Tatiana Ashurst has been born to a great destiny, but greatness is never easy to manage. The four books of the Storm Series, a magical Regency romance series, details Tatiana’s life and family as they deal with all that destiny has set out for them and find love along the way.
Storm on the Horizon:
For Tatiana Ashurst, there’s no escaping destiny. But she wants the same thing her twin sister has—the right to choose her own husband. For a woman like Tatiana, however, such a thing can never be permitted.
If Kit Vallentyn could do what he wanted, he’d devote all of his time to overseeing the family estate, but his father insists it’s time for an advantageous marriage—one centered on power and wealth. Reluctantly scouting the new crop of debutantes, he finds himself unaccountably attracted to a mysterious woman who is plain, penniless, ineligible… and utterly enchanting.
The only way to survive the storm looming on the horizon will be to have the courage to shed their secrets and discover their true destinies together.
Bridging the Storm:
A reason to live. It’s all Sir Dagonet wants. He’s been alive for over a thousand years and there is no end in sight thanks to a “gift” from the great wizard Merlin. But now, thanks to an invitation to the home of the high priestess of the Vallen, he might very well be given the opportunity to return Merlin's gift.
A life with reason. Kate Cherrington is trapped at her aunt’s home with no way out and no future to look forward to—until a knight with an incredible secret comes to visit. Now there is hope for Kate. The possibility of a way forward, of a life of her own.
Bridging the gap between what is and what could be might be within their sights, but first, they’ve got to get past one determined to stop them and who has the power to do so.
Magic in the Storm:
Prophecy foretold the coming of one who would be the most powerful of the Vallen. Born male, instead of the female tradition determined he should have been, Morgan Vallentyn is outcast, banished to the forest by his vengeful mother. His magic weakened, and caged by unknown forces, one goal drives him: if he can’t harness his powers by his 21st birthday, another will take his destined place.
Adriana Hayden paints with rare passion and vision. But Regency England is no place for such an unconventional woman. Fleeing from a proposed marriage arranged by her domineering guardian, Adriana escapes to the forest and into the arms of a mysterious man with strange powers. A man who unleashes forces she never suspected existed.
There is magic in the storm they create together, but to fulfill their destinies, each must find the key to unlock the powers in the other and claim the most powerful magic of all.
Through the Storm:
Being judge, jury, and executioner for the magical Vallen people is Kat Havelock’s hereditary duty, but she’s desperate to live a normal life. Jack the Lad, the notorious smuggler, has a single-minded quest to destroy his intolerant father. Destiny has other plans for them both.
