Six years ago, the Citadel burned Verum to the ground for an unspeakable crime; the theft of an unhatched deathling. Verum's allies rose up against them in retaliation, held at bay only by the Citadel's military elite: the Rider Corps. Trained soldiers on dragonback continue the war against Verum's allies and the search for the deathling, but when a Riders Corps commander accepts a Verumese survivor as a recruit, the Citadel balks. It is a strategic move for intel, but Breana Avery's knowledge of what happened at Verum may come at a price too steep to pay.

☕ Sugar & Steam (ForceBook)
When Force walks away from a corporate job to renovate a forgotten café in his hometown, the last thing he expects is to be saddled with a business partner-especially one like Book. Book is everything Force isn't: loud, unpredictable, messy, and too charming for his own good. He also happens to be an incredibly talented pastry chef... and dangerously good at pushing Force's buttons. Between spilled flour, shared late nights, and stolen glances across the kitchen counter, the tension between them starts to rise-hot, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. One reckless kiss turns into something deeper. One night becomes two, and then many. But lust is easy. Love? That's where things get complicated. As the café begins to thrive, so does their connection-until fear, pride, and past wounds threaten to tear it all down. In a world full of burnt coffee, broken ovens, and beautiful mistakes, Force and Book will learn that some things are worth risking everything for... especially each other.Complete
