Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage... The first time I met the boys of the Zodiac Brotherhood, I was forced to my knees for the introduction. Still grieving the death of my parents, I was a young queen, a pawn in my uncle’s agenda for wealth and gain. As my guardian, he had the authority to arrange a marriage upon my eighteenth birthday. That meeting took place six years ago. Now those boys are powerful men. Twelve headstrong men that want to own me. And I must spend a month with each one. Bending and yielding to their desires and commands. Shedding pieces of my innocence so long as my virtue remains intact. Because they want a virgin queen after the last month concludes, and my uncle plans to auction me off to the highest bidder. Out of the twelve men, only one has my heart. And only one can claim my hand in marriage. If only it were up to me to decide. Part 1 of The Zodiac Queen. Intended for mature readers who enjoy dark and explicit themes.

Three men. Too many betrayals. A multitude of secrets. They circle me like the walls in this tower. Because Landon Astor isn’t who I thought he was. My history entwines with his in ways I don’t want to believe are true. And speaking of histories…Sebastian’s past struts in sporting a pair of stilettos and an attitude to match the lion’s ego. But discovering the truth about Liam is the harshest blow. He was my safe haven in this madness—the one man I thought I could trust the most. Now I’m in a free-fall with no one to catch me. Because if the three men I thought I knew best are capable of turning my world upside down, I don’t want to know what the other nine men in the Zodiac Brotherhood have in store for me.

Sebastian Stone is a collision of passion and thorns. He shares a side of himself that few people witness. Hot-headed one minute, and sweet and tender the next—we mix like fire and air, igniting a chemical explosion that consumes us both. But our foundation shakes under distrust and insecurities, because tragedies have visited us in the past, making for wary hearts. Yet the lion holds mine in his possessive grasp, refusing to give an inch. Sebastian demands all of me, even though Liam Castle says he doesn’t deserve it. As the consequences of past mistakes intrude into the House of Leo, part of me fears the chancellor is right. Part 5 of The Zodiac Queen.

Miles Sinclair. The virgin of the Brotherhood. Designer of kinky tech. Believes patience is a virtue. The man is as disciplined as he is dominant.

Because it’s time for me to take a stand in this tower of secrets and betrayals. But on a fateful summer day, temptation awaits in a gazebo—a chance encounter where air and fire collide—and a single moment of weakness engulfs my world in flames. Mr. Sinclair might believe in patience, but to him, forgiveness isn’t a virtue. Part 6 of The Zodiac Queen. Intended for mature readers who enjoy dark and explicit themes.

Ford Stryker is a playboy extraordinaire. Having a good time is as important to him as outrunning the expectations of the Brotherhood.

But decisions are never that simple, and the wrong one might catapult me into a public display of humiliation for which I'm not prepared. Ford barrels past my walls with his flirtatious charm, testing my loyalty to Sebastian at every turn, but I've learned not to trust easily in this tower of twelve men.

I’ve survived a lifetime’s worth of suffering at the hands of these men, but this… This will be the catalyst that destroys me. Part 9 of The Zodiac Queen.
