As Haven's oracle-touched owner of Spill the Tea, the local tea shop, Scott has spent two years fighting the pull toward Ash and Ember—twin hellhounds who make his heart race and his common sense flee. He’s tired of fighting. There's just one tiny he's fated to bond with someone else. Someone he's never met. Someone who might not even exist. When a demon cult targets Scott to access his prophetic abilities, Ash and Ember's carefully maintained distance becomes impossible. Protecting him means staying close. Staying close means facing feelings they've all been fighting. And facing those feelings means defying a prophecy that's stood for years. But the cult isn't Scott's only problem. He's not just oracle-touched—he's a reality singer, capable of reshaping existence itself. And the demons hunting him don't just want to open dimensional rifts. They wish to unmake reality itself, with Scott as their unwilling conduit. Caught between cosmic destiny and chosen love, Scott faces an impossible wait for a fated mate who might never come, or bond with the two hellhounds who've already claimed his heart—and risk the wrath of fate itself.

James Hastings knows he doesn't deserve a second chance. A year ago, consumed by grief over his brother's death, he summoned demons and nearly became the villain in someone else's story. Only Rex, alpha of Haven's hellhound pack, saw past his mistakes and offered him an apprenticeship instead of punishment. Now James is rebuilding his life in Haven, Louisiana— a supernatural sanctuary town where he's finally learning to forgive himself. Until a routine crisis brings reinforcements from Alabama, and James locks eyes with an auburn-haired hellhound across a chaotic battlefield. The recognition is instant, undeniable, and utterly terrifying. James isn't ready for the intensity of that connection. He isn't prepared for the way his magic responds to this stranger's presence. So, when the crisis ends and the hellhound leaves, James tells himself to forget about it, tells himself that the moment meant nothing. He's wrong. Ace has spent four months trying to move on after his brother Ryker's death. But Alabama feels suffocating, full of memories and expectations he can't meet. When Rex offers him a place in Haven's pack, Ace knows it's not just about finding a new home— it's about finding the human mage whose pale blue-gray eyes have haunted him since that single moment of eye contact six months ago. Their reunion is everything Ace hoped for. Coffee turns into conversation. Conversation turns into a connection. And that connection turns into the beginning of something that feels like destiny. Then Thaddeus Crane comes to Haven. The warlock who killed Ace's brother has been stalking James for weeks, studying his magic, planning to drain him slowly over months while using Ace as leverage. Crane is centuries old, devastatingly powerful, and utterly ruthless. He doesn't just steal magic— he destroys everything his victims love first. With Crane closing in, James has three days to transform from apprentice mage into a combat practitioner. Three days of brutal training. Three days to learn coordination with Ace and the pack. Three days to prepare for a confrontation that will either end Crane's reign of terror or leave James an empty husk. But the real stakes aren't just survival. They're the bond forming between James and Ace— the mate connection that's already taken root despite logic and timing. The future they're both desperate to build. The life waiting for them on the other side of this battle… if they can survive long enough to claim it. A Hellhound for the Mage is a standalone M/M paranormal romance set in the Hellhounds of Haven universe. Featuring intensive training montages, fiercely protective hellhounds, found family dynamics, magical combat, a mage who refuses to be the victim, and a love story that begins with recognition and ends with forever. less

Recruited into a fanatical cult that hunted hellhounds, he learned too late that he'd been lied to— the "demons" they hunted were actually guardians protecting humanity. When Marcus threw himself in front of a killing strike to save a hellhound's life, demon essence contaminated him, sealing his fate as a supernatural liability requiring constant supervision. Enter Dante, the grumpy alpha from Alabama who volunteers to take over Marcus's guardianship. Moving to Harbor means escaping the guilt-soaked streets of Haven, but it also means living under the watchful eye of a hellhound alpha who looks at Marcus like he's something precious instead of broken. As Marcus struggles to unlearn a lifetime of conditioning, he discovers feelings he was taught were sinful— and realizes that the enemy he was raised to fear might be exactly what his damaged heart needs. But when a power-hungry practitioner petitions the Supernatural Council for access to Marcus as a research subject, their fragile new beginning faces an impossible choice: submit to forced experimentation that could end up killing him, or risk everything by completing a hellhound bond that might just eliminate the demon essence entirely. Sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the demon inside you, it's learning to believe you deserve to be loved anyway. A slow-burn M/M paranormal romance featuring religious trauma recovery, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, found family, and a hellhound alpha who will burn down the world to protect his mate. Guaranteed HEA. less
