Legacy of Roses

A Beauty and the Beast Tale

2024

A returned royal with no interest in becoming an enchanted prince. A merchant’s daughter who knows better than to pick roses. A Legacy determined to force them into a story neither wants. Rosalie’s family has already lost everything, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect them from further harm. Even if that means stopping ignorant newcomers from picking enchanted roses. Dimitri knows little about his new kingdom, and he can’t help being captivated by the fiery girl who holds the answers. But Rosalie seems horrified by both his presence and his handsome face, and it turns out she has good reason. In the kingdom of Glandore, it’s a dangerous thing to be a young man of royal blood living alone in a castle. Almost as dangerous as being the youngest daughter of a merchant. Enter a world where tales of the past shape the enchanted landscape—where glass can bend like a slipper and picking a rose courts danger. A world where the inhabitants must overcome the fabled Legacies as they find romance, adventure, and friendship.

Ties of Legacy

2025

A merchant girl with a life of freedom. A young man who just wants to settle down. A journey through three enchanted kingdoms. As a roving merchant—or peddler, as many call her—Avery lives a life of freedom that few ever experience. She can navigate the enchanted landscapes of six kingdoms, and she’s an expert at finding unique items and matching them with the right customer. If her traveling lifestyle means she doesn’t have any close friends, at least she can help communities in need. And it’s worth it not to be tied down. She might be alone, but that doesn’t mean she’s lonely. Elliot would love to be tied to his birth kingdom like most people. Such a restriction might be limiting, but it would be better than being bound to a candelabra—especially once that candelabra gets stolen. With his life on the line, Elliot has to find it—or whatever is left of it. The last thing Avery wants is a pesky stowaway on her cross-kingdom rescue mission—especially not one who claims he’s bound to one of the items in her cart. Elliot is equally unhappy to be trailing her through the kingdoms—he’s sick of traveling and ready to put down roots. But Avery has promised to help free him from the ties binding him, and he’s willing to make a final journey if it means being free of the candelabra. He’ll just have to make sure his heart doesn’t form its own tie with his beautiful traveling companion. Should be easy, right? Ties of Legacy is book one in Tethered Hearts, a multi-author series of no spice fantasy romances. Each standalone story features a magical bond that forces the couple to discover how much they’re willing to sacrifice for the sake of love. _This standalone story is set in the world of Melanie Cellier’s Kingdoms of Legacy series. _

Legacy of Glass

A Cinderella Tale

2025

The kingdom of Sovar’s Legacy demands balls and glass slippers, and the royal family are happy to oblige. They’ve been finding ways to contain and control the Legacy’s force for generations. Until it comes time for Crown Prince Julius to choose a bride. Olivia traveled to the capital to work in her aunt and uncle’s business, not to clean their house. But she isn’t going to miss Sovar’s famed annual ball. Anyone is allowed to attend as long as they meet a single condition—they must dance in a pair of the glass slippers that have made Sovar famous. Thankfully Olivia’s only friend is willing to lend her a pair, and the prince even chooses her for a dance. It would be a dream come true if he weren’t so irritating. Julius is willing to go along with his parent’s choice of bride because he knows his duty to his kingdom. But instead he ends up ensnared by the Legacy along with Olivia. They should be working together to escape, but Olivia is the most infuriating young woman he’s ever met. She’s uninterested in protocol or listening to Julius, and instead of escaping the Legacy, she’s obsessed with saving her friend. Thank goodness duty requires him to cut her out of his life. But as they’re forced to spend more time together, Julius starts to wonder if Olivia might be seeing something he missed. If so, his duty to his kingdom matters more than ever. But what if his heart is becoming more interested in the infuriating girl at his side than in duty? What if the Legacy’s trap is exactly where he wants to be? Enter a world where tales of the past shape the enchanted landscape—where glass can bend like a slipper and picking a rose courts danger. A world where the inhabitants must overcome the fabled Legacies as they find romance, adventure, and friendship.
