  Cassidy London joins the Leave Me Breathless World with a swoon-worthy, grunge-meets-pop rock-star romance.... 
  Jax 
  Mesmerized by her beauty, I watched as she swayed to the music. Incomparable and exotic, her call to every cell in my body was louder than the 120 decibels of our last concert. 
  Winning her should have been easy. But Aria Winters was unfazed by stardom and looked at me with disdain. She was the only girl I’d ever met who didn’t like rock stars. 
  Challenge accepted. 
  Aria 
  With his chiseled jawline, piercing black eyes, and international fame, Jax Andersson had a voice that made women everywhere swoon. Except for me. I couldn’t have cared less about the alternative rock world. It wasn’t my jam—and neither were junkie rock stars with massive egos. I was only there to do my job and move on with my life. 
  But when Jax offered me the one thing I was desperate for, I couldn’t refuse. 
  I should have stood my ground. He should have kept his distance. Because now, I was going to have to beat him at his own game. 
  "Fans of AL Jackson and Kristen Ashley will devour this! I love a good rockstar romance and Cassidy London didn't disappoint. She brought me back in time to those moments when I'd experienced all the feels!" (Not Your Moms Romance Blog)

  Mage Jannick Pederson thought it was a simple assignment: help the gryphon leader find some missing human children and then go home. A noble cause, even if he didn't much like the abrasive jerk. So why didn't someone tell him he'd be working closely with the leader's son instead? That hot piece of perfection could make even happily-single Jannick give up his no-strings-attached ways. 
   
   
   
  Gryphon shifter Conall Arwan has simple goals for his life: get his PhD in pediatric shifter social work and stay off the radar of his disapproving father. When his father orders him to work with a hot but arrogant mage to find missing human kids, all Conall sees is how it pushes back his graduation date. Again. And even if the mage unexpectedly turns out to be not so bad—and maybe even a little sweet—there's still no future for them. Conall's dad has plans for him and they don't include getting involved with a sexy, infuriating mage. 
   
   
   
  But fate has other ideas. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Nutcracker and the Mouse King

  "Beyond the sugar plums lies a world of clockwork wonders and ancient curses."
  
  On Christmas Eve, young Marie Stahlbaum witnesses her new Nutcracker come to life to lead an army of toy soldiers against the seven-headed Mouse King. But this is no simple bedtime story. In Hoffmann's original masterpiece, we discover the tragic "History of the Hard Nut," the secret of the Princess Pirlipat, and the true identity of the Nutcracker himself. Guided by her mysterious and eccentric Godfather Drosselmeyer, Marie must show true courage and devotion to break a century-old spell. It is a brilliant example of German Romanticism, filled with mechanical marvels, gingerbread castles, and the haunting beauty of a childhood imagination that refuses to be tamed.
  
  The "Hard Nut" Backstory: One of the most fascinating elements missing from many adaptations is the backstory of how the Nutcracker became deformed. This gothic sub-plot involves a vengeful Queen Mouse, a magical nut called Krakatuk, and a lesson on the fickle nature of beauty and gratitude.
  
  Surrealism and Wonder: Hoffmann was a master of "The Uncanny." He crafts a world where toys have complex social hierarchies and the scenery shifts from a quiet parlor to the sparkling Kingdom of Dolls. The story challenges the reader to wonder: is Marie dreaming, or is she the only one who can see the world as it truly is?
  
  Why It Is a Must-Read: If you only know the ballet, the book will surprise you with its depth, wit, and slightly darker edge. It is a story about the power of belief and the idea that "only a pure heart can see the marvelous." It remains the ultimate tribute to the magic of the holiday season and the boundless nature of the human spirit.
  
  Discover the truth behind the clockwork. Purchase "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" today.
