Robin Swift is a young woman with a temper as hot as flames. To say she was a spitfire would be an understatement. She would do anything for the band of orphans she calls a family, even stand up to the cruel Mayor and his wife. She hears that a neighboring kingdom's ruler has arrived in town, so she forms a plan to reveal the Mayor's true nature in front of him, a plan that will secure her and her orphans' safety.
Blake Thornewood is a powerful man, yes, but lonely. As a prince, he has spent many years searching for a woman that would make him happy, but he never found her. He grew sick of the women that crowded around him, every one as vain as a peacock and as fragile as a porcelain doll. But still he longed for companionship, to have someone who could rule beside him. Perhaps that's why, when he saw a certain red-headed woman bravely stand up to the corrupt mayor, he was so instantly captivated. He knew in a heartbeat that he needed her, that she was the one who would fill the void in his heart. And he would do anything to have her.

Captive Hearts
What began as a territorial conflict spiraled into a years-long war-fought across shattered cities, burning forests, and broken families. Loyalties were tested. Lines blurred. Heroes rose in silence, not for recognition, but because someone had to. And in the middle of it all... a soldier and a prisoner. This is not the story of kings and queens. This is the story of two people caught on opposite sides of a war. In a world torn apart by war, Lysana Laurent is little more than a pawn. The daughter of a powerful rebel general, she has spent her life in the shadow of battles she never fought-until the war crashes through her doorstep. Kidnapped from her quiet village, Lysana awakens in a cold, dark cell, bound and helpless, with only the scent of blood and decay to remind her of the horrors that brought her here.

A man who serves under General Kael, the very enemy her father has spent years fighting. Lysana is terrified. She knows what happens to prisoners of war, and Ryder's taunts only fuel the fear curling in her stomach. Her father will not come for her. No one will. Lysana must survive on her own, trapped in the hands of a man who seems to thrive on fear, a man who holds her fate in his hands with an infuriating smirk.

God of Storms
God of Storms Book I in the Ruined Gods series The kingdom of Brumefall knows better than to wake their grief-stricken King. His rage is as relentless as the storms he commands, his wrath a legend whispered in fear. Yet a reckless dare leads Princess Aura Valienne of Elarion to do the unthinkable-climbing the fortress and rousing the slumbering storm after more than a century. Now, there is no escape. Faced with an ultimatum-death or servitude-Princess Aura is bound to King Gabriel Ashford until he decides she has paid for her mistake. But her royal blood is undeniable, and even as a prisoner, she refuses to break. There is more to Aura than just her lineage, and the Storm God senses it from the moment he sets his eyes on her. The longer she remains in his realm, the more the Princess realizes the feared King is not just a monster, but a man haunted by loss and fury. Despite the danger, she finds herself drawn to his tempest. Lord Adrian Lockworth, King Gabriel's closest friend and confidant, offers Princess Mary Valienne a place in the castle, ensuring the sisters do not have to be apart. His quiet admiration and gentle guidance offer a refuge amid the chaos, but as fate tightens its grip, even the softest hearts may be tested beyond anything they ever imagined. Some forces should never be woken. And some storms can never be tamed. "You locked me in like a prisoner." "You're not a prisoner. You're alive. There's a difference." "You think that justifies it?" "I think it kept you from being killed," he said flatly. "So yes, I do." Aura narrowed her eyes. "And what if I don't want to be safe at the cost of my freedom?" "And what if I don't want to lose you at the cost of your pride?" Copyright © 2025 by gardneranastasia ***All rights reserved.
