Unfortunately, when she puts the idea in his head to throw a ball to find a suitable bride, he gets it in his own head that it would be the perfect setting to find her a husband.

At the Sova’s royal ball, Olga and Nasir find themselves caught in a compromising position. Now King Nasir must marry Princess Olga or her brother will pull his support from the war efforts.

When an impossible encounter with a mythological Shadow of Death leaves Ema critically injured, she finds herself at the mercy of three men from a rival clan — and they know exactly who she is.

Lord Commander Saitama Ren faces dwindling allies and the demands of a merciless high lord. The last thing he needs is a wanted criminal on his hands — especially one who saves his life.

Yet despite her unknown allegiances, she may be the key to preventing his clan’s demise.
A bond born from the shadows.

I should have left that reckless lordling dangling from the damn cliff …
With a corrupt magistrate breathing down my neck, a magical affinity to keep hidden, and my slightly illegal propensity for relic hunting, it’s all I can do to keep Aunt Grace and myself from destitution.
There’s no time left for anything else!
Not the far-too-cheerful mage, Lord Elimri Westin, who feels indebted to me for saving his life. Nor the prickly monster-hunter, Lynk, who seems to think his job includes protecting me. And certainly not Jaiel, the smug Fae prince who cares for nothing but himself.
No. I’m better off on my own.
But the magistrate won’t let up, and one short conversation with his wife makes my whole world crumble.
Now, my last chance at keeping Aunt Grace safe lies in locating a rare relic in the ruins near our estate.
It’s a long shot, and I’ll have to team up with those vexing men to do it … but what other choice do I have?
Meet the stubbornly independent Kaiya Maderoth and the first three of her infuriating men in this action packed first book of the Isle of the Forsaken series – a full length, slow-burn, new adult reverse harem fantasy romance.
If you love adventure, angsty romance, lost civilizations, fast-paced action, magical creatures, twisted magic, and gaslamp-style fantasy … then this is the series for you.
This series is meant for mature readers. It features language, violence, sexual situations, and the heroine will not need to choose between her love interests to get her HEA.

Unfortunately, a haunted forest and the three legendary wise women who inhabit it are just as determined to hide their secrets from the rest of the world.
For millennia, the Aeghrum Forest, and the powerful Earth Stone it safeguards, have been protected by the Guardian, the Guide, and the Keeper. With the legacy of her mother’s unprecedented betrayal casting a long shadow, Kory is uncompromisingly dedicated to her role as the current Guardian.
Her determination and rigid loyalty never once wavered. Until she finds a wounded stranger asleep on the floor of her cottage.

A playboy prince in want of a decoy bride.
A servant girl desperate for a disguise…
Raven shifter Prince Franco is every social climbing debutante’s dream. He’s handsome, heir to the Lunar Court throne, and deliciously single. Every young woman wants to bed him, wed him, or steal a moment of his time. Except, of course, for Ember Montgomery.
Half-fae Ember craves freedom from her conniving stepfamily. As if they weren’t enough to deal with, a chance encounter with the arrogant Prince Franco leaves her humiliated and in a fiery rage. Nothing could convince her the prince is anything but a rake. But when the opportunity to evade her scheming stepmother falls into her lap, she’ll pay the price—even if it means impersonating the prince’s newest flame…
To prove himself a worthy heir, Prince Franco must marry a princess. But after far too many unsatisfying trysts, he’s given up on love. With the social season in full swing, and bringing with it a horde of husband-hungry socialites, he’ll do anything to delay the pressures of both marriage and the crown. And what better solution than an alliance with a desperate servant girl glamoured as his false future bride?
Locked in a bargain, Ember must pose as a princess until midnight at the full moon ball. Until then, all she has to do is wear the glamour, pretend to court the prince, and above all else, not fall in love. But when feelings emerge on both sides, she starts to wonder if there’s more to their contrived courtship than either of them planned…
Can Ember and Franco find love when the masks come off? Or will illusions and lies prove stronger than their hearts?

With the Order of Terra and the Tower of Magic now serving the Crown, Emaurria is stronger than ever, but the threats it now faces might lead to the kingdom’s undoing. Locked in open war against the Divinity of Magic, Emaurria is in grave danger and, worse, divided at its core.
