X-mas Gift Potential

An enchanted tale of intrigue where a duke's daughter is the only survivor of a magical curse. When Ekata's brother is finally named heir, there will be nothing to keep her at home in Kylma Above with her murderous family. Not her books or science experiments, not her family's icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. But just as escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness. In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challengers from without—and within—her own ministry. Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love...or for a crown she has never wanted. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family's power. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield it. Part Sleeping Beauty, part Anastasia, with a thrilling political mystery, The Winter Duke is a spellbinding story about choosing what's right in the face of danger.

It can take time to feel proud of who you are. Violet Kane is perfect. At least, that’s what people are supposed to think. She has the perfect career, the perfect presentation, and, until recently, she was engaged to the perfect man. To everyone around her, she's perfectly happy. But pretending to be happy is difficult when you're breaking apart at the seams. Be it with eighty-hour work weeks, nicotine dependency, or dark thoughts of just ending it all… Violet has used nearly every tool available to maintain her performance. If only Violet could trust someone to take that desperate control away. To let her turn off. Something is hunting Reyna Alvarez, and though she knows what it is, it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. When she contacts the Court of Chains for help, she is confined to a secluded forest cabin for her protection. But hiding and submitting isn't in the nature of a Pride fiend. So when a beautiful, stressed-out, high-strung woman appears at her cozy prison, Reyna proposes a practical arrangement. If Violet Kane were around—on her knees, no less—isolation might even be fun. A Little Sin is a lesbian romance that depicts the highs and lows of coming out later in life and learning to live for yourself rather than someone else’s expectations.

След цял живот, прекаран в лов на глави и кръвопролития, Вив окачва меча си за последен път. Изтощената от битки оркиня възнамерява да започне начисто, като отвори първото кафене в град Тюн. Но стари и нови съперници застават на пътя към успеха ѝ — да не говорим, че никой няма и най-малка представа какво всъщност е кафето. Ако Вив иска да остави острието зад гърба си и да превърне плановете си в реалност, няма да може да се справи сама. Но истинските награди по неутъпкания път са пътниците, които срещаш по него. И независимо дали са събрани от древна магия, ронливо печиво или чаша прясно сварено кафе, те може да се превърнат в партньори, семейство и нещо по-дълбоко, отколкото тя някога е могла да си представи.

Alles, was Reyna und Kianthe wollen, ist, eine Buchhandlung zu eröffnen, in der Tee serviert wird. Abgenutzte Holzböden, Pflanzen auf jedem Tisch, Feuerlicht, das zwischen den Dachsparren flackert … all das ergänzt durch Liebe und gute Gesellschaft. Nur ist Reyna eine der persönlichen Wachen der Königin, und Kianthe ist die mächtigste Magierin, die es gibt. Ihr altes Leben hinter sich zu lassen, ist nicht so einfach. Doch nachdem ein Attentäter Reyna als Geisel nimmt, beschließt sie, dass sie es endgültig satt hat, ihr Leben für eine selbstbezogene Königin zu riskieren. Unterdessen hat Kianthe auf eine Gelegenheit gewartet, vor ihrer Verantwortung zu fliehen – umso besser, dass ihre Freundin dabei ist. Gemeinsam lassen sie sich in Tawney nieder, einer Stadt, die mehr Drachen als Einwohner vorweisen kann, und eröffnen den Laden ihrer Träume. Es folgt eine gemütliche Geschichte voller Missgeschicke, Geheimnisse und einer mörderischen Königin, die den größten Wutanfall des Reiches bekommt. In einer Geschichte voller Verletzlichkeit, Trost und stiller Gespräche am Kamin werden diese beiden Frauen entdecken, was sie einander … und der Welt wirklich bedeuten.

There once was a town where nothing ever happened—until, one day, it did. Corinthia, the librarian of Shadow Ridge, doesn’t fall for mysterious strangers. She doesn’t go for long walks in the woods. And she most certainly does not believe in magic. She has her books, her rescued hound, and her Cabinet of Chocolate—everything she needs for a cozy evening alone, thank you very much. But when a bet with her best friend leads to a hike in the maze-like nature preserve behind the Shadow Ridge Library, she meets a mysterious woman who challenges everything she thought she knew about her town, her destiny, and her heart. She doesn’t believe in magic… but magic believes in her.

Falling for each other begins a path towards healing.
