Roulette

Your Life is the Stakes

For a criminal sentenced to immortality during his civilization’s demise, there’s no way out of the room except the game board carved into his back. His last role alive is a guardian, and he can’t trust any tomb raiders who show up. But if he wants out before he goes insane, they’re the only ones who can play.

Quench to the Hilt

To Poison is to Love; To Love is to Poison

Hippo-shifting blacksmith Zaina doesn’t expect to be any more than a side quest. But when she’s dragged into a love potion scheme to take down the city’s up-and-coming hero, quenching Kiran’s second sword to keep him alive shows both of their true colors.

Knocking a haughty human hero onto his rear has nothing to do with it. Really.

Man of Many Smiles

Into the Healing Dark

Nobles and shifter clans are gathering at the mansion of her best friend’s notorious boyfriend, strategizing around skirmishes to win the war. But Kit can’t imagine a scenario where she doesn’t wish a noble would go die alone. With wit that cuts sharper than any knife and a nose for sideswiping her inquiries into intel oblivion, the scariest nobleman of all is taking it upon himself to wedge himself into her life.

Her life, not her best friend’s.

Between a Rock and a Bar Fight

Mind the Tail

The earth dragon down the bar counter looks like he’d make a good after-work shield, when a dragon sect pesters Tessa the Bard with bad pickup lines. He also might be kind of hot. And talented with his tail.

Worth More than Gold

Tessa’s one-night stand is missing. Singing songs about his capture is what any good bard should do, music rest his soul. But if she plays the heroine in the tale for the first time, she could save Theodyne’s life—and a dragon never forgets.
