The monsters already own my body…but do they want my heart…
Left to die in a monstrous land, I’m saved by the monster I least expect.
He hates me. But he loves what my body can do for him.
I shouldn’t want to keep him.
I shouldn’t want to keep all of them.
I’m just their plaything after all.

Released: 20 December in audio format
The Monster King wants to play…
It's been 1097 days and 14 hours since I've been locked in this place. And they've come to me every night.
The monsters in my dreams worship my body, and when I wake up I'm desperate for more. But they’re never there to finish me off.
Dr. Adams says I can leave the asylum if I start to take my meds, but I've always hated how they made me feel...and I'm not sure that I agree with them that I'm actually crazy.
Because dreams don’t make you crazy, right?
I've got to start living someday though...so I finally take the plunge and obey so I can get out.
My dreams stop, and the monsters disappear. I’m finally starting a new life. That's when he comes: the monster king.
Evidently my little dreams weren't just dreams. He and his demon horde were feeding off my lust. Their glowing eyes, sharp teeth, and big…they’re all real.
The Monster King wants me back. I’m their favorite plaything, after all. And I just might want to play.
Monster’s Temptation is book one in the deliciously monstrous Monster & Me duet.

What if that’s impossible?
There’s so much danger ahead of us, but I’ll bring Hell on earth to save the ones I love. I just wonder that when all’s said and done, who will be the one wearing the unholy crown?

Rush is a Fae Guardian, a wolf-shifter whose enhanced abilities have made him a ruthless protector of Elphyne. His job is to protect the realm from the human enemy, and to ensure the sins of the past never come to pass again lest magic die forever. But one night of weakness resulted in a curse worse than death – exile. Now he spends his lonely time longing to be part of the living, once again protecting them from monsters… until one mysteriously washes up on the shores of his lake.
Clarke is human. She's beautiful, feisty, and fierce. She's also the only person who can see him, speak to him, and touch him.
If he hands her over to the Order, she’s his ticket to having his curse removed. Unable to resist the opportunity, he tricks her into a bargain of obedience, never once suspecting his world is about to be turned upside down. The more he learns about this human enemy, the more he realizes she’s not the monster he’s been trained to believe. In fact, she’s capable of inciting passion he’d never dreamed possible again. But Clarke has a message from the past… sins are already repeating. This time, if they don’t stop the coming evil, it won’t just be magic that dies. It will be everything.

She wakes suddenly. Dawn is still hours away, but through the window of her log cabin in the woods, something moves in the distance. A lone figure in the forest. Her blood runs cold as the shadow begins to walk slowly toward her…
It’s Halloween in Black Rock Falls and Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane are called to a small lodge on the outskirts of town. Jenna is devastated to find the lifeless body of Willow Smith, a military widow whose husband went missing in action and has been presumed dead for years. Her breath catches in her throat when she notices the heart-shaped purple medal on Willow’s pale chest. Was Willow clinging to it when she died, or was it placed there after she took her last breath?
Desperately chasing down every lead, Jenna hears that Willow had been receiving silent phone calls in the dead of night. Witnesses say Willow thought her missing husband was trying to make contact. Wishful thinking of a lonely wife consumed with grief, or a heartless killer hoping to terrify her?
Days later, another woman’s body is found at the bottom of a perilous ravine. Jenna’s worst fear is confirmed the moment she spots a purple medal: a dangerous serial killer is preying on the wives of soldiers from the same platoon, and if she doesn’t act fast, more lives will be at risk.
The key lies in discovering what happened to the missing soldiers, and whether any of them made it back alive. But, separated from her team in a secluded forest, Jenna hears a branch snap behind her. She is not alone. Will she be the next victim of a twisted trained soldier on the loose? And how many more grieving widows will have their lives snatched before he’s caught?

