This beauty didn’t ask for a beastly bookworm for Christmas, but maybe she should have . . .
All Noelle wants is to save the Winter Bliss library. She has a plan, too—a New Year’s Eve fundraiser during the annual fire-magic festival. The last thing she needs is a distracting romance with the sexy, binge-reading demon she hasn’t seen in over a decade. Too bad fate (and Mount Winter Bliss) has other plans.
Rom only returned to his small hometown to open Perkatory, his family's newest coffee shop. Seeing Noelle again is a welcome surprise, but there’s no way the pretty librarian could ever fall for a scarred-up monster like him, right?
When an avalanche leaves Noelle and Rom snowed in together, the forced proximity might be their second chance at first love. But will their happily ever after come at the expense of saving Noelle’s beloved library?
Beastly & Bookish is a cozy, contemporary, holiday romance featuring a roller skating librarian and book-loving demon's emotional journey from friends to lovers.
Horned up for the Holidays is a series of three steamy, same-world, stand-alone novellas. Download today and escape to Winter Bliss.

Homesteading on the remote farm planet Risda III can be lonely. So when I notice that my neighbor isn't doing so well, I ask for help to give her a Christmas celebration to brighten her spirits.
Unfortunately, the person helping me is Sinath, the most infuriating male alien ever. He's got a weird sense of humor. He doesn't know what a Christmas tree is. He even tried to exterminate my pet rodent.
And he keeps staring at my mouth and yet refuses to kiss me. The nerve.
But Sinath is easy to be around, corny jokes and all. He knows just what my friend is going through. And he’s a surprisingly good snuggler.
This is either going to be a complete disaster...or the merriest holiday ever.

Merry A Naughtily Funny Demon Novella for Christmas.
He stole more than her panties… he stole her heart.
All witch Morgana wanted for Christmas was peace, hot beverage, and maybe a little bit of love after years of loneliness. What she didn’t ask for was a mysterious demon breaking into her house and stealing her lingerie.
After months of missing lace and vanished silk, Morgana finally catches the culprit red-handed (or rather… purple-horned). Ready to hex him into oblivion, she soon realizes this isn’t an ordinary demon. He’s charming, wickedly handsome, and claims he’s been “sent by Santa” to fulfill her one unspoken Christmas wish.
As the night turns from fury to fire, Morgana finds herself tangled in something far more dangerous than dark magic, it's a deep desire to be loved the way she needed to be loved. Because this thief of hearts and panties might just be the gift she never knew she needed.
A spicy Christmas paranormal demon romance novella full of banter, magic, jokes and unexpected love under the mistletoe.

Is a holiday vacation in a mountain cabin too much to ask for? A moose apparently thought so, right before it rammed my car off the road.

He claims he won’t harm me, but his actions suggest otherwise. When I escape into a snowstorm, he somehow finds me, only adding more questions to the many my interactions with him result in.
Then he shows me his fangs.
My saviour is a vampire, and one who’s refusing to let me go.
Turns out…I don’t really want him to either.

A man spending the holidays alone…
After my grandpa’s death, I’m back in my hometown for one last Christmas in the house I grew up in. But when mom cancels her flight to join me in saying goodbye, I’m left lonelier than ever—until a mothman saves me from a deadly decorating disaster.
As if learning monsters are real isn’t enough, he also claims I’m his mate. In his arms, I find the warmth and care I’ve always craved. But with only a few weeks in Moonvale before I have to go home, how can I avoid ending up even more heartbroken and alone when the holiday ends?
A mothman trusting his instincts…
Like a moth to a flame, a house covered in bright holiday lights pulls me away from my usual path on my late-night walk home. After saving the distressed human who lives there from falling to his death, I realize something stronger drew me there. Something magical. A mate bond.

