A CLOSER LOOK
Is everything he’s showing her a delusion?
In 1816 the young widow, Isabel Beldan, leaves England and hopefully the pains of her past behind her. But leaving her past is proving harder than she thought and the unfamiliar Carpathian lands, she finds herself in, is anything but comforting. The mysteries of this rugged, ancient place are deep and unsettling, and so too is the powerful Carpathian lord she meets there.
How can a man so darkly brooding, one who haunts his own castle, stir such things inside her? Lucian Tiurean is not even human, as she knows it. And she’s been told he is capable of weaving deceptions into mortal minds. With each passing day it is becoming more and more obvious that he is determined to have her. Using her grief to make her want love again. When he dares to wrest her away from her traveling companions and sends them on their way without her, it raises her own tenacious determination against him. Isabel will not let him use the heartbreaks of her past to rule her.
Lucian Tiurean is sure that Isabel Beldan has no idea what her common blood stirs in him, nor the insatiable hunger that drives his determination to do whatever it takes to have her. But does he dare to damn her to the consequence of the Black Dragon of prophecy, claiming her?
It is a price she may pay with her life. For even he does not have the power to usurp what has been foretold.
For centuries her people fought a race of men with terrifying powers and silver tongues of deception. How could she have let her guard down?
Brez Elathean betrayed her trust just as Klari thought he would. He’d charmed her, enthralled her, and hid from her what he was, an enemy with frightening powers. He is everything she’s been taught to fear. Everything she’s been taught to destroy, and he has callously taken her heart.
Brez knew what Klari Marisel was. Her people hunted his kind for centuries. To love her was forbidden to him. Brez knew that from the beginning. To have her was a dangerous game to play. Brez knew that too. When he returns Klari back into the hands of her own people, her trust in him broken, he knows she will never forgive him. Neither will they. Now they seek to destroy him while he has discovered he needs their help more than ever to find an ancient and deadly artifact that could destroy them all.
A stolen kiss, a secret love, and sins he must never find out.
They called him the Dragon’s Fire. Their enemies feared him, their people bowed to him. But Aeliana Eloria loved him. It was the secret of her life. A secret she would guard at all costs, for Danaerus Lucthien must never learn the truth about her, or he would despise her forever. But now, after years of avoiding his notice one impulsive decision throws her into his path, and Danaerus is looking too close. He has the power to read the intents of the heart, how can she possibly keep him from discovering her sins?
If ever there was a woman who was an example of why legends had been born of their people. It was Aeliana Eloria. But it doesn’t take Danaerus long to realize she has secrets that she is hiding behind the ice façade she shows him. When circumstance brings them to hastily wed, Danaerus finds that she has brought him far more trouble than he bargained for in their arrangement. An unwelcome chaos as they hunt for a dangerous enemy who wields the legendary and deadly sword called the Light Eater. As things heat up with the enemy, so too does the attraction between Danaerus and Aeliana. But if there is ever to be anything between them, Danaerus will have to melt that icy façade of hers and unravel her closely guarded secrets. He knows there will be a hefty price to pay to do it. The question is which one of them will pay it?
To have what’s his, he’ll rule her nights.
