One fateful day, the entire Royal Family of the Kingdom of Aeriana was killed in a horrifying attack-all except for one girl. Princess Driana Stasia Antonov: heir to the kingdom and now the last hope of her dying uncle, King Demitri. Seventeen years later, Iris Daniels is a gifted young painter with no memory of her past, who suddenly finds herself running for her life with undercover government agent Wylan Garrick. Garrick is a man with a singular goal: find the missing princess before the kingdom's enemies do. And as women who look like Iris begin turning up murdered, Garrick begins to suspect that the woman in his care is more than who she appears to be. Now, Iris must trust Garrick with her life and wrestle with her growing attraction to him, as they both attempt to bring down the very secret society that killed her family. Because if she can't remember her past in time, it will catch up with her in ways she can't see coming-and might never walk away from.

Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #1 in the Appalachian Magic book series.
