Shadow and Shimmer

Shadow and Shimmer

by Corinthe Davies

Born to opposing kingdoms, Prince Ian and Princess Sophilia were destined to unite their realms through marriage. But when tragedy tears apart their engagement, their kingdoms descend into bitterness and silence. Years later, fate forces them back into each other’s orbit. Ian has become colder, sharper, and far more dangerous than the prince she once knew. Yet beneath the resentment and painful memories, the connection between them still burns. Caught between political unrest, ancient magic, and the ghosts of their past, Ian and Sophilia must confront the truth of what tore them apart before history repeats itself.

The Devil's Rose

The Devil's Rose

by Tina rose hunt

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.

by VitaMia

Sun. Sea. Peace. That was the plan. Instead, after an accident, I save a stranger’s life and discover that werewolves actually exist. Before I can even begin to process that information properly, a ridiculously attractive Alpha informs me that I’m his fated mate. Honestly, to this day I’m still not sure what was worse: the existence of werewolves or Amaro’s personality. And if he thinks I’m going to let him boss me around just because fate supposedly decided we belong together, he’s about to get a very unpleasant surprise.
