I’m stalking a man with dark, terrifying secrets, and I still can’t bring myself to fear him. How can I, when he’s the doctor who saved my life? “Not on my watch.” That’s what Dr. Alaric Lockwood said when I told him I didn’t think I was going to make it. He stayed true to his word. I’m alive because of him. I should be grateful and move on like he did. Impossible. Years have passed since that night, and I still can’t get him out of my mind. That’s why I’m back in town. Why I’m not going anywhere. Why I don’t question my fixation on him, even when I catch him doing things he shouldn’t. We’re meant to be. Slowly but surely, he’s starting to see it too, growing as obsessed with me as I am with him. The only problem is, he won’t open up about the dark secret I uncovered while stalking him. If he thinks I need protecting from that side of him, he’s wrong. I’m not fragile. I won’t break. But since he doesn’t know it yet, I’ll have to do something drastic to convince him… And hope it doesn’t backfire on us.

A princess’s forced marriage to a dangerously seductive prince becomes a life-and-death alliance in an exhilarating adventure by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of A Tribute of Fire. Lia is always prepared for battle, but being blackmailed into marriage by Prince Alexandros is a challenge too far. She has no choice. He’s holding her sister hostage to force her hand. But with this union built on betrayal and rage comes a contract. By the goddess’s law, the marriage must not be consummated. A relief to Lia. She’d rather commit regicide than fall into bed with a man she loathes. There is one other saving grace. Marriage gives Lia access to the palace and a chance to uncover the truth about the treasured eye of the goddess—and the magic it holds. But something inexplicable and impossible to ignore soon binds Lia and the prince. By night they walk in each other’s dreams, and by day they share each other’s pain. As longing and trust grow between Lia and Alexandros and inhibited desires are set free, outside forces rise against them, posing an ever-present danger. Not only to the throne but to their very lives.

The fate of a cursed nation depends on a princess who must outwit a mortal enemy and outlast the trials of a death-defying ritual in a thrilling adventure by USA Today bestselling author Sariah Wilson. Lia is the princess of Locris, a dying desert nation cursed centuries ago by an earth goddess—one still worshipped by the thriving and adversarial nation of Ilion. Every year, Ilion offers the goddess a sacrifice: two Locrian maidens forced to compete in a life-and-death race to reach her temple. In a millennium, no maiden has made it out of Ilion alive. This year, Lia is one of the hunted. An education in battle gives her a fighting chance, but the challenges are greater than she feared: Lia’s beloved but untrained sister Quynh has been put in the path of danger. The winding streets of Ilion itself have been transformed into a labyrinthine maze of countless choices and dead ends. And if the risks weren’t significant enough, Lia is reluctantly drawn to the commandingly attractive Jason, an Ilionian sailor she loathes to trust and desires like no man before. The tribute game is on. It’s up to Lia to lift the goddess’s curse, restore Locris to its former glory, and change the fate of every young woman destined to follow in her path.
