Aurelie Graham never felt golden; despite her name. She's awkward, unsure of herself, and tongue-tied around her crush Hayes Ledger. But when a cryptic shopkeeper slips her a journal that writes back, Aurelie is thrust into the Kingdom of Shadows: a world where whispers prey on doubt, people lose their souls to darkness, and prophecy speaks of a Golden One who will restore the light. Torn between her steadfast friend Hayes (who she's secretly crushing on) and a dazzling prince who seems to fit the prophecy better than she ever could, Aurelie must survive three impossible trials, or risk both worlds slipping into shadow.

House of Bellini
Every generation bears the sins of the last. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence.

Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.
