The Gardenia Series

Some loves are older than history. Some monsters were human once.

The Gardenia Series is a dark paranormal romance saga rooted in Romanian and Dacian vampire mythology — a world where the supernatural has survived for millennia in the shadows of the modern age, and where one woman’s search for knowledge pulls her into the heart of it.

At the center of every book is a love story that costs something. These are not safe romances. They are slow burns, hard-won, and shadowed by ancient forces that do not yield easily.


The Books

Book 1 — The Waning (written) Nia Ashford follows a folklore trail to Romania and finds Drake Corvin — two thousand years old, dangerous, and entirely unexpected. The moon is waning. Old enemies are waking. And Nia is running out of time to decide how much she is willing to risk.

Book 2 — The Dark Moon (written) The darkness that was gathering in The Waning has arrived. With Nia deeper in Drake’s world than either of them intended, the threats closing in are older than anything she has researched — and far more personal.

Book 3 — The Merging (coming)

Book 4 — The Gathering (coming)

Book 5 — The Reckoning (coming)

Book 6 — The Awakening (coming)


The Gardenia Series is intended for mature readers who love richly researched paranormal worlds, complex heroes, and romance that earns every moment.
