Elle Parker
In 2023, Elle began writing again while processing grief and giving voice to pain she’d repressed for a long time. She found she had a lot of stories inside her, all shaped by her experiences as a mother, Registered Nurse, and female with ADHD and—what she hopes is very lovable—anxiety.Elle’s characters are flawed, tiny pieces of her soul, and her stories often involve unpacking trauma, finding her characters’ voices, and reclaiming the freest, truest versions of who they are. Elle’s writing journey has been very much the same for her own life. Her stories vary in genre, sub-genres, and tropes, because she couldn’t pick just one. But luckily, 2023 was also the year Elle Parker learned she didn’t always have to choose.

The Viper's Lady (Camelot Court #2)
Elle Parker
The Viper’s Lady is second in a four-book series and ends on a cliffhanger. It is a slow burn, modern-day retelling, loosely based on the legend of King Arthur. Aspects of the lore will be layered throughout the series, but it is not a fantasy romance. The FMC will eventually end up with more than one love interest, and the ultimate goal is for all the characters to live and love without limits.

This is a world of secrets. Nothing is as it seems, and book one asked readers "Pledge with Trust." To make it to the next phase of The Quest, one must Live with Honor…
~~~~~~~~~~
I thought it was a joke.
Twenty-five thousand dollars for thirty days at my school’s elite fraternity, belonging to a so-called Knight who betrayed my trust, while the King charmed me with the promise of answers.
I returned to Camelot Court with an axe to grind and one card to play. Ready to face the next challenge before leaving with the grand prize. But then, fate pairs me with the one Match that fills me with dread.
Still, I joined The Quest to win it,
And nothing—no one—will get in the way of that.
The Honor Challenge won’t be an easy feat. Resisting temptation tests my inner strength and my limits, turning everything I thought I knew on its head.
As hidden secrets slowly reveal themselves, dark threats and unseen enemies emerge from the shadows. And I’m forced to face the truth…
The biggest risk has always been honoring what my heart truly wants.
And The Quest is a dark, dangerous game that we can’t stand to lose.
