Caden Connelly is hot. Dumb. And possibly cursed. Every girl he dates ends up falling for someone else-usually one of his teammates-and he's sick of being the universe's personal punchline. So this semester, he's got a new plan: fake date someone completely undateable. Someone so immune to hockey charm, the curse won't stand a chance. Enter Raven Alore. She's too smart to fall for a himbo goalie and way too busy trying to win a cutthroat sports media internship, take revenge on her ex, and survive living with her backstabbing roommate. She has exactly zero time for Caden's golden retriever energy or his abs of distraction. But when fake dating him gets her: a viral PR case study a shot at the internship and her ex shaking in his cleats... Well, she's in. With conditions. No feelings. No flirting. No shirtless selfies. (Okay, maybe one shirtless selfie.) But the longer they fake it, the messier it gets-because Caden's actually... not that dumb? And Raven's not that heartless. And this whole thing? Might not be fake at all. By the time the puck drops, someone's gonna catch feelings. Let's just hope it's not cursed.

Because I'm being forced to marry Axel fucking Kingston, a six-foot-something nerd with ugly glasses, perfect posture, and the emotional range of a teaspoon. Oh, and he's completely inexperienced. Like... painfully. So please explain how I went from "I hate him" to "Axel, please... don't stop," completely falling apart under him and forgetting my own name. I swear I don't even know who I am anymore. #1 Royalfamily (Feb 5th) #1 Enemies (Feb 23th) #1 Badgirlgoodboy (March 23)

Love was never my choice. Survival is. He was meant to kill her. Instead, he crowned her. When Elara's boyfriend offers her as a sacrifice to the shadowed ruler of the Black Crown, she expects death. Instead, she's pulled into a realm of moonlit palaces and starlit rivers-where the king who should have been her executioner begins to look at her as if she belongs beside him. Now Elara must choose: return to the world that betrayed her... or take her place beneath the Black Crown.

Four years have passed since Demetria Howard was dragged back to Elyria and forced into a marriage she never chose. Four years since Gunnar Hårek - the man she loved, the king she married, the father of her children - whispered Goodbye, Princess and let her walk away. Now Elyria has a queen trapped in a gilded cage. Válhir has a king sharpening his rage into a weapon. And the world is about to learn what happens when you abuse a woman who belongs to a savage king. Demetria has endured political imprisonment, manipulation, and the cruelty of a husband who sees her as a tool for power. She has survived Elyria's court, protected her new heirs, and learned to play the game better than the men who tried to break her. But when a message slips through the borders - a message Gunnar was never meant to see - everything changes. Because the Savage King finally learns the truth: She didn't leave him. She didn't betray him. She didn't choose Elyria. She was taken. And now he's coming. Not as a husband. Not as a king. But as a storm.

Demetria Howard has spent her life in sunlit halls, hidden behind silk curtains and soft smiles. In Elyria, she is the Porcelain Princess - pretty, harmless, forgettable. A girl made for treaties and tea, not thrones and war. Then the North comes. Válhir's armies crash against Aureline's golden walls, and the war everyone thought would never touch them arrives with steel and fire. To save her kingdom, Demetria's father agrees to the one price the Savage King demands: His youngest daughter. As a bride. As tribute. Gunnar Hårek, King of Válhir, is twice her age and drenched in blood and legend. They call him the Wolf King, the butcher of three realms, the man the gods themselves don't dare cross. He does not believe in love, only loyalty. He does not take prisoners. Yet when he sees Demetria - trembling, furious, and so breakable in her pale dress - he decides one thing: He will not share her. Not with her kingdom. Not with the gods. Not even with her past. Dragged from a palace of sunlight to a fortress carved from ice and stone, Demetria must survive a husband who terrifies her, a court that wants her gone, and a land that eats the weak. But the longer she spends under the Savage King's gaze, the more dangerous her own heart becomes. Because monsters are easy to hate. Men who bleed for you are not. This is a dark fantasy romance with a brutal Viking king, a sheltered princess, an age gap, and a marriage that begins as a bargain and turns into an obsession that could set the entire continent on fire.
