The stars chose them. The prophecy binds them. Twins Fadeya and Seraphina are bound by blood and starlight, named in a prophecy that promises they will either unite the fractured realms or sunder them forever. At Aestral Unison University, where bonds with magical creatures awaken power and the fae world presses against the human one, the sisters are set upon diverging paths. Long ago, fae twins tried and failed to heal the rift between the realms. Their story ended in ruin. Now the question can human sisters succeed where the fae could not? Fadeya, bold and headstrong, believes her rise is inevitable. Seraphina, cautious and uncertain, dreads what the stars might demand. And no bond, not even the bond of sisters, is safe from the pull of destiny.

She’s the wife he never wanted…and the weakness he never saw coming. Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant.  Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally. The billionaire CEO never planned to marry— until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows. Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.   There’s only one problem: now that he has her...he can't bring himself to let her go. *** Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered. Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family’s ticket into the highest echelons of high society. Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money family. While the rude, elusive Dante isn't her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty.  Craving his touch was never part of the plan.  Neither was the worst thing she could possibly do: fall in love with her future husband. King of Wrath is a steamy billionaire/arranged marriage romance. It contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and mild violence. Recommended for mature readers only.
