An untouchable duke. A defiant bride. A marriage born of revenge.

Preston Seaton, Duke of Grandhampton, will destroy the man who killed his brother. When his enemy auctions his daughter’s hand to settle his debts, Preston buys her—and his vengeance.

But Lady Penelope was his brother’s great love. She’s forbidden. Untouchable.

No matter how desperately he wants her.

Penelope’s dreams of becoming an artist die the moment her father sells her to the cold duke who despises her. Preston believes she’s a fortune hunter, a manipulator who toys with men’s hearts. Yet beneath his cruelty, she glimpses something else: longing. Desire. A wounded soul crying out for healing.

Every touch ignites forbidden passion. Every kiss deepens the betrayal.

Because he’s hiding the truth about her father. About his brother’s death. About why he can never let her go.

When the secret comes to light, will their marriage of vengeance become a love worth fighting for?

Fans of Crescent City and Scarlett St. Clair will be swept into a world of ruthless fae, forbidden romance, and treacherous bargains in this spellbinding fantasy romance.

One fae prince. One deadly bargain. And a mortal caught between desire and damnation.

Cate thought she knew darkness. As a trauma nurse, she had witnessed the worst of humanity. But nothing—not the blood, the violence, or the despair—could have prepared her for the fae underworld. A realm where beauty is a weapon, desire is a trap, and mortals who stray too far don’t return.

She almost didn’t.

Until Lachlan Gage—shadowed, ruthless, and feared even among his own kind—bound her to him with a deadly bargain. As the prince of New Orleans and ruler of the Nether Court, he is as much a curse as he is salvation. And with the Wild Hunt at his heels and war stirring between the fae courts, even his protection may not be enough to save her.

Because Cate is more than just his reluctant mortal. She is wanted. Coveted. And the prince of the Hallow Court will do anything to claim her.

But something ancient is rising in the dark, warping fae magic into something unnatural and cruel. It has nothing to do with Cate’s past—or so she tells herself. Even though the ring left behind by her mother whispers otherwise.

There is only one thing more dangerous than the fae who would kill for her.

The fae who would die for her.

And Lachlan Gage has never been one to lose.

Filthy Rich Fae: Fallen Court (Filthy Rich Fae, 2) by Geneva Lee – $1.99 for a limited time.

A lush romantic fantasy for fans of Outlander and Rebecca Ross. In Scottish-inspired Alba Scoria, mortal queens wielded elemental magic until immortal conquerors from the Otherworld beyond the Veil seized the throne and replaced the ancient magic with their own. Now the enchanted land is rising—and choosing a woman as its champion.

Flora Domhnall is a healer and a leader fighting to keep her clan neutral in the midst of a war over a stolen throne. She also hides a secret ember of magic the invaders never entirely destroyed. When she finds a wounded immortal warrior in her woods, she faces an impossible decision. If she uses her magic to help him, her clan could hang as traitors. If she lets him die, his king would enact revenge. Her kindness binds her fate to his.

Chyr is a weapon in a war he did not choose. Magical oaths carved into his skin control his deeds and thoughts. He’d give anything to refuse Flora’s help, but the war his oaths force him to fight is lost unless he can reach the last doorway through the Veil before it closes. He stands no chance unless Flora can guide him across the burning Highlands.

Pursued by Chyr’s enemies, Flora and Chyr must learn to trust each other. Then trust deepens into yearning. Every mile they share a saddle, every sacrifice made in silence, and every moment they guard each other pulls them closer to a love neither can afford—because magic is rising in Flora, taking a mysterious form neither she nor Chyr can fathom or control.

Marked for a crown no mortal has worn in four centuries of conquest, Flora must survive a test that ends in death or queenship. And if she passes, she becomes the enemy that Chyr is sworn to kill.

The Crown of Moonlight combines the haunting historical Jacobite romance of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander, the Celtic mythology and soul-deep yearning of Rebecca Ross, and the rich folklore of Katherine Arden’s Winternight Trilogy. It is the first book in The Five Crowns, a sweeping new series from award-winning author Martina Boone about power, hope, ancient crowns, impossible oaths, and a love that must survive betrayal, war, and the gods themselves.
