"A quiet witch. A golden-hearted orc. One unexpected partnership—and an unforgettable night under the stars.
Poppy Waverly is used to being the quiet one. The good student. The helpful witch who never raises her hand unless she's absolutely sure she's right. With dream magic she's still learning to trust and the pressure of helping plan the academy's first Blue Moon Ball, she's already out of her depth. Agreeing to tutor Aric Vandermere—the distractingly charming orc barely scraping by in class—only makes things more complicated.
Aric Vandermere knows he's on thin ice. If he doesn't pass this semester, he risks losing his spot as the captain on the runeball team—and he might get stuck having to repeat his senior year. Poppy is his last shot at turning things around, but the more time he spends with her, the more he wants something he's not sure he deserves.
What begins as reluctant tutoring soon deepens into stolen glances, shared laughter, and one magical night that changes everything. But as the Blue Moon Ball draws near and Poppy's dreams begin to show signs of heartbreak, they'll have to decide whether what they've found is real or just another fleeting spell."
"Bridgerton meets vampires in this spicy historical romance.
Afflicted by a mysterious illness since childhood and without a single interested suitor, Adelina Gray is certain she'll never have a husband to call her own—someone to love, to build a life and family with. Her sickness has caused her to cling to shadows, an outcast in the glittering and luxurious ballrooms of Everborough.
While stumbling through a dance at yet another soirée, Adelina catches the eye of the rich and powerful Viscount Rosetti, society's most eligible bachelor—a man desperate mothers will do anything to secure for their daughters. Adelina is certain she'll never be good enough for him. How could she ever be worthy of a viscount when even the common gentleman finds her ailments to be a disgrace? But the fire in his eyes says otherwise, as does the smoldering heat of his forbidden touch.
Despite her father's fervent disapproval, Adelina allows the viscount to court her secretly. She begins to unravel his mysteries, discovering he’s something straight out of a blood-soaked fairy tale. His kiss awakens something within her, a hunger that's been bound in chains for far too long. Now she's ready to break free, even if it means tearing apart the only life she's ever known."
"Alina Ravenscroft has a plan: graduate from Coven Crest Academy, master her magic, and join the king's powerful coven of witches. The only problem? The king is her grandfather, and he insists she can't attend without a knight by her side. A bodyguard. A babysitter.
Raelan Ashvale is one of the king's elite knights—and a secret dragon shifter. Raelan is assigned as Princess Alina's personal guard. But there's a catch: Alina is Raelan's fated mate, and for the past three years, he's been doing everything he can to ignore the overwhelming pull between them, the searing need to claim her and make her his own. He can't afford to give in to his desire for her—especially when revealing the secret of his dragon could risk everything for Raelan and his family.
As Alina and Raelan are forced to spend more time together, the growing tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Raelan has a duty to the king, to his family, and to his secret. But when danger draws closer and threats to Alina's safety become all too real, Raelan will have to confront the dangerous truths about his dragon—and the powerful connection he shares with the princess."
