Five Immortal Hearts: Harem of Flames


Savannah Rose - 2018
    A right to be bestowed upon them by a mere mortal. Misty didn’t see them coming; they entered her world without foreword or warning, shattering her glass cage of boundaries, forcing her to open her mind to parts of a world that should not exist. Five sets of blue eyes watched her closely. “We need you to make a choice, between the five of us, for the coming age,” they said, and they were serious. This was serious. Failure to choose would lead to Armageddon, a scorched earth piled high with the bones of elders and infants. All that power in the hands of a mortal. All that power in HER hands. She wasn’t sure she was ready, but then again, this is the kind of thing no one could ever truly be ready for. Five Immortal Hearts is a standalone Reverse Harem novel, complete at 80,000 words in a world where Dragon shifters mingle with mere mortals. Demons intrude on the peace of the world and chaos reigns.

One pumpkin spice latte later, the bickering between Opal and her cute neighbors changes into something fiery, something passionate. Fighting her feelings just might be impossible, and the only way to undo it is to figure out just what was so special about that latte. Will Opal’s heart win out, or will her head?

I'm Cursed


Kat Quinn - 2019
    Maybe it’s your dream to get tackled by a heaping helping of beefcake; hopelessly pinned beneath them, at the mercy of multiple sets of hands and lips and eyes trapping you and demanding attention. Me? I just want to make it through the day without doing too much damage. Tornados, sinkholes, lightning strikes, explosions, a drain pipe full of bees… I’ve been there though them all. But it’s not my fault!You see, I’m cursed to always be cursed. Somebody wants to get revenge on you when I’m in town? Well TOUGH LUCK because they’re getting revenge on me instead! Thank you for that weekend of all-foods-are-extra-spicy, unknown stranger. No, that’s okay, person-who-tried-to-make-someone-else-unable-to-wear-clothes-ever-again, I don’t mind a fine breeze between my lady bits. And to you, asshole casserole who tried to literally kill me last week? Well… you can get bent. That’s honestly just rude. Usually my curse comes with a side of disaster, and after really, really hurting more than one person... well... I’ve been on a never-ending, cross-country, don’t-look-back-just-keep-on-running-away tour for pretty much forever. Sure, it’s lonely, but never setting down roots means never getting caught, or killed. At least I’ve got my furry best friend Aria-don’t know what I’d do without her.Per usual, my hotel just happened to burn down this morning so it looks like I’d best get to gettin’ while the gettin’s still good, ya get it? Just one itsy-bitsy-teensie-weensie-purple-haired-and-no-bikini problem…. I may have accidentally sort of kind of tied myself to those hunks I mentioned earlier and may or may not literally be unable to go anywhere without at least one of them. Oops! And maybe I sort of kind of like them enough to not want them to get murdered in my superstorm of chaos. Double oops.Sigh. Friggin’ Tuesdays, am I right?This is a medium burn paranormal reverse harem romance with explicit scenes of violence, sex (all sex in this book is consensual), and abuse that may be triggering for some. There is mild M/M included in this book and will progress as the story does. It is the first book in a series within an overall world epic, but it does not end in a cliffhanger. Hope happily for now is your jam! Please be aware that this is recommended for readers 18+