A month in snow-covered New York.
How to spend magical Christmas time with your bestie without falling in love?
Marinos. Tentacled, dominant, secretly in love with his best friend.
How do I come out as pan to my gay best friend without telling him about my crush on him?
That’s right, my bestie from art college in Germany, the reason for my awakening, is going to stay with me for Christmas. No matter how tempted I am, I can’t crawl into his bed. Our friendship will suffer if he finds out that I know about his secret submissive side and I’ve been obsessed with learning how I could fulfill that for him. In my quest to become his dream dominant, I found out I have more in common with my kinky krampus friend than I ever thought. How would he react if he learned about that side of me? Worse yet, what will he think of me when he sees my failed career as a painter?
Kert. Horned and horny, burning for his tentacled bestie.
Five years of making eyes at my tentacled Greek God of a roommate, then three more of us keeping in touch long-distance. Now, I’m about to visit him, spend my favorite holiday in magical New York City, and find the inspiration I desperately need to continue sculpting.

Would he be shocked to learn about my submissive side? I can’t risk tainting our friendship.
But most of all, Marin can’t know that I’ve become famous while he didn’t didn’t find success. He’d resent me.

Learning to ski is hard enough without a Yeti making you weak in the knees.
Daphne thought she finally found her family with her wealthy fiancé. So much so that the fact that he’s her professor seems like an unimportant detail.

She only meant to dodge her ex…
Not kiss a grumpy, gorgeous wolf shifter under the mistletoe.
After losing her big-city job, Holly is home for the holidays at the family Christmas tree farm run by her retired military dad, juggling holiday customers, financial trouble, and a newly adopted hairless rescue dog. The last thing she needs is attraction—especially to Jace, the brooding wounded warrior wolf shifter recovering on the ranch.
Jace can fix the guesthouse furnace, but not the mess his life has become. He’s physically and emotionally wounded, unemployed, and barely keeping his wolf side under control. Getting close to Holly is the one thing he shouldn’t do… especially after their accidental, very public kiss.
But with Holly’s dangerous ex stalking her, and the ranch in deep trouble, Jace realizes he’ll fight anyone—and anything—to protect her. Even if it means facing up to his fears, or her terrifying bear-shifter dad.
Wounded Christmas Wolf is a spicy, feel-good standalone featuring a protective wolf shifter vet, a resilient heroine, cute pets, family chaos, and a snow-covered Christmas tree farm full of heart, heat, and holiday magic.

“I am far from a bug. Monster, sure... but no, little human, I am not a mothman.”
Delaney Hart is barely holding her life together. She’s drowning in debt, haunted by grief, and clinging to her grandfather’s failing Christmas tree farm—the last piece of family she has left. The holidays are supposed to be magical, but for Delaney, they feel like a countdown to losing her home.
Then something crashes onto her land.

Without his damper mask, his pheromones fixate on the one person he believes he shouldn’t want—soft, stubborn Delaney.
Snow traps them together. His presence heats her blood. What starts as fear turns into an attraction neither of them is prepared for. But Maelic’s body isn’t just reacting—it’s bonding. Once an Artaisan male marks his mate with Luminance, there is no going back.
As Christmas draws closer, they must decide if this connection is just a temporary heat... or something powerful enough to cross the stars for.

I’ll admit I had no business crying over my dumpster fire life while driving through a narrow pass in the Canadian Great Claw Mountains. But in my defense, that snow drift came out of nowhere.
One moment, I was losing consciousness, pretty sure I was going to die. The next, I woke up inside a luxurious cave home, lying on top of a cozy den nest—surrounded by three insanely hot bears: a sweet one who smells like a cinnamon roll, a clever one with wicked eyes, and a glaring one with a serious case of resting thundercloud face.
They all want me to mate with them. Now. And stay with them through Christmas and beyond.
Maybe I really did die in that car accident.
This can’t be real… can it? I left everything behind for a fresh start in Vancouver after a breakup that nearly broke me. So why does staying with three bears I just met feel like a dream possibility?
What would you do? Asking for a friend.
Escape to Bear Mountain this holiday season!
Warning: This beary spicy novella includes a cozy mountain town where males mate in threes, a luxurious cave den built just for you, and enough heat to melt the snow. Forget packing clothes—you’ll only need mistletoe.

“His body screamed at him to go to her. To claim her. To make her his.”
Charlie Williams thought getting pregnant by a conman was the worst thing that could happen to her. Turns out getting pregnant by a conman and then abducted and sold across the stars is worse.

