**She was meant to disappear into the dark. Instead, the dark carried her home.** Aurelia was taken from the sea and broken beneath stone-her body chained, her voice stolen, her identity erased. Kept alive only because a cruel king believed she held the secrets of the merpeople, she learned one truth above all else: Silence is survival. When a violent invasion shatters her prison, Aurelia expects death. What she finds instead is him. A warrior forged of shadow and restraint. A man whose power decays iron and bends fear into obedience. He does not ask her name. He does not demand her loyalty. He carries her out of the dark as if it is inevitable-like fate finally remembering her. But Theo of High Raven is not merely a rescuer. He is a prince of a kingdom carved from obsidian and ravens, where power is ancient, borders are guarded by monsters, and nothing survives without purpose. As Aurelia is drawn north into a land that blooms where it should rot. Caught between a throne that fears her, a kingdom that watches her, and a man whose silence feels more dangerous than any threat, Aurelia must lie convincingly enough to stay alive-while hiding a truth that could shatter borders, crowns, and gods alike. Because she is not ordinary. She never was. And if the world learns what sleeps beneath her skin- Even the Black Throne will not stand tall enough to stop her. A dark fantasy of secrets, slow-burn tension, ancient magic, and the dangerous pull between two forces the world was never meant to contain.

New Orleans, 1926-a city of jazz, secrets, and shadows where monsters walk among the living. Eighteen-year-old Jules never meant to wander into the dark. But after a night on Bourbon Street ends in blood and silence, she wakes reborn as a vampire-marked as a violation of ancient law. With her family still alive, the city's vampire covenant orders her execution. Only one vampire intervenes. Lucian-powerful, feared, and over a century old-claims responsibility for her life. Coldly disciplined and bound by tradition, he becomes Jules's reluctant protector, confining her to his mansion and enforcing rules she refuses to obey. Jules is fiery, reckless, and furious at the chains wrapped around her immortality. Lucian sees her defiance as a threat. She sees his control as a prison. Caught between hunger and survival, Jules is drawn into the seductive underground of New Orleans's younger vampires-midnight dances, illegal feedings, and dangerous freedom. There she meets Silas: charming, volatile, and openly defiant of the covenant's authority. Silas whispers of power, of revolution, of a world where vampires no longer bow to elders who fear change. He tells Jules what Lucian never will-that her fire makes her dangerous... and destined for more. As vampire hunters close in on the city and coven politics turn deadly, Jules is forced to choose between order and chaos, protection and freedom. But Silas's plans threaten to ignite a massacre that could expose them all-and Lucian may be the only one willing to burn the world to keep her alive. In a city built on sin and secrecy, love becomes the most dangerous rebellion of all.l

On her twenty-first birthday, Melora is sold by her own father to a powerful, mysterious ruler in exchange for wealth and influence. Forced into an arranged marriage with a man she's never met, she's sent across the sea to a foreign land-escorted only by the one man she trusts: her brooding, fiercely loyal bodyguard. He's protected her since she was eighteen. Watched over her. Wanted her. But he hides a dark secret... one that makes him far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Now, with every passing night spent alone together, his control begins to crack-and so does hers. She was supposed to belong to another. But what if the one forbidden to touch her is the only man she's ever desired? And what if he's not entirely human? -- This book will be fast moving between the two main characters.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

Amelia never meant to fall in love with a god's abandoned familiar. She came to the mountains of Kawamori chasing a mistake. Thousands of miles from her quiet, predictable life in Utah, the history graduate student arrived with fogged glasses, an overstuffed backpack, and a thesis topic no professor believed in. The River Serpent God Temple still existed in local records, but according to the world beyond the valley, it no longer had worshipers, caretakers, or purpose. Behind broken seals and dust-thick air waited a man bound to the shrine by ancient spiritual power, silent and unmoving until her presence woke him. He called himself a Familiar, a servant abandoned by the god he once protected, and he warned her to leave before the temple decided to keep her too. But Kawamori was already changing. The town was fading in ways Amelia could not explain, the shrine's history refused to stay buried, and the bond forming between her and the Familiar grew stronger with every passing day. The deeper Amelia searched for the truth about the vanished River Serpent God, the harder it became to separate longing from danger. Loving the Familiar might cost her life. Leaving him might mean abandoning a broken god, a forgotten promise, and a town slowly disappearing into silence.
