Yet, somehow she has to find her way out, whether by cunning wit or a fierce fight, because Thomas needs her, and she needs both him and Gabriel. She is ready for everything that should have been hers and the kind of love she could only dream about; all she has to do is survive.
Eternally Mine is the fourth and final arc in King Gabriel and Celeste’s happily ever after.
Loud Silence is a paranormal fantasy that follows Zarah and Liam through a twisted reality of their present while digging up their connected past. This story takes place in a broken world after the errors of man ruined it forever.
Liam heard the bastard take a deep inhale and the sight of him smelling Zarah’s hair ignited a fury within him. It was Baer who had marked her, branded her soft flesh with a red-hot iron, and had tried to claim her.
What did he do to her?
His rage was growing. Zarah was his, she always had been his and this monster was not going to take her from him. Sizzling heat like fire consumed him from the inside out. He could no longer feel the pain throbbing in his torn up knee or the aches in his rib cage. Air pumped freely into his lungs and his blood filled with oxygen fueling the burn within his veins. All he could feel was a searing heat from the tips of his toes and fingers to his head, but it wasn’t painful it was empowering. It was a dangerous, wicked taste of completeness sating a craving and squashing his fear. A surge of strength flooded him. Something within his body, maybe his soul fractured, released something he had always known was there. Somewhere in the fringes of his lucid mind he could hear a voice telling him it must be adrenalin. But he knew it wasn’t. Baer had awaked a beast within him, the sight of Baer’s hands on Zarah released the shackles, taming the demon lurking in his DNA. One that had been resting for many years, lying dormant and peaceful. Slowly Liam turned around with a smile as wicked as the devil himself.
