Cosmic Chaos

All great stories are made great because they contain great characters who face great conflict. I often find myself wondering if that’s what my story is meant to be. I’ve got the conflict part down, but I don’t see myself as some heroine in some epic tale, but who knows…maybe I’m just the supporting character in someone else’s great story.

Taming the Bad Boy

Arri Stone

Willow’s new job at the Harper Hotel was supposed to be simple—smile, work hard, avoid trouble. But trouble comes in a dangerously handsome package named Finn. He’s the grumpy, brooding type who thinks he’s untouchable, and she’s the sharp-tongued firecracker who refuses to back down. Their banter burns hotter with every encounter, turning arguments into something neither can resist. Beneath Finn’s bad boy charm hides a man with secrets, and Willow’s not sure if she’s about to melt his walls—or get burned trying. Sparks, sass, and slow-burn chaos are on the menu, and neither of them is ready for how good it tastes.

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.
