What if Beauty was cursed, and the Beast was the only one who could save her? Don't miss WITHERING ROSE, a dystopian romance from bestselling author Kaitlyn Davis that reimagines the classic fairy tale of Beauty & The Beast.
"As the heat finally disappeared, I felt the bloom blossom in the very core of my soul, a rose just like my name--a ticking clock hidden behind a façade of beauty. From that moment on, my life would become a countdown, and all I could do was wait and watch as the petals of time slowly started to fall."
Omorose Bouchene has a secret--magic. There's only one problem. At the age of seven, an earthquake struck, catapulting her into a new world. A land made of skyscrapers and cell phones. Fast cars and fluorescent lights. A land where magic isn't supposed to exist and anyone who wields it is the enemy.
But after ten years of hiding, she's desperate to find a place where she can be free. Because all magic comes with a curse, and her curse is time--every ounce of power she uses strips days off of her life. The clock is winding down, and the only option left is to escape to the realm of the Beast. But the king of monsters isn't what he seems. And the more Omorose opens her heart, the more she comes to realize that the only person she may need to fear is herself.
*This is the second book in Once Upon A Curse, a series of interconnected stand-alone novels all set in the same fantasy universe.

Empire is saved, but the world is still in danger. Kairos Empire: I joined forces with my aunts to drive out the demon king, Uruk'Zu, but we lost Phoenix to his powers along the way.

Things would be hard enough to handle, but I'm working side by side with Sorin Vargyr, my sacred bond-mate and the man I swore to never love. Too bad it's not working and the more I fight, the harder I fall.

My body trembled, but not from the cold. "You frighten me." His brow twitched, eyes darting around the features of my face. "Frighten, or excite?" His gaze dropped to my mouth.

She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it... For nearly eighteen years, Adaira Young has been able to hide from the monsters that plague her small village. Every year in Kinnot, a name must be drawn to be offered to the beasts from the mountains. Once they are sacrificed and disappear through the gates, they are never seen again.

A Wolf's Courage(Tales of Europa Book 1)
🥀Heat licks up my bones and into the surrounding skin, my groan of pleasure joining Damaris's low growl of desire. However, his lips stay as gentle as his grip on my waist, allowing me to choose how far this will go. My throat rumbles as I purr from his hand slowly trailing up my arm to the side of my neck. My head clouds from the tingling sensation sparking along my flesh, a moment rich like the heady scent of roses and abruptly dashed by the sound of running feet.🌹 (🥉Third Place Best Male Protagonist Award, The Booker Awards) 🐺A fantasy world filled with magic and adventure 🗡 📜The secondary language is Latin🗝 The four walls of the twisting tower was her sanctuary.

[Full] The Shifters series, Book 1: A Red Bride for the Beast(en.)
My "Shifters series" is a spin-off series from the world of my "AGGELOI" series. It consists of standalone novels featuring various fantasy creatures as main characters, which I have previously mentioned in "AGGELOI", exist on Earth. Since I didn't have the opportunity to delve into the story of these creatures in my "AGGELOI" series, I decided to present them here, starting with this werewolf fantasy book. ************* It was a week before Christmas when my world collapsed. It was a bright, sunny, and beautiful day when I learned that I was chosen as one of the "red brides!" I had just come of age. I feared that this day would eventually come. Every girl who came of age had to be offered as a sacrifice to the Beast! How was I to know that reality was far from my imagination, that the Beast was the sexiest man I had ever seen? But why did everyone believe he was a Beast? Why, from the moment I saw him, did I feel willing to let him even kill me?Complete
