Keeping a Nymph's Heart

by R.S. Rochelle

Tropes: forcedproximity, forbiddenlove, magic

Nymph. Hero. Murderer. Orla didn’t want to be anyone’s hero; she wanted to be left alone. For years, Orla created a life away from the elven army, where she could avoid her past sins. Prestige, fighting, friendships. She left it all behind when disaster struck because she couldn’t control her magic. But when her king sends for her, she’s forced to face the ghosts of her failures. Now a lord from a rival kingdom has arrived, shaking the foundation of what she thought she knew about herself. Orla must choose if loving him is worth facing her past or if she should run from it. Again. Bastard. Lord. Traitor. Owain has only ever wanted one thing: the respect of his people. But elves don’t respect bastards, even if they’re the son of a king. Now Owain has the chance to prove that he’s more than just an illegitimate son. His plan was working; until Orla, the nymph who brought ruin to his battalion and killed the heir to his kingdom. She was everything he had ever wanted and the one person he could never have. [Read More]

Assassins of Shadows and Steel

by B. A. Milsop

Tropes: slowburn, forcedproximity, forbiddenlove

Bexley and Rosalie were never meant to kneel—they were forged to kill. Once prisoners. Now assassins. The two women have carved their freedom from the throats of the men who tried to own them. Ruthless, feared, and bound by bloodshed, they survive by trusting no one but steel and each other. They are given an impossible mission: steal two ancient relics from the Dark Fae Kingdom before the Dark Lord claims one and unleashes hell upon the realm. But in the lands of the Dark Fae, nothing comes without a price. Every bargain tastes of temptation. Every shadow hides a blade. And the deeper Bexley is pulled into the deadly court of monsters and magic, the more she begins to unravel a prophecy tied to her blood—a prophecy that names her as either the realm’s salvation… or its ruin. As loyalties fracture and desire turns lethal, Bexley must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Because some flames are meant to consume worlds. And others were born to burn within them.
