You & Only You
Book One in The Soulbound Series
You & Only You is a dark paranormal romance where desire and destiny collide. In a world of secrets, danger, and supernatural forces, forbidden attraction ignites a slowburn romance with high-stakes emotional tension. Every choice could have deadly consequences, and trust is as fragile as the hearts involved.
Blending enemies-to-lovers tension, fated lovers, and a morally grey MMC with “touch her and die” energy, this story is perfect for readers who crave angst, obsession, and love that bites back. Book One of The Soulbound Series delivers emotional intensity, passion, and romantic suspense that will keep you turning pages.
His touch will ignite your soul, but his secrets could destroy you. Would you walk away—or risk everything for a love that won’t let go?

Ruby McDonall isn’t special—at least, not on the surface. With high school ending and college looming, she’s drifting, trapped in the suffocating weight of loneliness and the trauma of witnessing her mother’s brutal murder. Her world is small. Quiet. Empty.
Then she meets Isaac. Enigmatic, impossibly attractive, and just the right amount of cocky bad boy to get under her skin, Isaac draws Ruby in like no one else. There’s something about him—a dangerous, magnetic pull that she can’t quite shake. Isaac is no knight in shining armour, and Ruby knows better than to believe in fairytales.
As their connection deepens, Ruby is pulled into a world that forces her to question everything—love, trust, even survival itself. Isaac isn’t who he seems, but he’s the escape Ruby’s been craving, even if his presence brings more danger than she can handle. Falling for him could ruin her—but walking away might be impossible.

Book Two in The Soulbound Series
Six years after Isaac's disappearance, Ruby has pieced together a fragile but steady life with Noah-the man who pulled her from the darkness and showed her she could love again. His love is safe, steady, human-everything she thought she wanted. But when Isaac returns, determined to claim what he left behind, the truth Ruby has fought to bury resurfaces. Their Soulbond is still there-intense, undeniable, and dangerously consuming.

Six years ago, Isaac walked away from Ruby McDonall—the only woman he’s ever loved. The one fate bound him to.
After surviving the brutal trials of The Order and clearing his name, Isaac vowed to stay away. But watching Ruby from afar, seeing her build a life with someone else, has broken him.
Now, he’s back. Uninvited. Unapologetic.
Still the same arrogant bastard she remembers.
***
Ruby has everything she once craved: peace, success, and Noah. Her life is quiet.
Predictable. Safe. Human.
Isaac belongs to a past Ruby has worked hard to bury.
But when he walks back into her world, he reignites a fire she thought she’d extinguished.
***
Isaac has given himself six months.
Six months to make Ruby fall in love with him again.
To prove that some bonds—especially Soulbonds—can’t be broken.
And if he can’t make her believe it? He’ll disappear—for good.
