The Two Queens of Firixina
The Crown Comes First
The Icarians and the shape shifting Shadows of Firixina are two vastly different peoples sharing a single planet, each species raising their children to call the others monsters. But their queens have always broken their familial rules.
Shadows can slip between dimensions, and Ixi spent her childhood waiting for Shallon’s next visit. They were friends brought together by curiosity turned to lovers torn apart when one’s mother murdered the other’s.
Years have passed since a single act of violence separated them, and now that Ixi sits on the Icarian throne, a Shadow stalks her… watching and waiting. But she wears the scars that were required to earn her throne, and she knows that Shadows aren’t the nightmares her forebears claimed.
When the Shadow allows her to plunge her chambers beneath the sea—trapping them together—Ixi discovers that the lover she lost returned to her. But for how long
The Misses Clause
A Demon Daddy Santa
All Mariah has ever wanted was for Christmas to go back to the way it was when she was a kid, before demons took over the holiday. And if you can’t beat them… join them.
All it took to work her way into position as his right-hand woman, was a contract promising him her downfall and the surety that he’d jump at the idea of “marrying” the real Santa’s daughter off to one of his underlings.
She chose her demon carefully, but when Christmas Eve arrives and her cocoa tastes of mistletoe, there’s no chance it wasn’t poisoned.
While her fiance and her ho ho ho of a best friend celebrate her demise, Mariah only has one option left to get what she wants for Christmas.
The “Misses Clause” was a last resort. What she’s about to ask for is bound to put her on the naughty list… and Santa is bound to put her on her back.
My Lich for the Night
A Night to Die For
Two decades ago, the sky split open over a tiny town in middle America, and Creatures fell to Earth. Magic entered our world with a crack and a flash, and it hasn’t stopped since. The tiny town turned into a sprawling megalopolis of neon and steel almost overnight and the world was irrevocably changed.
Shaina Gilbert happens to like it that way. She likes the story book “monsters” made real, even more.
As a Lady of Laratia—a high end escort exclusively catering to non-human patrons—she specializes in the Creatures others are too scared to entertain. When a lich makes an offer, she’s delighted to make him hers for the night.
But not everyone likes their new neighbors, and an unsanctioned outing with her lich proves more dangerous than Shaina ever imagined.
