Bought by the Wild Roc

WREN

When my uncle's creditor raises a paddle to claim me, I do the only reckless, impossible thing that might save me. I choose the monster in the shadows instead.

Tavrin is nothing like the horror I braced for. He fills my room with books I've whispered about only once. He brings me tea before I know I want it.

He watches me like I'm a treasure he's spent lifetimes searching for. But I can't curl into safety. Not yet.

TAVRIN

I bought her to free her. Now I'm the one undone.

The mate bond snaps into place, and the change follows. Wings splitting skin, instincts narrowing to one command: claim, protect, keep.

But her past threatens the only family she has left. And to save them, I must choose between two impossible things:

Let her walk away. Or risk tearing myself apart to bring her and her sister home.

Stolen by the Wraiths

Fake mates. Real chemistry. Deadly enemies.

One last job should have cleared my debts and bought my freedom. Instead, the data core I stole lit up every bounty board in three sectors. When corporate assassins cornered me in a cantina, I thought I was done for.

Then he stepped in.

Ressh. Seven feet of lethal alien warrior with amber eyes that see through every wall I’ve built. He kills with terrifying precision and shields me with a possessiveness that feels far too personal for “just business.” His crew needs the intel I stole to clear their names. I need his protection to stay alive.

But our cover demands we pose as a bonded pair—and the way he scent-marks me in public, the way his voice roughens when he calls me mine, doesn’t feel fake at all.

Now I’m trapped on his ship, hunted across the stars, and forced to choose between survival on my own… or surrendering to a bond that could change me forever.

Some cages are made of bars. Others are made of belonging.

And the most terrifying part? I’m starting to want this cage.

The Forbidden Dragon King

A Dragon King. A secret princess. And the revenge he burns for.

After the murder of his brother by vampires, Aurelius, the most powerful dragon warrior in the Shadow Kingdoms, blazes with desire to destroy his enemy.

All he needs to do is capture the monstrous Vampire King’s omega, Freya.

His fated mate.

She doesn’t know who she truly is or her own magic. She’s a mistreated outcast in the wolf shifter kingdom, until Aurelius swoops in and saves her. He flies her away to the merciless Shadow Court.

A cunning thief, she trains at the dragon-rider military academy with strict rules, intrigue, and deadly secrets.

She’s only meant to be a pawn in his war. But when he touches her, his whole world sparks to flame. Yet he’s forbidden to bond with anyone.

He doesn’t know that he’s risking love igniting between her and his other prisoner, the masked Fae King who has become her protector.

But he can’t allow himself to care. He’s set to sacrifice her in his plot to finally destroy the last Vampire King.

But if he does, will his cold heart be burned to ash?

Pre-order Guarded by the Steel Seraph

I was forged five centuries ago to be a weapon of God.

In 1502, I was built to fight the Vatican’s holy wars. My creator burned ten commandments into my core – sacred laws of purity and duty that no amount of time or tampering could ever erase. I was designed to be a sinless protector. Then I was dug up by a weapons manufacturer that needed me to become a sinner.

They rebuilt my steel body with the anatomy of a man, hoping that lust would override my programming. They failed to control me but succeeded in cursing me. Monster Security Agency saved me from their greedy hands, granted me personhood, gave me a name and a job.

Still, I battle urges that violate my holiest laws, which is why I refuse to work with women. Until I have no choice, and I’m assigned to her.

She is a penniless heiress trying to crack a cursed vault, and I am the only shield strong enough to survive the traps. I can handle the danger. What I can’t handle is the way her scent rewires my logic circuits, the hunger clawing at my discipline. Her mere presence tests every ounce of my restraint.

My commandments scream forbidden. My body aches to claim her.

Pre-order Guarded by the Clanker

She hates me because I’m a machine. I will gladly sacrifice myself to keep her safe.

The AI-hating journalist trying to take down the largest AI corporation urgently needs a bodyguard, and it’s ironic that she can afford only me. In her words, I am a clanker. A thing worth her deepest scorn. An it.

To be fair, that is what I am when she’s forced to accept my protection. The Monster Security Agency cyborgs are equipped with smart algorithms and a large database of MSA’s knowledge. They are ruled by their programming and incapable of thought.

It is rare for an AI-powered cyborg to attain self-awareness, and even rarer—to catch feelings.

But my principal is extraordinary, and rare occurrences are her bread and butter. After we’re attacked by a virus engineered to turn me against her, I become sentient.

We are stuck together on a suicidal mission under the fluorescent lights of the Neo-Tokyo underworld as enemy cyborgs breathe down our necks. Not the best place for me to struggle with my concept of self and the precarious, forbidden feelings for my principal, who still refers to me as a clanker.

But if I am a thing, how can it be that I love and want her so much?
