The Four Arts
Entangled in a court ruled by tradition and intrigue, a young witch must come to terms with newfound power and desire—and a choice between loyalty and survival…
The Four Arts series is a complete romantasy/romantic fantasy trilogy set in a secondary world with a historical feel. Magic, royalty, court intrigue, and an ongoing romance across all three (with a HEA). This series is complete. The reading order is: The Shattered Court (Book 1), The Forbidden Heir (Book 2) and The Unbound Queen (Book 3). Courting The Witch is a prequel novella, featuring a different couple, set about ten years before the series starts. It can be read before or after the main trilogy as it doesn’t have any spoilers.
The Daughter of Ravens series
Set in the same world as the Four Arts trilogy and starting not long after that one ends, the Daughter of Ravens series is a complete romantasy trilogy, featuring an ongoing couple. Friends to enemies to lovers, he fell first and he fell hard, magic, treason and imperial intrigue. This trilogy is complete and the reading order is The Exile’s Curse (Book 1), The Traitor’s Game (Book 2), The Rebel’s Prize (Book 3).
The Half-Light City series

The Half-Light City series is a complete romantasy series set in a gaslamp-ish secondary world. There is a new heroine/hero in each book but an overall ongoing story. If you like a good romance trope, then there are enemies to lovers, bad girl/grumpy good girl, bad guy/reluctant good guy and a second chance romance. If you like your fantasy with lots of different magical races, steam, and intrigue, this might be the one for you. The reading order is Shadow Kin (Book 1), Blood Kin (Book 2), Iron Kin (Book 3) and Fire Kin (Book 4).
The Techwitch series
Her mother was a wicked witch but Maggie Lachlan wants nothing to do with magic. But magic wants something to do her.
Set in a near-future San Francisco struggling to recover from earthquakes and rising seas, and where technology can do things that are close enough to magic anyway, the TechWitch series is an ongoing futuristic urban fantasy. Witches, demons, hot tech billionaires, virtual reality, action. Warning: This series has an ongoing romance and does not have an immediate HEA but there will be one! The reading order is Wicked Games (Book 1), Wicked Words (Book 2), Wicked Nights (Book 3), Wicked Dreams (Book 4), Wicked Ways (Book 5), Wicked Deeds (Book 6), Wicked Lies (coming soon) (Book 7).
The Wild Side series
Vampires, werewolves, warring couples. And that’s just the day job. Ashley Keenan is a normal girl in a world that’s left normal behind and now the past is catching up with her . . .
The Wild Side series is a complete current day dark urban fantasy trilogy with werewolves and vampires and features a continuing heroine/hero and a second chance romance. Angsty, steamy, and action packed. This one really needs to be read in order. The Wolf Within (Book 1), The Dark Side (Book 2), Bring On The Night (Book 3).
