Fired by My Grumpy Dragon Boss by Ami Wright

Paranormal Romance, Monster Romance

My grumpy dragon boss doesn’t want a mate and I don’t want him either! In fact, he’s the last guy on earth I can see myself with…

Worse: he fires me with no warnings for a totally stupid reason. Rude!

If I thought he was a jerk when I worked for him, that’s nothing to the way Kivrayn makes my blood boil now. So I go to work for his biggest rival, looking for my opportunity to have my revenge.

It’s like he goes out of his way to make me uncomfortable: glaring at me across a crowded auction room; frequenting my favorite coffee spot. He even turns up on the only date I’ve had in months and completely ruins it! What a prick!

Only, the more we keep running into each other, the more I start to wonder if the heat in his stare is more than hatred.

When a drunken hate f*ck turns my world upside down, it’s time to admit that the fire between us is explosive in the bedroom. But that’s hardly a good basis for a relationship, and dragons mate for life. Have I bitten off more than I can chew?

I can’t be bound to the grumpiest, bossiest monster I’ve ever met, for the rest of my life…


A Soul to Embrace by Opal Reyne

Paranormal Romance, Monster Romance

All Zylah wanted was to heal.

Lost, alone, and nameless, she seeks out a companion. Someone to cherish amidst the chaos and the Demon attacks. When she stumbles across a broken and injured Jabez, she uses her healing hands to save him, never questioning his motives for staying.

As the emotions growing between them become tangled, her infatuation turns into dangerous passion. She longs to keep her claws in this handsome and enthralling male, whose chilling gaze has softened in the time they’ve spent together.

All Jabez wanted was revenge.

Not even his near death can shake Jabez’s determination to destroy the Elvish people. The hatred clinging to his heart is impossible to relinquish, and when faced with an unexpected opportunity to resurrect his war, Jabez eagerly takes it. His new companion is the answer, though she isn’t what she seems.

After gaining humanity, her personality shines, and she completely turns his life and thoughts upside down. The longer he remains at her side, the more he desires to protect her – even from himself.

Can he give up his revenge and risk losing everything… for someone who could come to hate him because of his cruel past?


Dark Heart by Donna Grant

Fantasy Romance

Deepest passion. Darkest betrayal.

Once, she was my world. The only one I loved. Then it was all ripped away – including my freedom.

Vengeance kept me alive. It paved every step, shaped every plot.

Until I finally caught her.

I learned that line between love and hate is wafer-thin. Where once my dreams were filled with revenge, now that I have her, all I think about is the intoxicating passion we once shared.

But there’s no turning back the events her capture has set into motion. It unravels a carefully constructed world, one where enemies surround me.

Everyone, that is, except her.

Now, we only have each other – and the love that once united us, to fight our way to long-buried truths that will change everything.


The Perfect Gift by Clio Evans

Contemporary Holiday Romance

What happens when you get snowed in with two hot lumberjacks and your husband?

Rosie is a pro bono lawyer on a holiday vacation with her uptight, neurosurgeon husband of eight years. Greg has promised a week-long getaway in a remote lake-side cabin where they can escape their high-pressure jobs and explore their fantasies…

The only problem is – it’s been three days, and Greg has yet to even kiss Rosie.

When a snowstorm hits Christmas Eve, two lumberjacks show up on their doorstep in need of refuge from the cold. Hawk and Ashton are two rugged, hot-blooded mountain men in need of something – or someone – to defrost their icy hearts.

Rosie knows it’s wrong, but she can’t resist the temptation. Besides, it’s Christmas Eve, and she deserves the perfect gift…


A Bloom in Winter by J.R. Ward

Paranormal Romance

Nothing warms a cold heart like true love, and in this newest Black Dagger Brotherhood winter book, a fighter who has never been a savior finds himself falling in love – and trying to rescue – a male who’s lost all hope.

