MEET THE DISASTER PANSEXUAL BATTLE THROUPLE STEALING HEARTS ACROSS THE GALAXY!
In a galaxy where second chances come at a steep price, two old friends find their paths crossing once more, igniting a slow-burning flame of redemption and reconciliation. Years of silence and light-years of distance separate Zaven and Sasha, but fate isn't finished with them yet. As they confront the ghosts of their past and the uncertainties of their future, they'll discover that some bonds can't be broken—not by time, space, or even death itself.
Join them on a journey through a treacherous universe, where old wounds heal slowly, trust is hard-earned, and love might just be the most dangerous mission of all.
THE PHANTOM VENGEANCE SERIES
"Lots of voice, tons of snark, and even more heart."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #1
RAVAGING PHANTOM
Zaven Adhzivian. Former Praetorian. Current liability.
He's been drinking his way across the outer rims long enough to know that vigilante justice doesn't fill the hole she left.
Neither does cheap sake, a borrowed bed, or picking fights with men twice as dangerous as he is. But it keeps his hands busy. And busy hands don't shake.
When his small acts of chaos accidentally get his only remaining friend taken, Zaven has to make a choice: keep his head down, or go in with guns blazing and no backup.
He goes in with guns blazing.
This is where the Phantom Vengeance story begins — not with a romance, but with the broken man at the centre of one. A queer MFM slow burn spanning the whole series, one found family built in the dark, and a love story that takes its time because these people have earned the right to be complicated.
Grief, gunfire, and the people he swore he didn't need.
Book one of the Phantom Vengeance series comes with a HFN-ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore, dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexually explicit material, alcohol.
"This author is the absolute MASTER of the slow burn. If you want yearning, pining, absolute longing… you’ve found the right series."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #2
RECRUITING PHANTOM
Captain Sasha Barrett is on a mission. Murder is the goal. Revenge is the motive.
Ever since Sasha's eyes flickered open to cold laboratory lights, her body has been whole, but something alien lies under her skin. The cybernetics fused with her organic tissue weren't a rescue — they were someone's work.
She's going to find them. Make them pay. And if a body count follows, that's their fault for starting it.
The problem isn't the mission. The problem is she can't run it without someone watching her six.
Her best friend is a SpecOps sniper. She could just ask him. Except... she hasn’t spoken to him in three years. She’s been meaning to call him. Honest!
The longer she keeps him in the dark, the easier it is to avoid finding out if she's still the soldier he once knew.
Turns out three years of silence doesn't survive five minutes in a firefight together.
And Zaven always could see straight through her.
Phantom Vengeance is a queer MFM slow burn, one relationship spanning the whole series. A scrappy crew built on banter and bad odds, a love story that refuses to be rushed, and people complicated enough to earn it.
Adventure, banter, and the galaxy's most inconvenient feelings. HFN ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore (torture, death, blood, dead bodies), dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexually explicit material, drugs & alcohol.
"There is plenty of longing, some truly sweet moments, but the anticipation… whew. Not to mention the absolute hilarity - both from the crew and from the ship’s artificial intelligence program."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #3
REVEALING PHANTOM
Sasha's got 99 problems. Alien horniness just became numbers one and two.
Sasha Barrett has survived worse than this. She just can't remember what, exactly.
The facility took more than her health — it took months she'll never get back, and left behind a body that betrays her in ways she can't hide and won't explain.
The problem is Castin already knows. Zaven's oldest friend, who has spent decades wanting things he won't let himself have — and Sasha is rapidly becoming one of them.
She's not ready for Zaven to see how broken she is. Not ready for what Castin makes her feel. Not ready for any of this.
It's a hot mess. Someone’s getting burned.
Phantom Vengeance is a queer MFM slow burn, one relationship spanning the whole series. A scrappy crew built on bad odds and borrowed time, a love story that refuses to be rushed, and people complicated enough to earn it.
A casino heist, banter, and feelings nobody asked for and nobody's handling. HFN ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore (torture, death), dark content (depression, loss, grief), sexually explicit material (including BDSM), drugs & alcohol.
"The slowest of slow burns is still burning, and also absolutely stomping on my heart guts."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE | BOOK #4
RECLAIMING PHANTOM
Revenge tastes sweet. Family interference tastes like shit.
Sasha finally has the coordinates to the bastards who experimented on her. Payback is within reach.
Instead? She's trapped in hyperspace on a dying ship, a sentient AI with boundary issues, and Cassivia Adhzivian — who has decided that her brother's life choices are a problem she personally needs to fix.
The mission just went from complicated to catastrophic.
Sasha's implants are glitching at the worst possible moments. Castin is one bad night away from saying something that can't be unsaid. And Zaven can't catch a break — his sister came all this way to fix him and she's not leaving until she does.
Some secrets survive being kept. Others eat you alive until there's nothing left to protect.

