When interior designer Sophia Hearth accepts a once-in-a-lifetime contract to restore a crumbling palace in the heart of the Arabian desert, she expects dusty walls and ancient history, not Sheikh Rayan Al-Malik.
Commanding. Infuriating. Devastatingly handsome. He wants the palace preserved exactly as it stands. She wants to breathe new life into its forgotten beauty. But as the desert sun sets and the tension between them ignites, Sophia begins to wonder if she came to restore the palace or to awaken the heart of the man who guards it.
In a world where tradition and desire collide, can two stubborn souls find a love worth fighting for? Or will the sands of time bury what could have been forever?

And truth is lurking behind the walls of Regnum, will the truth win over hate, lies and death? Bringing you the first heart wrenching story of our heroine Danae, from the town of Regnum. --- "Danae you ask?" The boy drops his voice. "She is strong but can be a stuck up. She doesn't have any friends and well, I don't know how to say it but she is lonely. Always has her nose in a book and if you try to talk to her, she will scare you off." He whispers the last part like it's a secret. "Take my advice, stay away from her." Then he's gone, disappearing back into his crowd. But here's the thing about warnings: they only make you more curious. And Danae Elrod has never been as simple as the rumors make her sound.

The human race stands on the brink of extinction; the result of a plague the likes of which the world has never seen. When salvation comes, it isn't a miracle cure created by science or our government that saves us. No, our saviors are monsters. Jane appears to be nothing special. In fact, she's a sad sight to behold, afflicted by the sorrow of her tragic past and failing marriage. The young wife and mother of two finds herself just as terrified as every other soul when humanity faces doom. Yet, when hope seems lost, Jane does something even her estranged husband fails to--she fights. And she's not alone. David and his companions are what our world has dismissed as mere legend. Their duty to the human race brings them across the country--and they all know it is no coincidence when they cross paths with Jane. As it happens, Jane is special. She's destined to be the very center of our world's fate. With her heart divided and monsters from every nightmare seeking her out, Jane will quickly learn the greatest war is the one within. So what will she do when they realize she's the greatest monster of them all? ✦Gods & Monsters is the first book of the Gods & Monsters trilogy, an emotional and epic tale of one woman's battle against true monsters while she endures her greatest fight--the war with her own inner-demon.

I have never hated someone with every fiber of my being before until I heard about Rosina Scott, my boyfriend's wife-to-be. If Evans thinks he's going to live happily ever after with Rosina, then he's being delusional. I will not sacrifice ten years of my life for a man only for him to leave me for a woman young enough to be my kid sister. I'm not a jealous ex. It's just not fair that Evans will humiliate me like this, after everything I did for him. He thinks he has gotten rid of me. Well, he hasn't. He has no idea what I'm capable of.
