Iโm Azura, an omega and a sea princess, a mermaid with power over the Song of the sea and the elements.
I am also alone. Not lonely, because I decided long ago that I donโt need anyone. Iโm perfectly happy on my ownโฆ I think.
Then I spot a black ship on the surface and my curiosity gets me caught in a net woven with iron that disrupts my magic and delivers me right into the hands of a bunch of piratesโฆ in particular Captain Caspian and his two trusted and close mates, Jax and Archer.
They need me to locate and retrieve a treasure, it seems, and donโt care whether I suffer for it. It doesnโt help that my body appears inordinately interested in them, their handsome faces and ripped bodies.
Now is not the time, body. Not the time to want them, and certainly not the time to go into heat, okay?
Mermaids donโt tend to spend their heat with human alphas. Or humans, period. Humans are odd and have strangeโฆ equipment, compared to mermen.
I need to bargain my way out of the tank theyโve put me in and never look back โ so please explain why, when I convince them to do soโฆ I find myself swimming right back to them?
This is a standalone omegaverse why choose MMFM romantasy with a mermaid FMC and three hunky pirates MMCs. Enemies to lovers, they fall first, touch-starved FMC, boyfriends who are already boyfriends, too.
I donโt get involved with clients. I keep them safe, stay focused, and when the job is over, I walk away.
Addison Blake makes that rule impossible to follow. The rodeo queen has been receiving threats she insists are nothing to worry about. But when someone gets close enough to track her every move, protecting her becomes my only priority.
I shouldnโt get possessive over clients. And I refuse to be distracted by green eyes and dusty boots and a woman who smiles like sheโd rather bleed than admit sheโs scared.
The longer I stay by Addisonโs side, the harder it gets to separate the job from the woman underneath the crown. Sheโs stubborn, brave, and determined to keep living her life no matter whoโs trying to scare her.
Iโve already failed to protect someone I loved once. I wonโt fail her. And whoever thinks they can get to Addison will have to go through me first.
The Cowboys of Mustang Mountain carry regrets, rivalries, and reputations theyโve never quite outrun. Theyโre the men who fix fence lines by day, fight their demons by night, and swear they donโt need anyone. Their pasts are messy. Their scars are real. And their hearts are locked down tight.
Until the right woman walks into their path and shakes the dust off their hardened hearts. Women who arenโt afraid to push back, dig deep, and call these cowboys out on every wall they try to hide behind.
On Mustang Mountain, even the roughest cowboy can find a future, but only if heโs brave enough to love the woman who wonโt let him walk away.
Addison is a rodeo queen who has been taught to smile and not to show how she really feels and that includes the fear she is hiding because of the threats she has been receiving. When Braxton is hired to provide security she will agree however she isnโt about to let him deter her from appearing in her scheduled events.
Braxton is a man with a tumultuous past who has made it his mission to protect others so they will never have to feel the pain that he did. He is more concerned about the danger that Addison is in then she is but he also sees everything she wants to hide and he is determined to protect her from everything and that includes herself.
Even though Addison and Braxton start out on different sides the escalating danger brings them closer and there is nothing Braxton wonโt do to keep her safe and help her uncover the secrets of the past.
Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while Iโm working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and thereโs more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple arenโt so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).
Lane Foster was supposed to be a potential clientโnothing more than the quiet, sinfully attractive co-owner of a Montana distillery. An account big enough to put my brand-new marketing company on Denverโs radar. A simple meeting for a make-or-break pitch.
Instead, it was one night. One explosive kiss. One promise to see him again.
Then I ghosted him.
So imagine my surprise when I return home for my fatherโs funeral and learn Dadโs final wish: I will inherit my childhood home. But only if I marry Lane Foster first.
Fine. Iโll marry the man. One month. One simple house sale. One emotionless divorce.
Except then he fixes up my fatherโs old truck without being asked. He makes space for me to workโand for my rapidly growing flock of chickens. He talks to me, touches me, makes me feel things way too much.
To make it worse, the tiny, judgmental town I ran from is welcoming me home.
Iโm starting to wonder if my husband really wants a divorce. Or if I do either. What began as a whiskey proposal feels way too neat. But in my experience, that means itโs time to settle up because everythingโs about to go sour.
๐Review๐ Emersonโs memories of her hometown are filled with pain, and she was grateful when her brother was able to get her away when she was a teenager. She had no intention of returning until it is required due to her estranged fatherโs estate. When she learns about the contents of the will she is not happy to find out that for her to inherit her fatherโs house and ensure that her brother and her niece get it she will have to marry Lane.
Lane was the neighbor of Emersonโs father and was there for him when he struggled. He met Emerson a month earlier when their careers brought them together and he was immediately drawn to her. Finding out that for Emerson to inherit includes marrying him doesnโt deter him but instead he is going to use this time to convince her that what share isnโt temporary but meant to last a lifetime.
Everything that Lane does and says is to convince Emerson that she can count on him to be there for her and although it was challenging to see him break through the walls that Emerson had built around her hearts only made their romance and the outcome that much better.
My mom thinks Iโm spoiled. So what does she do? She ships me out to a farm in the middle of nowhere.
Itโs supposed to teach me some sort of lesson.
It wonโt.
The only thing thatโll come from this will be the small town of Kensley meeting its match.
And not just Kensley.
Him.
Jasper thinks he can best me? Well, he has another thing coming. I may look like a spoiled city boy on the outside, but Iโll be the fiercest competition this country boy has ever seen.
Jasper
Heโs a spoiled brat. Who does this guy think he is, showing up in my hometown and challenging me in every possible way?
He has no idea who heโs messing with.
None.
I may be a little turned around right now, having lost my girlfriend, but Iโll get her back. And everything in my world will be right again.
Including him.
Iโll send him packing before he knows whatโs happened. This city boy doesnโt stand a chance.
SHADOW OF SIN Kristen Luciani Release Date: August 13
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
A standalone dark mafia romance where a wrongly convicted hacker heroine meets her match โ an obsessed, neurodivergent tech genius who’s been watching her for two years.
I went to prison for a crime I didn’t commit.
Fourteen months behind bars because I trusted the wrong man. When I got out, I swore I’d never make that mistake again.
Then a Russian gangster turned my brother Sal into leverage and gave me a choice: hack for him, or watch Sal pay the price.
So I became a ghost. The best in the city. Untraceable. Untouchable. Invisible.
Until I broke into the wrong network and discovered someone had already been inside mine.
His name is Wolfe Molloy. He’s the tech genius behind Boston’s most powerful Irish crime family. He’s quiet, intense, and brutally intelligent. He doesn’t do small talk. He doesn’t do charm. He eats cereal for dinner and forgets to sleep and his brain never, ever shuts off.
Except when he’s near me.
There’s just one problem.
He’s been watching me for two years. He knows my real name, my aliases, my conviction, and every move I’ve made since I walked out of that prison. He says he wants to protect me and my brother. He says he needs my skills to take down the man who controls my life.
What he’s not saying is what scares me.
Because Wolfe Molloy is hiding something. A secret about my past that could set me free or shatter every reason I have to trust him.
The closer I get, the harder he is to resist. He touches me like I’m something precious. He stands between me and every threat like his body is a wall he built just for me. He looks at me like I’m the only thing in this world his mind can’t take apart and put back together.
And when the truth comes out โ when I find out what he’s been keeping from me โ I’ll have to decide if the man who buried my freedom is the same man who’d bleed to protect it.
Because in this world, love isn’t just dangerous.
It’s the one thing neither of us knows how to survive.
