Fire and Desire

He snatched me from the jaws of death for one reason, to be his. I was a dead king's sacrificial bride, until his murderer claimed me as his. Zabriel invaded my country of Maledin on the back of a monstrous, fire-breathing dragon and took me prisoner. The lethal Zabriel towers over me in steel plate armor, and he could easily crush the life out of me-but the Flame King isn't interested in harming me. Instead, he destroys everyone who has hurt me in a storm of fire and vengeance. There's malignant rot deep within my country. My family has vanished along with whole villages of people. As I desperately try to find those who are missing, my body and heart awaken under a powerful and alarming force. Zabriel sets my soul ablaze every time he growls, "Mine." He calls me his fated mate. The rarest. The most vulnerable. The one he craves to possess and protect. When evil forces in Maledin threaten everyone, I know and love, there's only one person who is strong enough to help me defeat them, and the only place where I'm safe from an ancient foe is in the arms of the Flame King. Contains mature themes.

His desire for me burns hotter than flames, but unseen forces threaten to tear us apart. I was the Flame King's reluctant mate, a bride he snatched from another man's funeral pyre. Zabriel was chosen for me by fate, and I fought my craving for him every step of the way. At seven feet tall and riding the biggest, meanest dragon in the flare, Zabriel is an Alpha who can take whatever he wants and burn those who stand in his way. Yet he healed my wounded heart with coaxing words and fiery kisses until I craved no one but him. In the midst of war, I found love in the arms of the Flame King. My first heat is drawing closer and soon Zabriel will finally claim me and make me his. I'm his Omega and his bride, but I'm also a witch. There are many in Maledin who would rather see me burn than become Zabriel's bride, or even kill their king before he can marry me. Friends wear masks that conceal their blood-soaked intentions. Enemies past and present are sharpening their knives. Dragons hunt for prey and protecting the man I love could leave my heart bleeding on ashes. Contains mature themes.

Our hearts are fated, but love is a fiery path. Enemies and friends alike have tried to burn our love to cinders, but through the smoke and ash, the Flame King and I have always found our way back to one another. When Zabriel places a crown upon my head, his blood and his scent sing of his love for me. All of Maledin celebrates my coronation with the most spectacular Dragon Games the country has ever seen. But the celebrations are laced with calamity as riders from the wild flare demand to participate, and evil finds its way within the sturdy castle walls. Maledin's darkest hour upon us. Fate is not enough to save us, and we will endure the fiery blade of battle only if our love burns true. Contains mature themes.

As her father lay dying, I swore always to protect fifteen-year-old Zenevieve. I took the grieving girl in, and she filled my life with sunshine. Now she's grown, she's looking for a mate, and her eyes have turned to me. Zenevieve has always been my weakness, but she's not the woman who has been promised to me. I'm waiting for the Omega I've never met, who may have died, who could be lost to me forever. I will wait for her, because I would rather perish in dragonfire than touch a woman who isn't mine. But starving for my mate burns my soul. I can resist all temptation, until one day I slip, and I catch the wrong woman in my arms. Sweet, adoring Zenevieve will never forgive me for rejecting her, and I'll never forgive myself for causing her pain. The world ends, and then it begins again. Five hundred years later, I've got a second chance to make things right. This time around, I'm doing everything differently. The woman I shouldn't want is going to be mine. Contains mature themes.
