Clara Vale fled one unwanted marriage only to run straight into another. It's just her bad luck to fall into the clutches of a Dark witch whose watery-eyed son collects "pretty things." Knowing it's only a matter of time before he returns and claims his unwilling bride, Clara finds her only solace in the witch's garden. It's poisonous and shows no mercy, but at least she can feel the sun and see the sky and dream of flying away. Then one day, hidden in a tulip, she finds something impossible: A man. With wings. Wounded, furious, and no bigger than her thumb. Intercepting a traitor's curse meant for his father, Prince Elion Rosegrave wakes in a hostile world where predators prowl, magic twists, and the flowers have teeth. He's growing increasingly desperate to return to his realm, where his parents still trust the very hand that betrayed them. He alone knows the truth, but he's bound to a fate he cannot break alone. She needs him to escape a cage. He needs her to save a kingdom. Both are trapped, but only she can decide if love is enough to give them wings.

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 | 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝 | 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧 | 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦 The bond was never a choice. Reena Sterling and Cassian Thorne grew up running the same borders, sharing the same secrets, trusting each other with the kind of ease only childhood friends can know. Until life tore them apart and left whatever they once were nameless and unfinished. Now their packs demand an alliance. The solution is clean, efficient, and merciless: a forced mating bond. A political claim neither of them fights. Cassian accepts it the way he accepts every burden; without hesitation, without explanation. He offers no warmth, no reassurance. Only distance. Controlled. Intentional. As if space is the last defense against something that could ruin them both. Reena gives him nothing in return. No flinch. No plea. Just the same quiet control she's perfected since the day she lost everything that once mattered. But the past they buried doesn't stay silent. Old grief surfaces in jagged silences, in words meant to wound, in the way they still reach for each other before pulling back. Every sharp remark, every deliberate cruelty, is just another attempt to push the other away before the bond can claim what little of their hearts remains. Yet something older than their pain is stirring. Raven-thorn marks spread through the packs like a debt coming due. A woman waits at the treeline; marking wolves, marking boundaries. She is not here for the alliance. She is here for what was stolen long ago. And Reena is beginning to realize she is not the hunter in this story. 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑦𝑒𝑡. Will the forced bond become their cage... or the only thing strong enough to heal what they both lost?

An exiled princess, a poisoned husband, and a battle for power-Eirian Soliel refuses to be forgotten, but can she turn a cold marriage into a fiery alliance before it's too late? First cousin to the King and the darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian has spent most of her life indulging all her whims and fantasies under the protection of her royal blood, but when her father's sudden re-marriage results in a son, she finds herself suddenly shuffled aside. On top of that, her longtime on-and-off romantic partner suddenly betrays her. Instead of proposing to her, he shows up to her birthday ball, married to a low-ranked Lady without a word of warning. Eirian's life is upended, and her stepmother succeeds in exiling her into an arranged marriage with a general who never leaves the distant borderland. Regimented, completely disinterested in the capitol and the Court, and dying from a poison no one can identify, her new husband would rather continue his simple life with his mistress than welcome his new wife, but Eirian refuses to go down without fight. Determined to make a place for herself if she cannot find one, Eirian finds herself facing an enemy she never expected, and she underestimates her shy, gentle husband. Will the General fall for his vivacious Princess, or will Eirian be set aside again?

He had always wondered what it would be like to meet someone who didn't flinch from the dark, who wouldn't run screaming her head off once he suggested something new. In college, he had tried to connect with some girls he met, but he quickly got a reputation for being a deranged sex-maniac. One look of disgust was enough to swear him off intimacy during college, and graduating hadn't really changed his prospects. Looking like a homicidal maniac with a brain that persisted in seeing stuff it liked, didn't help either. Yes, women were more in touch with their needs and wants nowadays, but it seemed his specific brand of craziness was elusive. It took a trip to another continent to find her. Now he had all he ever wanted, but he was going to lose her because of a hidden truth and a blast from the past. From experience, he knew that good things never lasted. Not in his world at least. However, he would fight tooth and nail; burn the world down to keep his beautiful vixen. No matter the cost, he was going to save her, and damn anything that stood in his way. If you love stories where obsession and redemption collide, you'll be hooked from the first page!

In 1929 Boone, North Carolina, marriage feels like Alice's only true ticket to a better life, and she is determined to make it happen for herself.

Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request.
