To save her father, Ceryn reveals she's the only fertile maiden in the kingdom and offers the king an heir. Being only a peasant, she captures the king's fascination and the kingdom's outrage... Ceryn's quiet life shatters when her father is sentenced to death. Desperate to save him, she storms into the palace and exposes a secret she planned on taking to the grave: She's the only fertile maiden in the land, capable of bearing the king's heir. With war looming, King Varkon already has enough on his plate. A calculating, level-headed ruler, he knows reckless moves could threaten his throne. Yet something about the peasant girl ignites his blood and makes him risk it all by claiming her. Their bloodlines are oil and water: a powerful king with an ancient ancestry, and a peasant with secrets that could ruin the kingdom. Their union exists only to produce an heir. Romance was never part of the bargain, yet every stolen glance and heated touch forces them to tread a razor's edge of duty and temptation. Their attraction threatens to shatter the kingdom's fragile balance. And with enemies circling and betrayal whispering through every hall, their union could either forge a new dynasty - or doom the realm forever. *** "My entire body tingles with the maddening need to pleasure and protect her. I am a king for Kryndor. But for her? I am a beast. There are no politics, bureaucracy, or rules when it comes to her. Only primal instinct."

But when years of neglect and unspoken grief collide with her husband's devastating mistake, everything begins to crumble. Caden Barrett has always been the fixer-at work, at home, and in his marriage. But some things can't be solved with late-night apologies or expensive gifts. To win back Felicity's trust, he'll have to face his failures, fight for their future, and learn what it truly means to not only love his wife, but to show that love. Together, they must navigate family turmoil, betrayal, and the painful echoes of the past.

This is a story of brokenness and healing, of second chances and the quiet work of love. It is a novel that explores modern marriage, blended families, and courage while asking: when everything shatters, can love be rebuilt stronger than before?

This is best read after Zolan Book 3 (The King) *** I'm the descendant of Queen Dee and King Vadnar. My family and I have lived our whole lives on an isolated island. After years of staring at the horizon, I decide to leave. My curiosity leads me to a military camp, where I'm forced to enlist as an Entertainer. I try to lay low. But with The Captain's dark, hungry gaze following me, trouble is bound to find me.

Zolan Book 3. Can be read as a standalone. One second I'm at the NASA headquarters, and the next second, I'm teleported to the territory of an angry alien.

It's hard enough being the only human on this alien planet with no memory of how I got here. I have no business being imprisoned by a military Captain. But here I am, handcuffed for weeks to a brooding, powerful warrior that's convinced I'm a spy. I've been a servant at the Captain's camp for months-cooking, cleaning, and living peacefully. When his tent catches fire, and I'm accused of spying, I'm taken as his prisoner. I don't know how I'll survive eating, bathing, and sharing a bed with the intense man for weeks. If the war raging across the planet doesn't kill me, the building tension between the Captain and me will do the trick. *This is a sample.
