*serious editing is going on* She married a stranger who promised forever-unaware it was all a lie crafted to destroy her. Elena Bianchi, the gentle daughter of a powerful Italian politician, returns to Florence hoping to build a new life far from her family's tainted legacy. But fate has other plans when she crosses paths with Adrian Moretti-a man so charismatic, so precise in his affection, that she falls hopelessly in love. What she doesn't know is that Adrian is her enemy. Behind his warm smiles and tender kisses is a heart consumed by rage. Years ago, his sister was assaulted and silenced by men connected to the Bianchi name-and Elena's existence is now his weapon of revenge. With the full support of his cruel and twisted family, Adrian marries her... only to drag her into a nightmare. After the wedding, the truth unravels. She's beaten, starved, isolated-treated worse than a servant in her own home. And when whispers of a fate mirroring Adrian's sister begin to surface, Elena realizes she may not survive this marriage. But something begins to shift. Adrian starts to see the innocence in her eyes, the kindness in her broken smile-and guilt claws at his soul. Now he must choose: destroy the woman he once vowed to ruin, or risk everything, even his family's wrath, to save her. In a world built on betrayal and blood, can love survive the weight of vengeance?

☆ 2022 WATTYS SHORTLIST ☆ Leonora 'Lena' Winterhaven is a witch on a dry spell. Somehow, she is the only one left in her coven (and possibly all of New York!) to still have her virtue intact at the age of twenty-nine. This would be fine and dandy, if not for a particular curse that afflicts one Winterhaven witch every half-century. Lena just happens to be that unlucky witch. If she remains a virgin by the age of thirty, Lena is in danger of losing all of her powers forever. And for Lena, forever is much too long a time to live without an enchanted shoe collection, perfectly-conjured cups of cappuccino every morning, nor the ability to deep clean her studio apartment with a snap of a finger. But what's a witch to do when these are her options? Vampires? Terribly morbid. Warlocks? Too self-absorbed. Werewolves? Absolutely frowned upon. ...even though Alpha Magnus MacCallan ignites her inner desires stronger than hellfire. 'What We Do in the Shadows' meets 'Sex & the City' in this enchanted tale of sexual awakening! Get ready for a journey filled with chills, thrills and cauldrons full of laughter ☆ [BOOK ONE IN THE WINTERHAVEN DUOLOGY]
