Bound by Fate Book 1: Flame and Fang

NGVandivert

After ten years on the run, Mara can’t escape the one thing she refuses to believe in: her fated mate. Royce, a powerful werewolf, has always been impossible, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. When fate—or something far more primal—throws them together, Mara is forced to confront the pull she’s fought for years. Thirst, humor, and a spark that won’t quit draw them closer, but trust isn’t given freely. Can Mara let herself be caught, or will her walls keep love and danger at bay forever?

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

Taryn Tary

"I’ll be damned if I fall for your charms, fae…”

Ryke, the fierce king of dragons, wants blood. A faerie killed one of his own, and vengeance is all he craves. So when a faerie burning for the same revenge stumbles into his territory, he seizes her as his prisoner. Deals are struck, magic seals their fates, and suddenly enemies find themselves bound tighter than either expected.

Their every clash is fire and fury—a dance of blades, wings, and words sharp enough to cut. But hate has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous when desire sparks in its place. As danger closes in, Ryke and his unwilling captive must decide: cling to revenge, or surrender to the fate that binds them… even if love turns out to be the deadliest risk of all.

What begins as curiosity quickly turns into something far more consuming, as protection, obsession, and desire start to blur together in ways neither of them can fully control. But in a world built on shadows, even the smallest connection can become dangerous. And Lucifer, for all his control, is about to learn that some feelings do not follow orders.

But the more evidence she gathers against him, the more the twisted, dangerously hot mob boss looks at her like he wants to devour her whole. And the closer she gets to Hannibal, the more she wants to be devoured.
