Invisible

by Sonja J. Kaye

Tropes: slowburn, firstperson, magic

Life’s a mess for seventeen-year-old Olivia: she lost her mother, is sent to live with a foster family in England, and now her heartbreak unlocks a dormant Talent, a supernatural ability no one else in the world has. Turns out, that little sleepwalking problem she’s had all her life is a fickle teleportation skill that promptly ejects her into the Alaskan wilderness. Thanks a lot. Much to the dismay of her feminist pride, a grouchy bear puts her in dire need of saving—by a guy. Brilliant. Nineteen-year-old Jo has secrets he can’t ever share. If he does, he’s dead. Keeping hidden is the only way to free himself from the person forcing him to live in the woods. His rules for survival: stay invisible, stay focused, and for the love of life, do not talk to anyone. Easier said than done when this beautiful, sad girl keeps bouncing back to Alaska, cracking his locked heart wide open. Drawn deeper into Jo’s secretive spell and the inexplicable bond they share, Olivia investigates why her Talent keeps dragging her back to him, only to suspect he might be connected to the mystery surrounding her missing father who disappeared before she was born. When Jo, desperate to escape the life he’s trapped in to be with the soulmate he never thought he’d find, confronts the person behind his deadly secrets, he’s faced with a Talented mastermind whose blood runs in his veins. Now Olivia must save the boy in the wild from a killer, even when they turn their eyes on her. In this wildly romantic YA/crossover cozy fantasy, emotions and mystery weave into an unforgettable tale of love and loss, secrets and suspense, and intrigue and magic. Ideal for fans of deep yearning, atmospheric nature settings, and heart-shattering romance. [Read More]

The bond between us could burn down two kingdoms. I am the Alpha's heir, left to drown as a pup, raised by a foreign king whose throne was never mine. I returned to bury my past, not to claim a mate. But Portia stood in that garden like something holy wrapped in sin, and my wolf knew before I did. Mine. The hybrid dragon princess with fire in her veins. I had to bind her to me before she could flee. Then her Kingdom, Dragonia, ripped her away. I marched my army across the border and made them kneel. She carried my future, with a dragon egg, and our unborn child vanished like a promise dipped in poison. Now her belly swells again. Dragonia sharpens its knives. Old enemies circle closer. I have won a throne and lost a child. But losing Portia would destroy me in ways no war ever could. [Read More]

Separated from the Blackwood Pack, and from Kaelen, the Alpha who swore to protect her but kept her in a gilded cage, Lucia is stranded on the edge of the human world. Her only protector is Ragnar. The pack’s Enforcer is brutal, possessive, and dangerously intoxicating—and he has no intention of coddling a fragile human. He wants to teach her how to bite back.

The dead come to her. He chose to stay. Amadella Vaelora is the warning mothers whisper. The last daughter of House Tanzanite lives alone in the haunted forest of Nytherra, breaking curses, tending spirits, and carrying the blame for a betrayal three centuries old. The crown calls her bloodline a curse. The dead know better — and lately, the dead arrive wounded, whispering that the darkness pressing her wards has learned to aim. Commander Theron Valseic gave the crown his sword, his silence, and his whole ordered life. His reward is an assassin's curse buried beneath his ribs with surgical cruelty — and a slow death designed so that no one would ever know what killed him. Then he falls through her ward. Saving him should be simple. It isn't. The curse in his blood carries a court seal, the healing bond that can draw it out demands a choice from both of them — and the bond hides nothing. Not his loyalty to the crown that erased her family. Not her loneliness. Not the truth buried in the archives of Silverden Crossing that could either restore her house or finish what the purge began. Trust is how ruin begins. Every old lie says so. But if Amadella's truth stays buried, the Shroud takes more than her forest — and if Theron keeps his vows to the crown, he loses the only thing he has ever freely chosen. The House of Tanzanite is a high-heat adult fantasy romance featuring a wounded commander and a forbidden healer, forced proximity, a consent-gated magical bond, slow-burn devotion, spirit magic, political betrayal, found family, and a complete happily-ever-after. Content notes are included inside the book. [Read More]
