Strong Heroine

The Isle of Dreams once again opens its shores to the world’s finest warriors — for the heart of Princess Lia is at stake! Brave knights, noble lords, and even one infuriatingly self-assured foreign prince are ready to fight for her hand. But among them appears a mysterious fighter in a silver mask.

And why is it that he stands in the way of every man who dares come near Lia?

How do you piece yourself back together after betrayal and force a smile through the tears?** Life has thrown a difficult challenge my way, but I wouldn’t be myself if I couldn’t rise again. My past is gone — all that’s left is me and the present moment. A new country and a new job — that’s exactly what I need right now. And maybe… a new love? Will I be able to feel that beautiful emotion again and entrust my fragile soul to a man who drives me crazy? Only our willingness to trust each other will decide everything.

My breath is catching in my throat, and I'm afraid I'm going to faint. None of this can be true. The Hunter I met in London can't be this Hunter. But he is. It is. Hunter finally focuses his gaze on me and breaks stride. He stops and draws his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose. Surprised? “Good afternoon,” I shake his hand and really hope that my voice sounds even. "My name is Daria. Hunter," he puts his hand in mine, and it feels like time is standing still. It's a pleasure, Dasha. I think this will be an interesting task for me. I'm glad I agreed. And I guess Myron was right. I should be more interested in football. I'll try to improve.

She wasn’t searching for love—just a moment of peace in the arms of a stranger, a brief escape from the pain her husband's betrayal had left behind. He wasn’t chasing romance either. Fulfilling a promise to an old friend was all he meant to do— until he met her. The Siren. They were never meant to fall. But destiny, with its festive sense of timing, had a different idea. Because some hearts meet not by accident, but when the soul is finally ready… even if it takes one magical Christmas night to make it happen.

Florence Johnson, daughter of the Marquis of Ailesbury, was entering her third season. After two years of successful proposals and politely turning down several gentlemen, she expected this year to be no different, until she met Connor Harrison, Earl of Westmorland and future Duke of Kent. Connor had no intention of marrying and planned to attend the balls only to please his mother. Yet he encountered the sweet Lady Florence, the only woman seemingly uninterested in his fortune or charm, which wounded his pride. In trying to win her over, he realized he liked her far more than he expected, though the idea of giving up his treasured bachelorhood was harder than he imagined.

After ten years of marriage, he asked for a divorce and left her alone with their two beautiful daughters. Devastated, she will try to rediscover the woman she once was—and learn that second chances do exist. Because the first love isn’t always the true one.

She is a havror with a scarred childhood—an operative for the kingdom’s wealthiest, taking on missions that rival the impossible. She can be anyone… anyone but herself. He is the king of a realm that isn’t truly his, surrounded by enemies and unable to trust a soul. But when their paths cross—she will complete a mission for him, and he will change her fate forever.

Was their meeting predestined in the heavens? No! It was hell itself that brought its devil face-to-face with his destiny—a girl who, despite a broken heart, would conquer the predatory beast. In a world brimming with danger, is there truly a place for love? Or perhaps Stalker made a mistake when he surrendered to his feelings, forgetting that the leader of the enemy faction doesn't forgive slights. The past is already at the doorstep, and karma's a bitch—she always collects what's hers by right.
