What I am currently reading:

Who knew dragons could be so… hot?

I grew up as a trash bag kid. I don’t want to even try counting how many foster homes I’ve lived in, since I was orphaned at the age of five!

When some long-lost relatives take me in during my last year in the system, I’m careful to remain on my best behavior. Finding family and living happily ever after has always been a secret fantasy, so getting the boot would be devastating!

But these perfect strangers are turning out to be perfectly strange. Like when they tell me dragons are real and my great-aunt’s husband just happens to be one!

Um…

But before I can pack my few belongings and bolt, I see the evidence with my own eyes. Then I catch sight of my new uncle’s five gorgeous nephews and decide… maybe dragons aren’t so bad after all…

What I recently finished reading:

India Steele is desperate. Her father is dead, her fiancé took her inheritance, and no one will employ her, despite years working for her watchmaker father. Indeed, the other London watchmakers seem frightened of her. Alone, poor, and at the end of her tether, India takes employment with the only person who’ll accept her – an enigmatic and mysterious man from America. A man who possesses a strange watch that rejuvenates him when he’s ill.

Matthew Glass must find a particular watchmaker, but he won’t tell India why any old one won’t do. Nor will he tell her what he does back home, and how he can afford to stay in a house in one of London’s best streets. So when she reads about an American outlaw known as the Dark Rider arriving in England, she suspects Mr. Glass is the fugitive. When danger comes to their door, she’s certain of it. But if she notifies the authorities, she’ll find herself unemployed and homeless again – and she will have betrayed the man who saved her life.

With a cast of quirky characters, an intriguing mystery, and a dash of romance, THE WATCHMAKER’S DAUGHTER is the start of a thrilling new historical fantasy series from the author of the bestselling Ministry of Curiosities, Freak House, and Emily Chambers Spirit Medium books.

What I plan on reading next:

One human girl…
Five scorching hot dragons…
A thousand reasons not to want them…
None of those reasons matter!

It’s been five years since my great-aunt and her husband rescued me from foster care – and since I discovered dragons exist. For reals!

Yeah, I had a hard time believing it too, but now I’m learning what it means to be a dragon keeper – a human with special powers who acts as a sort of liaison between dragons and the unsuspecting human world…

When Uncle Max leaves town and entrusts me with my first case, I’m forced to enlist the help of the last five P.I.s on earth he’d want me to ask – his nephews. As much as I want to hate them, for betraying Max, when we all finally meet face to face, the earth shakes with the instant connection between us!

And those powers I’m supposed to have? They seem to grow stronger, the more time I spend with the devastatingly sexy dragon shifters…

But the confusing attraction I have for all five men will have to wait, until we solve this mystery. That’s if we don’t stumble upon an even bigger one along the way…

Spoiler: We do!

They saved her life. Can she save theirs?

My guys saved me from a deadly attack by enemy dragons, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of danger. Not by a long shot.

For the last five years, I hated them, but I’ve learned to trust them. And not just with my life, but with my heart as well. I don’t understand how I can be so drawn to each of them equally, but whenever we’re together I feel so…complete.

It’s a mystery.

As is why a rogue dragon from Romania wants to kill me. At first, I think he’s simply crazy. But, when I learn the truth about what he’s done, it’s me who wants to kill him.

Bummer that he’s an all-powerful dragon and I’m just a measly human. But as my connection with my guys deepens, my dragon keeper powers grow. The question is, will they be enough to save myself and those I love?

Just when things can’t get any worse, they do.

My bestie’s been kidnapped and I’m desperate to find her…but my inability to sprout wings like my dragon shifter guys means we have to adopt a more mundane form of flight. We just have one more important task to complete before we can hop on a plane and follow the kidnapper’s trail to Romania.

With that accomplished, I have time to stew and fret over Zoe, but my guys do their best to keep me distracted until our flight boards. One in particular.

After a deeply passionate encounter with Ash, I feel more connected to him than ever. So why is he pulling away and shutting me out? All I know is whatever bug flew up his butt better not get in the way of rescuing Zoe or there will be hell to pay.

My best friend is still missing, time’s running out, and I’m all out of ideas…

My five guys and I travelled to Europe to rescue Zoe from her dragon kidnappers, but my newly developed powers are failing me. Instead of pinpointing her location, the most I can manage is a little static and a lot of frustration.

When we team up with a group of local rebels, we learn more about our common enemies — including exactly how dangerous they are. An unexpected attack also proves they’re always one step ahead of us.

Only the strengthening bond my boys and I share seems to be going right — until an unthinkable betrayal threatens us all.

The Fire of the Dragon’s Heart is the fourth book in the Harem of Fire series, a medium-burn reverse harem fantasy romance featuring five dead-sexy dragon shifters and one sassy human heroine with a propensity for finding trouble.

Can’t a girl catch a break?

The evil mage the dragon world thought was long dead? Turns out…not so much. Vazha’s back with a vengeance, ready to destroy dragonkind and enslave the human population.

My boys and I may have rescued my best friend, but the devastating news Uncle Max has been captured means we can’t go home until Vazha is destroyed. And no one’s kidding themselves, it’s not going to be easy.

We’re no match for his forces or growing powers and have almost no hope of success, but a surprise discovery reveals the one person in the world who stands a chance against him.

Me.

Oh, boy, this is gonna be fun.

The Blaze of the Dragon’s Heart is the thrilling conclusion to the Harem of Fire series, a medium-burn reverse harem fantasy romance featuring five dead-sexy dragon shifters and one sassy human heroine with a propensity for finding trouble. Pulse-pounding action and adventure mixed with schmexy lovin’ and an HEA for all.
