Vows & Vengeance by Kelsie Calloway (The Ivanov Bratva Series)
Her father’s debt seals her fate, forcing her into a marriage with Nikolai Ivanov, the ruthless leader of the Bratva. She walks down the aisle expecting fear, control, and a life without choice. Nikolai expects obedience from his new wife, nothing more. Instead, he finds defiance, fire, and a woman who refuses to bow to him. What should have been a cold arrangement quickly becomes a dangerous clash of wills.
As tension turns into something more intense, every look and touch deepens the pull between them. She begins to see the man beneath the monster’s reputation, while Nikolai discovers a passion he never expected to feel. In Vows and Vengeance by Kelsie Calloway, power, desire, and loyalty collide, forcing both to confront whether love can grow from a bond forged in debt and danger.
First Assignment by Elizabeth Whitmore (The Guardian Files Series)
Morgan Monroe expects another forgettable assignment from GUARDIAN, the secret magical agency that keeps her at arm’s length. Instead, First Assignment by Elizabeth Whitmore plunges her into a West Texas mystery marked by drained bodies, a dead horse, and a strange vibration beneath the earth. As leylines fracture and restless spirits rise, Morgan uncovers a buried conspiracy tied to her own ancestors. After accidentally breaking an ancient seal, she joins forces with a reclusive leyline witch to contain the fallout. To save magic itself, Morgan must defy the agency and answer a far older, more dangerous call.
Ghosts of the Revolution by Janna Ruth (Parisian Ghosts Series)
Paris has fallen to Napoleon and his army of bone and shadow, the Panthéon seized and its great thinkers scattered. Sébastien and Gaspar are imprisoned, and hope seems lost in Ghosts of the Revolution by Janna Ruth. Yet surrender is not an option. Determined to reclaim her city, the heroine vows to unite the restless spirits of Paris, rescue those she loves, and risk an uneasy alliance with former enemies. As prophecy closes in, she prepares to command the dead themselves. This time, the uprising is not for power or revenge, but for Paris and its freedom.
