The Collared Trilogy
- 3 full-length novels
- Series HEA
- Enemies to lovers
A possessive vampire prince who secretly wants her. A wolf shifter who would rather bite than kneel. And a gothic academy where wolves are trained to be pets for their vampire masters.
Kira and Nathaniel's story, told across three full-length novels. Spicy payoff in every book, tension that keeps building, and the happily ever after at the end of Book 3. Think Zodiac Academy meets Alchemised: darker, more gothic, and ruled by vampires.
Collared by the Vampire Prince
“On your knees, pet. It’s time to play.”
Captured. Humiliated. Collared by the enemy.
At Volmasque Academy, wolves are taught to be submissive pets for their vampire masters, offering their blood and warming their beds. But Kira would rather bite than kneel. She’s an illegal wolf shifter whose monstrous true form should exist only in nightmares, and the cold-hearted Vampire Prince who captured her knows her secret.
She despises him. He can’t stop thinking about her. And the harder she fights, the harder he falls.
Vampires can own wolves. But fall in love with one? Punishable by death.
For fans of Manacled, Feathers So Vicious and Six Scorched Roses.

Crowned by the Vampire Prince
She was his pet. Now she may be his queen. As the struggle for Volmasque’s throne intensifies, Kira and Nathaniel must decide what they’re willing to lose. The explosive conclusion, and the series HEA.
By the way: some earlier, completely different stories (Plug and Claim and the Collared Duet) once used a few of the same character names. They’re no longer canon, so there’s no need to look for them. The Collared Trilogy was written from scratch, and it’s the only version you need.
Special Editions
Hardbacks with silver foil, sprayed edges and bonus chapters inside, coming to Kickstarter in 2027.