With the BDB training center reopening, and the Brothers looking to add more soldiers in the war against the Lessening Society, fan favorite Callum decides to find his purpose in fighting. Apex knows what suffering the male has survived, and he joins the program just to make sure Callum doesn’t get himself killed. As the two hit the streets, and the danger gets real, Callum must decide whether he can open himself up to love or if he will give in to his inner darkness and spiral down into an abyss of hatred and death… forever.


Zhoel by Tamsin Ley

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

A small-town Christmas. An alien visitor. A completely unexpected romance.

When Zhoel lands on Earth, he’s expecting to negotiate a business deal that will open the galaxy to human tourism. What he doesn’t expect is to be dropped into the middle of a holiday festival – and directly into the path of Lila Carson, a determined, down-to-earth woman with a big family.

Lila has enough on her plate trying to keep her family’s trucking company afloat during the busiest time of the year. The last thing she needs is responsibility for an alien. But Zhoel’s cluelessness about small-town life is endearing, and his timely proposal could save her family. Amid falling snow and sparkling lights, their professional agreement quietly transforms into a personal connection. Yet with Zhoel’s time on Earth running out and forces beyond their control threatening their future, love might not be enough to save the day.


Alien Haven by Tracy St. John

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance,
Why Choose

A woman in hiding with a bounty on her head. Three men stand ready to protect her, but they have desperate secrets of their own.

Using the alias Jennifer Seng, Charity Nath hides on Haven, a planet settled by Earthers and Kalquorians. She’s less than thrilled to be on the agricultural outpost where the height of culture is a play titled Cow Patties in Paradise. With a bounty on her head and ruthless enemies determined to cash in, she has little choice but to work on Clan Amgar’s farm until the danger is past. At least the view is nice, thanks to three young, handsome Kalquorians… but they have their own secrets they’re unwilling to share.

After his encounter with a merciless entity that performed horrific medical tests on him, Dramok Ilid is eager for a place where he can feel safe again. Haven’s strict security protocols mean the pandemic raging in his home empire has little chance of striking the planet. Better yet, there’s little opportunity for the enemy Darks who traumatized him to show up either. Still, he knows he isn’t the man to lead a clan of his own despite the tempting potential of his new friends who are everything he could hope for.

Imdiko Mitag is charming, gorgeous, and resolved to draw out the trio who seem perfect for the clan he’s always dreamed of. His eagerness conceals a long-ago tragedy and an unloving childhood he’s determined won’t dictate the rest of his life, if he can convince the others.

It isn’t that Nobek Detodev doesn’t want friends and lovers. As a Nobek who hates who he is, he’s certain no one else could want him. His aloof persona begins to crack when Charity, Ilid, and Mitag refuse to let him remain unapproachable. But surely they’ll run when they discover the truth.

When Charity comes under attack by those who’ll stop at nothing to destroy the uneasy peace between Earth II and Kalquor, the quartet finds secrets are the greatest danger to keeping her safe. Can her life and their growing love survive the truth of their pasts?


Baited by Hattie Jacks

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

Feral and damaged. This alien gladiator has never been kissed.

Blayn is a vicious, dirty fighter in the arena. Picked for his ability to maim and destroy, he’s the one gladiator you never bet against.

However, his feral nature has got him into trouble too often, and someone has to get him over his fear of being touched by anything other than a sword, claw or tooth.

That someone is me. Former cleaner in a pleasure house here on Trefa, now expected to help this dangerous gladiator become greater than ever, or else he’ll lose everything, including his life.

No pressure.

Only Blayn has another side to him, one which reveals itself as we’re made to spend time together. The damage done to him by those who seek to control him is truly terrible. And his ability to love and to claim me knows no bounds.

I shouldn’t fall in love with him because I know what it means for both of us. Escape or death.

And no one has ever escaped the dome.


Alien Kraken’s Prize by January Bell

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

When I find out I’ve been selected for the Starlight Lottery, I’m sure my luck is finally changing for the better. Until I’m sent to an ocean planet… as an alien Kraken king’s freaking pet. Sure, he’s nice to look at, all muscley human on top and squiggly tentacles on bottom, but I’ve never been more bored in my entire life. Or as lonely.

