What's the last thing a girl expects on a peaceful summer break at the lake house? That she'll get kidnapped, transported to another realm, and delivered to a warrior fae prince as his FATED MATE. That's what happened to little ole' me, Eve Stone. Only that it's not love that the breathtakingly handsome fae wants from me. Aradaen Starlight wants to save his kingdom, and for that he needs my virginity. Mating with me will make him invincible, but that will be that... moreWhat's the last thing a girl expects on a peaceful summer break at the lake house? That she'll get kidnapped, transported to another realm, and delivered to a warrior fae prince as his FATED MATE. That's what happened to little ole' me, Eve Stone. Only that it's not love that the breathtakingly handsome fae wants from me. Aradaen Starlight wants to save his kingdom, and for that he needs my virginity. Mating with me will make him invincible, but that will be that. He can't get serious with me, because he's bound to further his race with a woman of his kind, not to mention that I, as a human, am way beneath fae royalty. To his courts, it's a jest of nature that I of all people should be the Starlight prince's fated mate. But when it turns out that I have magic in my blood, I become interesting to them. The prince and I make an agreement in order to save our worlds, but we cannot fall in love. If we do, all hell will break loose. less

Fae law is clear—Never use magic in the mortal realm. Except that’s what I do for a living, and for paying off my student debt. I just couldn’t leave it on Aunt Miriam’s tired, battered shoulders, not to mention that love spells pay well. And it all worked out just fine—until it didn’t, and the Lord of Winter tracked me down. Lysander Nightfrost is a ruthless fae king enforcing millennia old law. I should run for the hills when he appears, but my feet keep rooted in the ground... moreFae law is clear—Never use magic in the mortal realm. Except that’s what I do for a living, and for paying off my student debt. I just couldn’t leave it on Aunt Miriam’s tired, battered shoulders, not to mention that love spells pay well. And it all worked out just fine—until it didn’t, and the Lord of Winter tracked me down. Lysander Nightfrost is a ruthless fae king enforcing millennia old law. I should run for the hills when he appears, but my feet keep rooted in the ground. I can’t stop staring at his sharp warrior features, his hair like liquid gold, his ice-blue eyes sending chills all through me. He’s here to punish me. But when he learns who I really am, the tides turn. I am what the fire king Xerxes has been searching for since the day my father died, which makes me a powerful weapon in Lysander’s hands. One of the ways he can use me is trade me over in exchange for something he wants from Xerxes. I’m trapped, stripped of choices, but not of my will. If I go down, I’ll take Lysander’s ice-cold heart with me. It’s a tough game, but I will either melt it, or drown it at the bottom of the ocean. less

When Lysander the King of Frost and I united our powers against Xerxes the Fire King, something unexpected happened—we became bonded mates. A catastrophe, considering that Lysander is promised to another High Fae in exchange for military support in the upcoming war. The stakes—if Lysander loses his allies and therefore the war, Xerxes will turn the human realm into hell on Earth, before he takes over all the other realms. This means that our bond is forbidden, cursed, a tragedy... moreWhen Lysander the King of Frost and I united our powers against Xerxes the Fire King, something unexpected happened—we became bonded mates.

The stakes—if Lysander loses his allies and therefore the war, Xerxes will turn the human realm into hell on Earth, before he takes over all the other realms. This means that our bond is forbidden, cursed, a tragedy. I’m trying to kill it, but seeing Lysander every day, royal and deadly, moving around like a sleek feral, it’s driving me crazy with forbidden desire. I should leave his Court, take distance, but I can’t, because Xerxes is after me. So when an alternative presents itself, I grab on to it with both hands. It’s dark, and bloody, but it might just save the world. This means that I have to tap into the dark powers of a more obscure side of my bloodline. Problem is, these powers might kill me. less

He’s the King of Ice. I’m the Princess of the Ocean. We are bonded mates, but we can never be together. If we do, the world goes down in flames. I’m gonna make this simple—the Fire King is trying to take over the world, and only the Ice King can stop him. But he needs allies. For that, he was forced to pledge himself to another woman, or she would take her armies to the Fire King, and all Hell would break loose... moreHe’s the King of Ice. I’m the Princess of the Ocean.

Evil magic seeks to kill the Queen, and only Sandros and I can track it down to its source.So I'm forced to be around him again, hating his guts as much as I always have.Most of the time.When he doesn't stare at me the way he does out of those demonic golden eyes. When he doesn't stir this sick need inside of me.He wants me on my knees, at his mercy.He wants me stripped of my pride.Stripped of my will.Stripped of my clothes.He wants to break me, enslave me, and I'm not sure how much longer I can resist this perverse desire that he ignited inside of me.But the closer we get to the dark enemy, the more I understand that this bond we share is much deeper than I ever imagined.Problem is, it's also deadlier. less

SandrosI am half fae and half demon. To the fae kind, that means I have a predilection to evil. If they didn’t need me as desperately as they do now, they’d try to f*cking lynch me.And they’d f*cking fail.I’m a centuries-old warlord, which makes me insanely difficult to kill. I’ve been bred for war, and now that the Antichrist is ready to take over the world, I could destroy the fae, or I could save them. So I’m faced with a choice—join the devil, or fight against him... moreSandrosI am half fae and half demon. To the fae kind, that means I have a predilection to evil.

But that would have been too little of a punishment for the two of them.Edith fucked with the wrong fae lord. I’ll enslave her, watch her fall apart under me, I’ll make her tremble with guilty pleasures, and hate herself for it. But then the tables turn in a way that we could have never seen coming. less
