Clara Wardlaw’s life looks perfect from the outside, a high-flying corporate career, a polished fiancé, a future planned down to the colour of the kitchen tiles. But perfection cracks easily. When a vicious argument pushes her past her breaking point, Clara flees to the Scottish Highlands to sort through the crumbling manor she unexpectedly inherited… and to finally admit she’s not sure she wants the life she’s been living. The December House is cold, lonely, and unsettlingly alive. Footsteps echo where no one walks. Lights flicker warm only when she cries. And every night, the fire seems to light itself. When Finlay Calder arrives, a rugged, quiet man dragging a Christmas tree across her property like he belongs there. He claims her great-uncle hired him every winter to work the land. The townspeople swear by it, Finn always arrives on December 1st, always leaves on New Year’s Day, and always returns the following year. But Clara has never heard of him, and her uncle never mentioned him. He helps her without being asked, he watches her like he’s memorising her. He knows tiny details about the manor she didn’t even know herself. Clara should send him away. She should go back to her polished fiancé in London and pretend none of this means anything. But as the snow thickens and December deepens, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she can’t explain. Finn is the first person who makes her laugh in months, the first who listens, the first who sees her. But Glenhaven has its own secrets, and so does Finn. And when the truth finally breaks through the winter quiet, Clara will have to choose between the life she ran from… and the impossible warmth she’s found in a man who feels like a memory she never lived. Because some people are tied to certain places, some houses hold more than history. And some loves only reveal themselves in December.

A disgraced healer. A haunted Alpha. A marriage born of desperation. When Ayla Morvain’s rebellion fails, she’s left with nothing—no pack, no home, and no hope.

He calls it fate. With Stormwatch’s future hanging by a thread and pressure mounting from the Bastion Alliance, Damien offers Ayla a bargain: a marriage in name only. One heir. No affection. No bond. Survive the storms. Play the part. Keep her heart out of it. But Stormwatch is colder than it seems, and something in the keep watches her far too closely. As lines blur and loyalties shift, Ayla begins to wonder what really killed the Alpha’s brides— and whether she’ll survive long enough to find out. He made her his to save her. Now he’ll burn the world to keep her alive.

Book Two of the Aruyios Trilogy After betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, nineteen-year-old Lila Alden is out of options. Fleeing the human world with the werewolf prince who abandoned her once before, she finds herself in Aruyios—a realm of ancient power, rigid tradition, and sharp-toothed politics. But her arrival is not celebrated. She is not welcomed. She is watched. A human among wolves. A girl with no title. A mate no one asked for. Stripped of agency and silenced by protocol, Lila is expected to play the role of future princess: be seen, not heard. Smile. Dress up. Stay obedient. But the wild thing in her chest refuses to be tamed. As her connection to Aruyios deepens, something begins to stir—strange visions, flashes of magic, whispers from the moonlight itself. The more they try to suppress her, the more power she seems to awaken. Tobi, heir to the throne, is no longer the reckless boy Lila once knew. Bound by duty and drowning in expectation, he fights to keep her safe while battling ghosts of his own—some born of guilt, others tied to the kingdom’s crumbling future. As old wounds resurface and dangerous truths are revealed, the two must find a way back to each other or risk losing everything to the very forces that drove them apart. But Aruyios is on the brink. Political tensions simmer beneath gilded halls. Secret alliances shift in the shadows. And when an ancient law is invoked—one that could demand Lila’s blood—the line between survival and surrender becomes razor-thin. In a land where power means protection, and tradition is wielded like a weapon, Lila must decide: will she follow the path laid out for her, or claim one of her own? A story of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the fight to be seen—The Prince and His Princess is a thrilling continuation of the Aruyios Trilogy that asks: What if the girl no one wanted became the woman who could change everything?

“Mine.” His voice was low, rough, and right against her throat. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited to claim you.” Lila Alden didn’t plan on kissing her dad’s assistant the night she blacked out at a party. She definitely didn’t plan on dreaming about him afterward—shirtless, possessive, calling her his. But the moment she lands in Lenweil for her gap year abroad, everything changes. The town is old. Mysterious. And Tobi keeps showing up like he’s been waiting for her. He has. Tobi isn’t who he pretends to be. Prince. Predator. Protector. He was given one year to find his fated mate before being forced into an arranged royal union. He thought his time had run out—until he met Lila. Until the dreams started. Until she kissed him like she belonged to him. Now he’s breaking every rule to stay close. As reality and dreams begin to blur, Lila is drawn into a world of hidden power, ancient bloodlines, and supernatural politics she never asked for. All she knows is that when Tobi touches her, her whole world tilts. And when he’s gone… it hurts to breathe. He’s dangerous. She’s human. And the bond between them is forbidden. But some instincts can’t be denied. And Tobi will burn kingdoms to keep her.
