When the Night Falls: A Day At Court

When the Night Falls: A Day At Court

Nureyluna

It’s been five years since we took over the throne of France.

Every day we’ve ruled, my love for Theodore has only grown stronger.

But lately, the pressures of royal life have kept us apart.

It’s driving me crazy. I can’t stop thinking about him.

His sculpted muscles. His knife’s edge jawline. His delicious cock.

I’ve started pining for any way to get some one-on-one time.

So when mass protests erupt throughout Paris, I seize my opportunity.

I’m going to finally claim some time alone with my king.

A “When The Night Falls” novella.

Midika Crane

I take the paper my best friend Alexa shoves in my face. A picture of the Alpha of Love is printed there in color. He looks dashingly handsome, despite the things everyone knows he does. He’s desperate to find his mate, so he’s having a competition to see who will become the next Luna.

“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?

But this isn't the school she remembers. Students are dying. Shadows whisper her name. Everyone says her powerful, dangerous father isn’t involved… but Jade knows better. With secrets buried under every spell and dark rituals stirring in the night, she’s pulled into a mystery no one wants her to solve.

Immortal Dragons Prequel: Dragon Betrayed

Ophelia Bell

I had him shackled and bound, but he was still in control. "I want to break you apart," he growled. So I whispered, "Then earn it." He will.

She’s a goddess who holds the world in her hands—yet craves the one thing she can’t command: surrender. He’s the mortal bold enough to take her there, binding her with chains and pulling her into a storm of pain and pleasure she never imagined. But passion this fierce doesn’t come without a cost. When an immortal dragon refuses to pay love’s price, the balance of fate shatters. Desire turns dangerous, devotion burns like fire, and the line between ruin and redemption grows razor-thin. In a realm where gods can fall and mortals can rise, obsession might just be the only way to survive.

C. Swallow

Callista rules as the Sun King—fierce, divine, and ready to claim his Moon. Yehseeka? She’s wild, proud, and has zero interest in serving any man. But tradition doesn’t ask. It chooses. And the moment Callista lays eyes on her, sparks ignite. As Yehseeka navigates his tribal world, temptation comes from every corner—from the stoic king, his darkly magnetic brother, and a third who hides more than scars. She resists, but desire is a language of its own. Just as she starts to find power in connection, her past comes roaring back with a threat only blood can answer. Now, love, lust, and legacy collide under the tribal stars.
