Mica was adopted when she was 10 but had always wondered at her heritage. Mixed in race and culture, she has always felt a closer connection to her Native American side. For that reason, she heads over to New Mexico to attend the annual Gathering of the Nations for her big 21st. While there, she meets Rio and Nanco, brothers and beings from lore, as well as their grandfather Eagle, a great Native American chief, who reveals her destiny to not only save the Native American peoples and undo the wrongs done, bringing them back into power, but also her fate shared with one of the boys. As if coming into adulthood wasn't hard enough, now Mica has to worry about one of the most marginalized peoples in the world and falling for the right man. But what is a girl to do when they both set her heart aflame?

COMPLETE She was never meant to be queen. She was never meant to fall in love with the king. And she was never meant to survive the price of both. In a kingdom where loyalty is dangerous and love is a liability, Queen Samira finds herself tangled in a web of secrets, lies, and a forbidden passion that could destroy everything. As enemies rise within the court and the crown grows heavier, one truth becomes painfully clear: love doesn't come without casualties. The king made a choice. And now, so will she. A tale of love and vengeance, loyalty and loss, and the slow unraveling of a kingdom where power is everything-and love might be the most dangerous power of all. © MaryRose 2018. All rights reserved.

(EDITORS PICK) In the bloody, ruthless, and decidedly uncouth world of 17th century pirates, can a woman deceive even those closest to her and survive? Bronte is forced to make some tough decisions about her life and livelihood at far too tender an age in a time and place when options for women are few. Port Royal, Jamaica, in the 17th century is only a good place to be if you're a pirate. And so, a pirate she is. A pirate's life is precarious enough without the added burden of hiding one's sex. But, if she is to survive, hide it she must. Lucien's father wishes him to take over the family merchant business but Lucien feels God has a different path; he longs to use his medical knowledge to help the less fortunate in the Caribbean. Just as he is about to embark on his God-given task, a certain pirate spoils his plans. Is he wrong about the path God has for him? Lucien is forced to work for his father and delay his plans until he can hunt down the pirate who thwarted him. He is sure he's a match for anything the pirates dish out but soon realizes he's gotten more than he bargained for and it just may cost him his life... ⭐️ Featured in Editors Pick 9/2020 Cover by @Azanthiel

It is said that Scotland is a magical place, that its history is tightly intertwined with legend. About twenty miles from Culloden Moor there is a small village. long forgotten the stones crumbling and the green moss and bracken slowly reclaiming the rocks as the mortar turns to dust. The thatched roofs long ago rotted away. The tiny cottages make a pretty picture despite the dark memories and pain they hold in their dank rooms. The despair and loss that was felt at their empty hearths. There was once happiness, and laughter but not after Culloden. Every man from that village left to fight for bonny prince Charlie, and not a one of them returned. Abigail Donivan has learned that she is the last surviving heir to the Donivan clan and as such has inherited the two hundred acre plot of Scottish wilderness, she stumbles across the tumbledown cottages and falls in love with their charm. She works feverishly to restore them to their previous glory (with some modern luxuries) and plans to rent them out like a bed and breakfast. little does she know that there may yet be some magic within the Scottish Stones.
