The Lost Princess

The Lost Princess

Holly Prange

He’s a wolf. A massive, fearsome wolf standing atop the ridge, his long fur whipping about him in the frenzied wind. He turns his glowing eyes to me, and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

I watch his teeth bare in a furious snarl.

I should be frightened. No, I should be terrified. But instead, a feeling of calm I haven’t experienced in years washes over me.

I stop running, my eyes glued to the wolf, now mere feet away from me.

“Hello, little mate,” says his voice in my head.

And then, with a thrill of terror, I watch the beast jump right at me, claws flashing.

When Everly is sold by her aunt to Lord Vlad Lacroix, she is forced to fight for her life in a seedy underworld of monsters thirsty for her virginal blood. Everything changes, however, the day she crosses paths with Alpha Logan. Can he save her from being sold yet again? Or is it already too late?

The Marked One

K. Dillon

Willow has spent her life being underestimated, and she is very tired of it. Small, loud, and unable to shift, she hardly fits the image of power, especially after moving into the territory of the strongest Lycan pack in England. Life under a cold, commanding Alpha is anything but easy, particularly when he has no patience for chaos, weakness, or sharp tongues. Willow happens to be all three, and she refuses to shrink for anyone. Their clash of wills sparks tension neither of them expects, and the air between them grows charged as danger creeps closer. As shadows gather and loyalties are tested, something powerful stirs where defiance meets desire. Can chaos become strength?

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.

No one expects Ella to volunteer. With nothing but instinct and a fire she can’t explain, she steps into a world of dark magic, ancient secrets, and a prince who may be more than legend. Power trembles at her fingertips, but the cost of touching it might be her heart. Or worse. In a kingdom where fate bites as hard as fangs, Ella isn’t just fighting for a crown — she’s fighting to become something more than anyone imagined.
