For now.
Read the author’s letter to readers HERE.
The Faery & the Jewel Thief
The year is 1895. Olive and her small, tight-knit band of faeries are living on an island in one of the great lakes that wrap around the state of Michigan.
They weren’t supposed to be here. But fate had altered their paths, and they’ve managed to carve out new lives in the human world, as jewelry makers. It truly wasn’t that difficult considering they had magic at their disposal.
All they needed to do was ensure none of the local humans did not become aware of their heritage. If the humans knew what Olive and her family really were, they’d be lynched before the next sun rose above the edge of the chilly water.
Life was lonely at times, but, in general, peaceful.
Until he showed up on the island. Joseph. Along with his entourage of thieving humans and…
A halfling child.
That wasn’t going to work. That child needed a faery to help guide him, protect him. Olive determined she was that faery.
What she hadn’t counted on was Joseph. Specifically, her attraction to the handsome human.
The Faery & the Runaway Heiress
The year is 1896 and Ezra, an exiled faery living in the human world, has left his generally peaceful existence on Mackinac Island, Michigan, USA. He’s searching for… something.
Something he can’t identify.
Until Virginia Schoolcraft stumbles into his life.
The beautiful human woman is running from danger, and while she isn’t inclined to tell him specifically what sort of danger, Ezra decides to help her. It’s a far better use of his time than the aimless wandering he’s been doing for the past six months.
To protect her, he takes her back to his family of faeries on the island. Where he learns that she is a virgin… who wants him to teach her the ways of the world.
His pleasure, truly.
Until he learns that she can see his wings.
Which isn’t supposed to happen. Humans aren’t supposed to be able to see through their glamour, and they certainly can’t know the fae exist.
The consequences would be dire.
The Faery & the Lady’s Maid
The year is 1896, nearing the autumnal equinox, and Mason, the faery queen’s ex-consort, has been hiding out in the human world for these past five months.
Despite the requirement to hide his true self—namely his wings and pointed ears and the fact that he possesses the ability to harness magic—he has never felt so free.
And so frustrated.
Because he is currently sharing a home with, as the humans say, the one who got away.
And she wants nothing at all to do with him.
Just as he is finally cracking the walls she has built around her heart, the queen discovers his whereabouts.
Now Mason must decide whether to return to the land of the Seelie, thus saving his sister and her found family of exiled fae, or start a war with the queen.
The choice is taken out of his hands when the queen kidnaps Samantha—his one true love.
Looks like he’s starting a war.
There’s another book on the way!!
But first, it’s time to read the bonus scene, The Faery & the Secret, right HERE.
The Faery & the Halfling
It is the winter of 1897 and the new queen of the Seelie has declared that the forgotten halflings residing in the human world should learn about their heritage, possibly even visit their homeland.
Chauncy, a full-blooded faery who has never crossed through the veil to the human world has been assigned the task of seeking out these halflings. But first, he is required to spend a season on Mackinac Island, Michigan, USA, living with a group of previously exiled fae who have resided there for nearly a decade, so they can teach him how to interact with humans.
Just as he is ready to start his assignment, he comes across his first halfling. A gorgeous, spirited woman who has been fumbling through life thinking she was a freak, when, in reality, she is a powerful, magical faery.
Sparks fly as Chauncy helps Adeline discover this about herself.
But there’s a problem.
The humans who raised her don’t want to let her go. She’s too valuable. And they are willing to go to great lengths to keep her under their thumb.
Including expose her for what she is.
Which could get her hanged.
And will expose the rest of the faeries living on the island.
Which could get them all hanged.
The Faery & the Discovery ~ final book in the series coming soon!
