Harvest Flower

Harvest Flower

Chavon Powell

"I didn't want to marry you. I was forced into this. Don't expect much from me I am not skilled in wifely duties." Harvest Flower talked more to the horse than to Running Wolf, but her point was clear.

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.

Kingsley's Bride

Kingsley's Bride

S. S. Sahoo

"I could not breathe.

That image, Lord Kingsley’s face in the moonlight, red-streaked steel in his hand, and those cold, terrifying eyes, was burned into me.

What had I just witnessed?

Who was this man?

And what secrets did the Kingsley Estate keep buried beneath its manicured grounds and placid lake?"

Scarlett never dreams of marrying a man like Lord Darius—cold, unreadable, and carrying secrets darker than midnight. But when her sister vanishes and jilts him at the altar, Scarlett must step into her place as his bride. Now trapped in a marriage she never wanted, she can’t ignore the mysteries swirling around the Kingsley estate—or the chilling night she saw Darius with blood on his blade. With whispers of betrayal, long-buried family secrets, and a sister who may not have left by choice, Scarlett is caught in a dangerous game. Yet the more she clashes with her forbidding husband, the harder it becomes to tell where fear ends and desire begins.

“If I do it, will you finally shut up?” I ask.

Alexa claps happily. “A million times, yes!”

Little did Aria know what she signed up for. In the Hunger Games of love, can she come out the victor?

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?
