Standalones 

These books are not part of a series and can all be read as standalones.

My Lovely Tragedy

Obsidian wings fluttered in the snow-blinded night.
You stumbled into my arms, bleeding your pain into the air around us.
Into me.
You tantalized me with your ethereal beauty—an echoing haunt written in the essence of a tragedy.
My lovely tragedy.


My Lovely Tragedy is a dark MM love story—not a romance, which means it does not end with an HEA.

Inevitable  Destruction

The depth of your darkness swallowed me whole

Everett:
The precarious stability I built for myself vanishes with one look at his pretty face. Years of endless remorse, shame, and outrage; amplified by him—the son of the two people who ruined my life.
And now that it’s all been brought to the surface, I can’t deny it any longer.
Dominik Reed needs to pay for the sins of his parents.
What I didn’t expect was the deep-seated ache he draws out in me: a virulent, carnal need to claim and destroy him simultaneously. Every attempt to resist my impulses are in vain.
I can’t fight what’s inevitable.

Dominik:
Years of sobriety, wasted after the loss of the girl I thought I loved. It turns out love doesn’t exist. Only pain. Loss. The white static of chaos we’re forced to live in—and I want nothing more than to feel nothing. Be nothing.
Amidst my downward spiral, a domineering cop I crossed paths with months ago forces himself into every facet of my life, stirring up everything I forced myself not to feel.
Rhett Boyd has a sick obsession with me and my pain. And in return, my disturbing, twisted desire gradually turns into something deeper, something… more.
Until I realize the truth.
I’ve always been destined for destruction.

Inevitable Destruction is a dark enemies to lovers MM standalone romance.

Leo Douglas Harms: The Grim
An impenetrable wall of smoke and flames devoured the family I gave up everything for and I took my vengeance the only way I knew how—by becoming the very thing I ran away from. But little did I know I would inherit more than I bargained for.
Decades later and I’m burnt out, running on fumes to survive in a life I never wanted.
Then I met him. A light in the abyss.
Jaxon was beautiful—inside and out—and I found myself captivated by him in a way I had never felt. Knowing him, touching him, obliterated my soul. But in doing so, he stole something from me that was never mine to give. I tried… but my guilt was too much for even him to overshadow.
It will always be her. Them. It can’t not be.

Jaxon Ashtor Fitz: His Light
I used to be an honest, selfless man. The happy, go-lucky, all around good guy, but when Leo showed up at my tattoo shop, I felt every single one of my morals escape between my lips with a breathless ‘hello.’
His entire being exuded darkness; the relentless torture of his soul lingering just underneath the surface.
I was drawn to it, and him, like a moth to a flame. And when the secrets and lies started to build into a precarious fortress with me locked inside, I felt myself start to change.
His pain became mine, eroding me down until all that remained was the tiniest remnants of who I used to be. All because I fell in love with someone who could never love me back. Who refused. Who would never. Choose. Me.

Quiet Is the Night Now is a dark MM standalone romance.

Abysmal 

Zevryn Carver was content living in apathy—even after he reaped the consequences and nearly lost everything. Feeling numb was better than any form of reality… until Gavin Holt.
The bodyguard hired to protect him quickly becomes Zevryn’s everything, despite his defensive, bratty attitude. Gavin sees more, deeper. He sees a boy desperate to be loved and cared for—and that’s all Gavin wants to do.
Between Gavin’s need to claim him and Zevryn’s desperation, they form a bond that’s all-consuming.
A Daddy and his boy. 
Desperate to be marked by his touch forever, Zevryn ignores the glaringly obvious barrier between them—the gold band still wrapped around Gavin’s ring finger. Zevryn may be his boy, but he’ll never be his—even if Gavin does hold him to his chest like it doesn’t matter.

Abysmal is a dark and emotional M/M standalone romance. This book deals with content that may be triggering. A detailed warning can be found in the Author’s Note at the beginning of the story.