RUNNING INTO PHANTOM
Lucan Caeltius owes the wrong people money, and today they finally caught up with him.
Cornered in a bar fight he's definitely losing, the last person he expects to save him is a gorgeous stranger with storm-cloud eyes and horns he wants to get his hands on.
Too bad that stranger is Phantom — the assassin the whole city whispers about — and he's not here to flirt. He's here to collect.
Turns out he's about to collect a lot more than he bargained for.
"A love letter to friendship that doesn't need to be romance to wreck you."
PHANTOM VENGEANCE: THE SIDE QUESTS #2
PAPER LANTERNS
Kasia has ninety minutes to get her best friend across the Seventh District before sundown. But getting Sasha Barrett anywhere on time requires a full disinfectant kit, a countdown timer, and the patience of a saint.
Kasia has all three, and she’s going to need them.
It’s the same every year. Kasia herds, Sasha charms, and somewhere in between, Kasia wonders if she’s just the designated adult in Sasha’s life — the one who shows up, cleans her up, and gets her where she needs to be — while everyone else gets the version of Sasha that lingers long after she’s gone. Kasia’s used to that.
What she isn't used to is discovering that, beneath all the chaos, Sasha has been paying attention all along.
PHANTOM VENGEANCE: THE SIDE QUESTS #3
TRAITOR
Captain Zaven Adhzivian has spent eighteen months calling what he feels for the only human on his team loyalty. Discipline. Duty. But watching someone from her old life try to shrink her back down to a category — alien-loving, unrecognisable, other — breaks something loose in him that won't neatly go back into a box.
Sasha's spent four years being fine. Tonight, in front of him, that stops being true.
He can't undo the hurt done to her. All he can do is stay with her — and mean it.
A companion novelette set in the Phantom Vengeance universe — no prior reading required, though longtime readers will feel the weight of what's coming.

ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS
Meeting your future in-laws is hard. Meeting them while your new boyfriend’s father, a Fleet Admiral, lectures you on Fleet history for hours is worse.

A Phantom Vengeance short story about what happens when your boyfriend’s best friend wants you just as badly as your boyfriend does.
"Fun and funny but also like... ouch. I screamed out loud at the ending."
PHANTOM VENGEANCe: THE SIDE QUESTS #5
A VERY BARRETT CHRISTMAS
Coming 2026
Sasha “I’m fine” Barrett would like you to know she is absolutely, completely, totally fine.
She has the receipts for every piece of herself she’s had to replace. She doesn’t need help. Doesn’t need concern. Doesn’t need the unsolicited opinions about her life choices.
She especially doesn’t need Castin and his lilac eyes tracking her every move like he’s already written the eulogy.
Castin is very tired of pretending to believe her.
When Sasha takes a routine job that pays triple the going rate, he's not letting her out of his sight. When the station goes into lockdown, the package turns out to be more than advertised, and someone's already dead — he stops pretending about a lot of things.
Some things are more dangerous than gunfire around a burning Christmas tree.
Turns out Sasha Barrett is one of them.
A Phantom Vengeance Christmas novella. Can be read as a standalone — but the slow burn runs deeper if you've met them before. Part of a queer MFM sci-fi romance series.
Adventure, banter, and two people running out of reasons not to be honest. HFN ending.
Content considerations: graphic language, graphic violence and gore, dark content (depression, loss, grief).
