In a royal marriage of convenience, nothing is less convenient than love. Princess Evaraine always knew she would one day wed a stranger, but her arranged marriage to the Prince of Garimore is nothing like she expected. She never anticipated losing her heart to the man she would marry. And she certainly would not have guessed that she’d be leaving him behind within hours of their wedding. After the arrival of devastating news, Evaraine must make her way home in a desperate—and likely doomed—attempt to save her father. One tiny shard of hope remains, but it is a hope that requires her to face the darkness alone. Far from anyone familiar or beloved. Far from the man she knows will never return her love. But she has no choice. There is no one else to fight for the people she was born to lead… no one but the most unlikely ally imaginable. Prince Danric of Garimore has endured the dissolution of everything he thought he knew and found himself at a crossroads where only one certainty remains—if he cannot save the woman he has pledged his life to, every other victory will seem hollow. But how can he convince her to trust him? Forgive him? How can he even find her when she seems determined to hide? Time is running out, and the fate of all Abreia may rest with two wary hearts afraid to trust in the one thing that could save them both.

And then there’s Danric—the driven and seemingly heartless crown prince of Garimore. Evaraine knows she should hate him, both for what he represents and for forcing her into a distasteful alliance. Yet despite his intimidating presence, Evaraine begins to catch glimpses of a much different man than the one he shows the rest of the world.

But if she stays, it means betraying the fragile trust of the man who saved her life in Garimore.

When dire news arrives from Farhall, both Leisa and Kyrion must decide where their ultimate loyalties lie. Can Kyrion find a path to peace that does not require him to give up the only woman he has ever loved?

His only remaining ambition is to save the Five Thrones from annihilation, by bringing an end to the reign of a power hungry king. Driven by guilt and and the grim specter of failure, Vaniell must travel far beyond the borders of his own lands to the coastal kingdom of Iria, where he hopes to find the elusive weapon he needs. What he finds instead is a tantalizingly beautiful mystery, one he can neither dismiss nor ignore. Kiss him or kill him? Karreya has spent the last ten years behind the impenetrable walls of the Enclave—the harsh, unforgiving school for imperial assassins. But they trained her better than they knew, and now she is free, with only one mission in mind—to find the father who abandoned her for a new life in Abreia. Lost in an unfamiliar world, she collides—literally—with the most beautiful, most infuriating man she has ever met. She ought to just kill him, but his smile is as deadly as his magic, and somewhere beneath his razor-edged charm is a heart as guarded as her own. Their meeting seems wrought by fate, but for Vaniell and Karreya, fate is a double edged sword. Their only hope is to find a way to turn that blade on their enemies… before it divides the two of them forever.

Temper

Old secrets are brought to light when a family matriarch returns to Brazil after years away in this “original and highly immersive” (Good Morning America) debut that explores the heartbreak and hope of what it means to be from two homes, two peoples, and two worlds. Daniel Cunha has a lot on his mind. He got dumped by his pregnant girlfriend, his grandfather just dropped dead, and on the anniversary of the raid that doomed his drug-dealing aunt and uncle, his mother makes her unwanted return, years after she fled to marry another American fool like his father. Misfortune, however, is a Cunha family affair, and no generation is spared. Not Daniel’s grandfather João—poor João—born to a prostitute and forced to raise his siblings while still a child himself. Not João’s wife, Marta, branded as a bruxa, reviled by her mother, and dragged from her Ilha paradise by her scheming daughter, Maria. And certainly not Maria, so envious of her younger sister’s beauty and benevolence that she took her vicious revenge and fled to the States, abandoning her children: Daniel and Lucia, both tainted now by their half-Americanness and their mother’s greedy absence. There’s poison in the Cunha blood. They are a family cursed, condemned to the pain of deprivation, betrayal, violence, and, worst of all, love. But now Maria has returned to grieve her father and finally make peace with Daniel and Lucia, or so she says. As New Year’s Eve nears, the Cunha family hurtles toward an irrevocable breaking point: a fire, a knife, and a death on the sands of Copacabana Beach. Amid the cacophony of Rio’s tumult—rampant poverty, political unrest, the ever-present threat of violence—a fierce chorus of voices rises above the din to ask whether we can ever truly repair the damage we do to those we love in this “fiery debut novel” (The Washington Post).

Faceless

A stunning blend of vivid fantasy and political drama, The Vanished Queen is the timely story of a young resistance fighter working to overthrow a totalitarian ruler’s regime of terror and lies. “[G]ripping…this is the novel the world needs now” (Kate Heartfield, Nebula Award finalist and author of Aurora Award–winning novel Armed in Her Fashion). Long ago, Queen Mirantha vanished. King Karolje claimed she was assassinated by a neighboring ruler, but her people knew the truth: the king had Disappeared her himself. Now the queen’s disappearance is hardly a memory—merely one among many horrors the king’s reign has wrought. But when Anza, a young student impassioned by her father’s unjust execution, finds the missing queen’s diary, she is inspired by Mirantha’s words—joins the resistance group to overthrow the king. Prince Esvar is the second son to an evil king. Trapped under his thumb and desperate for a way out, a chance meeting with Anza gives him the opportunity to join the resistance. Together, they might have the leverage to move against the king—but if they fail, their deaths could mean a total loss of freedom for generations to follow. In this dangerous game of court politics, one misstep could lead to a fate worse than death. Set in a world where resistance is as dangerous as it is important, The Vanished Queen is a “big, dark, intricate novel” (Lousia Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches) about the courage and sacrifice it requires to take on a tyrant.

Book 3: Lovely Lethal Gardens Riches to rags. … Chaos calms. … Crime quiets. … But does it really? After getting involved in two murder cases in the short time she’s lived in picturesque Kelowna, divorcee and gardener Doreen Montgomery has developed a reputation almost as notorious as her Nan’s. The only way to stop people from speculating, is to live a life of unrelieved boredom until the media and the neighbors forget about her. And Doreen aims to do just that with a tour of Kelowna’s famed Carnation Gardens. Plants, more plants, and nothing whatsoever that anyone could object to. But when she sees a fight between a beautiful young woman and her boyfriend, she can’t help but be concerned. Concerned enough that she follows the couple out of the parking lot and through town. And when gunshots interrupt the placid afternoon, it’s too late to worry about how her nemesis, Corporal Mack Moreau, will feel about her getting involved in yet another of his cases. With bodies turning up in the carnations, and a connection to a cold case of a missing child from long ago, Doreen has her hands full, not least with trying to keep her involvement in the investigations a secret from her Nan, Mack Moreau, and especially the media. But someone’s keeping up with Doreen’s doings… and that someone can’t afford for her to find the answers to the questions she’s asking.

Corpse in the Carnations

Fugitive. Traitor. Assassin. Queen. The specter of war looms over the Five Thrones. The King of Garimore prepares his armies for conquest while the world watches and waits. But in the shadows, rebellion is growing, and unlikely allies begin to gather. A defiant princess trapped in a marriage of convenience with the heir to the tyrant’s throne… A fugitive prince locked in a reluctant alliance with a gorgeous enemy assassin… Together, they may hold the key to the king’s defeat, but only if they can learn to trust one another in time. Bonds will be tested. Hearts will be broken. And by the choices of a destined few, the fate of the world will be forever changed.
