The Siren

Kahlen is a Siren. She is destined to serve the Ocean by drawing humans to the gravy waters with her voice; a voice that is fatal to any human who hears it.

Akinli on the other hand is human. Kindhearted and attractive, he is everything that Kahlen has ever dreamed of.

Falling in love could prove perilous to both of them, but Kahlen is dangerously attracted to him.

Will she put everything on the line and follow her heart?

This star-crossed Young Adult romance will assuredly enchant readers who grew up loving The Little Mermaid, or any fan of Jennifer Donnelly’s Waterfire Saga.

A Thousand Heartbeats

“Love has a sound. It sounds like a thousand heartbeats happening at the same time.”

Princess Annika has lived a life of comfort—but no amount of luxuries can change the fact that her life isn’t her own to control. The king, once her loving father, has gone cold, and Annika will soon be forced into a loveless marriage for political gain.

Miles away, small comforts are few and far between for Lennox. He has devoted his life to the Dahrainian army, hoping to one day help them reclaim the throne that was stolen from them. For Lennox, the idea of love is merely a distraction—nothing will stand in the way of fighting for his people.

But when love, against all odds, finds them both, they are bound by its call. They can’t possibly be together—but the irresistible thrum of a thousand heartbeats won’t let them stay apart.

But when happenings at the palace place her in the spotlight even more, princess Eadlyn comes to the realization of just how important it is to have someone by her side.

Eadlyn is doubtful that she will ever match the fairytale ending that her parents had two decades ago, but the heart is however full of surprises.
