the forbidden king: an heir of atlantis novella (book 1.5)
A chambermaid bound to her family's prestigious palace legacy. A King harboring a secret bound to shatter his world.
Leader Reneah Diaz, the unparalleled head of the palace chambermaids and valets, was a figure of admiration and respect. Her family’s legacy amongst the staff was not just coveted, but revered. But when the grieving Fae King returns to Atlantis with the Heir in tow, the human chambermaid breaks all the rules and forms an unexpected and unique friendship with father and daughter. This friendship, unlike any other, born in the most unlikely of circumstances, opens up a world of secrets and revelations about his mating bond with the deceased Queen Neleah, secrets that not a soul alive knows of.
A hidden shame plagues the Fae King, a secret so rare that it could shatter the perceptions Neleah and Cathan carefully built. But when undeniable chemistry flourishes with his human chambermaid, he feels something he never dared to dream of—something worth risking his reputation and his daughter’s.
In a world where palace politics expressly forbids relations between the royal family and the palace staff, and where relations between humans and Fae are incredibly taboo, Cathan’s unusual request for Reneah to take residence in the royal wing does not go unnoticed by her superior or her subordinates. And when their affections become something more, Reneah and Cathan must face a heart-wrenching decision: distance themselves or risk destroying her family’s legacy and his reputation forever.

The Veiled Heir (The Heir of Atlantis: Book 1)
Heir to a Fae throne she didn't know was hers. A daunting task to save humanity. A passionate love nurtured through her grief.
Asherah Delmar led a happy and quiet life. Her career as a marine biologist was about to take off, but her mother, Neleah’s, sudden murder stopped her life harshly in its tracks. When she discovers her mother’s true identity, the world as she knew it begins to unravel.
After escaping Neleah’s assassins, Asherah is thrust into an ancient world she thought to be a myth. She finds herself surrounded by a different type of sea creature unlike any other—the Water Fae. Asherah must step out of her mother’s shadow to become what she never dreamed she could be—the heir to the Queendom of Atlantis. With the weight of the world pressing down on her shoulders, an inexplicable connection to the Commander of the Guardians, Draevyn Eliron, may be the only thing holding her together.
In this magical underwater world, Asherah must learn to embrace her Water Fae abilities while fighting for her throne and saving the human race. But not every Fae wants to save the humans. A council seeks to dethrone her, the rebels are determined to kill her, and Draevyn's hold on her heart threatens to consume her.
