Shadow Mark

Nancey Cummings

Sinopse

A king without an heir must be in want of a queen.
Baris has sacrificed his health to bring peace to the kingdom. He has always put the needs of the crown above his own, even entering a loveless marriage for a political alliance. He bore it all with stoic dignity.
Now the queen is dead, and he must select a new queen. Someone who brings wealth or influence. Someone with the approval of the council.
So why can’t he stop thinking of the human doctor with the fine eyes?
He rescued her when a portal dumped her on a wild moon, and he may have made some unflattering remarks about her person.
He must correct this mistake. He offers her a position at the palace as a medic, fully intending to win her affections.
The council won’t approve. Lenore barely tolerates him, but his heart is most ardent and will not be denied.
First impressions matter.
And King Baris? The worst.
He’s beautiful and powerful, sure, and he also has an enormous… ego.
Lenore overhears what he really thinks of her-- not flattering, by the way-- and isn’t going to stick around to be insulted.
So why then does she accept his job offer? Must be the alien gravity playing tricks on her.
You don’t get a second chance at a first impression.
Shadow Mark is a slow burn, royal romance with Pride and Prejudice vibes between an alien king and a stubborn human doctor, and a Happily Ever After. No cheating. While Shadow Mark can be read on its own, it is the sequel to Splintered Shadow, so why not read both?

She's running from London's marriage mart. He's running out of time to save his estate. Neither intends to fall in love--but their hearts have other plans.

American heiress Calliope Hart is thrust into London's high society against her will, all because her mother is determined to marry her off to an aristocrat.

Blooming Alone

Laura Sinclair

For her entire life, Sunny Wells has been in Julian's hands.

He named her. He chose her major. He got her a job. He decided what she ate, what she wore, who she spent time with — and called it love.

Then a car accident gave her one terrifying, clarifying moment: she did not want to die. She had not yet lived.

*Blooming Alone* is the story of what Sunny builds next — through failed assignments, late nights, a competition she enters expecting to lose, and a prestigious career she earns entirely on her own.

By the time Julian comes back to say he made a mistake, Sunny has found something far more valuable than his apology.