It isn’t until I find the stowaway in my luggage – a single, sentient tentacle that decided to hitch a ride from my old job- that the Kraken even realizes not only am I not a pet, but I’m also intelligent.

When he figures out that I’m a female? Well, let’s just say maybe I am about to get lucky after all.


Saved by the Alien Crime Boss by Tiffany Roberts

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

An alien criminal in hiding. An enticing female he can’t ignore. But can he protect her from his violent past?

With her birthday just around the corner, Mina Walker has found herself reflecting on her life.

Thirty and still stuck in her tiny hometown.
Thirty and still clinging to the ghosts of people she lost years ago.
Thirty and still alone. Still a virgin.

She refuses to spend this birthday by herself. So when chance brings her face to face with the town’s mysterious newcomer, she knows exactly who she wants to celebrate with.

Tall, intense, and sexy as sin, Viktor Novak clearly has dark, dangerous secrets. But she never could’ve guessed the truth of what he is -an alien with black horns, wicked claws, and fangs that make Mina wish he’d take a bite of her.

She should be frightened of him, of what he is, yet he saves her at every turn, and every time she looks into his burning eyes, she’s drawn closer until she’s finds herself yearning to be incinerated by their depths.

After years of loneliness, Mina’s ready; she wants him. Except she wants so much more than pleasure. She wants his heart.

She wants forever.


Alpha’s Claim by Renee Rose & Lee Savino

Paranormal Romance

My bear is wild. Totally uncivilized. Savage.
I’m not the nice bear. That’s my twin, Teddy.
I keep my bear caged.
Until I meet Paloma and my bear goes wild.
She’s beautiful and talented, but something’s rotten in this mansion in the Hamptons.
Her foster father keeps her locked in a tower, surrounded by guards.
There are whispers of an auction–a virgin auction.
My bear’s about to break free and go on a rampage.
But I can’t let him out.
Even if I can save Paloma, I can never claim her.
Not even when she smells like wild orchids,
Not even when she feels like freedom,
Not when she is my future, and my fated mate.


Caged by the Orc by Celeste King

Dark Fantasy Romance

One act of defiance bound her to me. Now, I’ll defy the world to keep her.

I’m Sarod the Orc. My ruthlessness is legendary. No one stops me from taking what I want.

And I want her.

Josie. A bold servant girl who dared to steal from me. Now, she’s mine, forced to repay her debt with every hour of service.
At first, I had no intention of anything more. But her spirit, her defiance – they’ve kindled something dangerous in me.
I didn’t realize how far I’d go until I defended her from my rivals. Now she’s not just any human female.

She’s my extreme obsession.

Josie thinks she can resist me. She’s wrong.
Because she’s more than just a servant. She’s the one I’ll risk everything for.

In my world, love is a battle. And for Josie?

I’ll fight to the death.


Sins of the Succubus by Celeste King & Wynter Raven

Dark Fantasy Romance

All my life, I’ve been used by others…
But now…
I’m done being a good girl.

I was sold to my dark elf husband to clear my mother’s debt.
And he rented me out to the highest bidder each night.
Used my body to make some coin.
Forced me to satisfy every beast.

Until Dremlor heard my cries.

Some might see a monster…
But he sees I am no weak human. And with his help…

He’ll make it so I never have to bow before another.

Now I have the power to get my revenge…
And Im starting to realize one thing.
For the first time, I can choose who I want…

And I want the beast who saved me.


All I Want for Christmas is an Alien by Julie K. Cohen

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

‘Santa Claus is Coming’ has a whole new meaning on an alien world

Sure, the aliens here don’t know what Christmas is, we don’t have Christmas lights or chocolate (yes, that one’s hard to accept), but we’re all together. Zyanthan-human mated pairs and their children, all celebrating the holidays.

