Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders... Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die

You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring. The first lesson is to make yourself that strong. Jude has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were biddable. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undiminished. When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a faerie world.

A grumpy alien cowboy, a pregnant human woman, and the power of finding family in the most unexpected of places…When I lose my home and my horse all in the same afternoon, I’m forced to take painful stock of my situation. I’m twenty-three years old. Single. And pregnant. I’ve always been the glass-half-full sort of gal, but things are looking truly dire as I stare down my rapidly approaching due date. That’s when I hear about Zabria Prinar One. A ranching outpost planet where a bunch of lonely alien cowboys are waiting for brides. I grew up on a ranch – surely I have enough to offer that one of them will want me. Even if my own family doesn’t. So I book a shuttle and go. But my pilot abandons me in a random field, leaving me to face down the intimidating elements alone. Including one very angry alien bull about to charge. Just before I get gored, a powerful rider with white eyes comes thundering out of the darkness to save me. His name is Zohro. He’s beautiful and pink – the colour of all my favourite things. He is also possibly the grumpiest and most impatient male I have ever met. But I don’t care. There’s a protective streak in him that makes me feel so safe, no matter how fierce his frowns are. Within moments of meeting him, I know that he’s the one I want to marry. I just have to tell him that I’m pregnant with another man’s child first…

An alien mountain man longing for a wife, the human woman who crashes into his world, and the fake marriage of convenience that feels just a bit too real... For most of my life, my beloved ship has been my home. So when I’m forced into a rough emergency landing among the mountains of a planet I’ve never heard of, I’m determined to get her up and running again as quickly as possible. Except “as quickly as possible” turns out to be at least two weeks. And nobody from off-world is allowed to hang around on Zabria Prinar One – a Zabrian penal colony for convicted murderers – for that long. Unless… Unless you marry one of said convicted murderers. Just when I think I’m totally screwed, local alien mountain man Oaken gets down on one knee makes me an offer of marriage I can’t refuse. It’s only temporary, of course. A fake marriage of convenience that we’ll dissolve after the two-week trial period when my ship is fixed. In the meantime, I’ll be Oaken’s relationship coach. When I’m not working on my ship, I devote myself to preparing this earnest alien sweetheart for his future human bride. Except things get messy, fast. Lessons on human kissing become far too heated, and late-night conversations grow searingly intimate. The longer I spend with my big, green, gentle, and generous fake husband, the harder it is to accept that he’ll marry someone else after I’m gone. And the more headway I make on repairing my ship, the less I actually want to leave. Even if Oaken is nothing but supportive of my plan. Even if he never once asks me to stay. But while Oaken looks ahead to his future with another woman, I suddenly find myself wondering if I could give up the life I’ve always loved to stay by his side. Could I trade my freedom for a chance at forever? And how will my pathetic human heart survive if the sort of forever Oaken wants… Doesn’t include me?

It's an attempt to persuade me to allow the bride program to continue. I don't trust him one bit as our rustic road trip gets underway.Especially since his eyes grow white and hungry when he looks at me.Especially since his voice softens to warm smoke when he speaks to me.And especially since he only brought one tent.

A surly alien rider, a mail-order bride meant for someone else, and the family that was never supposed to form… All I want is to fall in love and get married. But my romantic hopes are dashed when I find out my alien groom, Oaken, is too injured to come meet me. The only way I can get to him in the mountains is if somebody else takes me. Enter Garrek. The biggest, grumpiest alien rider on the planet. He doesn’t seem to like me much and he’s got a lot on his plate caring for his convict-ward, a young boy named Killian. But he grudgingly agrees to let me tag along as they travel towards the mountains with their herd. The journey is dangerous and my guide is surly. But the longer I spend with Garrek, the more I uncover the rough tenderness that looms just beneath his hard exterior. He’s ferociously protective of Killian… And of me. But while every night of quiet fireside moments and stolen looks draws me closer to Garrek, every day of travel pushes me closer to the man I’m actually supposed to marry. I have to resist this growing attraction. Because if I don’t… I’ll fall hopelessly in love with the wrong rider. And break everyone’s hearts in the process.

A sweet alien rancher, a wary human woman, and the mail-order marriage that changes everything… I’ve been raised by my wealthy family to be one thing and one thing only: a wife. So when my parent-picked fiancé turns out to be a total creep and my family disowns me for breaking off the engagement, I do the only thing I can. Even if it’s the last thing I want. I get engaged to someone else. That someone else turns out to be an alien rancher named Fallon. He’s everything the people I grew up with aren’t. He’s honest, patient, adorably dopey, and for some unfathomable reason, entirely devoted to me. It’s almost terrifying, how much Fallon loves me. It’s definitely terrifying, the way I want to let him. But when my past collides with my present, I’m forced to choose: Do I retreat to the cold safety of my old world? Or do I stand by the man who’s changing absolutely everything? Even me?
