They’ve lived among us for centuries. Hidden. Powerful. Not quite human. And when a Vanguardian finds their one true mate, there’s no mistaking the Zing.
Step into a hidden world where ancient alien bloodlines walk among humans, secret societies guard dangerous truths, and love may be the most powerful force in the universe.
The Vanguardians is an interconnected science-fiction and paranormal romance saga filled with fated mates, morally gray heroes, fierce heroines, forbidden love, found family, ancient secrets, and the unmistakable electric spark known as the Zing—the once-in-a-lifetime connection between two souls destined to find each other.
But destiny doesn’t make love easy.
Across Earth and far beyond it, humans and Vanguardians collide with secret orders, dangerous enemies, ancient betrayals, shifting alliances, and impossible choices about power, privilege, loyalty, and who gets to decide another person’s fate. Some will embrace the bond between them. Some will fight it with everything they have.
The Zing doesn’t particularly care.
Expect high-stakes adventure, slow-burn tension, enemies who become lovers, reluctant soulmates, antiheroes worth rooting for, queer romance, found families, and an expanding universe where characters and mysteries weave from one story into the next.
Each book delivers a central romance and satisfying love story while advancing a larger saga—making The Vanguardians perfect for readers who love discovering a world they can disappear into for book after book.
The heat is a little less explicit than the Beaumonts, but the romance is every bit as intense.
Eleven romances. One interconnected universe. Countless secrets.
And it all begins with a Zing.
