Please note: Command the Tides is currently out of stock, but it will be returning to shelves soon with a brand-new cover and under a new publisher!
Enter Midvalen, a world of kings and kingdoms, princes and pretenders.
In the Kingdom of Miranov, Taya seems to have it all: she owns her own store, she’s engaged to be married to a handsome man, and she’s a success. But the truth is more complicated than anyone could guess. Her engagement is a sham, an agreement of convenience. Taya thinks things have become complicated when she realizes that she’s fallen in love with Darrin, something she never planned to do. But what’s worse is discovering that her simple sailor boy is actually the crown prince of neighboring Sephria, and his usurping Uncle is trying to kill him.
When Darrin shows up at her door, bleeding and fleeing assassins, Taya is drawn into a complicated mess of politics, fighting, and broken hearts. Her allegiances will be questioned, her love will find a new course, and she’ll do it all while trying to stay alive, save the day, and guard her heart.

“This is set in an interesting fictional land with its own religion and laws. Cleverly conceived in this respect, with a strong heroine set against a medieval-type backdrop that would be traditionally patriarchal and an interesting twist in the main romance. Also incorporates secondary romances that nicely round out this love story.” – Rumer Haven
“Nicely done story. Great read! I really enjoyed this story. Great plot, very descriptive and well written characters. Good job!” – Alicia Janowitcz
Note: Command the Tides was rereleased in 2025, after heavy edits. The second edition has a whole new magic system, some sexy open-door romance, and a villain you can sink your teeth into.
