Summary: Politics taught him restraint. Love taught him who he would destroy. Lornyc Reagalos is judged a naïve young High Lord of Katraman: too young, too soft, too inexperienced to wield the power of his bloodline. His marriage to Methian is dismissed as nothing more than political convenience, a cold alliance meant to stabilise borders rather than ignite devotion. His rivals believe him harmless. They are catastrophically wrong. When Methian is kidnapped and vanishes without a trace, Lornyc’s composure shatters. Panic claws through him, his magic spirals out of control, and every restraint he has ever learned begins to fracture. There is no limit to what he will do to bring Methian home, and no mercy left for those who stand in his way. Taken beyond his world, Methian learns the truth. The Valen believe he is a dimensional aberration, the son of one of their own, stolen into the wrong reality. Stripped of everything familiar, Methian clings to a single, unyielding certainty. He will return to Lornyc. But bloodlines hide more than ancestry. Beneath the mage city of Beher, Lornyc uncovers an ancient magical barrier that has shackled the Reagalos for centuries. The revelation gives him the power to tear worlds open and reclaim Methian, but at a terrible cost. Can Lornyc control his fury, or will he unleash destruction so complete it could rip both himself and reality apart? Avarice  Reagalos Book Three is a high-stakes gay romantasy of buried secrets, volatile magic, and a love forged through separation. Where devotion becomes defiance, rescue becomes rebellion, and choosing each other may be the most dangerous act of all.

Summary: A love worth hiding. A choice worth everything. Lornyc and Methian can barely make it through a university lecture without arguing. Sharp words, clashing egos, and mutual irritation define their student rivalry. But irritation has a way of curving sideways. After one explosive argument, the dislike turns into passion, and then into something far more meaningful. Their future roles in leading their own cities mean they have to keep their burgeoning relationship secret. They survive with stolen moments, quiet rooms, and promises never spoken aloud. For a while, secrecy is enough. The secret doesn’t last. When Methian’s father discovers the relationship, the response is immediate: Methian is sent away, and the choice is made for them. Months pass in silence and distance, heavy with everything left unsaid. Duty stretches ahead of them both, demanding obedience, sacrifice, and futures that no longer seem to include each other. When they finally unite, they know they can never lose each other again. Their love must remain hidden, but it is no longer fragile. It is steadfast, chosen, and quietly defiant, no matter what the future demands. College Days, the Reagalos series prequel, is a gay romantasy of rivalry, inherited expectation, and a forbidden love that refuses to stay broken.

Summary: Worship binds. Love frees. Lornyc Reagalos has claimed his place as High Lord of Katraman and Liege of Scura, and he expects opposition, not devotion. So when a religious order called the Cerulean Cult proclaims him the One, he knows reverence is rarely without a price. The price is revealed during the cult’s Sanctification Ceremony, when a priest presents the orb that anchors Lornyc’s magic, then shatters it. The breach frees an unknown entity and tears open the fabric between dimensions. The Valen Council, arbiters of the worlds, give Lornyc a single command: find the entity, or lose his life. To survive, Lornyc must cross unfamiliar worlds where power and titles mean nothing. Only trust endures. At his side is his husband, Methian, his true love, who is steady through shifting ground and breaking realities, and the only one close enough to pull Lornyc back when magic threatens to tear him apart. As the hunt closes in, Lornyc learns the cost of failure has always been higher than death. His fate is not owned by a cult, a council, or prophecy, but losing would strip him of autonomy, future, and the life he is desperate to protect. The unknown does not ask whether he is strong enough to face it, only whether he is willing to lose everything that makes survival worthwhile. Idolatry, Reagalos Book Two, is a gay romantasy of devotion, inherited power, and the love that endures when belief becomes a weapon, and the world demands a god who is willing to break.

Summary: Stolen magic, a brutal Reckoning, and a love that may not survive. Lornyc is the High of Katraman, but he has discovered that the magic of his mother’s bloodline was stripped away by dark magic, and the House of Heritine was left with nothing. Lornyc evokes the Reckoning, an ancient and brutal contest meant to legitimise power, knowing it is the only mechanism capable of forcing restitution for a crime the mage refuses to name. Victory would return his house’s magic, grant him Beher, and strip authority from those who have ruled on stolen strength for centuries. But the Reckoning is no longer what it was meant to be. Forbidden dark magic has seeped into the contest, twisting its trials into something far deadlier than tradition allows. Survival demands choices Lornyc was never meant to make, which risks the love of the one man he would die for, Methian, his husband. In the Reckoning, power always demands a price. This time, the cost may be everything. Restitution, Reagalos Book Four, is a gay romantasy of stolen power, brutal justice, and a marriage pushed to its breaking point when reclaiming the truth demands sacrifice—and love becomes the price of setting the world right.

Summary: Forbidden Fruit. Alpha businessman Carter Christian knows he's somewhat of a recluse, but he likes living out in the country with only the rare visitor. When his best friend and business partner suddenly asks him to house his omega son--a son Carter never even knew about-- for a short time, Carter is shocked, wary, and intrigued all at the same time. Omegas are rare, and until then, Carter had never met one. For his friend, however, he's willing to do it, even though the act requires that Carter take rut suppressants for the duration of the omega's stay. Nineteen-year-old omega Jackson is tired of being hidden away. His parents plan to mate him to some alpha he doesn't even know, and until then he has to stay with his father's best friend. He finds he doesn't mind the latter so much because Carter listens to him and even tries to help Jackson research omegas. But, all too soon, the time comes for Jackson to mate the strange alpha. Only he doesn't want that alpha--he wants the alpha he's been living with who treats him like a person rather than something to be owned. Jackson doesn't care that Carter's old enough to be his father, but Carter isn't willing to break his friend's trust. Learning his parents may have been right about a government conspiracy against omegas only makes things more complicated for the two men who seem destined to be kept apart.

After spending years wanting to get away from his family's ranch, Maddox isn't sure he'll be able to settle down there with a mate—particularly not with an omega mate. No one knows much about alpha/omega relationships other than they are said to be highly sexually charged, and Maddox isn't eager to relinquish his control to his ruts. David has lived his life hidden from the government trying to kill him. He never expects handsome, tattooed Maddox Angel—the man hired to keep him safe—to offer to mate him.
