A nautical fantasy romance novella
Two maps. One myth. A fateful encounter.
Determined to right his past mistakes, Ned Milton boards the legendary trading ship, hoping to earn a fortune that will secure his family’s future. But when his mysterious employer reveals maps to the long-lost Islands of Myth, Ned can no longer suppress his childhood dream–and plunges headfirst into the pursuit of the illusive legend.
On one of those very islands, Marcella serves as its silent guardian–until fate mocks her loyalty with an incurable affliction. When a wrecked ship washes ashore, Marcella finds herself tending to its injured crew…and to the curious stranger who asks too many questions.
As Ned rejoices in finding the mythical islands, he becomes increasingly drawn to Marcella’s secrets, while she finds it harder to guard her heart. With the ship’s departure looming, both must decide whether to honor their obligations—or risk everything for a love that defies the tides.
Of Stars and Myths is the prequel to Tales of Spark, a sweet nautical romantasy inspired by Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, brimming with magical realms, ominous secrets, and perilous adventures.
A sweet pirate fantasy romance
Half a map. Half a lie. Half a heart.
As a pirate captain, Spark prefers burglary over robbery, stealing from powerful merchants in search of the truth behind his father’s death and his family’s demise. Though his grand thefts have always been fruitful, the loot can only pacify his bloodthirsty crew for so long. In danger of losing the loyalty of his men, Spark finally stumbles upon half a map leading to a legendary treasure thought to exist only in the Islands of Myth—the same islands where his father’s remains lay.
A regular stowaway on ships, Brynne hops from one crew to another, searching for a legendary dagger that can undo the curse that has plagued her homeland and the man that’s responsible for the curse. Her quest for vengeance takes a twist when she bumps into Spark, the owner of the dagger she has been searching for. When she discovers Spark’s plan to reach the Islands of Myth, her homeland, Brynne offers him a partnership he can’t refuse.
Hiding their plans and schemes from each other, Spark and Brynne navigate through tempests, treacherous waters, and monsters. Even as each fortifies walls around their hearts, Spark and Brynne find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. But when they finally reach their destination, Brynne vanishes without a trace, leaving the treasure lost and Spark at a crossroads. With his crew’s patience waning, Spark must decide whether to chase the elusive treasure, avenge his father, or unravel the secrets of the woman who stole his heart.
A retelling of The Little Match Girl and The Ice Queen, Of Storms and Wishes is the first installment of Tales of Spark, a sweet nautical fantasy inspired by Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, brimming with magical realms, ominous secrets, and perilous adventures.
