My soul is an open wound etched with scars.
Norah has spent years locking away her grief, convinced she is too broken for the mate destiny chose for her. But when the monsters that stole her past return to threaten her future, she must decide—
Will she accept the love of her fated mate…
Or lose everything she’s fought to protect?

UNBOUND – Emberleigh & Gwyneth (FF, second chance)
Originally published in a charity anthology.

She made a promise to the girl she loved.
Now fate offers one final chance to keep it.
When danger closes in and the past collides with the present, Emberleigh must choose between duty and the woman who still owns her heart.
Will she save the love she never forgot…
Or remain forever unbound?

THE TOWER – Rayne

She has one terrifying question…
How long will she be forgotten?
