Jordan writes for the ones who’ve never quite seen themselves in the stories they love. Her books are rich with yearning, slow-burn tension, morally complex characters, and fantasy worlds that ache as much as they enchant.
Writing sapphic fiction set in a queer-normative world that allows LGBT people, people of color, and those with disabilities to go on adventures, fall in love, and make friends along the way. Jordan Michelle offers an escape from the incessant reminder of the bigotry we face as marginalized people in our daily lives, while celebrating the beauty of queer love and joy.
As the last remaining water goddess, Lorelei is forced to save her best friend from the all-powerful Guardian King by reuniting with the only woman who has ever been able to capture her heart. She finds herself falling the moment she sees the powerful charmer, Ash, whose ability to manifest Lorelei’s every desire consumes her body and mind, strengthening Lor’s abilities as one of the most powerful beings in the world.
Ash doesn’t expect the love of her life to return to her decades after their first relationship, but when Lorelei seeks her out again, she finds herself lost in the beautiful, fiercely independent woman who has lingered in her mind and her heart since they parted. Together, they must forge a dangerous physical and emotional bond that will strengthen them both for the effort to defeat the king, and to save humanity from his ruthless invasion.
When Ellis Avalon walks into her office, private detective Lilith Covington immediately dislikes the immensely handsome, charming stranger who wants to hire her for an undercover job at a yearly party for the magical elite on Ellis’s own private island. Ellis believes that she is being sabotaged by her friends — the party guests — and that Lilith is the only one capable of figuring out who is not to be trusted.
Fascinated by the beautiful detective she has vetted for months, Ellis knows that there is no other person she can trust for the job other than Lilith. But Ellis holds a secret about the magnetic but impossible woman she has chosen to pose as her fiancée at the party, one that will put her further at odds with the detective while putting dozens of party guests in danger of a fiery end.
Camilla is the princess of the kingdom of Amoura, the daughter of a brutal human king who has harnessed the power of magical beings to conquer and extinguish his enemies. She is sheltered from the reality of her father’s rule; carefree, light-hearted, until the castle is taken over by a dangerous being with the power of mind control who has plans to turn the whole kingdom against Camilla before turning it against the world.
Camilla’s sworn protector, Aella, has been at her side since they were children. Irascible and commanding, even the stoic warrior cannot control herself when the desire that has been blossoming between she and her princess becomes all-consuming and impossible to ignore. But Aella has a secret that puts her at odds with her best friend, one that will push them apart despite their growing love. To save Amoura from utter destruction, she will have to reveal who she truly is, and risk losing her princess and the kingdom altogether.
These stories don’t just entertain — they stay with you. Here’s what fellow readers felt, loved, and couldn’t stop thinking about.
“Blood and Embers is even better than Tides (somehow)! The sexy, fiery tension between Lilith and Ellis is palpable as you read along and their chemistry really look my breath away. This book checks off all my favorite boxes: romantic, SEXY, gay, and funny as hell. Every side character is important and well-developed, and I found myself falling in love with each one as I got to know them better. The representation is refreshing. I cannot say enough good things about this book.”
“If you love lesbians and want more fantastical lesbian heroes, this is the book for you. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every moment of the main characters’ interactions with one another. Beyond that, though, Jordan has created a cast of characters that are complex, lovable, and easy to empathize with, even the evil characters. Every single character has a personality, interests, flaws, talents, etc. There’s also a brilliant and ethically sensitive pattern of representation of all kinds. READ THIS BOOK AND THEN READ IT AGAIN!!”
“Some authors go above and beyond. Michelle is one of them. You know
how skilled a writer must be to make me go ‘hey, this is real good!’ after
lining up style and structure I’m not fond of as a rule? Yup.
Spotless grammar and syntax, excellent balance between prose and
dialogues, with an eye on the latter to make the story flow. Rhythm is
everything, or a good part of it, and Michelle is well aware of this.”
“World building in romance can sometimes take me out of the story. These characters and their world are full of life. The ensemble cast are not set pieces but expertly utilized props to move and shape the story. It’s also hot as all get out. The tension! Caught myself wondering if people could tell I was blushing, but I couldn’t put it down. Ash and Lorelei are a one of a kind romance.”
