Most people move to a magical retirement island for peace and quiet-and pickleball.Maya August moved there to disappear.As the assistant director of security for Evermore Island-a secret community where elderly paranormals fade into obscurity-Maya has built the perfect hiding place. Her days consist of magical mishaps, avoiding the clothing-optional tennis courts, and definitely not getting attached to the island's strays (feline or otherwise).Then her boss vanishes. A resident turns up dead. And Maya's carefully constructed refuge begins to crumble.She could handle a murder investigation. She's handled much, much worse. What she can't handle is the HOA president forcing her back to the mainland after five years in self-imposed exile to meet Vale, the mysterious and powerful figure who's claimed jurisdiction over her case.But Maya isn't interested in playing by his rules or anyone else's.Because if Maya can't solve this case and keep her past buried, there are fates far worse than letting a killer walk free.Perfect for fans of morally gray heroines, slow-burn tension, and retirement home chaos meets magical noir, Bound By Fate is the first book in the new Blind Fury urban fantasy series.

In Maya August's world, even your shadow can betray you.When a shadow slips its leash and leaves a body behind, the aging paranormal population of Evermore is on edge-again. But shadows aren't the only things misbehaving.An elderly elf is fading fast. He's stopped eating, losing weight, and spending all his time asleep, lost in vivid dreams of the woman he calls his soulmate, but Maya suspects there's something far more sinister at work.As demonic spirits begin slipping into the realm, she realizes the city of Savannah and its secret island neighbor are standing on the brink of disaster, the kind you can't stop-only survive.To protect the innocent, Maya is forced to team up with Vale again. The demigod is dangerous, infuriating, and has his own agenda. Maya isn't exactly an open book either, and working together means risking secrets she's fought hard to bury.With fate tightening its grip and no way to stop what's coming, Maya must decide what she's willing to sacrifice-because she knows all too well what happens when the darkness isn't kept at bay, and that trust may be the most dangerous bargain of all.Perfect for fans of sharp-tongued heroines, slow-burn alliances, and magical mayhem with a noir edge, Bargain with Fate is the second book in the Blind Fury urban fantasy series-where retirement home chaos meets ancient magic.
