Winter Wonderland

— Girl, do you understand what you’re asking for right now? — Yes, — I swallow convulsively and repeat. — I want you to sleep with me. — My tastes in sex are definitely not for a girl as gentle as you. — I’m not some gentle virgin! — I snap. — I’m a grown woman, and I know what I want. — Then let’s not waste time, grown girl. On your knees. Now… I caught my husband cheating, and he told me I was too gentle for his needs. Realizing that was the end of our relationship, I decided to give him the green light. But before that, I swore I’d get revenge and prove I’m not nearly as innocent as he thinks. And for that, the perfect choice is the broad-shouldered man who suddenly crossed my path…

They married me off to seal a royal alliance. I’m a southern princess. He’s the heir of the North—a land of frost, harsh customs, and eyes colder than winter. My new home is no palace. It’s a trap. Every step I take is bound by rules I don’t understand—and don’t dare break. My fiancé’s smile hides too much. Someone keeps trying to kill me. Over and over again. I must survive. I must obey. But I’m learning to breathe in the icy air. And my heart… it beats not for the man I was promised to, But for the one meant only to guard me. They call it an engagement. To me, it’s survival.

It was supposed to be a simple con. A white wig, blue contact lenses — and I was someone else. Someone ready to become an insufferable girl with a wild temper, all to sabotage my best friend’s date at a masquerade ball. But there was one problem: the "groom" turned out to be my boss’s son! The more I tried to play the fool, the more he seemed intrigued by me… or at least by the version of me I was pretending to be that night. The next day, my boss was suddenly hospitalized, and his responsibilities were handed over to… his son. Now he’s my new supervisor, and I’m completely under his control. Caught in the unexpected twists of fate, I unwillingly become the heroine of a story where Cinderella isn’t looking for a prince — but still can’t escape her own "magical" ending.

She traded love for a dream. Left her fiancé and burned every bridge in pursuit of fame. She became a superstar — a Muse and the driving force behind a renowned producer’s success. She got everything she ever craved… except one thing. A cruel twist of fate turned her world upside down. The past she thought was buried came knocking, and Mariya made a choice — to return to her hometown and beg forgiveness from the man she once left behind. But she never expected to find, in place of a successful family man, a reclusive loner hidden deep in the Carpathian Mountains. It seemed there was nothing left between them. The point of no return had been crossed... Or could love still find a way back?

Destiny Rowan, the dazzling pop star of the moment who conquers stages, and Kyle Gardner, the charismatic star baseball player for the Yankees, never imagined that fate would bring them together in Stowe, the small town where they grew up… and where they will discover that the past always finds a way to catch up with you. Under the spell of the longest night of the year and snow-covered landscapes, Destiny and Kyle begin to experience emotions they cannot ignore. Because in Stowe, winter not only brings cold but also ignites the spark of love.

The days leading up to the New Year are a magical time when even a simple job search can turn into a true adventure. And if she has to step into the role of a fairy and fulfill a little child’s dream, there’s every chance she might find her own love...

Burned out. Hollow. Done with it all. That’s me. Nothing sparks joy anymore, and the loneliness? It makes me want to howl at the moon. So when my best friend insists on a winter getaway to the serene Carpathian Mountains, I give in. A cozy cottage in the snow sounds like the perfect reset… until I end up in the clutches of the devil himself. And I’m not speaking metaphorically. He’s real—towering, broad-shouldered, with a beard like a stormcloud and a temper as fiery as hellfire. But beneath the growls and scowls, there’s something else. Something wild. Something… irresistible. Could this grumpy Carpathian creature be the key to healing my weary heart? Or will I become yet another lost soul in his dark forest?

Half-trained mage. Mischief-making friends. An ancient curse. And one maddeningly gorgeous dragon who thinks “ruining your day” is a love language. Add an academy with way too many rules (we’re breaking them all), magic that acts on its own whims, and friends who will save you whether you want them to or not — and you’ve got trouble brewing. Happily ever after guaranteed.

Anastasia planned a quiet pre-Christmas getaway — a break from work and a chance to prepare herself for a blind date set up by a cherished friend. But fate had other plans. When winter’s magic takes hold, nothing is quite as it seems… And sometimes, destiny whispers in the coldest winds.
