Hello, my Wylde-lings!

Today, I'm excited to tell you about the newest addition to Massive April. Ava York's Bought by the Jotunn just came out, and the vibe is all winter-y and cozy. This suits me just well, since I can still see some snow on the other side of the fjord.

Eseld walked north until the cold took her.

When she stopped following orders, the only direction left was into the Wastes, where the ice would finish what her guilt couldn't.

Thyran hasn't spoken to anyone in seven years.

She organizes his fish. Hides knives around his hall. Argues about where the salt goes. And the frost giant who hasn't felt warmth in years burns so hot the windows steam.

But Eseld knows she doesn't get to keep good things. So she runs to a bride market to sell herself as a tool. Find someone who'll use her hands without wanting her heart.

Thyran empties everything he has left onto the bidding table. Seven years of grief, traded for the chance she'll say his name.

The ice doesn't stand a chance against this kind of heat.

As for me, I am still editing Bought by the Golem. The edit is more like a second draft, where I go in and make sure everything is nice and tight, and the story does what I need it to do. It's not just line editing and finding the odd typo. This book is a bit more delicate, since it's dealing with a triggering topic. I don't usually add trigger warnings to my books, but I'll have to do it with this one, because I want everyone to feel safe reading it.

Bought by the Golem has quite a few mentions of domestic abuse and the aftermath, and I just want to make sure that the relationship between our heroine and our hero makes sense and evolves gradually, since she's in a difficult state when she goes to the bride market. Fingers crossed I get this right.

Don't forget our bride market giveaway is still going and you can enter until the end of the month. Winners will be announced on May 1st!

Scarred by Lightning, by Eva Brandt

He didn’t steal my body. He infected my mind. And the worst part? The madness feels like it’s mine.

I built my life on one belief. Love is a choice, not a curse.

It was my rebellion against the Olympian world and the bonds my family calls destiny. My freedom was my sanity.

Until Alexander Stormwright, Alpha of House Zeus, decided I belonged to him.

He doesn’t use chains. He uses his presence, a storm of electricity that seeps into my thoughts and shadows my every move. He whispers I’m losing control.

He swears the possessive rage twisting my mind isn’t me, but an ancient curse from Hera herself.

Maybe he’s right.

Maybe I’m already lost.

Paranoia stalks me. Jealousy burns through me. I see betrayal in every friend’s smile, rivals in every client’s face. No logic, no walls, no willpower can stop the storm he’s unleashed inside me.

Enemies are circling, waiting for my fall to destroy his throne.

He swears he’s my salvation.

But every instinct screams he’s my damnation.

To save myself, I might have to embrace the one man I was born to destroy.

Happy reading, and see you next week!
