A tale that spans centuries, 3 different lives, and one man who waits for his true mate. This book captivated me in so many ways. It left me guessing each step of the way, and when I finally got to the end, I sobbed!

Coded In Control is so descriptive, I felt like I was watching a movie, not reading a book. It's gritty, deranged, and S P I C Y.

A Witchy Situation was such a cozy spooky holiday romance about witches, undiscovered powers, and falling in love with your best friend. This is a closed door romance, meaning there is no on-page spice. It's short and sweet. Perfect for cozy reading.
