He’ll never stop fighting to keep his throne…and her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bailey has a huge decision to make. Born into a family of werewolves, she has yet to officially take part in the mating ritual that will fully transform her. Before marrying her fianc\u00e9, Ashton, she invoked the Right of Accord, allowing her five years to live amongst humans before officially committing to her new life. Her powerful family does not approve of her decision, and now she’s back…and still has doubts about Ashton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the hot new pack King Nathan Frost asks her to dance at the Fealty Ball, it enrages her fianc\u00e9, but also sparks a newfound lust in Bailey. Nathan is strictly off-limits. Not only is he the King, but he’s much older. Not to mention the fact that Bailey is engaged…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As rumors swirl, Bailey and Nathan pursue one another behind closed doors, and their passion is hot. But with the mating rite just around the corner, Bailey will be forced to make the biggest choice of her life. Will she mate with her fianc\u00e9, Ashton, or her forbidden King, Nathan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIGHTMARE BORN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conceived in dream. Born a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of things I know: story structure, Hollywood trivia, what makes a director great\u2026 It\u2019s the stuff I didn\u2019t know\u2013who my real father was, that my uncle is a demon, the fact that I\u2019m not human\u2013that\u2019s gotten me into so much trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After ripping my crush\u2019s heart out\u2013literally\u2013I discover that I\u2019m not just a normal autistic seventeen-year-old. I\u2019m the daughter of the King of Nightmares, the cruel and excessively goth ruler of the Nether. Now, I\u2019m stuck at Miss Perkins\u2019s School for Girls, learning how to exist in a world where things really do go bump in the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous magic, treacherous enemies, unfairly hot vampires, and magic schools are all tropes I love in movies. But throw them into my real life? Hard pass. And I still have to deal with queen bees and bullies while unraveling a conspiracy that could crumble the very foundations of reality as we know it? That\u2019s bullsh\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, may not have inherited his father’s crown, but the murdered king left his son a much more important responsibility—a portal to the Afterjord, where the souls of the dead reside.

In an underworld filled with leviathan monsters, ghoulish shades, fire giants, and fierce Valkyrie warriors, Hamlet and Romeo must battle their way through jealousy, despair, and their darkest fears to rescue the fair damsel.