Lucky me, I have my very own Santa! A warrior with striking white hair, magnificent horns, a smile that melts my heart, and two, um, candy canes to warm my bed…. until duty calls. Instead of descending down our chimney as ol’ Saint Nick, Havok flies off on a mission. Now, he’s on my naughty list!

Dear Santa, bring my alien home for Christmas! I promise, when he returns, I’ll show him why landing on my naughty list comes with some very nice rewards!


How to Keep a Fae by L.V. Lane

Paranormal Romance, Fantasy Romance,
Why Choose

I’m a feeder. My role is to give blood.

A transaction, nothing more.

We’re not supposed to have favorites nor nurture infatuations.

And we’re definitely, under no circumstances, supposed to fall in love.

But I did – twice.

A human alpha who steals my breath and calls me his queen.

An intense, dominant fae warrior who unbridles new desires.

I wonder if they feel the same way.

If they ever talk about me.

As it turns out, the two men are best friends and they both want to claim me.

What they haven’t realized is that they’re both pursuing the same fae… at least, not yet.


The Alien’s Unwilling Bride by Milly Taiden

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

When brainy scientist Mila Arison gets shipped off to planet Tharvis for an arranged marriage, she’s got bigger problems than finding the perfect space wedding dress. She’s too busy trying to save an entire alien ecosystem. But her sexy yet uptight prince-to-be, Roqron, is making it hard to focus on soil samples when he keeps looking at her like she’s his favorite experiment.

Prince Roqron expected a diplomatic, boring human, not a curvy, passionate scientist who makes him questions why he lives by the rules. Between her brilliant mind and the way she keeps challenging his stuffy royal protocols, he’s having a hard time remembering why arranged marriages are supposed to be loveless.

As they race to uncover a sinister plot threatening Tharvis’ environment, their chemistry reaches supernova levels. From steamy research sessions to pulse-pounding adventures, Mila and Roqron discover that mixing business with pleasure might just save their world—if they don’t drive each other crazy first. Can a by-the-book prince and a rebellious Earth scientist find love? And why does saving the world suddenly feel less important than their next kiss?

The Ramseys by Amber Daulton - in Time Complete Box Set NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

The Ramseys in Time box set features spunky heroines, brooding heroes, and a trip through time. Each of the two novellas included have a 50k word count, making this box set top off at 100k.

In Timeless Honor, Jaye Ramsey goes on vacation with her friends to Bolivia in order to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel doesn't exist. There she finds a time portal in the Salar de Uyuni (the salt flats) and winds up in Georgian England. Never did she expect to fall in love with a man from her grandmother's past, Lord Lucas Kenway, who was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband's home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it's best to read them together, in any order, because you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters. And besides, who can get enough of time travel romance? Not me, that's for sure.

My Fake Italian Marriage by Romy Sommer
Escape to Italy for a summer romance
As the nights draw in and winter approaches, you may be indulging in hot cocoa, woolly sweaters, and Hallmark holiday movies...or you might be indulging in dreams of summery destinations and strappy sundresses. I'm definitely in the latter camp. I don't do well with the cold, so I hibernate all winter, warming myself up by escaping to warmer climes in the pages of books. One of my favorite destinations, no matter the season, is Italy - the home of pizza, pasta, gelato, and amazing wines. (And yes, I am a tad obsessed with the taste of Italy!)

Enjoy your own escape to Italy with "My Fake Italian Marriage," a romance filled with sunshine, mouth-watering food and wine, and (of course!) a heart-warming fake marriage romance.

In the words of The Unrepentant Bookaholic: "Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills and vineyards, this story was delightful, sweetly steamy, and still romantic. Sworn off men after two failed relationships, Cleo is sent to Luca's family vineyard to protect her company's investment. Sparks fly, and a reluctant partnership is formed to keep the failing business alive. Fabulous!"

