Quiet Courage
Cienn lun'Orater was almost your average bored-with-life noble heir. Always hiding from insistent girls intent on sharing his title. Usually with the help of his twin sister, Cerenae. Then in one dark night with a sudden revelation of his latent magical abilities he is forced to run away from the only life he's ever known and join the magical Rebellion. A far different whirlwind than the one of satin and lace he's left behind. He's then told that he is the key to an ancient prophecy said to bring about the return of magic and the Gods to their rightful thrones. While dealing with his newfound magical gifts he must race across the countryside with two of the most powerful mages of the day - the handsome and quick-witted leader of the Rebellion himself: Kourokain (Kain) Admontan, and the spunky all-powerful sorceress Charna of Idaine. By way of an ancient and powerful book, Cienn must master his gifts and decide if he really is the catalyst for victory everyone keeps telling him he is. Can he handle the weight of destiny and a nation at war with itself on his shoulders? And let's not even mention how he feels whenever he catches sight of that handsome rebel leader, Kain.Complete

The Blood of Amietta
A loner with a bad attitude and a misplaced princess are forced to work together to free themselves from a hitchstone, a magical jail cell powerful enough to trap an entire town. Mila Wilde had no idea what she was getting herself into when she decided to take a peek inside of a strange metal box. Or maybe she did- she can't remember. Either way, it's a decision that she can't take back. Without her memories, Mila has no choice but to place her trust in Noelani, a spoiled princess from a faraway land. A task easier said than done. Between practicing her newfound magic and figuring out her complicated past, Mila finds that she is quite reluctant to leave the princess's side. Even if that means forgetting about the family she's been trying to locate since she was twelve. Blood is thicker than water. At least that's what her mother taught her- but Mila isn't so sure about that anymore. Not when her mother is against the only thing that has ever made her feel powerful. And the only person that Mila would ever trust with her life. Maybe it's time for a new lesson. Sometimes broken things can't be mended. Mila can feel it in her blood.Complete

! WARNING G!P ! Betrayed by her fiancé, framed by her family, and cast out with nothing but her fury, Nora Winters swears to destroy those who shattered her life-no matter the cost. Desperate and vengeful, she summons Azara Sinclair, a powerful devil cloaked in allure and danger, who offers her the means to rise from the ashes and claim her revenge. The price? Not her soul, not her life, but three kisses each night. Suspicious but consumed by rage, Nora agrees. As Azara dismantles her enemies with effortless precision, Nora begins to question who is truly in control. What starts as a cold bargain soon becomes something far more dangerous-a temptation she can't resist and a bond she never expected. But revenge always comes at a cost, and deadly forces are closing in. To protect themselves, Nora and Azara are forced into a fake marriage, blurring the lines between pretense and desire. As passion and peril intertwine, they must confront the truth of their connection-or risk losing everything, including their souls. Will Nora reclaim the life she lost, or surrender her heart to the devil who's stealing it three kisses at a time?
The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete
