Book Description
Nicolas Delacroix has always been a magnet for trouble. His life as a vampire has been one of debauchery and luxury. With money to burn, nothing is beyond his reach, and the excessive lifestyle of the affluent vampire playboy is his for the taking. His nights of hitting the town to find a temporary female friend are thrown into chaos when he is placed as co-leader of the Lancaster family dynasty with his younger sister, Martine. Without a true Lancaster ruling the dynasty, it is weaker and susceptible to attack. Lycans openly attack as retribution for their inability to return to their home world, blaming the vampires for their suffering. And if being a leader of a vampire dynasty wasn't enough for Nicolas, he comes across a woman that holds a secret, one that will change his world forever. Rowan didn't want to fall for the charming womaniser; she wanted to hide from the pain that his influence on her life has caused. But some secrets aren't meant to be kept. Distracted by the issues in his life, Nicolas doesn't see the dark figure in the background, hiding in the shadows. Slowly the figure brings their plan for complete domination into fruition, gaining more power with each passing day. The ultimate prize is worth fighting for, and the shadow figure will do whatever it takes to get it, even if it means death. Stopping the shadow figure at every turn, Nicolas does everything he can to protect those that he loves and in doing so, becomes something that he never believed possible.

Book Description
Filled with magic and fierce emotion, Lisa Jensen's multilayered novel will make you question all you think you know about beauty, beastliness, and happily ever after. They say Château Beaumont is cursed. But servant-girl Lucie can’t believe such foolishness about handsome Jean-Loup Christian Henri LeNoir, Chevalier de Beaumont, master of the estate. But when the chevalier's cruelty is revealed, Lucie vows to see him suffer. A wisewoman grants her wish, with a spell that transforms Jean-Loup into monstrous-looking Beast, reflecting the monster he is inside. But Beast is nothing like the chevalier. Jean-Loup would never patiently tend his roses; Jean-Loup would never attempt poetry; Jean-Loup would never express remorse for the wrong done to Lucie. Gradually, Lucie realizes that Beast is an entirely different creature from the handsome chevalier, with a heart more human than Jean-Loup’s ever was. Lucie dares to hope that noble Beast has permanently replaced the cruel Jean-Loup — until an innocent beauty arrives at Beast’s château with the power to break the spell.

Book Description
A reluctant hero must rise or fall to the darkness claiming his home, his soul, and his family in this six-book set. The dark lord is coming, but Sarn's not facing him alone. With his son by his side and an enchanted forest at his back, it'll take all his magic to defend them against monsters and an ancient evil entity that wants to enslave all. Start the epic adventure now! Curse Breaker Books 1-6 features: Curse Breaker Enchanted Sarn wants to be like everyone else, not a mage with a power he can barely control. But he must hide his magic in a country run by people who want to destroy all magic. But that magic comes in handy when he wakes up far from home with only his cloak to protect him from monsters and murderous trees. How will Sarn return home in time and unravel the dark conspiracy that’s destroying it before his son pays the ultimate price? Curse Breaker Darkens When a disembodied voice warns him that a demon is after his mage, Jerlo sets off to find the man who could summon it. He swore an unbreakable oath to protect Sarn, no matter the cost. In a country run by a group that wants to destroy all magic, mages and demons shouldn’t exist. But they do, and Jerlo’s in a fight, not just for his life but for his soul. Even if he risks both, how will he save Sarn without magic? Curse Breaker Faceted Sarn spies on the men responsible for his best friend's death with his young son in tow. And those men are hunting for magic-stealing rocks to fuel a zealot's quest. When their greed leads them into a forbidden cavern, they release an ancient monster, and it's hungry for a certain mage and his son. Who will survive the dark terror lurking under the mountain? Curse Breaker Falls Sarn must face down a legendary evil with only a ragtag bunch of reluctant magical constructs at his side. If he fails, Shayari will fall, and the Adversary will add an unstoppable monster to his ranks. But doubts assail Sarn. He might not be the hero their world needs. In a world where magic is powered by belief, such doubts can have lethal consequences. Will Sarn rise as a hero or fall into darkness, bound to the dark lord he’s fighting? Curse Breaker Sundered Two conflicting promises bind Sarn, even though a monster’s chasing him and an evil entity wants his soul. Sarn must keep both promises or die trying because those promises won’t let him break them, not even to save the son he adores. With the mountain falling down around them and no exit in sight, can Sarn and his son prevail without magic to help them? Curse Breaker Hidden To defeat the ancient monster destroying his home, Sarn must regain the rest of his magic. But unlocking that power won’t be easy with a concussion and an evil entity on the prowl. The dark lord wants his soul, and he'll cheat to get it. But that won’t matter if a priestess destroys their queen and the enchanted forest that protects their home. A country can’t stand without its queen. How will it survive if its last mage falls?
