Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.

𝓞𝓷𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰. Rose Jacobs has been unlucky in love and in life. Wracked with grief and loneliness after a tragic accident, Rose has spent the last three years of her life attempting to regain some form of normalcy. Her normalcy? Running a used bookstore owned by her parents, full of classic literature. Romance? What's that? The only romance in her life at the moment includes rereading the fictional romance filled between the pages of her favorite books in the store. Oh, and her beloved golden retriever, Ginger. With the way her life has turned out, she couldn't have predicted the turn of events that would unfold after a box of classic books is brought into her store by a stranger looking to make a quick buck. Finding hidden love letters throughout each book brought in, Rose delves into the world and love life of Jo Rutherford--the books' original owner, who happened to write love letters to her future husband in the 1940s. Feeling lonely, but inspired by the letters, Rose begins her journey of creating her own letters to someone she doesn't believe exists. Nothing could prepare her for the excitement her boring love life was about to get when River Ellison, a handsome, arrogant and persistent man comes into her bookstore only mere hours after writing her first letter. In a journey of self-discovery and growth, Rose maneuvers through the hardships of romance and love while still attempting to piece herself back together after her life was turned upside down three years ago.

In the realm of Palasia, where the Silver Church's iron grip extends across the continent, the conquered Illuri people still cling to the old ways, praying to spirits that have grown quiet. At the heart of this struggle are four souls bound by fate: Nodalen, a princess burdened by the weight of her bloodline and a legacy of obedience; Liwani, a boy worshipped as a living spirit among the Illuri, yearning to break free from the sacred expectations that imprison him; Clay, a young warrior trapped in the cruel affections of the corrupt electun, desperate for a chance at redemption or escape; and Mary, who views the world through a lens of survival, poised to defy the forces that would see her subjugated. The Silver Church drowns sinners publicly to cleanse them of their sins, wielding faith as both shield and sword. Yet even as their grip tightens, a terrible threat rises. The cult of the Lord of Souls, a mysterious order promising eternal life, begins to swell in numbers, sowing discord in a land already teetering on the edge of chaos. As rebellion brews and the Silver Church's gaze turns inward, alliances are forged in blood, and secrets long buried begin to surface. From the frigid dungeons of Silvertown, where sinners face their watery fate, to the sunlit shores of the Illuri, where ancient rituals persist, Palasia is a land steeped in violence and deceit. Kings and commoners alike are caught in a web of treachery spun by those who crave power and those who would see it crumble. As Nodalen, Liwani, Clay, and Mary navigate the ever-changing tides of loyalty and betrayal, they are drawn toward a reckoning that will test their resolve and reshape their fates. For within the shadows of Palasia lies a hidden truth, a place where all blood flows, where sins are sown and reaped -- a garden of blood that nourishes the roots of a darker age long prophesied.
