I used to believe in fairy tales.
And then I met him.

They call him the beast.

Shadows danced under his cold eyes, but all I saw was his fire.

He pressed me up against the walls of his castle, and growled against my neck that I belonged to him. He made a dark flower bloom inside me, awakening a hunger that I didn’t even know existed.

I gave myself to him. 


I let him dominate every inch of me. I let him hold my heart and see every corner of my soul.

When it was his turn to do the same, it all went dark.

I get a peek into his real world for the first time—a world of ruthless criminals and savage monsters.

His baby grows inside me as long-hidden secrets start to unravel—each of them bigger than the last.

Real intentions surface.

I discover that everything I once believed to be true is really a lie.

There are no such things as fairy tales.

And only time will tell if I dodged a bullet or made the biggest mistake of my life.

Welcome to ‘Kingdoms.’ Each book is a fairy-tale based contemporary standalone set in the criminal underworld of Chicago. If you like your romance steamy and bordering on the dark side with twists that will have your heart racing, you’ve come to the right place. HEA always.

***Series Complete!***


A town full of secrets. A dark elite.
A girl who crossed the wrong king.


They call them the Court, an elite boys club who rule Windsor Preparatory Academy like gods among men. And, of course, they're led by Hercules himself.

Royal Prinze--yes, that's actually his name--walks around both the school and the town like he owns them. His affiliation to the prestigious Court only gives him more clout. These boys do anything they want. They take anything they want, and they f*ck anything they want... in that order.

Then there's me.

I came to Maywood Heights to live with my virtually indifferent father because my sister went AWOL. She chose to move with him after our father decided to uproot years ago and forget anything related to our late mother. I stayed with our aunt, but my sister and I had always remained close.

She'd never gone off the grid.

The new girl, I arrived at Maywood Heights to find her. The last thing I imagined when enrolling at her school was that she'd be connected to a group like the Court, and boys like Royal. She's nothing like them and so much better than Royal and his elitist attitude...

So, why then are they saying he's her best friend?


Warning: This enemies-to-lovers, high school romance contains some dark themes and light bullying. The book is not a standalone and is book one in a four-part series of full-length novels. Royal Prinze is the only hero of this tale... good luck getting him to share.

I tried it all…
I hated him in the way that he deserved.
I resisted him in the way that I knew best.

But I failed.
Miserably.
It was easier to hate Claude but harder to stay out of his bed.
He wanted to win.
He wanted to control me.
And he wanted to make me submit.
The worse part?
I let him do those things.
I satisfied his billion-dollar ego by letting him adore my curves.
Falling in love with a bad boy was a… bad idea.
But Claude wasn’t just that.
He was also my enemy.
An enemy that now had my heart.
Could I still reclaim it knowing that this bad boy was going to be the end of my sanity?
What if a part of me craved to be destroyed by him?

Dominant bosses, sassy bbw’s, loads of office drama and angst! Each book in the series can be read on it’s own, promises oodles of kindle melting heat and of course, a very passionate happily ever after. His Needs is Claude and Felicia’s story.

Jealousy. Betrayal. Family secrets.

Appearances are everything in my family. We are the Strongs. Fame is our birthright. Music flows through our veins in a continuous harmony. Flaws are unacceptable.

When my parents got a good look at the freak they’d created, I was hidden away, my existence wiped out.

Until they discovered my secret.

Now I had something they wanted.

Taking it from me didn’t faze them. They believed they were entitled.

I was just a boy, unable to fight back.

So I did the only thing I could.

I vanished.

That was nine years ago.

Now they are back, and they want something from me again.

They send the sexy and oh-so-tempting Mia Bennett to persuade me, and I’m helpless to resist her.

Mia seems innocent in my family feud, but is she really?

I can’t be sure.

All I know is she makes me feel alive again. She gives me the courage to just be me. She’s the new inspiration behind my music, my heart’s own melody.

But something dark and twisted lurks close to home, and leaves me questioning who is friend and who is foe.

Now I am forced to make a decision that could well break me.

How far am I willing to go for the woman I love?
