Just published my second book! It’s free to read on Kindle Unlimited!

Marriage was supposed to be the hard part. Isriel and Kael survived that — survived a curse, a splinter, a wedding neither of them chose. What they didn't expect was a kingdom that keeps needing them to survive it all over again.

When a widow's letter leads them to a debt older than her family's memory, Isriel and Kael find themselves chasing a pattern of vanishings that all point to the same terrifying possibility: Mother Vahl, exiled and presumed harmless, never stopped listening for the moment someone would finally ask her the right question.

Racing against a debt that's coming due and a woman who collects unfinished souls, Isriel and Kael will have to trust each other — and the family they've built from soldiers, thieves, and children nobody else came looking for — to answer a question three centuries in the making, before it's answered for them.

Book Two of The Unfinished Souls

He has died for her more times than he can count. She has never once remembered why.

He knows her face before he knows her name. Prince Kael has lived this before: the arranged marriage, the receiving hall, the particular weight of a woman's gaze across a crowded room. He knows how it ends. He has always known. And yet, when Lady Isriel Vane walks toward him in dark green silk, sharp-eyed and entirely unafraid, he discovers there is something worse than dying for the woman you love.

Falling for her all over again.

Isriel does not believe in curses. She believes in debts, in political marriages, and in the careful work of cataloging one's enemies before they have the chance to become dangerous. She did not expect her new husband to look at her like a riddle he has spent his entire life trying to solve — or like a blade aimed directly at his chest.

When their hands join in the ceremony and something tears open underneath the ordinary moment, Isriel finds herself with a mystery she cannot explain away with poison or politics. And Isriel Vane does not leave mysteries unresolved.

A slow-burn fantasy romance told in alternating voices, The Lives Between Us follows two people across the complicated, gorgeous, devastating terrain of a first year of marriage — where honesty is a currency spent reluctantly, trust is built one careful conversation at a time, and a three-hundred-year-old grief is finally given the chance to rest.

Perfect for readers who love intricate court politics, emotionally intelligent characters, and romance that earns every inch of its resolution.
