When Aria's father sells her to a stranger from the north, she never expects to be cherished like a daughter. To live in a castle, showered with every luxury. Her sumptuous new life is every young girl's dream. But as Aria grows older she can no longer deny the mystery and strangeness of her beloved foster family. Especially the Greyback men. Nor can she ignore the dark menace of the woods beyond the castle. Aria is determined to unravel their secrets. Above all, those of Lucian Greyback, the enigmatic and unsettling man to whom she is betrothed. When her curiosity gets the better of her, Aria is compelled to venture into the forest and discover the truth. But beneath flesh and blood lies a beastly legacy. And a birthright she could never imagine. If you enjoyed the gothic, captivating world of mystery in Jane Eyre (but need a little more bite), you will love the suspenseful and alluring secrets of Aria's journey in this book.

From the shadows of history and the depths of passion, A Love Tale reimagines the timeless world of Bram Stoker's Dracula, weaving together the dark elegance of the 1992 film and the modern intensity of Dracula: A Love Tale (2025). This story is told through the eyes of Mina Murray, her dreams, her fears, her desires. It reveals the journey of a woman caught between the ordinary world and the eternal embrace of her ancient lover, the Prince of Darkness himself. As a devoted fan of vampirism, I have long found inspiration in Dracula, not only as my favourite story and character but as a muse that fuels every word of this tale. In A Love Tale, Mina's story unfolds with unprecedented intimacy, exploring her heart, her longing, and the unyielding power of a love that has waited centuries. To all of us hopeless romantics: may we, too, find a love that would wait 400 years, unshaken, eternal, and worth every heartbeat.

Embry Call isn't looking for forever. At eighteen, newly graduated and still carrying the memory of teeth snapping inches from his throat, he's the only wolf in La Push without an imprint waiting at the end of every patrol. Sam has Emily, Jared has Kim, Paul has Rachel, and Quil has Claire, while Embry has an empty passenger seat, a father he cannot name, and an entire life he isn't allowed to explain to anyone outside the pack. So he makes a dating profile. It's supposed to be harmless-some flirting, a few coffee dates, proof that somebody might choose him even if destiny never does. Then he matches with Matilda "Tilly" Vale, an aspiring children's-book illustrator who has recently traded the coast of Maine for a tiny, brightly painted house in the Forks woods. Tilly is strange, beautiful, and impossible not to adore. She sends voice messages at midnight, drives a butter-yellow Ford Ranger, and avoids Embry's invitations for an entire month despite talking to him every day. Embry calls her his girl before they ever meet, half teasing and already half in love. When a rainstorm finally brings him to her door, one look is enough to rearrange his entire world. Neither of them mentions it. Instead, they burn grilled cheese, pretend the air between them hasn't changed, and end their first date curled together beneath Tilly's quilt, both quietly hiding the impossible thing that happened when their eyes met. Because Embry isn't the only one with a secret. Tilly comes from a family whose stories have never stayed safely on the page, and after the wolf leaves her little house, every drawing inside it begins to change. Some love stories are written. Some are chosen. And some come padding out of the dark, leaving paw prints in the margins.

Lera Grace Walker has always felt homesick for a place she's never been. Born in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and transplanted to Forks, Washington, she spends her days navigating rain-soaked forests, Bella Swan's increasingly strange life, and the unsettling realization that werewolves might actually be real. For Lera, that's already more than enough trouble. Then Bella drags her to Italy. In the ancient city of Volterra, beneath marble halls older than memory, an immortal executioner takes one look at her and forgets how to breathe. Felix has spent nearly two thousand years mourning Valeria Pompilia, the woman he loved before he became a monster. The woman he lost. The woman who carved a final message into his grave when the world believed him dead. The woman who had Lera's face. Now the impossible stands before him, alive and stubborn as a mountain storm, armed with a Kentucky accent and absolutely no interest in becoming part of an ancient vampire's tragic love story. But as old dreams begin to surface and forgotten lives stir beneath the surface of her soul, Lera discovers that some stories refuse to stay buried. Some promises survive centuries. And some loves are powerful enough to follow a soul across lifetimes. The problem? Lera Grace Walker isn't Valeria Pompilia. And if Felix wants any chance of keeping her, he'll have to learn the difference. A Southern Gothic tale of ghosts, grief, destiny, and the immortal mistake of mistaking a memory for a miracle

The Courting Series Book #1 "Are you ready?" He asked, running his canines along the sensitive skin on my neck. He set a strong hand behind my head to hold me in place. "Say something, Beatrice," he said, an edge to his voice. I could tell he was growing impatient. I took in a long, shakey breath, trying to prepare myself for what was coming next. "Do it," I said. Then he plunged his sharp teeth down, breaking the skin and releasing a searing pain. - Birdie Parker had lived, for all intense and purposes, a completely ordinary life.

In a world where pack politics can ignite wars and a single verdict can decide the fate of thousands, Allora Evans is untouchable-the Pack Negotiator. Neutral. Feared. Absolute. Chosen by the Moon Goddess herself, her rulings are final, and her identity is protected at all costs. But when Allora is summoned to arbitrate a decade-old land dispute, the impossible happens. The opposing Alpha is Luciano Castillo-the man who once rejected her, banished her, and shattered her life. Now he stands before her as a powerful Alpha, unaware that the woman holding his fate in her hands is the mate he lost... and the truth he was never meant to uncover. As old betrayals surface and dark secrets unravel-fake bonds, deadly conspiracies, and a past manipulated by lies-Allora must uphold her oath of neutrality while facing the one bond she was trained to resist. Luciano, haunted by regret and driven by a love he no longer denies, must fight not only for his pack, but for redemption. With assassins closing in, political alliances fracturing, and a legacy neither of them expected waiting in the shadows, The Pack Negotiator is a high-stakes paranormal romance about power, fate, and the devastating cost of denying the Moon Goddess's will. Some bonds can be broken. Others were never meant to be.
