Hibiki: This case could make or break my career. I'm pretty sure my captain gave me the Kitsune case just to see me fail. No one has been able to catch her, and now I'm expected to.

My sister poisoned me. All because her mate was a pale shadow next to mine. Now, I'm back where it all began. The Mating Ceremony, five years ago. In my last life, Sarah and I chose our mates at the Pack Alliance gala. She chose the most powerful Alpha, the future Alliance leader, Damon. But she could never bear him a pup. Damon despised her. He abused her. He even went feral during his curse and nearly killed her. She shoved me toward Liam, the Alpha of a failing pack. She never guessed Liam’s power would explode, that he’d one day tear the title of High Alpha from Damon’s grasp. Then, on the day of Liam's coronation, Sarah poisoned me out of jealousy. I opened my eyes again. We were back at the mate selection ceremony. Sarah announced to everyone she was choosing Liam, and I was shoved toward her ex-mate, Damon. But I suddenly heard her inner scream: [Die, Elena. Just die! You and that rabid wolf Damon can go to hell together. Liam will still be High Alpha, and I will be the ultimate Luna!] But I just smirked as I stumbled into Damon’s arms. Sarah had no idea. The “perfect mate” she’d chosen was already plotting to consume her very soul.

For centuries, the four Elven kingdoms of Greenborne, Windrider, Frostborne and Mirefolk have been bound together by King Arion’s Decree, a political pact enforcing marriages between realms to preserve peace. As the four Greenborne princesses come of age, each is sent toward a future decided long before she was born. None of them are prepared for how deeply desire will disrupt duty. Loren, the eldest, is betrothed to the Prince of Windrider. Fierce and determined, she clashes with his cousin, the proud Duke Alix, a man whose presence challenges her control. What begins as hostility unravels into something far more dangerous. In a true enemies to lovers romance, Loren is forced to choose between duty and the pull of her own heart. Sybille, the second princess, is sent north to Frostborne already in love with a man she cannot have. In the icy court of a powerful king, she becomes a queen but remains anchored to her past, unable to give up her childhood lover, her adopted brother. Her story becomes one of betrayal, sacrifice and the devastation of choices made for duty rather than desire. Rowan, the most practical of the sisters, approaches marriage with logic rather than passion. But when she is drawn into a love triangle involving a charming nobleman and a loyal companion she is forced to reconsider everything she believes about love, stability and trust. Mariselle, the youngest, enters Mirefolk through scandal and a forced marriage. Headstrong and untamed, she clashes with her new husband in a union defined by conflict and reluctant attraction, threatening to consume them both as they try to outwit and outmanoeuvre each other. All four sisters discover the Marriage Decree was never just about duty, but about the cost of desire itself and the price to be paid. ROMANTASY

PSA: This book has high smut intensity, intoxicating chemistry and compelling family and sibling rivalry. Aanoni Adukolapo was raised to lead. He is disciplined, charismatic, egoistic, and heir to a fortune. At twenty-eight, he has carved his name into a perfume empire, a revolt against his father’s tight reins. But power has never unsettled him the way Ere does. Ereadurami is thirty-five: elegant and dangerously alluring. The kind of woman who should be sacred, a taboo, and off-limits in Yoruba culture. Her boutique displays her clothing artistry, work of a master. She is sweet, refined, but behind that subtle demeanor lies a hungry succubus. What begins as a random suggestion inside her boutique soon spirals into a hunger neither of them can resist. Every glance, every stare, every breath is calculated, meant not to seem weak. She is older, forbidden, and everything his father would use to destroy him. But the closer Aanoni gets to Ere, the harder it becomes to care about consequences. Desire is intoxicating, hypnotic and surrendering to her might be the most reckless, irresistible rebellion of all. Ere’s Scent is a sensual and erotic tale of age-gap temptation, power, and passion where legacy clashes with lust, where rebellion clashes with passion , and one forbidden woman could bring an empire to its knees.
