The chemistry between them is impossible to ignore, no matter how hard they try to bury it beneath sharp suits, witty banter, and professional distance.

She finds herself in a bit of trouble when her pack is attacked by a wolf that is hell-bent on killing every witch he comes across.

Shades of Fire

Shades of Fire

Daphne Anders

"I stood in the wake of my destruction; satisfied, pleased but forced with an internal longing. Her. I couldn’t separate my mind from the thought of her, even in war. And I knew I was doomed, cursed with a single weakness, surrounded with longing, not even content in my violence any longer. And the Dragon of Ruin, would suffer ruin itself, by the hands of a delicate creature, with no real power except the power of desire."

King Cerion, the fearsome Dragon of Ruin, thrives on chaos and destruction. Feared by his enemies and isolated by his power, he believes he is untouchable—until an innocent princess shatters his resolve. Princess Kira’s quiet strength and unyielding compassion awaken something Cerion thought long buried: the capacity for desire and, perhaps, redemption. But as their worlds collide, Kira must navigate the dangerous line between saving a monster and becoming consumed by him. Can love tame the Dragon of Ruin, or will his fiery wrath consume them both?

As Yehseeka navigates his tribal world, temptation comes from every corner—from the stoic king, his darkly magnetic brother, and a third who hides more than scars. She resists, but desire is a language of its own. Just as she starts to find power in connection, her past comes roaring back with a threat only blood can answer. Now, love, lust, and legacy collide under the tribal stars.

When Blaise gets a mysterious letter welcoming her to the Black Sun Academy, she has no idea she’s stepping into a world of magic, danger, and secrets her parents never told her. Suddenly, she’s surrounded by charmers with trouble written all over them—two magnetic twin brothers, a sinfully gorgeous vampire who shouldn’t even be alive, and one dangerously tempting professor. But when Blaise learns her parents may be tied to the tragedy that destroyed the vampire’s family, the truth becomes far more personal—and far more dangerous. Between whispered spells and forbidden glances, she’ll have to decide who to trust before the past consumes them all.

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.
