New Releases - Gambit, Capture & Endgame

What if James Bond was a woman?

Shadows & Secrets is a spy romance series crafted for the female gaze, starring morally grey men who certainly complicate things — especially if you're a badass female spy.

The thrilling espionage adventures start with Bishop, a cool MI6 agent who refuses to take no for an answer. Originally a graphic novel I published in 2010, this adaptation develops the story into full-length novels with no illustrations — just pure, unfiltered angst, action and spice.

Ready to take on your mission? The books can be read as stand-alone so it doesn't really matter where you start...

#1 Bishop's Gambit

Bishop's Gambit is where Bishop first encounters Helix, her new partner who "looks and tastes like a blond demigod" (her words!). Plot twist: He may be a double agent. Available now on Amazon/KU.

#2 Bishop's Capture

In Bishop's Capture, Bishop gets in big trouble and Helix mounts a rescue. Does he have a thing for damsels in distress? ("Can you blame him? Look at her!"). Psst, this one is my personal favourite. Available now on Amazon/KU.

#3 Bishop's Endgame

Finally, Bishop's Endgame is where Bishop has to decide what she really wants out of her life with Helix. It's poignant, gut-wrenching and relatable. "This was everything. He was her endgame." Available now on Amazon/KU.

#4 Nox's Draw

What if the world's most elusive thief... steals your heart? A new generation of spies, thieves and kings coming Fall 2025.

The graphic novel that started it all

A decade and a half ago, I wrote, illustrated, and published a two-part graphic novel series about two British special agents in Hong Kong. With the script already in hand, I thought, why not adapt it into a novel? Two months later, I found myself editing the first book, and soon after, I was deep into writing the sequel—and eventually a third installment—to complete the saga. The sequels expand on the original characters, following them as they age and evolve, with threads of my own life experiences woven into the details. This is truly a labour of love... and lust... and action and angst.
