Coastal Curves Books in Order

Coastal Curves blends urban fantasy, crime drama, and a love of the ocean into a series set once again in Santo Domingo. Here, the focus is on Ryan Mitchell, a disgraced securities trader trying to rebuild a quieter life on the water.

Five years before the events of the first book, Ryan made a catastrophic mistake that cost him his career and reputation. Now he scrapes by running a modest charter operation and doing low-key magical work on the side. He is a sorcerer, but not a flashy one, and he prefers to keep both halves of his life as far from trouble as possible.

Trouble arrives anyway in the form of a red-haired succubus accused of murder. She insists she has been framed and begs Ryan to clear her name before more bodies drop and more demons take an interest. Against his better judgment, and tempted by both professional curiosity and personal attraction, he agrees.

The investigation pulls him into a knot of problems that tie local drug cartels to incursions from the Fae Wilds. Santo Domingo's magical underworld turns out to be far more active than he thought, with smugglers trading in forbidden artifacts, fae factions testing the city's defenses, and federal agents quietly watching the shoreline.

Ryan is not alone. A sharp, practical marine biologist and a cat-shifter working for the Office of Eldritch Affairs become his closest allies, each bringing specialized knowledge and their own complications. Ryan's boat is both refuge and weapon, a place where he can think clearly and a tool for chasing down leads that stretch far beyond the marina.

Coastal Curves slots into the broader Santo Domingo chronology alongside Demon Hunter, Shifter Girls, and Bikini Days, but it stands on its own as a mystery-driven story about second chances. Expect sun-drenched scenes, stormy confrontations, and a hero who would really rather be fixing his rigging than negotiating with beings from another world.
