Venom and Vows - A Dark Romance...

Elise Fontaine

Isabella’s life shatters the night she’s taken. Not for ransom, not for revenge, but as a twisted offering to a man who dwells in shadows. Dante Moretti, a figure whispered about in hushed tones, now holds her captive in his secluded estate. He claims she is his, bound to him by a debt she doesn't understand.

As days bleed into weeks, Isabella finds herself drawn into Dante’s dangerous world. His touch is a brand, his gaze a cage, and his possessive nature ignites a forbidden desire she can't deny. But Dante is not merely a captor; he's a man battling his own demons, haunted by a past that threatens to consume them both. Isabella becomes his obsession, his solace, and perhaps, his undoing.

Trapped between fear and fascination, Isabella must navigate the treacherous currents of Dante’s affections. Every stolen kiss, every whispered promise, tightens the chains that bind them. But as the line between captor and captive blurs, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself, about Dante, and about the darkness that lurks beneath the surface.

Will Isabella succumb to the allure of her captor, or will she find a way to break free from the gilded cage he has built around her heart? And what will happen when the secrets that bind them together are finally revealed?

Perfect for fans of Penelope Douglas and Ana Huang, *Venom and Vows* is a dark and steamy captive romance that explores the intoxicating power of obsession and the dangerous allure of forbidden love.

Nothing Like a Dane - A...

Keri Bloomfield

The Danish concept of hygge is a wonderful thing. Even if most fail miserably when they try to pronounce or explain its true essence. Unless you’re a Viking of course. 
As Keri stood in the departure lounge of Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby, searching for her flight on the board, hygge wasn’t on her radar. In hindsight she agrees it probably should have been. 
But she’d never imagined a chance encounter with a Dane in a crowded bar in her home city of Wellington would lead her here, a mother, about to circle the globe, with no knowledge of when she'd return home. 
Eighteen thousand kilometres away a new life awaited her in Denmark. A country where babies sleep outside, the word for bread is seemingly impossible to pronounce and a country in which immigration challenges abound. 
A witty observer of cultural nuances, Keri reveals the day-to-day realities of a New Zealander living her best life in Denmark. From integration interrogations to rye bread misdemeanors, Nothing Like a Dane provides a humorous and heartfelt insight into creating a new life in a faraway land. 
And what did she learn? That it’s not all hygge and pastries. Even in Denmark.
