One girl. Transported to a realm full of magic and paranormal creatures. Seven hunky men. A fairy tale with a twist. My name is Alfie. A university student. I'm nothing special. Just your average nineteen-year-old girl doing her best at life. Then that happens. The unexpected. The impossible. The magic. When I first set foot on St. James Manor, a charming old house my parents bought and turned into a retreat for writers, I feel a sense of connection with the magical place. One night, I'm inadvertently transported to another realm. Disorientated and afraid of my new, mysterious surroundings, I'm found by two dark warrior lords, who mistake me for a boy. They even suspect that I am a member of a loose, violent bandit that is raiding their kingdom and kidnapping the civilians. Despite having a fun and adventurous soul, I find nothing exciting, as these two gorgeous warriors, tsundere Caleb and gregarious Felix, take me back to their camp and proceed to grill me about my background. When a group of bandits pursues me and I am lost in the wild, dangerous woods, an alluring vision-in-white of a lord appears. His name is Geoffrey, and his enthralling charm fascinates me. Of course, all that I want is to return home. But little do I know that finding a way home is the least of my worries because there are those with dark power who are hunting me down. Seven Devils and a Rose is a steamy reverse harem paranormal fantasy romance and the heroine will end up with multiple male leads.

Her pack is usually referred to as Sparta. Despite the harsh circumstances and training she's been raised in, she's always had a soft spot for romance. Her biggest wish to meet her mate. She's overcome with joy and fear when she realizes her mate is the Alpha of her pack--Bren. What she doesn't expect is for her mate to reject her. Feeling heartbroken, Mia runs to the only pack she knows she'll be accepted. Alpha Matthew was rejected by his own mate. He's known for being kind to his pack but is quite the recluse. But what happens when two rejects get together? Will they be able to find love in one another, or will their prospective mates tear them away? What happens when Sparta and Athens goes to war? Will the Alpha King have to get involved in this love triangle? --- Authors note: I wanted to add a little twist to werewolf stories. So not all the characteristics of werewolves is going to be "traditional." Expect to be entering a modified set of guidelines. But I hope you enjoy it anyways! 18+ for certain scenes ;)
