Killing Roses Book 1

Killing Roses Book 1

Ekridah

Valerie’s worst nightmare? Detective Roman stumbling across her private stash of the kinkiest books she owns. Now he’s using every teasing comment and smug grin to make her squirm… and not entirely in a bad way. But the heat between them takes a sharp turn when a dangerous serial killer sets their sights on her. With the case closing in, Valerie finds herself living under Roman’s watchful eye—literally, since they now share a roof. She should be focused on staying alive, but with his chiseled body, relentless protectiveness, and those cuffs at the ready, her imagination won’t behave. Dreams and danger are colliding—and neither is playing fair.

The Marriage Bargain

The Marriage Bargain

Gallina Brindamour

Forced into a marriage meant to secure an alliance, Celia Montgomery has never known tenderness. Cast aside by her own family and treated as little more than a bargaining piece, she dreams of freedom—of a life where she is wanted, not used. But when she is sent to wed a rival laird, her hopes of escape fade into a future she never chose.

Brian Armstrong never imagined himself a husband. Duty, not desire, binds him to the bride he left behind. But when danger threatens his lands, he returns to claim the woman who is his by law—only to find a gentle, spirited wife who flinches at shadows and begs for her freedom.

What begins as obligation shifts the moment Brian sees the truth in Celia’s eyes: the loneliness she hides, the strength she doesn’t know she has, and the quiet courage that stirs something fierce in him.

But the keep holds secrets.
And someone wants Celia gone.

As threats close in and her life hangs in the balance, Brian becomes the one man she can trust. And Celia, who has never known safety, finds herself drawn to the husband she once feared.

Bound by danger and slowly entwined by affection, Celia and Brian must decide whether their marriage is merely an alliance…
or the beginning of a love powerful enough to rewrite both their destinies.

Harvest Flower arrives at her new home—a village completely unknown to her—carrying a past full of loss and a future she never chose. She is determined to stand tall, even when every stare reminds her she is an outsider. Running Wolf welcomes her with steady patience and quiet fire, certain she is the woman he has waited for since the day he first saw her beneath the waterfall. She isn’t ready to trust easily, and he refuses to rush what could grow between them. As danger circles and doubts whisper, she fights to find her place, while he fights to prove she is already home.
