For a gemeyes, love is a prison. What happens when it could mean freedom?

Aric is a gemeyes, a powerful and heavily regulated mage in the second class of Vadare society. His whole life, his only goal has been survival—not dreams, and certainly not love. When an old debt comes knocking, Aric is forced to turn to The Night Auction, a club where gemeyes go to be auctioned off for dates.

There, he is bought by Kyrell Tierwood, a first class lord who’s kinder and handsomer than any Aric has ever met. Kyrell’s main draw is his wealth, which Aric needs to pay his debt and protect the family secret.

Aric’s plan is simple: seduce the money he needs out of Kyrell and then leave him. It’s not love, it’s business. However, Aric didn’t count on his seduction turning into something real. As Aric and Kyrell navigate coexistence, Aric is torn between two worlds: the love he’s fostering with Kyrell, and the secret he will do anything to keep.

Releasing July 1

A crumbling regime. Stakes higher than ever. A dream to power them.

Cerrick Hagen is lost. With the Order of the Phantom scattered far and wide, the rebellion has screeched to a halt, and escaping his underground prison is the least of his problems. Their enemies stand united against them, from icy tundra to grassy field. It will take more than hope and a relic of the past to defeat them.

What must Cerrick and the Phantom sacrifice to tear down the old government? When the call of battle sounds once more, who will emerge on the other side, and who will become a martyr to power the new era? Sitting with these thoughts in a cold prison cell, Cerrick knows one thing for sure: they have been beaten once, but the Phantom shall persevere.


An undercover mission is the worst place to find love.

Lord Cerrick Montef has been many things: an unloved son, a criminal in a powerful gang, and a royal spy for a man who would fire him if he knew of Cerrick’s unsavory past.

When Cerrick’s boss sends him abroad, alone, and undercover on his latest investigative mission, he must adopt a new role: the husband of a foreign prince.

The arranged marriage to Prince Njord is strictly business that will end once Cerrick closes his investigation. Yet Njord is nothing like he expected: kind and genuine and handsome. As Cerrick struggles with deceiving Njord, he uncovers a conspiracy that makes him question his boss, his country, and himself.

While facing a host of new enemies, Cerrick must define rebellion, confront his past, and plan for the future as the very foundation of Kryos threatens to crumble.

The Red King is known around the world for being a wise diplomat—and for being tragically single.

King Randall III has everything one could want: power, charm, beauty, and enough diplomatic wit to earn him the nickname 'Emperor of the Continent.' The one thing he's lacking is a husband.

When Randall's sister invites men far and wide to woo him, only three make the cut: a noble sorcerer, a royal alchemist, and a mysterious easterner who reveals nothing of himself other than a name. A fourth lingers in the shadows, dreaming of the chance he's been too afraid to take for four years.

Each of them is hiding a secret, including King Randall himself, who falls victim to a beastly curse when night falls. As pasts are revealed, relationships formed, one thing becomes clear: no one will leave the Red King's court the same they entered.
