Her family doubts her. Her enemies tempt her. And her heart betrays her. Will Princess Aveline burn for the crown, or be consumed by it? Many years ago, the kingdom of Orine was scorched by a vicious dragon, turning half its land into a desert of ashes. Now, its people demand a stable heir to ensure lasting peace. But Princess Aveline Goldhorn is anything but stable. Cursed by a witch, haunted by past mistakes, and dismissed as reckless, she dares to aim for the crown. An unstoppable warrior with more ambition than diplomacy, Aveline must untangle the secrets behind the throne, face her guilty conscience, and decide who she can trust. Is her family on her side, or are her enemies the only ones who want to stay close? And what of the mercenary whose precious green eyes seem to promise both protection and ruin? In a kingdom built on ashes and lies, Aveline longs for the freedom to write her own legacy-even if it means burning everything she loves... and herself. Tales Of Ash, Chaos, And Gold #1

The city never sleeps, but neither does a man with a deadline written in blood. In the shadows of Las Vegas, behind the smoke and the neon, Paxton Wolfe rules an empire built on secrets and fear. To the world, he's a casino mogul-untouchable, ruthless, impossible to know. To the ones who whisper in the dark, he's something far older. Alpha. Predator. A man bound by the oldest law his kind has ever known: find your mate before your thirtieth birthday, or lose your strength, your power... your life. Time is running out. With enemies closing in and betrayal circling like vultures, Paxton doesn't have the luxury of wanting-he needs. Needs the one woman who can anchor the storm inside him, the one bond strong enough to keep his pack and his empire from collapsing into ruin. But finding her in a city built on lies is dangerous. Keeping her alive will be worse. When Ripley steps into his path-sweet, stubborn, and blissfully unaware of the monsters hiding in plain sight-Paxton knows two things instantly: she's his...and she's in more danger than she can possibly imagine. The moment their worlds collide, she becomes the target. The pawn. The prize everyone wants to claim. He'll protect her. Possess her. Break anyone who tries to take her. But time is slipping through his fingers, and the line between salvation and obsession is razor-thin. In Las Vegas, the house always wins. Paxton Wolfe intends to make sure that house...is him.
