Beastbound Mates • Book One This is a spinoff series from Dreambound Mates. If you don't know where to start find The Rift Painter to get the full story! 🔥This book is available on Kindle Unlimited. A Fae princess who no longer trusts fate. A succubi king whose power is built on pleasure-and restraint. When Princess Variss leaves court behind, she is determined to master her magic and silence the pull she refuses to name. King Raze is not so easily forgotten. Though desire burns hot between them, trust remains fragile-especially when it wears a crown. As a threat long thought extinct stirs near MadFalls Kingdom, Variss and Raze are forced into uneasy proximity. Boundaries blur, restraint fractures, and the line between power and surrender grows dangerously thin. With a kingdom at stake and their hearts on the line, they must decide whether denying their connection is safer than embracing it-or if love itself may prove the most dangerous risk of all.

THE AMBY AWARDS 2022 WINNER (Best Series) Book One (Book Three of the trilogy is on the WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST) Wattpad featured story. The Adept Pen 21 finalist. Samara, a young woman from London, visits Bran Castle in Romania during a Halloween night. Somehow, she's always felt drawn to the story of Vlad the Impaler, the historical character who allegedly inspired the writer, Bram Stoker, to write his Count Dracula. Annoyed by her noisy friends, she strolls behind her group when they enter the castle and thus gets approached by their tall dark and handsome guide. Samara can't fight the attraction she feels for him, even after he claims to be Vlad Dracul himself, obviously making fun of her...or? At the end of the tour, unable to resist her curiosity, she follows the guide through a dark corridor and time travels to another time, a late medieval world populated by very unusual vampires, where she had once belonged. The mysterious guide turns out to be her husband, none less than Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, the Impaler... Dracula. Samara's memories start to trickle back slowly, both good and bad. The man she loves so much that she feels overcome by her feelings for him is not exactly as he was when she left him before, when she... died. A lot of things have changed in her absence, in six hundred years. But she is changed too, having grown up in the 21st century this time around, she is not quite the same girl as when she lived in Vlad's castle, in the late medievals. Will the great love they feel for each other despite their long separation be strong enough to overcome all their differences? Will Samara and Vlad accept each other as they are now and fight for their love? Will they defend it in the dangerous world they live in, full of people, or better vampires, who would rather see them apart? In this place where nothing and no one is what they really seem to be at first sight? Cover: @WakeWriteWrath

For centuries, Lucian Drazel Valemont, the feared Vampire King, has ruled from the shadows-immortal, untouchable, and cursed with a heart of stone. Legends speak his name with dread, for he is said to bring ruin wherever he walks. To Lucian, love is a weakness long buried with the ashes of his past. In a quiet village at the edge of his dark kingdom lives Aria Celeste Moreau, a simple girl who has always felt invisible in her own world. Gentle yet resilient, she dreams of a life beyond her small village, never imagining that destiny has already marked her as the key to breaking a king's eternal curse. When a fateful night draws her into the Vampire King's path, their worlds collide. Aria should fear him, yet she finds herself captivated by the man behind the monster. And for Lucian, Aria is a dangerous temptation-the light that threatens to shatter his carefully built darkness. But their love is forbidden. Humans call him a monster. Vampires call her a weakness. Together, they must defy a world set against them, uncover the truth of Aria's hidden bloodline, and face the prophecy that binds their souls. In the clash between eternal night and fragile dawn, only one question remains: Will their love be strong enough to break the curse-or will it destroy them both?

THE ALPHA'S NATURE Dreambound Mates • Book Two A Hartley Realms Novel 🔥This book is available on Kindle Unlimited. Nina should never have survived the poison. Waking from the brink of death was only the beginning of her war-because when she opened her eyes, she did so as the fated mate of the most dangerous wolf alive. Alpha Kraven. The Werewolf King who nearly got her killed. Now bound by a dream-link she never asked for, Nina feels him in her sleep, in her pulse, in every quiet breath between heartbeats. The pull between them is undeniable... and completely unwanted. Kraven acts on instinct. He takes what he wants. And his failure to listen is the reason she was poisoned in the first place. Yet he stays. Patient. Watchful. Waiting. His wolf is unraveling without her. While Nina fights the bond tightening around her heart, her best friend Macey is racing against time to save Celeste-whose strange, vacant behavior hints at something far darker than anyone realizes. As rifts weaken, magic destabilizes, and those she loves begin to change in frightening ways, Nina is forced to make impossible choices. Can she trust a man ruled by instinct? What happens when the mate bond becomes too powerful to deny? And what price will she pay to save the people who are her true family? Because Nina's heart is no longer the only thing in danger. Nature itself is dying. And the Alpha's true nature may be the only thing that can stop it... -or destroy it completely.
