Look at that gorgeous cover!

Releasing January 12, 2026

Hello, Darling! I’m so glad you’ve joined in the fun to help me spread the word of the surprise(!) third Devourer book.

I didn’t intend to write this book. When I said the series was a duology and would be complete at book two, I wasn’t lying!

I wrote a bonus scene for Hook and Roc for Substack and enjoyed it so much (and what it hinted at!) that I started thinking about what else might come after. I truly love writing these characters. And writing book 3 allowed me to take a peek into their lives after all the drama as they aimed to settle into something that felt beautiful and soft and warm — a shared life.

Of course, there IS some drama, but fun drama! (Captain Hook may or may not accidentally get himself kidnapped lol)

Now for all the fun bits…

ARCs are coming soon! Depending on when you get your mailing, they may already be released (my goal is January 4th). Rae (my PA) and I will be delivering directly to your inbox using the email you signed up with, so keep an eye out.

Devour the Snake Summary

I’m getting married. Again. But this time it’s to the men I love: Captain James Hook and the Crocodile, the Devourer of Men. 

As a Darling, I never thought I’d get the fairytale life. Not with Peter Pan haunting my family line. Not with the monsters and witches and myths of the Seven Isles plotting for revenge. 

On the morning of my wedding, all seems well…

…until someone kidnaps James. 

Surely it must be a mistake. Because no one on Darkland would be stupid enough to kidnap the Crocodile’s boyfriend, right?

But if we’re to find our happily ever after, we’re going to have to overcome more than a vengeful street gang. 

And we deserve it, don’t we? James, Roc, and me. We deserve a happy ending after everything we’ve endured. And we’re determined to get it.
