The Heart of Three
The Three series comprises three standalone novels, each focusing on a prophesied couple whose love holds the key to saving humanity. Until the Sun Falls from the Sky (2011) introduces Leah, a human concubine, and Lucien, a powerful vampire, whose fiery connection challenges centuries-old traditions. With Everything I Am (2012) follows Callum, a werewolf king, and Sonia, his human mate, as they navigate a prophecy and their intense bond.
