Vice and Void (The Savage Wolves Brotherhood Book 1)

Genre: Adult Fantasy/ Motorcycle Club Romance

✨Second chance romance
🖤Vigilante motorcycle club
✨Stolen blood magic
🖤Banished gods

✨He has her name tattooed on him

Dakota Montgomery knew she should have steered clear of The Savage Wolves Brotherhood. Now with a promising start to her career, the vow she made twelve years ago to keep her distance remains stronger than ever. But when her best friend suspiciously disappears, and her father dismisses her concerns, Dakota is forced to seek help from the vigilante motorcycle club and its second-in-command: her former flame, Callum Reynolds.

Callum Reynolds, still bearing the scars of nine wrongful years in prison, has his own reasons to assist Dakota Montgomery. A feud for territory with the club’s rival has caused a severe setback: the loss of their distillation warehouse. With Dakota’s Alchemist skills, there’s a chance to restore the stock before the Vanguard Syndicate comes to collect. In return, Callum pledges to use his network to investigate the disappearance of her best friend. However, any connection with Dakota or her Iron Guard father could jeopardize his hard-earned freedom.

The agreement with the Brotherhood thrusts Dakota into a treacherous underworld, where illicit alchemy and experimental magic fuels a dangerous game of depravity and addiction. Dakota must race against time to unravel the mystery of her best friend’s disappearance before it consumes her entirely–or worse, entangles her with Callum Reynolds and the Brotherhood for good.

Set in a modern-day world where the blood of extinct mythical creatures advances the creation of distillations, Sons of Anarchy meets occult science in this second-chance adult fantasy romance.

Sins of Light

Publication Date: September 2, 2024

Genre: NA Romantic Fantasy

Vera Valdara knows how to hide, tucked away in a chemistry career with her magic sealed up tight. The blades she carries were sharpened the day she was born, her head taught to be on a constant swivel. Because normal doesn’t exist when mercenaries hunt for your treasonous family, not when their employer has no concept of forget.

But living and breathing defense only take her so far when a birthday surprise goes horribly wrong. The walls she worked so carefully to build are torn apart, and she is thrust into a conflict that has the continent divided. Hidden factions come to light, and each of them are racing against the same deadline, chasing the same prophesied blood. But they all want differing outcomes. Spilling that fated crimson will reopen the portals to her realm, but five centuries of propaganda blur what waits on the other side – and why it was sealed to begin with.

Beakers and burners won’t solve the mysteries of the gods, but Vera’s ex and some unlikely allies might.

The countdown tolls. The lies unravel. The prophecy awaits.

Cover Reveal: A Secret Shared With Sirens – Ariella Isabella

ramblingmads

We’re so happy to present the beautiful cover for A Secret Shared with Sirens by Ariella Isabella!

A Secret Shared with Sirens

Expected Publication Date: January 16, 2025

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

– Dual POV
– Gods & Monsters
– Shadow Magic
– Underworld
– Political Intrigue
– Magical War
– Man-eating sirens

“She was the endless darkness between life and death. Bitter, and consuming. A poison I couldn’t stop drinking, and a cold lake I wanted to drown in. Their souls were one, but Isolde had taken everything Evlyn’s life had to give and sharpened it into power.”

Isolde:

Being pulled from the wreckage of an elven ship by bloodthirsty sirens, I was now surrounded by an entirely different set of creatures with claws and teeth. Achelous, the Father of Sirens and son to the blood mage Medea shines a light on Caspian’s hunt for the mythical blade, the God Killer. His finned daughters are nothing like how I had imagined them, they’re worse, and they are weary of my foul magic. Achelous is reluctant to join the war on the continent, but when the siren’s home is attacked by the Elf King, he’s Helbent on revenge.

Everyday the darkness grows louder and more corporal, and I swear that I can feel its frigid breath on my neck when it whispers its sweet promises of power and revenge. After traveling with Cadmael, the messenger god who followed me overboard and onto the Elven ship, and the siren Thelxi to the City of Souls, we find out that Silas’ depravity knows no bounds.

If we usurp the treacherous Queen Athalia, who will sit on the Arramorian throne? Who will be the voice of humans, in a war wielded by villainous gods and wicked creatures?

Death:

Watching Isolde die the first time was painful, and every other time was like ripping my heart in two. She now knew that I had taken her first life in a twisted deal with the darkness, but what she didn’t know was the depth of her attachment’s powers. This ancient, unfathomable being is manipulating her in front of my eyes and all I can do is plead with her to push it away. To not take the deal I did.

The greatest fear of a creature who’s claimed power is that someone more cunning and vicious will steal it from him, and Isolde just might be that creature, but she still doesn’t know the whole truth. Her world with Caspian is a lie, and the truth might not set her free.

