Master of Hounds: Book 3

R. A. Steffan

Which is more important—loyalty to one's country, or loyalty to one's lover? 
Despite decades spent in service to the Alyrion Empire, Caius Oppita has betrayed both Decian and the imperial family he purports to serve, all within the space of a few weeks. 
With his honor already in tatters, he faces a new, unanswerable dilemma. If he allows Decian to become a figurehead for those who would see the current regime fall, the man he loves will be in unutterable danger. If he doesn't, the empire his family has served for generations will fall under the rule of either a sadistic schemer or a drunken madman. 
Regardless, civil war is coming. 
All Decian ever wanted was a quiet life of obscurity. All Caius ever wanted was to perform his duty faithfully. 
But what does his duty entail, when all of the options are equally terrible?

Claimed by the Orc Prince - MM...

Lionel Hart

An elven prince. The son of an orc warlord. In two warring nations, their arranged marriage brings peace. They never expected to fall in love.
Prince Taegan Glynzeiros has prepared since childhood to fight and lead armies against invading orc forces, the enemies of elves for hundreds of years. But after a successful peace treaty, the elven prince will not be fighting orcs, but marrying one.
The first words he speaks to Zorvut are their wedding vows. Despite being considered the runt amongst the orc warlord’s children, Taegan finds him to be intelligent and thoughtful—everything the stereotypes about orcs say he shouldn’t be. He doesn’t want to fall in love, but Zorvut’s gentle soul makes it difficult to resist. Worse, their marriage bond, forged by ancient elven magic between their minds, proves to be a far deeper and stronger connection than anyone expected. Despite their trepidation, a genuine relationship blossoms from the political union.
But such a long war is not easily forgotten, and there are both elves and orcs who want to see them apart. When a dark secret comes to light, threatening to nullify the very peace treaty that brought them together, Taegan must decide if his feelings for Zorvut are worth fighting for.
This steamy MM fantasy romance, the first in the Orc Prince trilogy, features an arranged marriage with delicious size difference, and contains light omegaverse/A/B/O elements (mpreg is discussed as an in-world possibility, but does not happen on the page). This 18+ novel contains explicit scenes; if that's not your thing, Lionel Hart probably isn't the author for you.
⚠Content warnings: discussions of parental death, infidelity (not between main characters), hunting, animal death.

Pride Amid Prejudice - A...

MMM Chief Warrant Officer...

Chief Warrant Officer Necole Belanger created a professional persona that was no-nonsense and highly put-together. But the truth was much more complex. 
 
 
 
Necole's story is a tale of two lives, the CWO raised in a military family, and the woman coming to terms with her sexuality, in a time where the two could not coexist. A lesbian member of the military police during the LGBTQ Purge in the Canadian Armed Forces, Necole would achieve success and promotion in her career despite a near-constant struggle. 
 
 
 
But the higher she rose in rank within the Canadian Armed Forces, the less her voice was heard. When she should have had the most influence, she had none. When she'd finally earned a seat at the table, no one listened. Her life was dedicated to an institution that didn't return her loyalty. 
 
 
 
The result? 
 
 
 
Depression and drinking and a downward spiral, all hidden behind a mask. And then the courage to be honest and put the pieces of her life back together. 
 
 
 
Pride Amid Prejudice is the story of one woman's struggle to find a voice in a world determined to silence her. A journey of self-discovery through adversity, of resilience in the face of discrimination, and pride amid prejudice.