But close quarters make distance impossible.
Katan keeps things professional. Charlie keeps her head down. The space between them keeps shrinking anyway, especially when the stoic captain starts showing up just to bring her pillows.
This isn’t just proximity.

Centuries ago, the gods of earth and sea went to war and ravaged the worlds of humans. Now, the oceans have swelled and humans have made their homes on floating cities, using precious enchanted sea glass as the key to their survival.

Something is coming, and it threatens the existence of all.
When the moon rises, the seas will change, and nothing will ever be the same.

It should have been a simple supply run: take the med kits and don’t get eaten by the monsters. Now I’m the one being taken, and the winged hunk plans to eat me. Out.
Having survived three apocalypses - as if one weren’t enough! – I knew how to stay alive in a world overrun by nightmarish monsters. Going on a supply run to my infested workplace should have been simple: go in, bag the meds, get out as fast as a cat from a bathtub.
Little did I know that what awaited me in that creepy building would be more than a gun-wielding scientist could handle. As in, an overbearing hunk sporting blue skin, bat wings, and a naughty tail, who would fly me off to an unknown destination despite my opinion on the matter. The jerk thought a toe-curling kiss would make it all better. The. Nerve.
Now I’m in a place beyond my wildest imagination, and going back to my community of survivors might prove more difficult than expected. Especially when I’m being seduced into staying.
Amid the Clouds is a post-apocalyptic fantasy romance about a tough scientist with fear of commitment and a charming monster on a mission to get in her pants… and heart. Let yourself be whisked away to a world of magic and experience steamy moments, some jump scares, and quite a few laughs on the way to the guaranteed HEA. This is the first book in the Brave New World series but can be read as a standalone. For mature readers only.
A runaway slave. A woman with the power to summon storms. An assassin itching for adventure.
And a mystery that could leave them all dead.
Benjamin has been a slave his whole life, whipped for every mistake and misstep. Desperate to escape, he risks stowing away aboard a smuggler’s ship, but a violent storm leads to his discovery.
Dragged onto deck in the tempest, Benjamin believes he is about to be executed. Instead, he witnesses a woman summoning lightning, tearing open the fabric of the world.
Benjamin suddenly finds himself on an unfamiliar world, in the company of a crew with inexplicable powers.
But before the Captain can decide his fate, disturbing rumours reach her from an isolated village deep in the forest. People have been going missing, but no one is willing to risk the deadly forest road to investigate. No one except the crew, that is.
Offered a chance to prove his worth, Benjamin must learn how to fight, or die.
Dive into the adventure now!
With the misfit crew of Six of Crows and the fantastical creatures and fight scenes of The Witcher, this new sword and sorcery adventure is perfect for fans of Naomi Novik and Brandon Sanderson.

Destiny
Bad news. Earth is completely uninhabitable. Tsunamis came, the water rose, and humans almost went extinct.
Good news. A bunch of us were saved by a super advanced alien race called the Originem, who say they can help rehabilitate our planet.
Worse news. Now we’re grounded (or would it be ungrounded?) from our home planet for 500 years while it recovers.
Here’s the best news, though. My father and I were chosen to live on Sanctuary Station, a diverse, utopian space ship where all our needs are met, our neighbors are aliens, and adventure awaits around every corner!
I’m always ready for the next adventure, but when I capture the attention of one of my new neighbors: a ruggedly handsome (you know, if fur and horns are your thing), surprisingly sensitive seven-foot-tall alien, I have to ask myself, am I that adventurous?
Sanctuary Station is the first book in a series of cozy, spicy alien romance novels.

Trixie’s dream has come true: she has been identified as the fated mate of a Gaenthian. He’s handsome, buff, winged, and horned. It’s just what she’s been fantasizing about ever since his warrior race came to Earth’s assistance two years ago. The trip to her new home on a space station can’t end soon enough; she’s more than ready to meet her alien husband.

Vrixiel can’t wait to hold his Goddess-chosen female in his arms. The petite Terran with hair as pink as his home planet’s sky is all he could wish for, judging by the holographic file he has on Lady Trixie. He has no doubt she will be impressed with his many medals and the home he has furnished for her. However, will that be enough when his hard-kept secret comes to light? Or will she put an end to their marriage before it has even begun?

