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?

His hatred of rogues is legendary, and one of his first acts as alpha will be to banish all lone wolves from his territory, including those attending Linton University.

Six-year-old Estella Graham stood traumatized at the edge of the forest, weary of the wolves that approached the fiery car wreck that had claimed her family. But there was something comforting about the scent of Max, as he transported her to the safety of his pack house. She never wanted to let him go. Max Kinsky didn’t want a mate, content to pursue his medical calling and play the field until the night his wolf identified his mate in this girl who stood in the smoke of a car fire. Unfathomable, but if true, he’d have to wait years until she was old enough to fulfill The Moon Goddess’s plans for them. Until then, he’d have to carry the secret of their destiny, and hope her life wouldn’t lead her away before it was appropriate to tell her.

Unfortunately for her stubborn streak, that king is Reiks: towering warlord of Valvor, feared by worlds, admired by none for his patience. He craves a bride who is strong, beautiful, and obedient.

He’s dangerous, forbidden, and tied to the very darkness that could destroy her. As their connection deepens, Lily must choose: run from her fate, or face the creature who may either save her…or consume her. One thing's certain—love shouldn’t taste this deadly.

Undressed by the King

J. M. Felic

Every time I lose my virginity it’s different.

Sometimes it’s in a palace, and sometimes it’s in the dirt.

Sometimes I’m on top, and sometimes my face is buried in a pillow to muffle my screams.

Sometimes it hurts like hell, and sometimes it’s pure ecstasy.

But there’s one thing that stays the same, no matter what.

In every lifetime, you find me.

I always lose it to you...

The Marked One

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?
