Bianca de Medici, the illegitimate daughter of Cosimo de Medici, was sent to the French court at the age of 7 to live under the protection of Queen Catherine de Medici. Raised as a companion to the Valois children, she quickly became entangled in the intricate world of politics, power, and loyalty at the French court. Nine years later, Bianca's friendship with the Dauphin, Francis, evolves into something far deeper-a love neither of them can deny. But duty and politics stand in their way. Francis is promised to Mary, Queen of Scots, in a union meant to secure the future of France, while Bianca is reminded of her place as an outsider in the royal world. The forces of courtly intrigue, familial expectations, and the ambitions of others conspire to keep them apart. As Bianca faces the painful reality of being torn from the man she loves, she must also grapple with the knowledge that Francis will soon marry another. Francis, too, is caught between his duty to the crown and his desire for Bianca, knowing that his heart belongs to her alone. Amid the glittering halls of the French court and the shadowy corridors of secret power, Bianca and Francis must decide whether their love is strong enough to defy the world-or if it will be consumed by the war between their hearts. Will they find a way to rewrite their destinies, or will their forbidden love lead to their downfall?

Struggling to sell a single painting and drowning in student debt, Marisol Reyes, a fiercely independent but lonely artist in modern-day Chicago, is just about ready to give up on her dreams. When a mysterious storm crashes through her studio, she's pulled-brushes and all-into a world of primal beauty, where men can transform at will to different animals, cities are carved from stone and bone, and technology is nothing more than a fantasy. In this untamed realm centered around women and powered by instinct, Marisol finds herself at the center of the beastmen tribes. With no phone, no way home, and no clue how to survive in a matriarchal society where women must take multiple male consorts to stay protected, Marisol must quickly adapt-or risk becoming prey. Thrust into the spotlight, she must navigate between aggressive females, obsessive men, and unexpected desire. Armed with nothing but her creativity, courage, and the heart she wears on her sleeve, Marisol begins to uncover her place in this wild world. Maybe she doesn't need to return home after all... maybe she was meant to paint a new life here.

◤ "ɪᴛ's ᴊᴜsᴛ ᴀ sᴍᴀʟʟ sɪʟʟʏ ᴄʀᴜsʜ" ◥ Being Harry Potter's twin sister is a full-time job. Try doing it while harboring a massive, secret crush on the school's golden boy. For years, my feelings for Cedric Diggory were just a silly, harmless secret. He was older, he was perfect, and he was completely out of my league. I was just the quiet Gryffindor girl watching him from across the Great Hall, holding my breath every time he walked past. I was the girl who handed him a nervous, anonymous letter in my first year and desperately claimed it was from a friend. We eventually became friends, sharing quiet moments and small smiles in the corridors. But I knew where we stood. He was the golden Hufflepuff champion, and I was just the Boy Who Lived's sister. But then came our fourth year. The Goblet of Fire changes everything. When Harry's name mysteriously flies out of the goblet, my world is turned completely upside down. Amidst the rumors, the danger, and the intense rivalry, everything shifts. Suddenly, Cedric isn't just looking at me from across the room anymore. He is standing in my corner. He is protecting me. And as the stakes of the tournament get deadly, the older, popular champion starts falling for me. How do you navigate romance with the school's favorite boy when your overprotective twin brother is trying to survive a deadly tournament? And what happens when a silly childhood crush turns into a promise you are willing to wait years to keep?
