Sire
“Because love is the easiest way to control someone and I needed a way to control you.”
Still mending a broken heart, Matthew has spent a year avoiding incubi and their army of hunters.
Now he has a new goal: lift the shroud on his past. Why had he been turned and abandoned by his sire? Why didn’t he feel the initial bond between sire and child that vampires experience? Who were his parents, and why had they given him up at birth?
Frustrated by dead ends, his luck changes when a teenage girl tracks him down. She’s strange, socially awkward, and she can see the future. Matthew’s future. She’ll help him if he agrees to save her from the darkness…from Tarrick.
With the incubi armies closing in, a mysterious protector appears, swearing his fealty to Matthew. He’s ancient, seductive, and cursed—unable to explain why he keeps calling Matthew ‘my prince’.

Beautiful Monsters
In a world where desire is as dangerous as a blade, Beautiful Monsters walks a razor’s edge between seduction and survival. This dark fantasy series doesn’t ask for permission—it sinks its teeth in from the first page and doesn’t let go.
At the center of it all is Matthew, a reluctant incubus raised in the illusion of humanity. When the truth of his bloodline comes crashing down, so does the world he thought he knew. What follows is a visceral descent into an underworld of vampires, demons, and immortals who see power and pleasure as two sides of the same coin. Here, bonds are forged in blood, loyalty is a fragile thing, and love is as likely to destroy as it is to save.
