Goddess Isles Series: Once a Myth

Goddess Isles Series: Once a Myth

by Pepper Winters

From New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Pepper Winters comes The Goddess Isles Series.

He bought her. He trapped her. She belongs to him.

Eleanor Grace is a naïve dreamer. Trusting and young, she believes her travel-loving boyfriend can save her when her freedom is snatched and sold. Squirrelled away to an island at dawn, delivered to a man even darkness won’t touch, she’s bound by a contract. Sullivan Sinclair is the giver of fantasies. Any wish, any desire—he is the master at quenching even the filthiest appetites. His private paradise and perfectly trained goddesses are there for one purpose: to ensure every guest is extremely well satisfied.

The Cursed Bloodline Book 1: The Guardian

The Cursed Bloodline Book 1: The Guardian

by Salem Morgan

In a crumbling manor filled with whispers and cruelty, Lyra endures life as a servant, always hungry, always overlooked. But when she stumbles upon a cursed blade, everything changes. The weapon does more than cut—it binds her to the ruthless commander who sees through every defense she hides behind. Now, every moment is edged with danger, every glance a spark that could burn her whole world down. Survival used to mean silence and obedience. But the blade tempts her toward something riskier: the dangerous thrill of being noticed, of claiming her own power, of reaching for a desire that might destroy them both.

Immortal Dragons Prequel: Dragon Betrayed

Immortal Dragons Prequel: Dragon Betrayed

by 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.
