In an alternate Ancient Rome, a powerful witch can control men with one taste of their blood – and her fate will collide with a fierce, rebellious dragon. A spellbinding gift . . . A plea answered by the gods . . . An unforgiving world where dragons rule Rome. Lela Bihari’s village was invaded on her wedding night, her betrothed murdered right in front of her. While her sisters were either dragged away or escaped, Lela was sold to Valerius, a consul of Rome. When she tried to kill Valerius her first night as his slave, her bloodsinger gift manifested . . . and she was punished for it. Now she’s paraded in front of the other senators for their amusement. But the dragon Trajan Tiberius, newly elected tribune to the senate, is different. He has no love for the brutality around him. When he frees Lela from enslavement and hides her, Lela is set on a path of vengeance, and using her gift puts her in more danger than ever before. Now trapped inside the walls of Rome while deathriders circle the skies, how can she possibly trust a Roman dragon? Especially when it is clear Trajan has ulterior schemes of his own? As her powers grow stronger, danger draws closer, and Lela realizes it isn’t just her life at stake, but also her heart.

A lány és a herceg 2: A nevelőnő leckéje
Egy férfi, aki habzsolja az életet és a nőket. És egy nevelőnő, aki feladja neki a leckét.
Alexandra Mountbatten egy pillanat alatt elveszített mindent, és kénytelen elvállalni egy lehetetlennek tűnő állást: két vadóc lánykából kell illedelmes, finom hölgyet formálnia.
Hamar rájön, hogy a lányoknak nem vasszigorra, hanem szerető otthonra van szükségük. De hogyan győzhetné meg erről a gyámjukat, Chase Reynaud-t, akit a londoni közéletben a hercegi cím várományosaként ismernek, a magánéletben pedig egymás után omlanak a karjába a nők?
Noha már sokan megpróbálták elérni, hogy megállapodjon, sorra kudarcot vallottak. Alexandrának viszont muszáj valahogy megtalálnia az utat a férfi szívéhez, ám anélkül, hogy közben veszélybe sodorná a sajátját.
Chase egyetlen szabály mentén éli az életét: elköteleződésről szó sem lehet.
Amikor azonban a makacs nevelőnő megpróbálja ,,jó útra téríteni", elhatározza, hogy bebizonyítja neki: őt képtelenség megzabolázni. Leckét pedig ő is tud adni abból, amihez a legjobban ért - a gyönyörből.
Alexandra azonban okos, talpraesett és szenvedélyes. Felülmúlja a férfi várakozásait. Vajon képes lesz őt megváltoztatni, ha egyszer a férfi maga sem hiszi, hogy ez lehetséges?
Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.