Interview with Lucy Felthousehttps://bit.ly/4fJavT3Welcome, today we are talking with Lucy Felthouse! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let's delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about Lucy Felthouse that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I try to counteract my love of chocolate by spending lots of time walking in the countryside, going to Zumba once a week and doing Yoga at home.

How long have you been writing?

Since I was a child. I was a huge reader from a young age, and loved adventure stories, so anything by Enid Blyton, that kind of thing. I would spend hours making up my own stories and scribbling into notebooks. I wish I still had them now—I’m intrigued as to whether any of it was any good!

In terms of writing for publication, it’s getting on for twenty years now, since I was at university.

What have you found most challenging about it?

That when you write in certain genres, i.e. romance, and particularly steamy romance, you will often find people look down on you and what you write. There are certain places where writers of other genres will be welcomed, but you won’t. I’ve learnt to live with it, and don’t try to insert myself where “my face doesn’t fit”, but I do find it quite annoying at times. In a lot of ways, we still live in a very narrow minded world.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional? 

All of the above! I’ve made myself laugh writing, I’ve made myself cry writing. I take it as a good sign, to be honest. As the writer, I know what’s going to happen, so if I still get emotional about it, then surely that means I’m doing something right!

Describe what your writing routine looks like. Are you disciplined with a strict schedule or do you have to be in the mood?

I don’t have a routine. I don’t write full time, and I don’t always have a book or story on the go. So it all depends. When I am writing a book, I t...

Breaker by AK Nevermore
Check out Breaker, a Spicy Dystopian Romance...
Hey all, AK Nevermore back with the first book in a brand new series, Breaker. If you're a fan of Spicy Dystopian Romance, then this is the series for you!

Beware the Coming Storm...

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them...

Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.

Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn's sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn't give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn't in the mood to make good on a debt when it's called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.

On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.

And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology's primed to procreate, and Flynn's growled assurances that he won't touch her doesn't match the hunger in his eyes.

It doesn't align with what fate has in store for them, either.

With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it's a race to the North, away from Kara's horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he's forced to choose between protecting the woman he's afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he'd never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara's secrets don't get them killed first.

Want more? It's free to read in Kindle Unlimited, and you can download the Breeder, the series prequel, for free here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/91ffk852qo

Interview with Zara WestWelcome, today we are talking with Zara West! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let's delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about yourself that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I am a champion hand spinner with a collection blue ribbons from the New York State Fair. My spinning wheel was handmade by a local carpenter who used the same tools used during the Colonial Period.

How long have you been writing?

I have been writing forever. As a child, I loved art, horses, and storytelling. I wrote hundreds of tiny, illustrated books full of talking horses, which I sold to my classmates for a penny. Then I grew up and turned to writing non-fiction. I have written magazine and academic articles, how-to-manuals, craft books, and college textbooks on a wide range of topics, including art, ethnography, weaving, technology, and writing. But for the last fifteen years I have returned to writing the fiction I love to read – historical fiction and romance.

What have you found most challenging about it?

The change to fiction from non-fiction was hard. The structure of each is totally different. The biggest difference is that non-fiction is full of telling, but fiction needs to reach deep inside a character’s psyche and show how they experience the things they are doing and the things happening to them, emotionally. When lovers kiss in a romance, the reader needs to feel that kiss as real.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional?

Writing a story is pure release. I practice a technique called fast drafting (I have published a book about it Fast Draft Your Manuscript and Get it Done Now).

When I am writing, I focus totally on the story. I don’t worry about grammar or spelling or being precise. Instead, I just let the ideas and character’s voices flow out of my fingers. I am that character. I’m in that experience. I’m in the...

The Marquis and the Vixen by Collette Cameron
The only thing more passionate than their differences is their chemistry...
There is nothing Blythe Culpepper wants less than a Season in London. Except Lord Leventhrope. She definitely wants nothing to do with that odious (and admittedly handsome) man. So, imagine her dismay when she's saddled with both...

Tristan has no interest in social gatherings. Which is why he's as surprised as everyone else when he agrees to help present the Culpeppers to Society. If only he could determine why the sharp-tongued Blythe captivates him like no other...

