Two hundred years ago, a scorned witch cursed the Ashgrove bloodline to wear the shape of the monsters she believed them to be — until one heir could prove capable of a love freely given. Now Kael Ashgrove is the last of his line, trapped in his beast form on a mountain the crown's maps refuse to acknowledge, and running out of time. Elara arrives at his castle not by choice but by royal order — sent to "cure" him or face arrest herself, a woman whose own magic has made her as inconvenient to the crown as Kael's curse has made him. She has thirty nights to find a way to break two centuries of grief made monstrous. She wasn't counting on falling in love with the beast at the end of them. A slow-burn fated-mates romance of found family, inherited curses, and choosing someone — fully, freely, without an eye on the cost. Short description (Amazon's 400-character metadata field, some Kobo/D2D short fields): A scorned witch's curse trapped the Ashgrove heir in a beast's shape two centuries ago. Now Elara has thirty nights to break it — or be arrested for failing. She wasn't counting on falling in love with the monster at the end of them. A slow-burn fated-mates romance of curses, choice, and love given freely. One-line hook (ad copy, social bios, Amazon's editorial-review-style teaser): She was sent to cure him. She stayed to love him.
Seraphine Ashfire is the last queen of a dying fire dynasty, sworn to guard the single dying ember that is all that remains of her family's power before an ancient prophecy of total darkness comes to pass. Kaelen Vantor is the shadow prince fated to extinguish her — and the only thing that might save them both. When Kaelen arrives at Seraphine's burning capital not as a conqueror but as a man begging sanctuary from the curse consuming him from within, Seraphine must decide whether the enemy who could end everything she is might also be the only one who can keep her flame — and her heart — alive. But the raid that killed her mother has a secret at its root, and the truth, once it surfaces, will test whether fire and shadow were ever really meant to be enemies at all. A steamy, dark, and emotionally charged standalone paranormal romance of forbidden love, buried lies, and a flame that refuses to go o ut.
Elena Marchetti mixes tonics for a living, not miracles. But when the vampire Warden of Ravenscourt summons her to cure an illness three centuries of vampire medicine can't explain, she steps into a castle of secrets — and into the path of a man whose silver eyes see straight through her.
She was crowned to burn. He was sworn to end her. Queen Ash Veyra survived the curse that killed her father — for now. The Ashfire Throne is devouring her from the inside, and the only cure four centuries of dead rulers ever found is a bond she was raised to believe would destroy her faster than the fire itself. Then an assassin's blade stops six inches from her throat — and his shadow swallows her flame whole. Kael Draven, exiled war-captain of the enemy court she deposed, is the one man alive her fire can't touch. Keeping him prisoner should be strategy. Instead, this dark romantasy of cursed magic and enemies-to-lovers tension pulls them into a slow burn neither can survive walking away from: every night he stays is a betrayal of the oath that brought him to kill her, and every night she keeps him close is a step toward a forbidden love that could finally break her crown's curse — or hand both their kingdoms to ruin. The black moon is rising. The throne is running out of time. And the only way to save her kingdom may be to surrender the one thing a queen can never afford to risk: her heart. One-click Queen of the Ashfire Throne today, if you dare to fall for a queen who burns and the shadow sworn to end her.
She was raised to kill his kind. He needs her blood to survive. Liora Ashworth has spent six years hunting the fae who burned her village to ash — until the very prince responsible for her survival drags her into his broken court and binds her to him with a rite older than her kingdom. Now she wears his crown's curse in her own blood, trapped in a forced marriage neither of them chose, surrounded by a fae court that wants her dead and a prince she's sworn to hate. But Kaelen Vantane isn't the monster she remembers from that burning night. As they're forced to rule side by side — training his guard, brokering peace at a poisoned border, uncovering the true architect of her village's destruction — the enemy she swore to destroy becomes the one person standing between her and a war that could shatter both their worlds. And the ancient bond meant only to mend a shattered crown is quietly, dangerously becoming something neither of them can undo. Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. A slow-burn romance with a morally gray fae prince, a heroine who refuses to be anyone's pawn, and a crown that can only be healed by love no one is supposed to survive giving. If you love fated mates, fae courts thick with intrigue, and a romance that earns every bit of its slow burn, Broken Crown of Thorns will keep you up long past midni ght.
An Ancient Bond Between Wolf and Warde Black Pine Wolves, Book One Some bonds aren't made. They're inherited. For three hundred years, an oath has bound the Ashwood wolves to the Warde bloodline — a covenant sealed in blood, sworn to protect, and never once broken. Until now. Alpha Gideon Ashwood was raised on the old stories: the pact, the price, the promise that one day a daughter of House Warde would return to Black Pine to claim what was hers. He never believed he'd be the one to answer when she came. Elena Warde came to Black Pine to bury her grandmother and settle an estate she never knew existed — not to inherit a legacy written in wolves, wards, and blood oaths three centuries old. And she certainly didn't expect the pull she feels toward the scarred, silent Alpha who looks at her like she's something ancient and inevitable. But the covenant was never just a promise between wolf and Warde. It was a warning. Something has been waiting on the other side of that oath — and Elena's return has woken it. Now Gideon must choose between the duty bound into his blood and the mate fate never asked him to want — while an enemy older than the pact itself moves to break the covena nt for good.
He rejected her in front of three hundred witnesses. Three years later, she came back as the one thing the old laws said she could never become — an Alpha in her own right, and the only bond-broken wolf who ever survived.
