  A haunted past. 
  Two seductive vampires. 
  One choice that could ignite a war. 
  Ava Winters never asked to become the center of a supernatural tug-of-war. Quiet, reclusive, and trying to outrun the scars of her past, she lives a modest life as a small-town waitress—until one stormy night changes everything. 
  Attacked in the dark, saved by a stranger, and plunged into a world of ancient bloodlines and deadly politics, Ava discovers she’s more than human. She’s part of the Nightborne—a long-forgotten vampire lineage with a power that could tip the balance of the immortal world. 
  Lucien: the dark prince, controlled, protective, and dangerously alluring. 
  Damon: the wild rebel, impulsive, possessive, and maddeningly seductive. 
  Both vampire brothers want her. Both have secrets. And both may be lying. 
  As Ava fights to understand her true nature, the lines between love and danger blur. Desire burns hotter than blood, and trust becomes a deadly gamble. But awakening the darkness inside her may be the only way to survive… 
  Bitten by Desire is a steamy, emotional paranormal romance filled with slow-burn tension, a love triangle, vampire intrigue, and an unforgettable heroine on the edge of transformation. 
  Perfect for fans of J.R. Ward, Kresley Cole, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

  The Midwife’s Silence 
  by Unrepeatable Beauty 
  Not every birth begins with a heartbeat. 
  Not every mother carries a child. 
  And not every silence is empty. 
  In The Midwife’s Silence, we return to the Listening Clinic—where presence is the first medicine, and stories arrive in breath, not just blood. Through ten quietly luminous chapters, Anahita, a midwife of rare intuition, welcomes those at the edge of transformation: a grieving mother, a joyful father, a poet becoming himself, a woman choosing not to bear children. 
  This is not a book about delivery. 
  It is a book about becoming. 
  For midwives, it is a mirror. 
  For those in transition, a refuge. 
  For readers, an unfolding. 
  Come closer. 
  You do not need to explain. 
  You are already becoming.

  In the lush, rolling hills of the Cotswolds, governess Mary Wilcox finds her latest charge: the Carlton family. With wealth and elegance that could rival royalty, the Carltons are the epitome of modern aristocracy. 
  
  But beneath their polished exterior lies a tangle of silent grudges and family secrets.
  
  And one of them may lead to murder.
  
  Someone in this household harbors a sinister story, cloaked in aristocratic civility—a story that could turn her into the confidant of a troubled soul--or the next unsuspecting victim.
  
  As Mary digs deeper, she encounters inexplicable occurrences that mirror her own sister's disappearance, causing her to question if she's uncovering truths--or falling prey to her own haunted psyche.
  
  In a house full of masters and secrets, who can she truly trust?

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume our safe and known world becomes intertwined with that of dark and often malevolent forces from the other side to produce stories that shape themselves into narratives that will betray us in a sentence.
