The Stories

A Relic of Magic and Gold

She’s accused of stealing a powerful relic. He’s helping to clear her name—or is he?

Evangeline is thrilled to kick off her spellcaster career protecting powerful relics in Rome, Italy - until she's accused of stealing one of the dangerous relics under her protection. Forced to use her magic to escape, Eve runs into private investigator Raph Smith. Hiring the sexy PI seems like her best - only - option to clear her name and stay out of a Knights Templar dungeon.

Raph Smith always gets his missing person - though the reason why is a closely guarded secret. So finding a lost trinket box should be easy money. And while accepting multiple clients for the same job is a big N.O. in the PI world, when you’re being blackmailed, subject to a magical binding contract, and one client is a thief, you do what you must.

But the relic has a deadly secret too … and those who know the truth will do anything to find the artifact, including killing everyone who stands in their way.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A Relic of Magic and Gold had literally all the elements I love in a book: magic, romance, action, mystery" ~ Amazon review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I adore this author and this is my favourite series of hers. Hodgson’s witches are divine and her ability to build a world is breathtaking. I’ve read everything she’s written and wait with high anticipation for more. ~ Amazon review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is such an engaging read with lots of action and twists and turns, side characters you love just as much as the leads, and a slow burn romance with lots of banter (and a very swoon-worthy hero). Such a great start to a series!! ~ Amazon review

A Relic of Magic and Myrrh

Death comes for everyone. But you shouldn’t have to see your own.

Isadora Smith’s mother left her one gift - the sight of the future. When a vision of a missing powerful relic brings Isa into the world of the Templar Knights, she’s determined to prove her gift’s purpose.

Grayson, the icy, dangerous, Templar Knight in charge of the relic of myrrh, has zero time for a civilian on the team—especially his best friend’s little sister. But when Isa claims her visions can locate the myrrh, he grudgingly agrees. Because retrieving the deadly relic is his only priority - if it falls into the wrong hands, the entire human world could be destroyed.

But when their secret investigation turns deadly, and Gray and Isa are forced into a fake relationship to maintain their cover, Isa discovers the Templar’s sizzling side. And she makes the most of the opportunity, because when her secrets unravel, Gray will never want to see her again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow just finished 2nd book in series and it’s even better than the first. So action packed I was afraid to put the book down in case I missed something. ~ Amazon review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect for lovers of banter, paranormal romance, standalone within a series. This is my first read by Hodgson and I absolutely enjoyed it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a series of stand-alone fantasy romances, which I love! Sometimes I want a fantasy but don’t want to commit to a series or to cliffhangers. So this book was exactly what I needed 🙌 also it was SO FREAKING GOOD 😱 like, I loved the first stand-alone in this series, and it was a five star. But THIS BOOK. This book was even better. All the stars. It combined some of my fave tropes…fake dating, grumpy x sunshine, best friend’s little sister…with fantasy and magic and it was a DELIGHT. ~ Amazon review

A Relic of Magic and Frankincense

Two years undercover. One relic. No distractions.

Templar Knight Cynane Montbard is on a mission, and nothing – not love whisperers, hellbeasts, or even the sexiest daemon this side of hell – will stand in her way.

Rohan the Red, the deadliest daemon earthside, has been tasked with preserving the balance between hell and earth. But one mesmerizing, stubborn, kick-ass high priestess is in his way.

Cyn has a strict no-daemon romance policy, especially for rogues like Rohan—except now they must join forces to succeed. But as their chemistry ignites, and their emotions tangle in a web of deception, how can they overcome secrets, lies, and the danger stalking their every move? Because when the power of the relic of frankincense is revealed, their biggest risk won’t be love—it will be death for every soul in the human world.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh my can I give more than 5 stars please??? This series is the absolute best and I loved every word of it ~ Amazon review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a way to round out the trilogy! This book has everything and more. Action of epic proportions, magic, mystery and enough steam to curl your toes. Cyn and Rohan are complex characters with everything to prove. Their chemistry is off the charts. Both characters own this book and the story, with wonderful appearances from characters from Books 1 and 2. But the star performances might just belong to the hellbeasts reining havoc on the human realm. So many twists and turns - a sensational climax to an excellent series (in more ways than one!) ~ Amazon review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is an epic conclusion to the series. I loved every second and couldn't put it down.
The unique characters fight epic battles against the worst creatures from hell.
A lot of unexpected turns make this action/adventure/romance/fantasy a nail-biting experience.
Another recommend blockbuster, I'd gladly give six stars. ~ Amazon review