LJ Swallow
Book 1, Thornwood Academy
Expected Release: 16 December 2023
I’m a witch-vampire hybrid with a fondness for necromancy.
Excuse me if I’m a little dead inside.
I tried to attend a human school, but they didn’t appreciate my behavior. Personally, I found biology class more interesting when the dissected animals fought back. The school didn’t.
My parents searched for somewhere new to send their deviant daughter, and doors open when your father is Dorian Blackwood. Then they close firmly behind once he dumps you inside an exclusive supernatural academy, along with instructions to become ‘a touch more amiable’.
Says the guy who spent his teen years tearing throats out. Luckily, I’ve inherited my father's sociopathic tendencies and my mother’s magical skills, a lethal yet useful combination when navigating academy life.
Thornwood Academy. Home to the elite who strive to excel—and now me, who strives to leave. Since the supernaturals revealed themselves to the world, the unluckiest human kids join the vampires, witches, and shifters at Thornwood. Hopefully, the humans aren’t dissected in this biology class.
I don’t care that nobody trusts me, but when the headmaster’s son is found unalived, fingers point at Dorian’s darkling daughter. Ridiculous. The human guy once attempted to bully me—I would’ve reanimated the asshole and demanded he perform tricks. Such a wasted opportunity.
If I want help clearing my name, I need to become ‘a touch more amiable’ to the three guys who seem oddly fascinated by me. Somebody doesn’t want the accords between humans and supes to last, and I’m not taking the blame just because I’m a Blackwood.

Bless me Father for I have sinned.
It has been one day since my last confession, and these are my sins:
I killed a man. To be fair, he was possessed by a demon.
I ignored help from the new all-male Team Saint. But those arrogant asswipes think they know everything about demonology, and I’m the badass bish who wrote the book. I mean, what could a scholar, a gunslinger, a priest, and a saint, possibly know about sin that five sanctioned Sinners of The Hildegard Sisterhood don’t? Our organization has been behind every great female leader since the dawn of God knows when. We might be nuns, but we assassinate, seduce, and hunt demons better than any man.
“Thea… you were giving your confession.”
Oh, right. Sorry, Father. I’m having lustful thoughts about one of Team Saint. He’s arrogant, funny, and knows exactly how to push my buttons. Although it pains me to admit, he knows a thing or two about summoning demons. Maybe that’s why I let him tag along on my mission to find the lost staff of the Arc Angel Raphael. Maybe that’s why I let him try and help me save my demon-possessed sister. Maybe that’s why I let him do sinful things to me in the dark when no one is watching.
Am I going to Hell?
And if so, can I get an ETA? Because maybe stopping the Anti-Christ will be easier if I get down there early.
Hunter Nuns is a dark, spicy romance series featuring five badass Sinners who are fated to save the world… but only if they can make peace with their dark sides first. If you like Buffy, Constantine, and Warrior Nun, this is for you. This series touches on taboo and dark topics, is not suitable for those sensitive about religion, or demons with souls, or priests ending up with nymphomaniac nuns. HEA guaranteed.

I never expected to discover that I was a witch—one being hunted by a demon. I’d taken down the demon but the price I paid was high—I lost both my best friend and the man I loved. Now all I want is to leave magic far behind . . .
Maggie Lachlan is the Techwitch. A computer whisperer, able to bring recalcitrant systems to their knees with a single keystroke.