Blog Tour: The Viscount and the Thief – Emma Orchard

ramblingmads


Spring, 1811…

A stranger arrives at Wyverne Hall

Sophie Delavallois is the new companion to the ageing Dowager Marchioness, but she also has another reason for coming to the infamous Wyverne mansion, one that will shake the family to their core.
Lord Drake left his childhood home many years ago, and only returns now to see his beloved grandmother. He takes little interest in the goings on of the house until the arrival of Mademoiselle Delavallois. There’s something about her that he can’t put his finger on; it’s as if he’s seen her
before, but surely, that is not possible…

Sophie is also drawn to Drake, but he is a Wyverne, and she cannot allow herself to fall for him, because her intentions towards the family are resolute – revenge. But inside the walls of Wyverne
Hall, she discovers the rumours about the family barely scratch the surface, and she can’t escape the dangerous allure of the Viscount.
Once her plans are set in motion, will he be her saviour or her ruin?

Purchase


Emma Orchard grew up in Salford and was given tickets to the grown-up library at the age of 11 because she’d read all the children’s books and the librarians were sick of the sight of her. She became obsessed with Georgette Heyer and hasn’t stopped reading her novels since. She studied English Literature at university and went on to work at Mills & Boon and behind the scenes in television and in publishing.

My thoughts: Continuing her run of feisty, smart and capable Regency heroines, Emma Orchard has written another cracker.

Sophie is out for revenge on the man that destroyed her family. Marquis Wyverne, a man who trails scandal everywhere he goes, is responsible for the deaths of her parents and beloved brother. Eight years have passed and she’s ready to enact her plan to bring down the Marquis and humiliate him. With the help of her criminal employer, Nate Smith, who has his own reasons for wanting to get one over on Wyverne.

Going undercover as the companion to the Dowager Marchioness, an elderly French woman who has no love left for her eldest son, kept hostage on his estate, will get her close to the family and able to access everything, no one really pays servants attention after all.

No one that is except the Viscount, Lord Drake, Wyverne’s eldest son, who also despises his father and stepmother. He visits only to see his grandmother, and is fascinated by her new companion. She seems incredibly familiar to him, but he can’t quite place her.

Drake’s attention could be a real problem for Sophie, he might even try to stop her…or will he?

As the two grow closer, their secrets are revealed and they join forces, even as they fall in love. But can a Viscount really love a thief?

Glorious, fun, funny and saucy. I really enjoyed this romance of revenge and finding where you belong. A delight.

The promises of prophecy press in on Veyka Pendragon from every direction. An ancient darkness. A lost queen. A heartbreaking sacrifice. To save her kingdom, she will fulfill them all. She will not falter.

But there are secrets still to be unraveled. Where is the Ethereal Queen? How will they join their power to finally banish the succubus? Those questions are easier than the ones Veyka must answer on her own. For saving her kingdom means leaving behind her mate.

Every story must end.

A Blood Oath ~ A Botched Heist ~ A Dangerous Deal with the Enemy

Everly Thorn knew she was doomed when she came down with witch fever. She’s spent the last ten years hiding her symptoms and will do anything to keep her cursed gift a secret for fear of being conscripted into the military and used as a weapon to hunt others like her.

Reeling from the death of her parents and a broken betrothal, she’s racked up a fortune in gambling debts. Her job at the Menagerie of Magical Beasts doesn’t pay enough to keep the collectors from threatening to take her home—the only thing she and her brother have left.

Silas Drake is an infamous outlaw in need of a witch with a unique set of skills and exactly the kind of man Everly has vowed to stay away from—tall, dark, and deadly. He’s determined to steal a powerful dragon relic being held in the Menagerie’s vault.

When he discovers Everly’s secret, the ruthless shadow summoner presents her with an impossible choice—swear a blood oath to him and help his crew steal the relic in exchange for paying off her debts, or be handed over to the crown.

Everly, however, is done with men who want to control her and refuses to accept her fate without a fight.

Something ancient slumbers under Las Vegas.

After Mari’s cruel father was killed by her gargoyle crush, she thought the takeover of his criminal empire would be easy, but she was wrong.

In the aftermath of the conflict, Mari and her monster boyfriends discover that the true threat has been lurking under the city all along, and that Mari has been feeding him with her magic for years. Calling out to the creature in her moment of need might have been the only way to escape, but it also might have been a mistake.

Because he says he’d burn the world for her and that rings true.

His disturbing visits happen with increasing frequency and during her most private moments with her lovers—but she can’t deny her attraction to the danger he poses, even when he threatens the city and with it the people who work for her that she’s sworn to protect.

The mysterious figure tempts her toward the darker side of desire, calling to something primal and hidden within her that she doesn’t understand. How long can she resist his tantalizing offers? More than anything, she fears starting down the same path of brutality and violence that her father once walked.

Hers to Claim is the scorching second book in a series that explores the intimate lives of the paranormal denizens of Sin City. If you enjoy spicy, fast burns with a side of action, a sassy heroine discovering her power, and partners who love to share, this book is for you.
