Captive Hearts book 1: In Enemy Hands
​There's more than one way to conquer a warrior.
Aaron: I wake from a nap bound and at the mercy of an enemy colonel. He has scars, huge muscles and way too many weapons. He says I’m his prisoner of war. But when bandits attack us, he risks his life to protect me. And things kinda… escalate. Soon kisses replace suspicions, and we’re playing prisoner and guard just for fun. But what about my duty to my people? Am I falling in love and becoming a traitor all at once?
Neil: I’m a soldier—the rules are simple. When I find an enemy in the wilderness, I take him prisoner. So what if he has honey-colored eyes and a wicked sense of humor? But as we huddle together at night (just for warmth, of course), I want to keep him all to myself. Even though it’s forbidden. Even though I swore I’d never let emotion get in the way of duty again.
In Enemy Hands is a sweet enemies-to-lovers MM fantasy romance novel. Duty vs. desire, protective MC, us against the world vibes, and lots of cuddling. This is book 1 of 4 in the Captive Hearts series, which follows Neil and Aaron's love story and ends with a Happy Ever After at the end of book 4.

Captive Hearts book 2: Ash and Roses
Neil has always been the protector. But now it's my turn to save him.
Callinthen soldiers have taken the city. They force me to watch, helpless, as they parade my boyfriend Neil through his own streets as a prisoner. He already blames himself for the invasion; living under occupation will destroy him. He's my big strong soldier, but this time he needs someone to rescue him.
My only chance is an invitation to the banquet celebrating the new emperor's victory. Maybe I can beat the Callinthens with trickery, manipulating their "mystical" talisman. I can't get caught: they aren't known for their mercy. But if I don't try, the city will be stuck under their command forever and Neil will never forgive himself. Trouble is, he's so overprotective. He'd never let me attempt my dangerous plan. So I just won't tell him.
Warm and fuzzy MM romance set in a gaslamp fantasy world. Overprotective soldier and feisty pacifist, still playing prisoner and guard for fun. This is book 2 of 4 in the Captive Hearts series, which follows Neil and Aaron's love story and ends with a Happy Ever After for the couple. This book has a Happy For Now ending.

Captive Hearts book 3: Sworn Soldier
Can I still love Neil when he isn't Neil?
​
Neil is ridiculous. We've just gotten engaged, and he agrees to a perilous diplomatic mission without asking me first. It's impossible to stay mad at him when he looks at me with those puppy-dog eyes. But if he thinks I'm going to let him ride off into the unknown without me to take care of him, he's dead wrong.
His job is to supervise peace talks between Rhennian diplomats and the Callinthen High Priestess. Then the priestess' guards snatch Neil and me and force us into carriages headed for Callinth, and it's clear the talks were a ruse. Her real target is Neil, the man she calls the Sworn Soldier. He'll be nothing more than a puppet in her schemes for power. Her poison gets to work, and the Neil I love is buried under layers of aggression and megalomania. Alone and hopelessly outnumbered, I'm at my lowest moment. How can we escape our enemies' web when Neil doesn't even want to leave? Will I ever manage to bring back the sweet, gentle man I love?
Sworn Soldier is book 3 of 4 in the Captive Hearts series, which follows soldier Neil and pacifist Aaron's love story. There's a Happy Ever After ending at the end of book 4.