They say magic has a price. In my experience they’re right. Sure, I’m a witch and I’ve even defeated a demon or two. But that doesn’t mean that I’ve got it all figured out. Or that trouble is done with me…
Maggie Lachlan has become a Techwitch in all senses of the world. Once she was just a super geek, taming wild programs with ease, now magic has become part of her repertoire. She never wanted to inherit her mother’s talents—for magic or trouble—but she has no choice but to come to grips with her powers and try to find her happy place.
But the past doesn’t want to rest easy, and demons aren’t the only problem in town. Her lover, Damon Riley, is launching a new high stakes virtual reality gaming contest and there are those who’d love to see him fail. Supporting him means facing her fears and diving back in the virtual worlds that first led a demon to her doorstep.
With gamers and witches converging on San Francisco for the launch, things are getting strange. And Maggie’s past isn’t done with her yet. So when darkness, power, and technology collide, magic might be the only thing that gets her through the night…
Wings of Ruby and Flame
LJ Swallow
Book 1, Her Dragons Reborn
has a new title and cover.
Four dragon shifter princes pursue me in a competition to see who can catch me first.
If they think I'm an easy target, they're wrong. I'm an assassin who's looking for them.
I'm also a noble daughter of the Aureate Court, but I prefer my secret life in a world of mercenaries and thieves. As a child, I never questioned why my mother allowed this and I happily lived away from court. As an adult, I’ve found myself in a delicate situation with a seductive dragon prince and discovered the truth.
My family hid me from the lethal dragon elders because I contain the essence of their Ebon Queen.
The Ebon dragons once destroyed the other flights and unleashed horrors on the human and elven realms. Now that the Ebon Queen and her flight are eradicated, anybody containing Ebon essence could face death.
Somebody needs to explain how and why I do because I'm no longer hidden, and four dangerous and smouldering hot dragon princes are hunting me.
Cam, the Sapphire Prince who claims he'll keep me safe, Eli the seductive Ivory prince, and Luc the more diplomatic of the four. Velanor, the ambitious Ruby Prince, would happily see me die because I embody the flight that killed his people.
The elders have promised not to harm me but can I believe them?
Whoever returns me to the elders first earns prestige, and Velanor intends to win their competition by any means necessary. Unfortunately for him, his victory comes at a cost and creates a situation neither of us want.
Can the other princes protect me? Because If I truly do contain the soul of the Ebon Queen, and I unleash her magic to defend myself from Velanor and the elders, I'm unsure who's in the most danger.
Them or me.

Wicked Games
M.J. Scott
Book 1, Techwitch
is currently free!
My mother was a wicked witch. And all her spells ever brought was trouble. Since her death, with no power of my own, I’ve stayed far, far away from magic . . .
In a San Francisco struggling to recover from earthquakes and rising seas, and where technology can do things that are close enough to magic anyway, Maggie Lachlan is a computer whisperer. The one they call when no one else can find the elusive bug bringing a complex system to its knees. They call her the Techwitch. But she knows there’s nothing magical about what she does. It’s just hard-earned skill.
So when Damon Riley, owner of the world’s biggest virtual reality gaming company comes calling with a problem that his entire empire of geeks can’t fix, Maggie leaps at the job. Riley Arts is the kind of place she feels at home. Wall-to-wall tech. No magic. Except, perhaps, for the unsettling chemistry she has with the man in charge.
But she never imagined stepping into one of Damon’s games would reveal her mother lied about Maggie’s magic. Or that technology could break a spell she never knew she was under. Now she has a demon hunting her and a whole world she knows nothing about to navigate. To save herself—and the world—she needs to learn fast.
Because, when it comes to magic, too many games are wicked. And if you lose, the price can be very, very high . . .

Mixing business with pleasure never felt so right.
Blake Buchanan and Ana Delaney lived in a share house at university and could never see eye to eye about anything. Except for one night of passion before Ana left without a word, never expecting to cross paths with Blake again.
Years later, Blake has made his millions. He comes to Noosa to manage a corporate takeover that will close down the home flipping business Ana has poured her heart and soul into. The fiery Ana is determined to convince money-minded Blake of her business’s worth, but when a family emergency throws them together, their walls come tumbling down once again…
Problem is, Blake’s business-first position hasn’t changed. And Ana can’t fall for the man who could become her boss—it’s not only her job at stake, but her heart.

is currently .99c on Amazon US
There’s a murder in the library, a killer knight stalking victims and a nosy librarian turned sleuth. Let the mayhem begin…

Xandie Myers is suspect number one and she has no clue who’s targeting her. Sherlock librarian needs to swing into action and sniff the real killer out before she becomes the next victim—or ends up in jail for murders she didn’t commit.
Can Xandie survive long enough to navigate her freaky new world? Or will things that go bump in the night have her for a midnight snack?
