Initiation

A romance in a futuristic setting.

Arie Vanderbilt has always lived on the edges of the popular crowd, which suits her just fine. As she comes of age, Arie's mother wants her to make more connections with the Selari elite. Arranging an invitation for a week-long trip to a lakeside estate, she forces Arie to attend.

Jonathon Hawksmoor is not what her mother had in mind. Dangerous, hot, and hard in every sense, Johnny has his own dark secrets he doesn't share.

On the brink of a galactic military career, he's ready to get the hell off this rock and away from the asshole social climbers his brother hangs around. In one week, he'll be gone.

Spending that week with a pretty, naïve young woman should have been the perfect send-off. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to walk away.

As their story unfolds, readers are taken on a journey back in time two hundred years earlier. Evin Montgomery, the first King of Selari, is at the center of a power struggle to seize control of the war-torn planet. Can his mother's plot succeed, or will Evin's story become part of the forgotten past?
