might be the thing that saves her… or destroys her.

Darna is just a guildswoman, or so she’d like to think, but her alleged father was the prince of a backwater province. Now he’s been assassinated, and her uncle has put a price on Darna’s head to secure his claim on the throne. Darna takes her lover’s place in a job that will take her away from the city and, she hopes, away from assassins’ daggers. Her new employer, the prince, is irate to find that the able-bodied man he hired has been replaced by a limping woman. According to the contract, they’re stuck together for the year. The prince is arrogant, but also intelligent and well-read. As winter closes in, their late night conversations turn from sea walls to more intimate territory. Meanwhile, the province’s lost dragon reappears, and even the prince can see it. This book is the second in the Dragonsfall trilogy. It is recommended that you read The Defenders' Apprentice first. The story also refers back to some events which took place in the two prequel novels, Scrapplings and Priestess.

Dragons are real. They live among us. But not for much longer…   Strong and powerful Grigori Barinov never thought his very existence could be erased by a mortal woman. But when she discovers proof of his magical bloodline, she threatens to expose him and the rest of the dragon shifters to the world in order to save her job.   He kidnaps the woman and carries her off to his lonely palace in Russia. He’s prepared to do whatever it takes to stop her from going public with his fatal secret. He’ll murder, manipulate, imprison… Anything… Except fall in love.

Here's a natural, hook-driven English version suitable for overseas romance readers:

Three years into her marriage, she finally became pregnant with her husband's child.

But instead of joy, she was handed divorce papers.

He abandoned her in the hospital while she was bleeding, choosing to rush to his ex instead.

She buried the secret of her pregnancy and demanded a $2 billion divorce settlement.

Everyone thought she was bluffing.

No one realized she was truly planning to leave with their baby and never look back.

But his ex wouldn't let her go. She framed her, provoked her, and stole everything she had, while her husband chose his ex over her every single time, even nearly costing her the baby.

Just when she gave up on him for good, the truth behind the plagiarism was exposed, and his ex's web of lies began to unravel.

Only then did the man who couldn't wait to divorce her realize he hadn't just pushed away the woman who loved him.

He had also lost the child they had created together.

By the time he came begging for a second chance, she was already gone for good.

Blurb

The fire crackled in the hearth, shadows leaping across the stone walls. I sat stiffly on the edge of the leather couch, every nerve in my body screaming to run. He was behind me, I could feel it the weight of his presence pressed down like a storm about to break.

“Why are you so quiet?” Darren’s voice rolled low, a rumble that made the air vibrate.

“Because I don’t know what will get me killed,” I muttered, staring at my trembling hands.

He chuckled, the sound sharp, humorless. “You think too highly of yourself. If I wanted you dead, little rogue, you’d already be ash on that fire.”

I turned, meeting his eyes despite the terror clawing at my chest. “Then why keep me here? Why not finish it?”

His gaze darkened, and for a moment I thought he might. He moved closer, slow, deliberate, each step like the strike of a drum. When he stopped, towering above me, the room felt smaller, suffocating.

“Because you’re mine,” he said simply. No softness, no warmth just a fact, carved out of stone.

I flinched. “I never asked to be.”

He bent lower, his breath brushing my ear. “The moon doesn’t ask either. She commands. And so do I.”

His words settled into me like poison and honey at once, leaving me trembling with equal parts fury and need. I wanted to curse him, strike him, claw my way free but instead, I sat frozen, his shadow swallowing mine whole.

Xander hated her as she was a weak wolf, but then, fate had a lot for them.

"I hate you, Master," I moan as he thrusts in me.
"Say you love me," he says, trailing kisses around my neck.
"I am going to cum, oh, please, make me cum," I beg, thrusting my hips.
"Not until I hear those words from your pretty lips, wife," he argues.
"I love you," I cry out as he rubs my clit, still banging into me.
"Cum for me, Princessa," he tells me.
And oh Jesus, I cum so badly that I almost go blind.

I hate my Master, he wants me dead just like he did with my parents, and we are enemies from hell, but whenever that luscious tongue of his touches my pussy, I can't resist him, I just melt.

“This isn’t some kind of a joke, is it?”
I shrug, unable to fight a grin. “Try and see.”

So he tries. Owen leans in and kisses me, and I am surprised by the speed of the fire it sends through my body. I didn’t realize how much I’d been waiting for it,
but as soon as his lips are on mine I kiss him back and weave an arm around his body to hold him closer.

When his shirt is off, I can’t help but run my fingers over his chest and abdomen, tracing the lines of his muscles before allowing my hand to slide further down.
With a cheeky grin, I palm him through the jeans—and Owen growls again, pushing me on my back and holding my hands against the bed...

*As a new Alpha of the Pack, Owen appeared in our little village, certainly with the obnoxious domineering personality to match.
However, he is ignorant of one important detail which is that, for shifters like him, the witchcraft and magical energies prevalent in the area pose a menace.
Since I met him, my body has started experiencing weird things... Could he unlock the real me?

Never did she knew that one act was going to change her life forever.

At the moment when all love she got was lost, the moment when the world and people she trusted turned their back on her, that very moment when death came dragging her feet with no one to help or hear her scream.

He appeared right beside her, ready to break the rules for her sake, at first it was to repay her kindness, but something about her sparkled up light in his dark heart, those strong walls around his heart was melting down.

He is the Vampire Lord, she is a Werewolf. Two enemies that should stay far away from each other.

He was her fated mate... and her father's killer.

Heartbroken and abandoned, Aria's world shatters further when she learns she's pregnant. Refusing to let her child be defined by a legacy of blood and betrayal, she raises her son in secret, with the help of her best friend and protector, Noah.

Years later, fate brings them together again in the most dangerous of places,rogue territory. As past and present collide, buried truths surface, and longheld emotions ignite.
