A magical kingdom suffering under a vicious ruler desperately needs the king who vanished seven years ago. For years, the people of Aquina have been crushed under the hand of King Lorcan. Gone are the times of peace and prosperity they appreciated under deposed king Varic Khalon, who vanished the night Lorcan took power. Most believe him dead. Only one man knows the truth. Stripped of his magic and imprisoned, Varic never thought to see his kingdom again. But a twist of dark fate secures his freedom and he returns to the city he loves. Now calling himself Gavril, he finds himself with no home, no magic, no subjects, and no hope of reclaiming the throne, forced to survive any way he can. Until a chance encounter brings him face to face with the one person who may tip the scales in his favor. Shyla de Aven has a single magical gift. She can sense magic in others. Not a very useful talent in a city where everyone has magical abilities. So when a wounded stranger literally stumbles into her, he presents her with a mystery she feels compelled to solve. He has magic, yet not. Determined to find the answer, Shyla helps the man. Only to discover they are far more connected than she realizes. And if the people of Aquina want their king returned, she will have to discover the key to unlocking his true power, all without losing her heart in the process.

HE SEARCHES FOR ANSWERS… Dragon shifter Stefan Baudin’s future depends solely on answers from the past. As a boy, his mother willingly walked out of his life, escorted by a small contingent of unknown soldiers. Over a century has passed and the hole in his heart has never filled. Now a hundred questions entwine with the mystery…but the journey will lead him into dangers he never expected and to a woman who enthralls him as no other. SHE SEARCHES FOR APPROVAL… Isabela Florin is the only female in the Caeli Guard. She has fought her way up the ranks, determined to be the best. In so doing, she hopes to recapture the attention and respect of her parents—even if it means spying on the one man who awakens her desires. However, the commander of her kingdom has other plans for her: Marriage, so he can steal her magic and become the most powerful ruler of their time. TOGETHER, CAN THEY FIND HAPPINESS BEFORE DEATH FINDS THEM? When Stefan and Isabela meet, neither want to admit the attraction brewing between them. But as they work together to defeat the evil surrounding the kingdom and to find the answers Stefan seeks, passion boils to the surface until they are forced to make a choice: die together or sacrifice their happiness for the chance to live. In the midst of betrayal and civil unrest, will the lovers be consumed? Or will love, in fact, conquer all?

You can’t escape the darkness within. Or your fated mate. Dragon King Nikolai Baudin witnessed how love destroyed his own father and vows to never take a mate. Until the little girl he rescued years ago returns with a travelling caravan. Aria has become a stunning—and mysterious—woman, and he finds his desire for her overwhelming his resolve. But when he finds some of his people murdered, Nikolai must face the possibility that the woman who draws him and his dragon so strongly may be responsible. He’ll risk everything to ferret out her secrets—even his battered heart. If he doesn’t, an ancient evil could destroy his entire kingdom. Aria’s life is a delicate balance of making a life for herself in the caravan and locking herself away once the sun sets to keep those around her safe. She never expected to see the darkly handsome king who once saved her from a burning pike, only to turn her over to strangers, and forget about her. But when she finds him again, it’s not anger she’s feeling, but something far more unsettling… desire. If he discovers her secret, she could lose everything she’s worked for. But when people begin to die, Aria fears that the past is repeating itself, and that the man she’s come to love could be her next victim. Note to Nikolai of Semar is a medieval, paranormal romance featuring a super sexy dragon shifter and a woman who is far more than she seems. If you like a steamy book with a dragon shapeshifter, a mysterious heroine, the Fae, action-packed fight scenes, and funny side characters, then this book is for you! You get a happily ever after and no cliff-hangers.
