The Dragon Prince's Consort
Desperate people will do desperate things to survive. Wealth, privilege, and power don't always lead to happiness. Money can't buy everything, but freedom has a heavy price tag. Family dynamics can be a royal pain. Love can be a choice. Fang knows trouble. Alien moneylenders, late rent, unpaid debts and generational poverty have all driven her to make a lot of really bad choices - including taking a last-minute job entertaining a wealthy Drass in hopes that she'll make enough cash to escape freezing Anun and start over. Again. Her client is an odd one, but at least he's sweet, gentle and surprisingly cute for a species that looks like a cross between a demon and a dragon, horns and all. After a night of delicious wine, soft kisses and blistering passion Fang drifts off to dreams of warm clothes, regular meals and a place she can call home. Valen has it all: money, power, a name that guarantees him a life of ease and unimaginable luxury - but he leads a lonely, purposeless life in his father's house and his only friends are paid to look after him. So when a human woman appears in his bedroom, nude and claiming to be his birthday present, he can't help but wonder if he's finally gone mad. But she is real, she is lovely, and she is his for the night. For now Valen can forget who he is, and as he falls asleep with her in his arms he dreams of her becoming a more frequent visitor. Dawn reveals a horrifying truth, and two strangers are forced to put their trust in each other amid a web of secrets, lies, politics and familial strife. Putting on their best faces in public Fang and Valen must convince their respective people that they can work together for the greater good, and in private their relationship begins to develop from one of convenience into something far more complicated.Complete
The Assassin and the Crown of Stars
"There had been a time, long ago, long before even Nova was alive, when not everything was made from rusted metal and broken scraps. When there were creatures besides humans and the sky had been blue and visible through the clouds of smoke. When there had been clean water and fresh air. But that had been before The War, before the radiation had sent the surviving humans underground or into the Terra-dome. Blinding hate and anger hit Nova so hard she choked. This is what she was fighting for, a better future, a better world, for her people. And the people sitting, unbothered and comfortable, on the other side of the gleaming white walls of the palace were the only thing standing in her way. " Nova, the nineteen-year-old spy assassin with a troubled past and an uncertain future, will stop at nothing to give her people a chance at survival. Even if that means spending her life on the run from the law and putting herself and team in constant danger. As time and resources run out, Nova knows this assassination attempt might the entire world's only chance at survival.Complete
