Some bloodlines are whispered about in legends. Hers was forged in fire.
Kerri-Anne Golden never believed in fairy tales-especially not the kind that promised happy endings. Raised by a bitter mother and scarred by a string of failed relationships, she's tired of being the second choice in her own story. But when a letter from a father she's never met draws her to a secluded cabin deep in the woods, everything she thought she knew begins to unravel.
There, in the heart of an ancient forest, Kerri discovers her true inheritance: a legacy of wolves, flame, and a prophecy that calls her the last Emberheart. Dreams blur into reality. Strangers become allies. And in the arms of a mysterious man with secrets of his own, she begins to understand that love-real love-doesn't demand silence. It demands fire.
But claiming her power means confronting the truth about her past, challenging a dangerous rival who wants to control her fate, and choosing who she is... even if it means standing alone.
A story of ancestral magic, fierce identity, and the fire that lives inside us all, Born of Flame and Fang is a powerful fantasy romance about rising from the ashes and refusing to be tamed.

Blood Feud: Heart of Flames
Pain! Pain! Excruciating pain! And the agony of betrayal! That's all she felt, that's all she could think of. Her once beautiful and soulful eyes now dead, replaced with tears of blood. Her heart-once warm and beating-cut open, now turned to stone. Her mind, body, and soul had died in the fire which consumed and reshaped her. Her heart bled, her eyes bled, her mouth bled-they all bled blood. Her heart, once betrayed by love, closed off to love with only one feeling keeping it alive: hatred-extreme hatred. Never to love again. Betrayed, stabbed, injured, torn apart-she experienced it all. But... now given a second chance to change everything, she swore to make those who caused her to lose everything burn down with her in her heart of flames. And then he said to her, "You want to burn them all? I'll be the spark to your flames. We will burn them all together in your heart of flames."

This book explores the blurred lines between love and obsession, protection and control, redemption and corruption. The ending sets up significant psychological conflict that challenges traditional romance dynamics. Synopsis: Fire doesn't ask for permission, it consumes. Celeste never asked to be extraordinary. When fire wakes beneath her skin and destroys everything she's ever known, she's taken from the quiet streets of Lahbell to the Southern Condinian Elite Academy-a fortress built to shape elemental soldiers from the ashes of fear. Inside its steel walls, rules are absolute, emotions are weaknesses, and failure is erased. But Celeste doesn't burn quietly. Between secret missions, rivalries, and whispered betrayals, she begins to uncover the truth behind Condinia's power, and the reason her own flames refuse to obey. Then there's Andrew: the soldier forged from fire and control. And Mark: the kinetic fighter who meets chaos with a grin. Both draw her in for reasons she can't name, and both force her to decide what her power is truly for-destruction, or protection. As darkness rises beyond the borders and loyalty fractures within, Celeste must confront the thing she fears most: that the fire inside her was never meant to be contained. Bound by Fire is a cinematic romantasy about survival, trust, and the bonds that are tested in war-where found family burns brightest in the shadows.
