Yokai Treasures

The Yokai Treasures series is a timetravel romantasy set in a fantastical version of the sengoku-jidai, inspired by Japanese folklore.
Heat: smoldering (fade-to-black).

Sword and Mirror

What would you do if you found yourself in medieval Japan? Make a deal with a samurai warlord! What could go wrong...?

In exchange for help, Ciara has to pose as the fiancée to the samurai lord, Katsuo. As she struggles to navigate new cultural norms and traditions, Katsuo is intrigued by the foreigner's curious behavior. Neither is actually looking for a real relationship, but can't deny the allurement.

As supernatural enemies close in, it becomes clear that Katsuo isn't the only one with a dangerous secret.

Sword and Mirror is the first book in the Yokai Treasures series, a timetravel romantasy set in sengoku-jidai (around the same time as the Shogun is set), richly inspired by Japanese folklore. Fans of Inuyasha will love it. Each book in the series follows a different couple, interconnected by the overall story about certain items of power.

Extra short story: What happened to Orihime is a welcoming gift to my new newsletter subscribers.

Smoke and Jewel

Traitors don't deserve a happy ending, do they?

Following the clue of her cousin's disappearance, Karen finds herself in a war-torn, 16th-century Japan and her only chance at freedom is to rely on a ninja who had already betrayed his master once. Their fates intertwines as their feelings grow, but there's no guarantee he'd choose her over his current master.

Who will the enigmatic ninja betray this time - his lifesaver or the enchanting witch pulling on long forgotten emotions? If he chooses to help her... he risks certain death. But if he doesn't... Karen is bound to look forward to a life of slavery, enchanting weapons to be used against her loved ones.

Blades and FEathers

All secrets must come to an end.

Yoriko, the only female tengu in existence, has been looked down on and ostracized by the others. However, there comes the perfect chance to get recognized by her family: all she has to do is find the Jewel that was stolen and return it to the clan!

Simple, isn't it? Disguising herself as a man, she infiltrates the castle the greenhorn lord suspected to have the treasure and she is determined to find it.

As she watches Takeru deal with the aftermath of the war that left his new territory in shambles, she admires his tenacity and dedication to his people. Unexpectedly drawn to him, Yoriko soon realizes that there may be a place that accepts her as she is, without pretense and bribes - and it isn't the tengu compound. While secrets threaten to keep them apart, she forgets one thing.

The Jewel has attracted others, far more dangerous and ruthless than Yoriko.

But in order to protect him, Yoriko must betray the trust of the only good man in her life...