Tristan and Blythe soon learn there's nothing like a little forced proximity—and a deadly enemy—to help a pair of polar opposites see what they truly mean to each other. But is happily ever after in the cards for this tormented marquis and the vivacious vixen of his dreams?

The Marquis and the Vixen
Copyright by Collette Cameron®

A woman of noble character will at all times remember, calm composure flummoxes the schemes of evil-intended people. ~ Dignity and Decorum—The Genteel Lady's Guide to Practical Living

London, England, Late May, 1822

Flimflam and goose-butt feathers!

One hand hiding her mouth, Blythe Culpepper gaped as she trailed her cousin, Brooke, and Brooke's husband, Heath, the Earl of Ravensdale, into the mansion.

Surely that wasn't authentic gold gilding the ornate cornices? Squinting to see better, she surveyed the grand entrance. Yes. It is.

And not just the sculpted cornices either. The plasterwork and practically every other surface, excluding the coffered ceiling's elaborate paintings and the rose-tinted marble floor, boasted the shiny adornment.

Everything pink and gold and glittery. And costly.

"What a despicable waste of money." Flinging Heath a hasty glance, Blythe checked her muttering. It wouldn't do to offend him or their hostess within a minute of arrival.

The peeress, swathed in gold satin and dripping in diamonds—three diamond bracelets? On each wrist?—stood beside an enormous urn. Blythe fought the scowl tugging at her mouth and brows. Disgusting, this brazen flaunting of wealth.

A Hero's Heart by Amber Daulton

 
Danger and Love at Christmas
In A Hero's Heart, DEA agent Jarrett Brandt returns home after several years and runs into his one true love and former girlfriend Marissa. Though he never intended to start things up with her again, love and fate had other plans.

Romantic suspense is one of my favorite sub-genres to read and write. I love second chance stories about damaged heroes with self-esteem issues, and Jarrett fits the bill. He made a lot of mistakes as a teenager and young adult, but finally got his priorities straight and cleaned up. He's a classic romance hero, in my opinion, because he's learned from his past and now puts his life on the line to help others. He's selfless, strong, and understanding, which makes him a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. Besides, he drives a motorcycle. What could be hotter?

Most romantic suspense books I've read aren't centered around major holidays, so that makes A Hero's Heart different from what I conceive as the norm. Christmas-themed stories often bring to mind hot chocolate, sleigh rides, snowmen, and a jolly man in a red suit. Most of the time, those stories are sweet, heartfelt romances with little to no sex, and there's nothing wrong with that. I love reading those stories! If I could choose, however, I prefer adrenaline-laced, action-filled romances that take the hero and heroine through the ringer, both in and out of the bedroom. Just because it's Christmas, the time to be merry, doesn't mean the bad guys have gone home to twiddle their thumbs and wait out the New Year. In this genre, danger is always lurking around the corner and it's not something to be taken lightly, as Jarrett and Marissa eventually realize.

As with all true romance books, no matter what happens during the course of the story, one important thing remains the same—the romance. The hero and heroine may achieve their happily ever after in different ways, but as long as the reader is smiling, then it's a good book.

A unicorn walks into a bar…That’s no joke

A unicorn walks into a bar....' That is not a joke. Look, I'm a bartender, I have nothing to do with the xenos. I don't care if it's an elf or a vampire--as long as they don't bother me, I steer clear. I have my reasons--you can see them in the scars on my neck. I never wanted to get involved. But my life changed for the second time when I saved the life of a unicorn. I made an enemy of something old--old and evil, and whatever it was, it'll be back for another try. I also made a friend when I decided to help March. He's only been a human man for a day. I'm responsible for him now. He's my friend...and maybe something more. Maybe a lot more. It doesn't matter to me that he isn't magical anymore. I don't care if he's not PURE. But he does. From best-selling author Kim Alexander, a modern fairy tale of magic, love, and redemption.
