Publisher's summary
Calamity plans to kill the ruthless King of Monsters.
Held prisoner since birth and used for her ability to give and take life with a single touch, Calamity yearns to see outside the dungeon walls. When the plan to kill her father goes south, a friend helps her flee into a monster-ridden world, and she's thrust into the arms of a rebel thief.
Loric owes a life debt—one he's being blackmailed to repay by getting Calamity out of the kingdom alive. She's the daughter of his mortal enemy, the spawn of the cruel king he despises for murdering his twin sister. Worse yet, he's a criminal in these lands, and getting caught in Solarian territory could cost him and his friends their lives.
Despite being polar opposites and being born into two families that have shed enough blood between them to paint the sea red, some magical force seems to draw them together. Suddenly, there's more at stake than losing their lives, but their hearts too.
Inspired by Robin Hood and Rapunzel, This Wicked Bond puts a refreshing, unique spin on beloved tropes such as the villain gets the girl, only one bed, enemies to lovers, and fated mates. It's told in first-person, present tense from both Loric and Calamity's perspective.
This new adult romantasy, featuring a morally gray dragon shifter and a strong female heroine, is perfect for fans of the ACOTAR series, Carissa Broadbent, Clare Sager, KF Breene, LJ Andrews, and those who love steamy fairy tale retellings. If you have a soft spot for broody, winged bad boys with wicked smirks, get ready for this slow-burn fantasy romance!

Story
I'm the Princess of Solaria, a realm full of beasts that could make the Devil cower. That title means nothing because I'll be dead by the week's end. Like my sisters before me, the moment I turned twenty-three, my father announced a gauntlet. A fight to the death, where the most ruthless of the land could try to claim me as their bride. Desperate, I entered the gauntlet and fought for my own hand. But the mad king is a twisted monster who loves to play tricks, and now, instead of wearing a crown, I'm a prisoner, set to be executed for defying the king's tradition.

Story
Sitting on my throne, I reign over the underworld with a fist of iron. The darkness runs deep within me as I revel in the violence of depravity, for I am King of all I rule, and this is hell. Times are changing. Enemies old and new are challenging us. If Naturals and Humans want to survive, they must combine their forces. It didn't work before, so why do they think it will this time? Will all be lost? You brought yourself into my line of sight. You willingly walked into my domain. She thought she knew what she was walking into. She has no clue. She is a temptation I can not deny.

Story
There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I'm about to break every single one. Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie. When I'm chased across the wicked border and caught by its reclusive ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal. Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae. But I don't have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of sinister paths, deceptive stairways, and devious creatures. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment. Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy. I should have known my sexy captor wouldn't play fair.

Story
I have a plan, one chance to get out of this nightmare once and for all. One month is all I need, one month to stay off King's radar and get the last few items needed for the spell I’ve been working on. Shouldn’t be that hard, right? But turns out King has his own plan, one that involves trading me off to the five shifters of Manhattan. With King's ultimatum, I have no choice but to go through with it. But I’m still getting out of here, no matter what. Or so I thought. Turns out the five shifters are my mates…and also the boys I left behind six years ago.

Story
Being the sole survivor of the Van Helsing family was never a burden I wanted to carry. Yet here I am, an orphan with a score to settle against Dracula for orchestrating the near genocide of my bloodline. One small kink in that plan: I was turned into the blood-sucking creature I was born to destroy. Being admitted into the Dark Imaginarium Academy to hone my new skills as a vampire and to survive the blood lust is the first step towards achieving my revenge. No one is prepared for me to infiltrate their ranks, but I know they aren't going to let me get my revenge without a fight.

As the warmer days of summer gave way to the shortened, crisp days of fall, my life changed in the most unexpected of ways. I met two men and was not prepared for either of them. Theo was warm, generous, and easygoing; whereas, Wyatt was intense, serious, and protective. They share a past that neither one are honest about. Whatever happened all those years ago has created an undeniable rift between them. Augmenting the charged and confounding emotions of new love, our city has been terrorized by a serial killer, and I can feel someone watching me.

Nothing exciting happens at Peterson Cremation Services–exactly how Gideon prefers it. All his life, he has seen things–scary and bizarre visions that weren’t really there. Working the night shift at the crematorium and days at Sheryl's Shell Shack lets him keep his head down and ignore the strange world around him. The last time Gideon reacted to one of his hallucinations, he ended up in a psychiatric hold. He can’t let anything like that happen again–it would break his mother’s heart.

My mom instilled all the right values in me. I'm hard-working, loyal, and kind. I'm inexperienced at twenty-three years old… Until I walk into three separate lecture halls, and three different professors catch my eye. Derek teaches modern literature and is under investigation by the board… But all I can think about is his chiseled, clean-shaven jaw and how his inner calmness must make him very passionate behind closed doors. Samuel is the bad boy in my trio, a professor of ethics and morals… He's also the one who noticed me right away, kickstarting his gentle obsession with my well-being.

What happens when a Daddy's girl grows up to be crowned the first female underboss of the mafia? What an excellent question. Thank you so much for asking. No, seriously, I've been waiting twenty years to be able to answer this. Trust me, being hidden away in another country with a nanny, a groundskeeper, his son (my ex-best friend), and the wicked witch of the west—a.k.a. my stepmother. I'm dying to spill the tea.

Chen traveled to the US with his clan, hoping to rescue his kidnapped brother from the fae. They just need a witch to find the exact location of where the door between the human world and the fae world will open—the one thing Moon can't do. Chen grabbed the wrong type of witch. That's not stopping Moon from clinging to Chen as he guides them through new territory, introducing them to the witches, shifters, and vampires who can help them. The longer Moon remains at Chen's side, the more he hopes the witch might consider staying with him always.
