Welcome to Ashthorne Glen

An enchanting small town where dragons protect magical secrets, gossip spreads faster than dragonfire, and bringing fated mates together is practically a community event.

 Capturing the Grumpy Dragon

Book One of the Seven Mates for Seven Dragons series

Welcome to Ashthorne Glen, the Dragon Capital of the Northeast.

A quirky small town where seven protective dragon shifters deal with magical mishaps and a matchmaking matriarch determined to find each of them a fated mate.

Documentary filmmaker Rona Lancaster doesn’t believe in dragons or magic. Her life is based in facts, logic, and a determination to never stay in one place for too long. So filming a Halloween special in a dragon-obsessed small town should be easy. Capture the cozy atmosphere, interview a few locals, and maybe expose the tricks behind the folklore mystique the town has created.

Instead, she finds suspiciously convincing ‘special effects,’ far too many knowing smiles, and one handsome, grumpy fire chief whose overprotective interference makes her job impossible and her pulse race for all the wrong reasons.

After nearly losing everything that mattered, dragon shifter Caelen Ashthorne has built his life around duty and control as both Alpha and Fire Chief. With the annual Halloween festival days away, he has enough problems already. Magical glitches. Cursed coins. Protecting a town full of secrets. The last thing he needs is a skeptical outsider with a camera. Even if he can’t take his eyes off her.

When his Stonefire reacts unpredictably around Rona, Caelen insists it’s just magical interference.

But his meddling mother, and the rest of Ashthorne Glen, know better.

A fated mate bond has ignited… and they won’t let Caelen or Rona ignore it.

Fake Dating the Brooding Dragon

Book Two of the Seven Mates for Seven Dragons series

Welcome to Ashthorne Glen, the Dragon Capital of the Northeast.

Waylin Ashthorne needs a fake girlfriend.

Isabelle Wright needs access to a town full of secrets.

Their arrangement should be simple. It isn’t.

Belle has a magical gift for finding lost things. When she’s hired by the powerful Montclair family to go undercover and hunt down their runaway heir, it seems like a simple job. But as cozy and welcoming as Ashthorne Glen is, this small town doesn’t reveal its secrets to strangers.

Dragon shifter Waylin has spent months trying to rebuild the town’s magical wards while fulfilling his responsibilities as the town’s blacksmith. The last thing he needs is his matchmaking-crazed mother throwing every eligible bachelorette at him for the entire Midwinter Festival.

When their paths cross, a fake relationship for the duration of the town’s holiday celebrations seems like the perfect solution.

Neither of them counts on the mistletoe. Or the possibly magical storm that traps them in a secluded cabin. Or the way the whole town is convinced they’re fated mates.

As the festival draws them closer, the line between their act and something real begins to blur. But Belle’s search has already led her to someone Waylin considers family, and the wild magic beneath Ashthorne Glen is growing more dangerous by the day.

When Belle’s deceptions come to light just as the town’s magic starts to unravel, she must choose between the job that has defined her life and the man who might be her mate.
