So, it's Valentine's Day and honestly, I would be wasting an opportunity here if I didn't spend today talking about the ships and romantic pairings in my books.
Now, full disclosure, I'm pretty sure I have every one of my (published) books represented here except for My Time in Amar however I do not (as of yet) have any art done from MTiA, and also there is some contention on who is actually the OTP of MTiA, whether it is Phelsea or Chelston. So instead of tipping my hat and showing which one is the true ship of that book I'm just going to skip that. In a short while A Season of Subterfuge, Courtiers, and War Councils will be published, and you can finally know which is the true pairing. Until then, I shall remain mum on the subject.
Anyway, speaking of Amar, we have our first pairing...
Alicia and Dante from A Certain Sort of Madness
She's a starry-eyed dreamer, a powerful mage, and innocent and naive in the ways of the world.
He's her imaginary friend, a daring huntsman, and a very cynical—not to mention sarcastic—person.
Alice and the Mad Hatter, it was something that was never meant to be. And yet Alicia feels an unwavering loyalty to the boy from her memories. Dante would just settle for them making it out of this unscathed.
Jaye and Ravven from Of Gold and Iron
He's a solitary faerie from the Autumn Court.
She's a Guardian, a sworn enemy of the faeries.
He needs to make her capable of killing his kind.
Enemies to begrudging accomplices to... possibly something more? Only if Jaye can look past her grudges and Ravven his vanity. Oh, and if they can survive all of the lies, half-truths, and binding oaths between them.
Elisabeth and Cedric from Winter Cursed
She needs an ally not a liability.
And the son of her sworn enemy would certainly be a liability.
Especially when he is capable of waking her from a cursed sleep with "true love's kiss".
The princess of snow and a dark prince are not a popular match. And yet somehow the exiled son of her father's vanquished foe is the only person Elisabeth can trust.
Yvette and Luk from A Winter Dark and Deadly
A renegade witch and a loyal guardsman.
He's supposed to be making certain that she doesn't stab anyone in the back.
He just forgot to guard his heart in the process.
Yvette is certainly no typical princess, but Luk is a very typical guardsman. He can't abide the breaking of the law, and yet he cannot seem to shake his infatuation with this girl and her forbidden magic.
Taliz and Ylfa from A Tale of Gods and Glory
They're just partners.
Nope.
No chemistry to see here.
So, move along.
He's an oblivious politician and she's a reclusive werewolf, it never would have worked out anyway.
Azern and Magnar from Between Gods and Demigods
Sorcery is illegal, but fortunately, Azern has never been one to follow the rules.
Magnar on the other hand...
She's just trying to save his life. He's more interested in following the straight and narrow. Can there be a future for this sorceress and magicker despite all the lies between them?
Eirik and Sassa from Rage Like the Gods
He's handsome and charming and he knows it.
She knows it too.
A bard and lady. A farmer's son and an orphan. A thief and a knight. Is love enough to unite these two despite their differences?

Thyre and Vrom from Rage Like the Gods
A former bandit turned assassin.
A soft-hearted werewolf.
No man can tame this harsh warrior, but Vrom isn't looking to tame her. He just wants to share his life with her. And for a woman with no home, family, or allegiances that offer may be too tempting an offer to turn down.
Meruna and Fell from Rage Like the Gods
Two promising magical students.
She has the raw powers, and he has the knowledge.
Now their professor is forcing them work together on all their assignments.
Meruna is wealthy and entitled, Fell may be smart but he has no right even being there. These two would much rather be rivals, but now they must rely on each other to keep their grades up.
Dagmy and Hakon from Rage Like the Gods
An exile turned vampire.
A magically inclined mercenary.
He's running from his future; she's trying to redeem her past.
But they're going to need each other to make it in this world.
These two have very little in common, Dagmy is a stoic warrior and Hakon doesn't know how to shut his mouth. They don't necessarily get along, but together they are unbeatable.
Neltruna and Aernold from Folly of the Gods
She's a thief hoping to buy a better life.
He has a master plan.
Falling in love is too inconvenient...too messy.
These two are both orphans turned thieves. Neltruna is seeking a family since she never had one. Aernolf is determined to never open up his heart again. Best to focus on the business and then part ways when they're both fabulously wealthy.
