HOW MUCH IS SHE WILLING TO SACRIFICE TO CLAIM HER THRONE?
A powerfully blessed blacksmith must use her wits and fire magic to overthrow the corrupt powers ruling the kingdom, while also fighting her desire for a certain dragon-riding adversary in this sizzling Celtic-inspired romantasy, perfect for fans of House of the Dragon and Fourth Wing.
Once a territory built on matriarchal rule, Tìr Teine has been without a female heir for centuries. Through a long line of corrupt kings, an oppressive anti-magic teaching has infected the land - leading to the tragic decline of the dragons.
Aemyra was born to lead, gifted with fire magic from the Goddess Brigid. For years she has hidden in the shadows, waiting for the king to die so she can bond to his dragon, claim her birthright and protect her people.
When her carefully laid plans are foiled, Aemyra is thrust into a deadly game of politics and plots. Her greatest enemy? Prince Fiorean - the dragon-riding, fire-wielding royal whose icy arrogance and raw power thwart her every step. But as chaos engulfs the court, Aemyra and Prince Fiorean are forced to forge an uneasy alliance to survive. And in the heat of battle, their mutual hatred ignites something neither of them can control.
Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for the only man that stands between her and the throne, Aemyra begins to uncover the true weight of the crown. Will she ignite the flames of change for her people - or will love burn her alive?

He knows how to score, on and off the ice . . .
Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.
Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls . . . he's a ladies man, all right, and he's yet to meet a woman who's immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world - and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring . . . and shoot for love.
A bitterly cold, sleety wind was blowing. Christmas was now two
days in the past, as a young teenage girl pushed her second-hand
bicycle from her family's country cottage where she lived with her
mother and elder sister. She was setting off for the four-mile
journey to the bookshop where she'd worked for the past year. The
love of her work made her oblivious to the bitter wind and blinding
sleet. The money earned was a welcome asset to the family, and
filled her with a warm, proud feeling knowing she was at last
contributing to the household expenses, taking a little extra
strain from her mother's shoulders. At the same time another young
teenager was sitting impatiently in her father's new car as he
loaded her luggage into the boot and strapped her skis on the roof
rack before driving from their detached home in London's affluent
green belt to the airport where she would meet with friends for
their skiing trip to the resort of Val-d'Isere in the French Alps,
a Christmas present from her wealthy parents. The lives of these
two opposites would, in future years, have untold effects far and
wide, that would shake both families to the roots in events of
sheer happiness and devastating disaster.
