When all you want is the freedom to explore it on your own? Disguise yourself as a cabin boy and hitch a ride on a pirate ship! Ria. All my life, I’ve chased the thrill of new adventures, but nothing scratches that itch for long. So when a mysterious business card slips under my apartment door, promising to grant my greatest wish, my curiosity and sense of adventure get the best of me. Before I know it, I’ve switched places with my look-alike and whisked through the Enchanted Veil to a whole new realm. But in this strange, medieval place, men vastly outnumber women and they don’t take kindly to the word ‘no’. To survive, I disguise myself as a man and get a job aboard a pirate ship run by three handsome brothers. Huxley, Calix and Bazz are demanding and intimidating, but also incredibly kind and sexy. The battles raging on the seas are nothing compared to the reckless, growing desire building inside me. But if they find out I’m not who I say I am, I fear they’ll treat me like the commodity women are in this realm, or worse, leave me alone and brokenhearted. Sailing on the high seas, disguised as a man with three dangerously captivating pirate captains, what could go wrong? ***SECRETS ON THE SEA, The Lost Souls of Dyconia - Book One, is a STANDALONE 80,000 word lighthearted reverse harem/why choose MFMM romance novel with a fantasy twist.

So when she disappears, I’m willing to do anything to find her—even if it means being sent to an entirely different realm. At first, Dyconia feels like something out of the past, but I quickly realize this world is far more dangerous, and captivating, than I ever imagined. With men riding giant eagles, strange creatures roaming the land, and the fact that there are far fewer women than men, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Through a series of near death incidents (totally not my fault), I meet Ryker, the charming, handsome eagle rider, and Braxton, the giant mountain man. I didn’t expect to fall for them so quickly, but what’s even more surprising is that they think I need more than just the two of them to keep me safe in this dangerous world. In our search for my best friend, Ria, we meet more men who seem determined to find their own place in my heart. I can’t deny my pull towards them, but I can’t forget my main reason for being here.
