Raine Stjorme had climbed the ranks to the top. And after praying each night, she was finally with child. Yet all this was rewarded with the cruelest of fates. Murdered by the man she loved, Raine cursed Emperor Sylvos with her dying breath. She cursed his whole court as they snickered at her final moments. And her curse had taken root. Now, Raine awakens three years before her destined death, on the fateful day she first encounters the emperor. Armed with this second chance, she vows to make him fall - and to bring his empire down with him.

"When I look into your eyes, I know where you've been, I know what you saw that night in the forest. I know what you are now." Scholars rule the empire and Alleria is about to become the youngest Scholar in history. Some loathe her for her gender, class and age, while others fear what she will become when she grows too wise to be controlled. And there's one strange boy who knows her secret - a boy who whispers about demons in the shadows and the haunting melody that comes with them. Stepping up to stand among the sharks and snakes of the patriarchal imperial politics, Alleria sets her heart on solving the world's greatest mathematical problem - and perhaps also its greatest crisis. The path she chooses may make her the most successful woman in the empire, or lead her to her own demise - or both. **#1 in Fantasy** PREVIOUSLY TITLED "ALLERIA" Cover art by @sugarcrystals

Lorcan Equinox never expects a human woman to awaken the dark, carnal desire he's suppressed for decades--until she defies the very curse that made him untouchable. Season 1 of Fae's Curse *** Amberly Reed was supposed to die the moment she touched the Fae lord. Now, whisked away to his manor in the Faelands, she struggles to thrive in a world where mortals are unwelcome. Her only power here is her seemingly intoxicating effect on Lorcan, who--as much as he clashes and bickers with her--can't seem to stay away. Even so, any relationship between them is forbidden, and could spell certain death for Amberly if it's discovered. But when she learns that Lorcan's curse is slowly killing him, she must discern what her growing feelings mean, and decide if she's willing to risk everything to save him. *** ❝You didn't see it, but every male in that room was eyeing you up. Every damn one. They wanted a taste of you.❞ His voice is dark with envy. I swallow - hard. ❝I wanted to tear off that damned dress and take you right there, to show every leering bastard❞--he begins to move faster--❝that you aren't theirs to take.❞

(Complete) **A MATURE FANTASY** Book #1 in the Elemental Heir Series. Now published and available in PAPERBACK and KINDLE on AMAZON!! 🤍 "Your ready wit never fails to surprise and delight me, Brenya." He murmured, his lips only inches from my own. I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation. "Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw. I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice. I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder. My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body. *~*~*~*~*~* ~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~ ~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~ ~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~ ~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~ ~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~ *~*~*~*~*~* ⚠️!!
