Cryptid Keeper Series- Book 3 In Loving Embrace
Noah Murphy’s life was turned upside down when he became the human vessel and shifter for the Beithir; a powerful and dangerous cryptid that he must now keep under control. Struggling with the bond and the serpentine power that pulses within him, Noah is trying to make sense of the beast inside while also grappling with his growing feelings for Evelyn Brooks. Something about her draws him in like nothing he’s ever felt before.
Evelyn, a determined and sharp-witted lawyer, has come to Scotland under the guise of a vacation, but she’s not there to relax. A high-stakes lawsuit against a powerful trust firm back in the U.S. is pushing her to stay off the grid. When Evelyn’s informant is killed and the dangerous owners of a wealthy firm discover her role in exposing them, she must go into hiding. Determined to protect her new friends and love interest, Eve keeps the truth hidden—until it’s too late. Now Noah must race against time to save her.
With the Beithir cryptid awakened and furious, Noah must fight not only to control the powerful beast within but to track down the men who took Evelyn. A love neither of them expected is now their only hope, but can Noah tame the beast inside while fighting to protect the woman he’s falling for? Or will the storm of secrets and danger swallow them whole?
In this heart-pounding, paranormal romance, love, loyalty, and the fierce power of the Beithir collide in a fight for survival that will test the limits of everything Noah and Evelyn hold dear.

Book 1- Scotland
When Harper Evans meets the mysterious and brooding Luke Campbell, she’s drawn to him in ways she can’t explain. But Luke harbors a dark secret—he’s not entirely human. Haunted by a blood bound promise, Luke believes he’s incapable of love and too dangerous to be with anyone, especially someone as warm as Harper.
Harper, however, is no stranger to pain. Betrayal and savagery left her heart and face scarred, as she’s spent every day since running from the monster of her past. The last thing she wants is to fall for someone who can’t offer her the love and safety she craves. But Harpers pull is undeniable, and every moment she shares with Luke leaves her craving more.
As their connection deepens, Harper finds herself torn between fear and desire, knowing that Luke’s cryptid form could shatter everything. Meanwhile, Luke must confront the truth of his heart—can he risk loving a woman who deserves a future, even if he believes he’s too broken to offer it?
In this steamy, paranormal romance filled with need and suspense, two souls collide in a wave of passion, fear, and redemption. Will their love survive the storm, or will the dark secrets bound to their hearts tear them apart forever?

Book 2- Scotland
In Loving
Darkness
Alysa Campbell has lived in isolation for years, hidden away in a cabin deep in the woods, away from the world she once knew. Saddled with the bond as the human vessel to the banshee cryptid, she carries the grim ability to foretell death—an unrelenting gift that fills her with despair. A bond that her mother fell victim to. Alysa is determined to keep her distance from humanity as her presence only brings death, leaving her with no place in anyone’s life.
Longtime friend and family doctor, Keith Miller, knows better. He always cared for Alysa, his feelings for her growing beyond the bond of friendship over the years. He also knows the darkness she carries and refuses to see her slip into despair, as her mother did. Keith believes she deserves more than a life alone, even if it throws everything she has worked so hard to suppress into chaos.
As Keith and Alysa struggle with their undeniable chemistry, a more immediate threat lurks in the shadows. An ancient cryptid, bound by no human, is hunting them both with a ferocity fueled by hatred for humanity. Its only goal? To consume them, to wipe out the last of the humans who dare to trap cryptids in a human form.
Alysa and Keith must face not only the dangers that hunt them but the growing love they can no longer deny. As their hearts collide in a battle for survival, will love be enough to protect them from the beast that seek to tear them from their existence? Or will the weight of the shifter bond prove too much for them to survive?
