Summary

Vina West, a spirited beauty from the town of Penguin, Tasmania, grew up cherishing the love of her adoptive parents. When adulthood beckons, she finds herself in the bustling streets of Melbourne, building a life filled with friendships. But it's Tasmania's pull that brings her back, and an unexpected discovery that sends her on a journey across oceans to Glasgow in search of her roots.
 
In the heart of Scotland, Vina not only traces her family's secrets and connections, but also stumbles upon Philip Dawson, a charming Glasgow lawyer. In art galleries and age-old streets, a budding romance unfolds as Vina unravels the past. With a newfound half-sister, a nephew, and a love story she hadn't dared to dream of, Vina finds herself intertwined between two worlds.
 
A heartfelt journey that will take you from the serene shores of Tasmania to the historic heart of Scotland, VINA'S QUEST is a tale of discovery, love, and family ties that cross continents.

    Cardiologist Wyatt Smith is on his way to a conference with fellow employee Levi Johnson when they are about to run out of gas the day before Christmas Eve. It's snowing hard, making visibility difficult. Wyatt makes the decision to get cabin rooms at a motel before the car runs out of gas. There's only one cabin available, though, and it's the honeymoon suite.
    Levi is a little pissed Wyatt didn't fill up the rental car's gas tank before they hit the road. He has always respected the brilliant surgeon, and has a little crush on him, too. But when Wyatt suggests they get some rooms at a motel straight out of a horror flick, Levi thinks the good doctor is out of his damn mind. With a blizzard on the way closing the roads, they have no choice but to hunker down and share a cabin until the weather clears.
    Wyatt and Levi harbor crushes on each other, though neither dares hope the other feels the same. Will being forced to share the only bed force them to admit their feelings?

    They were surely fated. 
     
    This was meant to happen. 
     
    No shifter has complete control over their most primal instincts. They are meant to live free — and Cory was meant to breed and carry on his bloodline. He's at the time in which he is supposed to start a family, and it's too easy that Elijah had fallen into his life right now... a young, perfect omega. 
     
    But this is a world where rival packs of shifters hold century-old rivalries, and no one is safe... Even young omegas with no idea about their true ancestry... 
    All that matters is that Cory and Elijah's love is real. The power of their bond is undeniable — Elijah is carrying Cory's child, proving their love in the most powerful form a shifter knows... 
     
    A child born of two male parents, through male pregnancy. 
     
    But is a happily ever after the way their story will end? Or will it all come crashing down before this young omega in love comes to term?

    The lovers will reawaken. 
    Augustus Labienus Triarius has finally gained his own ship amongst his family’s pirate fleet. The man with one blue eye, one brown is ready for the war against an old foe. But he’s inexplicably drawn to the kingdom of Perean, called by visions of the woman with one brown eye and one blue. 
    Selene Marinea has grown accustomed to life as Princess Alexandra’s handmaiden and whipping dog. The girl with mismatched eyes has no illusions of escape from Perean. King Orestis Vidalatos has owned her since birth, and what he owns, he keeps. Until the day the castle’s most guarded prisoner turns to Selene for help.The true heir will be revealed. 
    After decades in captivity and broken to the point of disfigurement, the true and assumed-dead king of Perean makes two requests of Selene: find the one for whom she was prophesied, and together, find the child he safely hid. But King Orestis has no intention of giving up his throne. Nor will he allow Selene to escape and locate the heir no one has ever found. He knows the prophecy well, and once he has her mate in hand, he can finally drop them both into the fires of the Ethereal Mountain.

Most of all, why a prophecy deems them responsible for returning the rightful king on threat of never seeing their twenty-first year. If King Orestis has his way, they won’t see another life at all.
