Do you know where you are, Inmate Luna?
The way he said my name sent hot shivers down my spine.
The feeling haunted me for ages.
Before Warden Jet shut the door to my cell, he said we’d already started my rehabilitation. My instincts registered this as a threat, and the uneasy sense of being trapped and in danger kept me up all night—or whatever they called “night” in this artificial environment.”

Kicking him out proves futile, so Emery powers on with the insane deadline, while Nox’s sinful whispers and annoying smirks distract her at every turn.

Book 3, Sinner Sisterhood
Expected Release:
28 April
A week ago, I was an exorcist with ironclad vows. Now...
I confess to Almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts… especially in thoughts involving my Roman collar, a certain red-headed Sinner’s wrists, and the desk in my church’s oratory.
I spent years in prison trying to starve the violence and hunger in my cursed blood. Instead, I found it purring when the sisterhood’s deadliest seductress entered my confessional and whispered her litany of filth.
I have lied to my superiors. I have sworn to dismantle this heretical organization, while secretly burning every bridge back to Rome to keep her safe.
I am the shepherd who was too busy counting freckles on her bare shoulder to hear the screaming of my flock.
Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault... I told Mercy I was not her prophesied, fated Saint. But when her sister dared to threaten her life…
I forgot that I am Father Francisco Angelotti, the former mafia enforcer, whose vows are a muzzle to keep the world safe from his teeth. I forgot that I should have been hunting the Third Horseman, Famine, and his demons in my flock’s garden.
And I forgot that I was the wolf who taught them how to eat.

Book 1, Threads of FateExpected Release:
1 April
My ambition will cost me my soul. Her defiance might cost me the throne.
I will stop at nothing to thwart the Unity prophecy and secure the Crimson Throne. It is my birthright, and I will burn the world down to claim it—even if it means kidnapping a fate-weaving witch with the power to reshape destiny.
Cressida.
She defies me at every turn. She refuses to weave the threads I demand, no matter the punishments I inflict. But where others would break, she burns brighter. Her unyielding resolve sparks an unsettling admiration I can’t afford, not when my kingdom teeters on the brink of ruin.
I am driven to darker, more desperate measures. But each time I compel her to wield her magic, a piece of her soul fractures. And as her reluctant obedience deepens, I find myself wanting to claim more than just her power.
I want to claim her.

A new and deadly threat rises from the darkness. The Shadowflame Crown is an ancient artifact of unimaginable power. It is the only thing that can heal Cressida's broken soul and secure Kael's unstable reign. But claiming the crown requires a sacrifice neither of them is prepared to make.
As enemies close in and dark magic threatens to consume them both, Kael must choose between the kingdom he bled for and the witch who stole his cold heart. Cressida must decide if she can truly trust the monster who broke her. Their twisted bond will either save their world or burn it to the ground.

Witch Isobella Rodriguez is dying. With chemotherapy and invasive surgery, she has a thirty-five percent chance of, maybe, another five years. Zero percent chance of having a family of her own. There is one thing that can save her—being turned into a werewolf. Only one pack has that ability. The Langeais wolves.

Twins Edmond and Aubert Montagne are formidable warriors on their own. Together they are terrifying. With a bond so strong, they have no need of words to communicate and are rarely seen apart. When they rescue a woman from the clutches of the witch hunter, their relationship is tested. Both of them want her, to claim her as their mate.
With a witch hunter gathering forces, they’ll need to band together to survive. They can let her choose between them, or they can do something never done before in the history of the Langeais wolves. Share a mate.

Detective Catherine Snowden is supposed to be on medical leave. Instead, she's lying in a hospital bed when a dying man's spirit reaches out to her with a desperate message: I was murdered.
Oliver Ashford-Kent's car went into the Thames, his brakes sabotaged by the uncle who's been embezzling millions from the family pharmaceutical company. Now Oliver's trapped in a coma, caught between life and death, and Catherine is the only one who can hear him.
But proving murder means finding evidence the killer thought was safely buried. As Catherine digs deeper, she discovers Oliver isn't Marcus Ashford-Kent's only victim. Bodies have been disappearing into the Thames for years—young professionals who knew too much, who asked the wrong questions, who threatened to expose the truth.
The river remembers everything. And when the dead start calling for justice, Catherine must risk everything to answer—even as Marcus closes in, determined to silence her before she can prove what he's done.
Some secrets are worth killing for. And in the drowning hour, the Thames claims everyone.

After discovering the truth about her father and her heritage, Darcy must travel to Faery land to finally learn how to control her strange magic. She can’t go if she’s bonded to Jones, but without help, she’ll die.
Once she gets to Faery, she must prove her worth by passing the Trials, a Fae right of passage that puts the participant’s life at risk. Failure means death – weaklings aren’t allowed in Faery. Especially when her father is the Midnight Prince.
Fin, a gorgeous Fae warrior, is assigned to train her. But he has his own agenda and Darcy isn't sure she can trust him.
If she survives the Trials she’ll get the magical help she desperately needs. But there’s a catch – passing the Trials means she’s got Fae blood, and the Faery Queen won't allow her to leave Faery land. The only option is to bring Jones to Faery instead.
It’s an impossible choice, making Darcy rethink her priorities. Does she have the right to ask him to give up everything for her? Or will she sacrifice her one chance of happiness and let him go, forever?

Expected Release:

Detective Bec Whitfield thought she'd found paradise in tropical Mission Beach—and maybe even love with charming local developer Jake Morrison. But when Cyclone Meredith threatens the coast, emergency preparations uncover a twenty-year-old secret buried in concrete.
The skeletal remains belong to Marcus “Moondog” Sullivan, a former Sydney property developer turned environmental activist who vanished in 2004 during heated battles over coastal development. Marcus had made powerful enemies on both sides of the conservation debate, and someone wanted him silenced permanently.
As Bec investigates, the case becomes uncomfortably personal. Jake's construction company was involved in the building where Marcus was found, and her new boyfriend grows increasingly evasive about his past. When Detective Todd Davenpot arrives from Brisbane with warnings about Jake's reputation, Bec finds herself caught between two men and a web of corruption that reaches far beyond Mission Beach.
With the cyclone bearing down and evacuation orders imminent, Bec must solve a murder that exposes decades of environmental crime and political corruption. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realises that Marcus Sullivan died because he threatened to expose secrets that powerful people will kill to protect.
In a race against time and the storm of the century, Bec will discover that some foundations are built on lies—and that choosing the wrong person to trust can be deadly.
Perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Candice Fox.

Life in Little Shaw is as nice as pie for librarian Ginny Cole. She’s got a tentative truce with her grumpy neighbour Detective Inspector Wallace, and Sunday quiz nights at The Lost Goat with her friends (team name: The Merry Widows). Until the young quizmaster is found dead in the cellar. The police call it an accident; Ginny suspects murder. But with Wallace strangely impossible to locate and convince, she and the other widows must step – carefully, mind – into the breach.
The victim, it turns out, wasn’t just torturing locals with impossible trivia. He was hunting for his great-aunt who vanished from Little Shaw in 1963, along with what village gossips insist was a fortune in Cold War secrets. Now Ginny and her friends must decode a sixty-year-old mystery involving priest holes, spy scandals, and the competing egos of the local history society.
But when the killer strikes again, the widows need to solve this fast before someone calls last orders on them…
A brilliantly twisty cozy mystery perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Robert Thorogood and anyone who thinks retirement should come with a side of solving murders.
