Series

Crescent City

Crescent City is an urban fantasy series set in New Orleans, which serves as a haven for supernatural creatures. It follows Augustine, a man that spends most of his time womanizing and living a life of relative ease. It's only when his patroness Olivia is attacked by vampires that he is forced to begin working as the city's Guardian and defend it against supernatural abuse. He is paired up with Harlow, a woman coming to terms with her fae nature and to whom Augustine finds himself attracted.

House of Comarré

House of Comarré is an urban fantasy series set in a world where vampires and other supernatural creatures (called "othernaturals") exist, but try to avoid being detected by the human population, mortals. Particularly wealthy and influential vampires have the ability to purchase comarrés, humans that have been bred to provide blood of exceptional quality for their "patrons". Chrysabelle is a comarré that has fled her home after her patron dies. She runs into Malkolm, a vampire under a terrible curse. As the series progresses the two are repeatedly thrown into danger, courtly intrigues, and wars between the various othernatural factions.

Jayne Frost

The Jayne Frost series is a mystery series and spin-off from Nocturne Falls. It is set within the same town and follows the titular Jayne Frost, the daughter of Jack Frost. In the series' first novel Jayne is sent undercover to investigate the disappearance of elves from the town's Santa's workshop store. There she runs into her ex-fiance Connor and also meets the handsome vampire Garrett, which causes her to become torn between her attraction to both men. By the novel's conclusion Jayne has, under her true identity, assumed managerial control of the store and reconciled with Connor, with the two agreeing to start as friends.

Nocturne Falls

Nocturne Falls is a paranormal romance series set in the fictional tourist town of Nocturne Falls, where they attract visitors by year round celebrations of Halloween. This gimmick allows its citizens, primarily supernatural creatures such as witches, vampires, and werewolves, to live semi-freely under the guise that they are only acting to entertain tourists. Each book centers around a different pairing solving various issues and falling in love with one another.
