Ashbound Chronicles: Ash Without Fire
Kira Oakley was never meant for Greyward Institute.
An unexpected scholarship placed her among the most powerful heirs with two warnings: never tell anyone how she got in and stay away from the Fates.
But Greyward has its own order, and outsiders were never meant to disturb it.

Love & War: Season One
A year has passed since the Devil's Massacre.
Sapphire Astor takes the reins of her family's empire as Don, but not every family in Chicago is willing to answer to a woman. As old tensions threaten the fragile peace, the Astors have more to protect than their name.
Chicago is a city built on secrets. And some secrets are worth killing to keep.