Nel Koplin wanted a quiet Valentine’s Day: candy, TV, and a nap.
She did not plan on being accidentally abducted by aliens.
Now she’s stuck on a spaceship with a stoic alien captain, a glowing emotional-support blob, and no clear way home—at least not right away. Especially not after she’s unexpectedly introduced as Earth’s… representative.
As interstellar politics unfold and Earth’s future quietly hangs in the balance, the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to tell if this was a mistake… or the best detour she’s ever taken.
So if home is warm, quiet, and expectation-free—what happens when she starts finding that in space instead?

Exiled to Earth. Expected to die. I crashed into her life—now I'll do anything to win her.
Ilia is a space-faring clone, engineered to lead, built to serve. He fought for the chance to enter the prestigious Olorian Mating Games, only to be exiled for a crime he didn’t commit. Now, stranded on an uncharted world, he and his crew confront an infuriated human female with fire in her eyes… and no warriors of her own to protect her.
Just what I needed
Ellen’s barely keeping her family farm afloat, clinging to dreams of what it could be. What she doesn’t need is a spaceship crashing onto her land, or the massive scaled alien who steps out of the wreckage. Now the barn she wanted to convert to a bed and breakfast is shattered all over the lawn, and this huge scaly dude is to blame.
Him, the hulking, petrol blue-scaled alien warrior now stubbornly fixing everything he wrecked. The… attractive, color changing alien. Who builds her up as easily as he fixes her barn.
But time is running out
Everything in Ilia wants the beautiful, independent female. All he has to do to please her is rebuild what he destroyed and guard her land and her dreams as fiercely as if they were his own.
But Ellen isn’t looking for a mate, and if she was, why would she ever choose a lowly clone?
Ilia will have to prove he’s worthy of more…
A sizzling sci-fi romance dripping with slow-burn tension that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon and Honey Phillips (for fast paced plot) and Emma Hamm vibes (angsty slow burn with lots of tension and adventure). Fall in love with protective aliens, forced proximity and fierce boss babes who refuse to back down.
TW: Strict culture, mention of death and execution, fantasy peril, on page sex. No cheating.
Readers rate Exiles on Earth 5 stars
"I totally blazed through this novel! Not only is the romance absolutely spot on and the characters so endearing and engaging, but the worldbuilding is thought-provokingly perfect.”
"If you want the opposite of a dark romance hero, then you need to read this book! It is fun, sweet, funny, and cute with great characters and character development. That hero is so sugary sweet!”
"I honestly don’t know what I’m going to read in the interim. This one is leaving me with a major book hangover.”
Proclamation and promise to readers
I want to state for the record that I don't use generative AI AT ALL; I use Google docs to draft, ProWritingAid to help catch Echoes and Repeats (not any of the AI stuff that they're peddling, so whilst I have a lifetime licence with PWA, I do not use their AI tools and will move away once a cost effective non-AI alternative is available), human beta readers, a human editor Dana's Edits, a human proofreaders, a software called Vellum (NOT Vellum AI, completely different) to format the ebooks and paperbacks, and my covers for this series come from Miblart. I want humans to create and enjoy art; I wouldn't expect you to enjoy anything I couldn't be bothered to write myself, and I enjoy stretching my skills as an author. Whatever your stance on AI is, I respect that: we're all different. This is my personal proclamation and promise to my readers.

Hope
Some people think I should be grateful to the Originem for saving all the humans when Earth went post-apocalyptic. My sister is all-in when it comes to Sanctuary Station, the space station we were invited to live on, along with a bunch of other aliens. I'm a little more pessimistic.
Sure, Sanctuary Station is a futuristic space station filled with biomes of every ecosystem you could dream of. Sure, all your basic necessities are covered and there's a thriving community of aliens all living together in "harmony." It all seems rather suspicious to me. Especially when we move in and I can't find any art supplies!
When a handsome Winged-One starts flirting with me, I'm sure it must be a conspiracy. Meshi is persistent, though. I could almost believe that he actually wants to get to know me, if I can ever let my guard down.
Hesitant Hope is the second book in Sanctuary Station, a series of cozy, spicy alien romance novels.
