WHEN LEGENDS SPARK

Firestarter and Swordsman:
A Spicy Winter Fantasy Romance

A firestarter of unmatched power,
The most legendary swordsman alive,
And the sparks that will ignite their worlds…

Kazuron is happy with his isolated life, but everything changes when he discovers a kidnapped firestarter in the snowy expanse of the Frozen Wilds.

Since the people Jesra made herself small for betrayed her, she’s ready to use her magical fire to burn those bridges with prejudice. Unfortunately, she can’t do it alone. While Kazuron may be the only person she’s felt at home with, he’s retired and doesn’t need her problems.

But shocking no one more than him, he wants them—and her, with all her magnificent fire—to stay. If only he had something to offer her beyond choosing each other’s battles, because Kazuron’s enemies and the past he’d thought behind him are back and more treacherous than Jesra’s.

With the sanctuary of the Frozen Wilds threatened, it will take both their skills to fight the combined forces after them—if they can trust each other to stand by them when they demonstrate just how much they’re really capable of, and reach for a brighter future together.

When Legends Spark is a spicy, action-packed winter fantasy romance novella about two weapons who’ve been feared for their power their whole lives finding a place and a person they can be their full glorious selves with—and discovering what they’re capable of together when they make the choice to wield themselves.

This book is self-contained and functions as a stand-alone but will eventually be the first in a series.

THE SORCERESS TRANSCENDENT

“I had nowhere else to go.”

When Varius, the greatest general of the Aurelian Empire, is forced to flee his homeland, there’s only one person he can turn to.

A powerful sorceress and once his most deadly enemy, Theira is the only combatant who’s ever escaped the war between their peoples. But with the memories of how they kept each other going from opposite sides of a battlefield, when a bleeding Varius knocks on her door, she lets him in, even knowing what will follow.

Theira may have gotten away, but as long as the war goes on, she’ll never really be free. Now with both their peoples actively hunting them, the two most dangerous fighters in a never-ending war will have to join forces to do the impossible: end it once and for all, on their terms.

And if they can dare to dream boldly enough, maybe find happiness for themselves, too.

The Sorceress Transcendent is a stand-alone enemies-to-lovers epic fantasy romance novella about badasses who enjoy a cozy cup of tea after a long day wreaking epic destruction, because why choose?

CONSIDER THE DUST

In a world where a select few obtain godlike combat powers, one woman is going to shatter the universe.

The empress of the celestial palace has been omnipotent for centuries, but Kiran has a mysterious magic weapon and a plan to overthrow her, today—or so she claims.

Mai has her own magic blade, doesn’t trust Kiran as deeply as she can stab her with it, and is very, very good at stabbing. Not even Kiran can hope to stand against her anymore—or so she thinks.

Two lifelong rivals, or best friends. Definitely one of those.

One chance to change everything, or lose everything, forever.

Consider the Dust is a stand-alone novella and an epic adventure about the power of legends, hope, and fighting for your beliefs with everything you have.

The Diamond Scar by Lisette Marshall

She doesn’t want to marry. Neither does he. What could possibly go wrong?

Forced to spend her Midwinter celebration at court, Hythra devises the perfect plan to keep unwanted suitors away. All she needs is the company of the last man who’ll ever try to marry her: a drunkard who’s made his dislike of her abundantly clear. Except it turns out Cai is not that much of a drunk at all – and worse, that he doesn’t really dislike her, either. But dark family secrets and erratic magic aren’t so easily defeated, and on the longest night of the year, time is running out…

Kazuron thought with retirement he’d escaped the demands of his past, while Jesra’s safe, boring life has just been stolen from her.

When the combined forces of their enemies threaten the sanctuary of the Frozen Wilds, they know they’ll never be able to keep the unexpected home they find in each other—unless they’re willing to risk demonstrating to each other, and the world, just how much danger they’re really capable of…

Blood Legacy by Vela Roth

In a snowbound castle on the brink of war, can she stop the dangerous immortal who once captured her heart?

Tahmina may be ancient and powerful, but she’s always had a weakness for Zeno, the human lover she gave up a decade before. Now he’s an immortal Hesperine like her, more tempting than ever with his new fangs. Too bad it’s her duty to arrest him before he destroys the delicate truce between mortals and Hesperines. Zeno sacrificed his lordly status in the human world, while Tahmina left him to face eternity alone. When he infiltrates the castle where his old enemies are snowed in, he won’t let the beautiful Hesperine stand in his way – or escape him a second time. Now that his power matches hers, can he make her admit they’re fated to Crave each other’s blood forever?

Heart of Blood and Ice by Laura Greenwood

An assassin doesn’t have any space in her heart for anyone else…or so she’s been told.

Trained as a deadly assassin since the moment she arrived at court, Sariah knows that her duty to House Dagworth comes before all else, especially her heart. When Sariah finds herself at the altar opposite the man she most wants to see there, but least wants to kill, she knows that she’s going to have a choice to make. Is she strong enough to let her heart decide?

Wicked is the Reaper by Nisha J. Tuli

It’s the day of the Hunt, and I’ve always known it would decide my future. The man who brings the largest stag to the feet of my father will win my hand in marriage. My oldest friend and the greatest hunter in Aetherus is favored to win, and we’ve planned our entire lives together. That is, until the Reaper, the monster who haunts the trees, arrives with the largest stag in the forest and claims me as his own.
