I have one job in this arranged marriage, and that’sto seduce my husband.
It should be easy; I’m the heiress to a transatlantic fortune, bred and raised to make a good match. I’ve spent a lifetime building up my endurance, my discipline, my dedication to my god and my church. The danger lies in falling for the devil who put his ring on my finger—a mistake I made years ago, and can’t afford to make again.
There is one more danger: handsome and green-eyed, emotionally wounded. Tristan Thomas, former soldier and my new husband’s bodyguard. A hero who stole my heart with salt-soaked kisses on the sea.
But Lyonesse is not like other places, and this isn’t like other marriages. Soon Tristan, Mark, and I are tangled in a knot of vicious jealousy and gorgeous wickedness, where suspicion is an aphrodisiac and secrets and vows are one and the same.
And there is something far darker at play than my real purpose, than the machinations of the Church I serve. Darker even than the twisted longings of my own heart. Because my husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he’ll stop at nothing to possess me could slice my soul deeper than the honeysuckle-hilted knife he gave me once upon a time.
Because when it comes to Mark Trevena and his games, the first cut is more than the deepest—it’s the sweetest.
And he always leaves you begging for more…
Honey Cut is the second book in the Lyonesse Trilogy.

A confident, plus size CEO running a billion dollar company and the country’s best professional quarterback… it sounds like the ultimate power couple, if it wasn’t all pretend.
Fake dating was not in the plan this year. Especially since I hardly have time for actual dating.
That is until Ford Madigan makes me an offer I can’t refuse: a fake relationship that will benefit us both. He’ll get away from the team owner’s entitled daughter while I score some points with members of the company’s board who love him more than they hate me.
It all seems like a simple business transaction–make a few public appearances and pretend we’re in love until we both get what we want.
The problem is… I find out he’s more than just another jock. He’s a humanitarian using his fortune to help kids all over Texas. Not to mention, he isn’t intimidated by my success like most men.
Now I want more from him. I want something real.
But scars from his past keep him from risking his heart a second time.
I haven’t gotten where I am in life from settling, but I’m also not the kind of woman who will wait around for a man to realize what’s right in front of him.
Will he make this relationship more? Or will I be the one who got away?

Black Claw Dragons is the bundled collection of Roxie Ray’s Six possessive Dragons and their stories as each of them finds their fated mate and does anything to keep her safe. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but for the best reading experience, the author suggests you read them in order.
Her Dragon Daddy
Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried…
I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper…but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. But he’s hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.
Her Dragon Protector
Can I really trust a dragon with my heart?
When I show up in Black Claw with bruises on my face and a split lip, I’m not looking for another man – I’ve made enough bad choices in that department. I’m ready to lie low with my best friend and pray to god that my ex doesn’t come to find me. But Axel isn’t like any of the guys I’ve been drawn to before, and when I find out his secret, I’m not sure I can stand the heat. If my human ex was terrible, could a dragon be any better? But when danger comes knocking, I know Axel’s the one I need to protect me.
Her Dragon Lover
He shot me down…why can’t I forget about him?
I gathered my nerve to approach Stefan, only for him to reject me. Months later, I still can’t stop thinking about him, and fate keeps throwing us together. He’s protected me, fixed my car, and his heated looks make my heart race. Yet, Stefan won’t make a move—until a stranger arrives, digging into my past. Now, Stefan is determined to protect me, and I’m not complaining about the kisses. But when a family secret shakes me, I learn Stefan has a fire breathing secret of his own. Can I truly be the mate of a dragon?
Her Dragon Hero
He hates me … how can he be my fated mate?
I know I screwed up and should stay away from those I hurt, but I can’t stop thinking about Jury. Despite hearing him say he hates me, I can’t keep away when he finds me again. He’s only interested because his inner dragon refuses to shift, not because he wants me. And with his reputation, I doubt one woman could satisfy him. But Jury is determined to win me over, showing he’s ready to leave his party days behind and claim me as his mate. As danger looms, Jury promises to protect me. But am I ready to be the mate of a dragon?
Her Dragon Destiny
No guy is worth risking my heart until Maddox gets close …

However, the Black Claw dragons offer little privacy, and Maddox is considering finishing his law degree out of state. When we meet, he realizes I’m his fated mate and wants to make me his. But I don’t know about dragons, and Madd worries if I’ll accept both parts of him. Can he convince me that his heart beats only for me?
Her Dragon Rebel
Is he more than a spoiled playboy?
I’m the only female handyman in town, and I need people to take me seriously for my business to thrive. But the town’s men won’t listen. Enter Rico—a troublemaker who needs a job. He’s my only option, and there’s no way I’m falling for him.
Kara is my only hope for getting a job and keeping everything together. She’s also my fated mate, and my inner dragon is roaring to claim her. I need to prove she’s mine, but will she still want me when she learns what I really am?

Something wicked is moving in the shadows of London…
In the underground world of glitzy illegal auctions, fast cars, and stolen magical artifacts, John “Dom” Domenici knows he’s out of his depth. But he needs the job at Kempthorne & Co like he needs to breathe. The alternative—going back to the organized crime gangs of London’s East End—is unthinkable.
So when Alexander Kempthorne, boss of Kempthorne & Co Artifact Retrieval Agency, wants him on a special case to track down an illegal artifact dealer, Dom can’t say no.
It shouldn’t matter that Kempthorne’s world is full of deadly secrets. It shouldn’t matter that the billionaire is sexy as sin, and it really shouldn’t matter how there’s an American agent stalking Dom, an American who knows more than he should about Dom’s case, including the real reason Alexander Kempthorne hired Dom.
The only thing that really matters to Dom is solving the case and finding the artifact dealer. Because there are worse things in London than a conflicted billionaire and a trigger-happy American. Something wicked is stalking London’s streets, and if Dom doesn’t stop it, its shadows will rise and consume them all.
