Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

A prophecy followed Dmitri Volkov like a curse. It claimed he carried the soul of Olkov, the first vampire, a creature so ancient that even legends faltered when speaking his name. Dmitri never cared for prophecies, but the world did. His parents feared what lived in him. His people bowed to him. One wrong look from him could decide who survived the night. Still, there was a truth he never admitted. He wanted the bond his kind had lost. The kind of love that could break an immortal in half and rebuild him. He mocked it when he saw it in others, but he longed for it in silence. He sat hidden in the darkest corner of his Russian club, bourbon sharp on his tongue, bass shaking the floor under his boots. The room pulsed with heat and sin, but none of it touched him. Then it came. A scent. Soft. Warm. Alive. It hit him so hard his chest tightened. His guards tensed as he sat forward, hair falling from his face. The noise faded. The crowd blurred. He followed the scent like it pulled him by the spine. A voice followed it. Gentle. Shy. Tinged with irritation. It slid through the room and wrapped around him like a tether. His eyes found her. Red hair cascading to her waist. Golden skin lit up by the neon glow. A camera at her side. She stood in a world she did not belong to, unaware of the predator watching her from the shadows. He begged her to turn. She did. Their eyes met, and her soft gasp shattered something inside him. For the first time in centuries, Dmitri Volkov felt his dead heart try to wake. * I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE *

What happens when the King of the Fae finds his True Queen...and rejects her? Oberon (Burr) Hughes was raised knowing he was to become King of the Fae. His stunning good looks, abilities, and wealth as well as the magic he held in himself naturally drew people to him. Daisy Carmichael was the complete opposite of Burr -- poor and plain looking. From the time she'd turned 15, she'd been in love with Burr, her best friend's older brother. Burr always imagined the woman he'd end up with would be stunning and elegant. Daisy was neither, so why was he drawn to her? After rejecting her as unworthy of being his True Queen, Burr realizes a few truths about his life. And instead of Daisy undergoing a transformation, this is the story of Burr's transformation into someone worthy of his queen.

*Book Three in the Gentleman's Proposal Series* Ginny Greene is only one London season away from spinsterhood. Having spent all of her seasons thus far pining after the wildly uninterested (and emotionally stunted) William Bancroft, it is now time to focus on marrying a man who might reasonably have her. There is only one problem - William Bancroft has suddenly taken notice of her. William Bancroft has known that he would marry Ginny Greene from the moment he set eyes on her. Now, finally ready for the chase, he finds himself in the unique position of courting a woman for the first time in his life. But Ginny does not merely want courting. No, she wants love. Affection. Easy intimacy. All things that Bancroft knows he cannot offer her. But, bastard that he is, it does not keep him from trying. Content Warnings: This book contains themes of religious trauma, CSA, scenes containing self-harm, and some violence. Note that while Books One and Two in this series can be read separately, this book requires having read both of the others (unless you don't mind being a little confused).

So when James Bancroft, an outsider, makes his disdain for her clear in front of everyone in town, she knows that keeping her distance is the only option.
