More about the books:

A Betrayal of Storms:

When half-fey Robin Vale is rescued from hunters, he’s taken to the realm of Wychwood – where everyone is focused on preparing for war against the humans who hate, hunt, and kill them for coin. As the fey ready their numbers for complete domination of the human realm, the truth of Robin’s heritage comes to light and his very presence opposes the long-planned invasion. With the help of his allies, including his devastatingly handsome personal guard, Erix, and Wychwood’s princess, Althea, Robin claims his rightful place on the throne – an act that throws him into a world of betrayal, murder and lies.

Robin must survive long enough to claim his family’s power, or let it wreak havoc on a realm that turned its back on him.

Let Me Be Yours:

A grieving King, a lost island girl, and a love that changes them forever…

After losing her intended Mate, Artemis Brimwood, future King of Nestia, is bereft. Broken. Beyond consolation. There's simply no room in her heart for someone else—anyone else. Yet her mother's incessant pressure to wed and continue the Brimwood name leads Art to Aeryn Sweetwater, an island girl at heart who desires nothing more than her mother and her Alpha's approval.

But Art doesn't need a Mate—she has no use for one. So she concocts a mutually beneficial scheme with Aeryn: the omega will agree to bear her pups through artificial insemination, and they will lead separate, fulfilling lives. Everyone's happy.

But there's more to Aeryn than meets the eye, and day after day, Art falls deeper into the spell cast by bouncing curls, milky moonlit skin and a soft, submissive heart.

Just as balance is restored to Art's life, the past returns to hurt those she loves the most.

25 Days in Athens:

Now, he’s been invited to his ex’s wedding in Greece, the very place they once dreamed of saying “I do”. Faced with the consequences of his decision all those years ago, Will has twenty-five days to figure out whether to tell Ollie he made a mistake. But a chance encounter with his childhood friend Sam, who just happens to be impossibly handsome, complicates everything.

Against the stunning backdrop of ancient ruins and vibrant nightlife, Will must confront his past, his desires, and the true meaning of love.

As if all that weren’t enough, famous witch Linden Fairchild has come to town, complete with a charismatic smile, an unreadable aura, and a surefire plan to cure curses.How’s a cursed witch to know which enchanting man is his destiny?
