He needs a bride. She wants justice.
With infighting and the potential of a civil war plaguing the enchanting town of Selenium, Victoria Quinn finds herself at a loss. Her birthright as the next all-powerful Enchantress of Selenium is written among the stars. Training to lead the next generation of witches and warlocks proves difficult when the civil unrest among the magical factions of Selenium gives way to a lycan invasion. The nearby vampire king, Matthieu Sinclair, offers Selenium a bargain they can't refuse. He offers them protection under the Kingdom of Vampyre in exchange for a bride of his choosing.
While fully aware of her power and untapped potential, Victoria is taken aback when Matthieu chooses her over the other more captivatingly beautiful bachelorettes in Selenium. Much to Matthieu's dismay, Victoria has more important things than marriage on her mind. But if she thinks trying to solve the political unrest in Selenium is exhausting enough, she's in for a whirlwind of intrigue as soon as she joins Matthieu's side on the Supernatural High Court. Can Victoria make the most of a muddied marriage to assume her role as the Enchantress of Selenium, or will everyone from the lycans to the sirens rip her to shreds? In this paranormal chess game of life and death, who can she trust?

Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***
The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run.

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.
