Gabriella Taren, the daughter of an Imperial Lord, is lured out of hiding when her father dies. When returning to the sides of her loved ones, the duties of a future wife of nobility are bestowed upon her. Peace is a temperamental thing in the realm, and in order to stop a potential war, Gabriella has been ordered to make a marital alliance to sustain the peace and protect her people. Gabriella is then shipped to a foreign court where she prepares to become a bride, but little does she know that something terrifying has been anxiously awaiting her arrival. Aside from the company of her brother, Gabriella has been left vulnerable to the dark and twisted world of court intrigue, a world whose residents are majority courtiers who wield sinister agendas. Mysteries begin to unravel around Gabriella when she learns of a nefarious plot and discovers that a string of murders -- crimes no one has dared speak up about -- are all connected to the Imperial Lord and his children. Lethal prophecies are being fulfilled and Gabriella has been branded with an ancient name that promises damnation, for her and for all. The struggles of being a peacekeeper have never been more difficult, especially when she plays such a vital role in the game that is war. One wrong move and chaos will erupt. {cover by @MadelineSane}

Alice is twenty-four, far old enough to know that a change of scenery can't repair the cracks in a relationship long strained. But when her lover insists on a trip to a remote cabin to get away and recharge, Alice agrees... and discovers that among the beasts of the forest, there is one that shouldn't exist and yet does: a wolf that changes into a man and a man who changes into a wolf. He's savage, suspicious, and feral. And he's as undeniably interested in her as she is in him... Wolf's Wife is an erotic paranormal romance. This is the complete and full version, NOT a sample. It's just very short compared to its sequels.

'Wait a moment.' His voice was soft and insistent. It seemed also that I heard the words inside my mind, their tendrils brushing gently against my consciousness. I knew I should disobey, but my breath caught. Midnight hair fell across his temple, while eyes just as dark observed me in silence. Something smouldered beneath the surface, some otherworldly quality I couldn't name. Every instinct was screaming at me to run. I didn't move. * Sixteen-year-old Frida lives in a small, isolated village. Knowing her parents would disapprove, she studies runecraft in secret. One day, an encounter with a mysterious man in the forest causes her to question everything she had always believed to be true up until now...and she discovers that her ordinary life may not be quite so ordinary after all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fantasy novella, updates every Friday.

What can a slave girl do when she's but a pawn in a game of kings? Sent to infiltrate the enemy kingdom as the new bride of the King of Palandyre, Cinclair has only one goal in mind: the prize is her freedom, the price is his life, and the task is murder. But the man she must kill ignites in her a fire she cannot quench, sends her blood racing with the first flash of his grin and the tilt of his brow, and it feels like a dagger in her gut to see him falling for a mask she wears and the lies she's spun, because one more day his passion grows means one less day that he may live. As stakes climb higher and the war drums pound louder outside the castle walls, the hour of his death draws unforgivably near. But the heart cannot kill what the heart beats for... and her heart beats for his. [ cover by @VaineLuchia ]
