At the Edge of Desire

At the Edge of Desire

Ellie Sanders

Part of the Jewel in the Crown Universe

I am a rare thing. A dangerously rare thing. In a world where kings and warlords have the power to meld the air around them, I alone have the power to seduce, to beguile, to drive men incandescently mad with lust. My species has been hunted, used, and mistreated for so long that no one believes we still exist. And yet I do. When my home is destroyed, I am sold at auction as a spoil of war. No one knows what I am, what my true nature is, and I must do everything in my power to hide it. To conceal it. To keep it from them. Only my secret gets exposed, and the entire world discovers what I am. And now I am caught up in a battle of wills between a sadistic warlord and a king, who might, if I dare to hope, just be my salvation.

Isabell R

Bella finally escapes the rigid life her parents planned for her—and runs straight into a world she never saw coming. As a rookie demon hunter, she joins a rule-breaking squad full of secrets, shadowy magic, and one seriously forbidden spark. It's thrilling. It's terrifying. And it's nothing like the training manuals said. Every step deeper into this twisted new world puts her heart—and her life—on the line. Now Bella’s learning fast: freedom isn’t free, and love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

Lucifer lives in a world of danger, control, and carefully buried secrets, where every move comes with consequences. Rose lives in contrast, soft-spoken and untouched by his violent reality, moving through life with quiet strength and innocence that he never expected to notice. When their paths collide, nothing stays simple for long. 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.

As secrets tighten around them, Eve must choose whether to resist their pull… or surrender to the fire it sparks.

When his twin brother agrees to tutor Rina, Lucas ends up stepping in, pretending to be someone he is not. It should be simple, just a favor and a secret kept. But Rina is not like anyone he has met before. She sees past the attitude, past the walls, and straight into the parts he keeps hidden.

Because the more he pretends, the harder it becomes to ignore what is real—and what could change everything.
