A lady trying to understand her magic. A lord hoping to safeguard a kingdom. For these unwilling allies, a fake courtship is the only path forward. *** Reyn Callan has hidden her vivacity for years. Finally free of puritanical Moial, she becomes an accomplished flirt. But her popularity might owe more to succubus magic than her personality. While she struggles to understand who she is and what she can do, the last thing Reyn needs is to spend any more time with the one lord unimpressed by her charms. Velario Ferrini would forgo social events altogether if he didn’t need to maintain the impression that nothing is wrong at the banks he manages. He certainly wants nothing to do with empty-headed flirts like Lady Reyn. But if he wants to prove himself and show that he deserves to be his father’s heir and the next King of Lhanaperi, Velario cannot let anyone suspect there might be trouble. Reyn just might be the solution to all his problems. To protect Lhanaperi’s economy, Velario must pretend to court the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Forced to work together, can Velario and Reyn learn to see past first impressions?

In this enchanted castle, only the truth can break his curse. Felix is the Duke of Truthhold, tied to the most powerful magical node on the continent. But when he is transformed into a beast, he needs help to break the curse. He will do whatever it takes to regain his true form, even if it means using magic to trap a woman in his castle. Isabel understands exactly why someone would resort to cursing the duke. He is selfish, contrary, and deceitful. She can’t afford to spend her days attempting to reverse his curse, not with her chance to become a full-fledged constable on the line. But the mysteries of Rose Castle are more compelling than she expected. As is the duke. The duke’s enemies won’t stop with just a curse, though, and time is running short. But how can Felix and Isabel triumph if victory requires them to admit their growing feelings for each other? ***A Beauty and the Beast retelling with lots of banter, steamy romance, and a happily ever after. ***

An incubus reluctant to use his powers. An empath confident in her own skin. His powers may not affect her, but there’s more than magic in play. *** Lisca doesn’t want to be a part of Lhanaperi’s trade delegation. While she is heir to a powerful merchant family, she is on the negotiation team for one reason only—her empathic talents are the perfect foil to Khiran BeVelor, the Moialans’ not-so-secret weapon. Being part incubus gives Khiran the power to engender more than just lust in the people around him. Too bad his uncle, the king, thinks his only use is seducing his opponents. Khiran plans to ignore his uncle’s expectations and rely on other emotions to gain favorable trade concessions for Moial. But when the empath detects his every lure—even those he didn’t know he used—seduction might be the only option. But who will be the seducer, and who the seduced?
