Thrown together by fate…
At the center of a forbidden ruin, an artifact of black stone is unearthed.
Archaeologist Ru Delara, vilified by the scientific community for believing in magic, is summoned to investigate. But when she arrives, she finds herself inexorably drawn to the artifact, even though it could harbor untold destructive power.
Unable to resist its pull, Ru reaches out to touch the stone…
Waking in the dark, naked and alone, Ru sees that everything and everyone within a mile radius has been vaporized. Only she and the artifact remain intact. When a windswept stranger called Fen finds her in this vulnerable state, she has no choice but to accept his help.
Determined to discover the artifact’s true nature, Ru and Fen travel to the Cornelian Tower, the scientific heart of the kingdom. But conspiracy brews in the capital city, and it’s clear that Ru isn’t the only person with a vested interest in the artifact.
Drawn into a conflict they hardly understand, all while contending with a profound and consuming mutual attraction, Ru and Fen must unravel the secrets of the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands… before its darkness engulfs them all.
A reluctant queen. A deadly assassin. A deal bound in blood.
Conspiracy lurks in the realm of Rothen. No one knows this better than Elma Volta, soon to be queen of the frozen kingdom. But as she awaits her coronation, Elma narrowly escapes death at the hands of an enemy assassin. Realizing she has few choices and even fewer allies, Elma offers the assassin a deal: if he can keep her alive until she takes her rightful place on the throne, she will bring peace to their warring lands.
An uneasy alliance forms between Elma and the sharp-tongued assassin. But what started as mutual hatred and resentment, soon begins to evolve into something else entirely. Something aching, desperate, and blazing hot.
She was a goddess of light, and he was the god of death.
Ru Delara, archaeologist, has finally proven that magic exists. Fen Verrill has vanished in the wake of his dark revelation, leaving Ru with a shattered heart. The cruelly handsome Lord D’Luc now holds Ru and her volatile artifact captive.
Meanwhile, conspiracy brews in the city of Mirith, its court overtaken and infatuated with the worship of a vengeful god. Ru and Fen are drawn inevitably to the heart of it. But everything in the palace is not as it seems, and Ru soon finds herself at a terrible crossroads: the future of the entire kingdom is hers to decide.
Ancient gods, subtle magic, and smoldering romance form a tangled web in this tantalizing and addictive conclusion to Ru Delara’s story.
Earth is broken beyond repair. The Planet is our last hope.
Humanity’s first mission to the Planet ended in tragedy, but botanist Jill Jones won’t let that stop her from joining the second.
Perfect climate, perfect terrain, perfect flora and fauna; the Planet has called to Jill all of her life. She knows, with bone-deep certainty, it’s home. A new beginning for humanity. She just needs a chance to prove it.
But as Jill and her team survey the Planet, a mysterious presence begins to infiltrate their thoughts. When her colleagues start to disappear, it’s up to Jill to uproot the Planet’s secrets before they consume her, her friends, and the one man she would do anything to keep.
Ami awakes from years in stasis to find she’s at the edges of deep space, and the only surviving member of her crew. Utterly alone and unable to contact Earth, she sends out a distress beacon, not expecting a response. When she gets one from a being who calls himself Dorian, she’s welcomed onto his ship as he offers his assistance in any way he can. But nothing on Dorian’s ship is as it seems. And as Ami tries to navigate the maze of hallways and first contact with this alien being, a deep hum begins to resonate, haunting her, as if the ship itself is whispering to her.
“You thought you knew pleasure before you met me. You were wrong.”
Kit Fox needs a fresh start. Her essays on quantum physics are too outlandish for the mainstream, and her writing career is fizzling. But things look up when she’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a private three-day interview with reclusive billionaire Ian De Leon, inventor of the Pleasurebot. He’s publishing a biography, and he wants Kit to write it.
But Ian has a secret locked away in his sky-high penthouse: the Prototype, a disobedient and unpredictable new Pleasurebot. Against Ian’s explicit wishes, Kit becomes completely enraptured by the Prototype. And what she thought was going to be a standard interview becomes a sickening freefall into obsession, self-discovery, and otherworldly desires.
