Deception leads to unexpected results.
Growing up with a strict mother isn't Rowena Audley's ideal childhood. Especially when her mother ingrains the art of seduction at an early age. Already twenty-one years old, Rowena's mother had passed away leaving a series of letters addressed to the Royal Palace.
Finding out the contents of the journal, Rowena travels to the Royal Place with vengeance in her heart as she carries her mother's wish. A wish that wrecks havoc inside her soul and her adamant determination as she meets the ruthless son of the drunkard king.
To ensure the safety of her vengeance, she creates another identity of Nora; a seductress. By day, Rowena works as a chamber maiden for the queen while by night, she goes by Nora gathering information that can topple the monarchy. But things gets interesting when Nora suddenly piques the malevolent prince's suspicion. Before she knows it, she entangles herself in a treacherous game of cat and mouse as she struggles to keep her two identities a secret while suddenly finding herself under the savage clutches of Cedric Caldwell. Does Rowena has what it takes to entice him under her control or will he see through all of her disguises?

Battle in the Storm
In grief, she found vengeance. In vengeance, she may lose herself. Dr. Lydia Allard wanted to heal. War taught her how to hunt. Eleven years after the Fae opened portals into Earth, sparking war and misery across human cities and wildlands. Lydia-once a leading physician studying the lethal residue of Fae magic-has already paid the war's highest price: her parents and her young daughter. When her brother's experimental portal briefly succeeds and is then destroyed to keep it from the wrong hands, the only path into the Fae realm is through the enemy's own magics. With a rogue team-including a half-Fae ally-Lydia plans a perilous infiltration: pass as Fae within a human-realm based war camp to be carried through the gates into the heart of their realm to find the one who took her very soul. But the deeper they go, the more the war's narrative unravels. The magic that mummifies the dead whispers of design, not chaos. Allegiances blur. And a hidden architect seems intent on feeding two worlds into the same fire. Driven by a mother's grief and a scientist's precision, Lydia must navigate knives, lies, and a power awakening in her own bloodline-before the true enemy turns both realms into kindling.
The Silver Prince
For 17-year-old Nyx Madden, stealing shadows is second nature. This rare power allows her to control the person whose shadow she holds. And, since she's been on her own for the past five years, it's her only chance at survival. But Nyx's life in the shadows is jeopardized when she is visited by Victor, the enigmatic leader of the criminal underworld. Somehow, he discovered that she is the faceless Shadow Thief, Itoria's most wanted criminal. If he reveals her identity, she'll be hanged. Victor strikes a deal with Nyx. He'll give her more gold than she knows what to do with in exchange for the shadow of Itoria's Silver Prince, thus nicknamed for his fickle nature and careless wealth. Nyx readily agrees, as this may be the last shadow she ever has to steal. And, considering the Silver Prince's rotten reputation, Itoria can only improve with him out of the way. In order to take the prince's shadow, Nyx must uncover his greatest fear and confront him with it. She infiltrates the castle, where she discovers that nothing in Itoria is as it seems, including the prince himself. Stuck under his dying father's thumb, the Silver Prince has little freedom-but his selfish, callow nature might be hiding a golden heart. With her identity hanging in the balance, Nyx finds the fate of the entire kingdom in her hands-and her own heart in the hands of the Silver Prince.Complete

The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?Complete

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
