Stef C.R.
A.J. Lexa
Project leader by day, romance author by night, Stef C.R. lives in West Michigan (Grand Rapids) with her husband and not one, not two, but three cats.
When she's not working or writing stories, she spends her time reading fantasy and romance, endlessly cheering on the Red Wings, Charles LeClerc, and listening to Noah Kahan.
A.J. Lexa puts ideas to paper from the lake haven suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, where she lives with her husband and daughter. When not reading or writing, A.J. enjoys lake life, collecting fairy figurines and binge streaming her favorite shows. After 15+ years of advertising for national and regional brands, A.J. decided the stories in her mind could longer be condensed into sixty second commercials. They needed more magic. And kisses.

It’s hard to be a woman in the NHL, especially in one of the most hated positions. Olivia’s dream is to be a referee, and to get there she’ll need to work hard, stay focused, and be free of any distractions, especially ones with blue eyes and easy smiles that won’t leave her alone.
This might be Robbie’s last season of professional hockey and he wants it to be his best one yet. He’s well liked amongst his teammates, crew, and officials, but there’s a new face among the crowd that he can’t forget about. Referee #13. She’s feisty and prickly and wants nothing to do with him. So naturally, Robbie is determined to befriend her.
When the line between friendship and love starts to blur, they both need to consider what giving in might mean for them. Will distance and work get in the way, or can they compromise and find a way to be together?
The Love Penalty is the first book in the Grand Marquee Manticores series of interconnected standalones.
The zodiac signs aren’t just lines drawn amongst the stars. They’re real.
A century ago, the Zodiacs were condemned to one day reincarnate onto Earth. Stripped of their immortality, magic and astrological memories. Their crime? A prophecy foretelling the rise of one of their own alongside the God of Darkness.
Reclusive Reyna Peréz has never belonged anywhere. Which suits her fine, considering the deadly abilities she’s possessed since birth. When a night out with her only friend goes horribly wrong, Reyna is rescued by a band of strangers claiming to be the long lost Zodiacs.
And she’s one of them.
Reyna soon finds herself bound for the celestial island of her origins and into the arms of fellow Zodiac and cocky con man, Brax Riggs. Reyna lives in isolation so others might stay alive. Brax has spent his mortal existence running from those who’d rather see him dead, and after a lifetime of shutting others out, both are hungry to let someone in.
But the more Reyna uncovers about her own disturbing connection to the Dark God, the more lines blur between who she is and who she’ll need to become. Forbidden passions will be tested. Alliances annihilated. And the difference between light and darkness, shattered forever.
