After arriving in Vincula, Aurora discovers her opportunity for retribution is closer than she thought.
Caius is the notorious Umbra King, ruler of Vincula, King of the Monsters, and the thing nightmares are made of. After being locked in his own realm for a crime he didn’t commit, his only focus has been revenge.
But when Aurora drops into his throne room, representing everything he despises, they begin a game of cat and mouse, and before long, their hatred turns into something else.
Circumstances draw them together, but revenge might tear them apart.

She begins to question her reality when her sister’s killer plagues her dreams, insisting he’s innocent. But she knows what she saw all those years ago, and she’s faced with a choice: avenge her sister, potentially destroying her life again, or let go of revenge to embrace the second chance she’s been given.
Will she be able to retrieve her memories to help her decide, or will she stay in the dark forever, dreaming of a man she should hate?

Heartsore and consumed with thoughts of her, he did the only thing he could and sent her anonymous letters and gifts…
Until he crossed the barrier into her kingdom to claim her as his own.
Amelia:

Except the letters and odd gifts kept coming. Against her better judgment, Amelia fell in love with her mysterious admirer throughout the years, certain they would never meet. But on her twenty-fifth birthday, her walk to work was interrupted by two familiar words she'd read a million times.

Fae Kings of Eden
Fantasy Romance Interconnected Standalones
These MMCs are unhinged for their mates and won't let anyone distract them from their love.
Obsessively Yours is a standalone novel in a series of interconnected standalones. While the books may contain mild spoilers for each other, the plots are not that serious, and the books can be read in any order.
Roman
At twelve years old, Roman Covington—crown prince of the tropical fae kingdom—met Violet Maekin: a girl with freckles on her nose, a razor-edged wit, and the ability to make him laugh. She made him feel normal in a world that demanded he be anything but. After just a single day and a few scribbled notes, she held his heart in her hands.
But when Roman turned thirteen, the gods granted him the name of his fated mate—Vivian. Violet’s identical twin sister.
Convinced the gods were cruel, mistaken, or both, Roman spent a decade seeking a way to shift the bond from one sister to the other. All the while, a quiet madness bloomed within him.
He watched Violet from the shadows.
Stalked her in silence.
Killed for her in the dark.
Violet
When the king and queen arrived to announce the prince’s gods-blessed mate, Violet already knew it was her.
Except it wasn’t.
Vivian got Roman, and Violet got nothing but a splintered heart and the cruel ache of pretending it didn’t break her.
But Violet and Roman’s friendship endured… until the day she realized her feelings had grown into something vast and soul-deep, far beyond the reaches of her childhood crush.
Roman and Vivian might avoid one another now, but Violet knew the gods did not make mistakes. Their indifference would turn to love while Violet’s heart would turn to ash.
She did the only thing she could to save her heart and walked away from Roman for good.

Obsessively, Yours
No one would take her from him, and if they tried, they would arrive in hell one piece at a time.
FAWN
Being half-human and half-fae had always made Fawn an outsider. Her only saving grace in the Human Kingdom was that she had no fae magic to fear. Until the day it manifested—fragile, flickering, but undeniably there. To humans, that made her dangerous, forcing her family to relocate to one of the four fae kingdoms.
Then tragedy stole everything she loved, leaving her hollow. Survival meant numbness, until Dean, the fae king of the Garden Kingdom, claimed she was his fated mate. He shattered her walls and touched the parts of her she thought were dead. He destroyed anyone who threatened her happiness—except his ex-fiancé, who reminded Fawn she was weak at every turn.
DEAN
Dean had known his mate’s name since he was thirteen. Feeling her on the other side of their bond kept him from his father’s darkness. Until he felt unimaginable agony, followed by nothing. They said she was dead, but his soul whispered otherwise, teasing him with shadows of her across a severed tie.
Duty shackled him to a political betrothal, condemning him to a life of unhappiness. While visiting a foreign kingdom, he felt her laugh from the table next to his. His obsession roared to life, more feral with each passing day. She was his, always had been. And he would carve a bloody path through anyone who threatened her.
But Fate was merciless, and to keep his mate alive, he couldn’t eliminate the one person who sought to steal him away.

Amos
Amos has spent his life under a brutal king who believes mercy is weakness and women are expendable. Beaten into submission and groomed to rule a tyrannical kingdom, the fae prince has only ever held onto one truth: one day, he will kill his father.
Priorities shift when a deathbed confession reveals that Amos has a twin sister hidden away in the Human Kingdom. Fate doesn’t wait for him to adjust to his new reality, and when Amos’ mate bond with Clover snaps into place, he has another person to protect. Realizing he can shield both his sister and mate by hiding Clover in the Human Kingdom, he convinces her to leave the fae lands under the false pretense of protecting his sister.
Amos’ lies continue to grow as he claims a false mate to appease his father and works with a rebel faction to eradicate the evil in their kingdom. But secrets never stay buried, and one surprise visit by his father unravels everything he’s worked hard to protect.
As Amos grows into something darker, more ruthless, and far more dangerous than the boy he once was, he’s forced to face the cost of the choices he made to protect the one person he loves the most.
Clover
After watching the horrific murder of her mother, Clover retreats into the safety of silence, knowing the Desert Kingdom is a place where women are owned, brutalized, and discarded. Raised in a small village, training alongside dragons and a rebel army, she is determined to make a place for herself and help bring down the monster ruling over them all.
When the Desert Prince appears, claiming they’re mates, she fears for the future she’s been working toward until Amos reveals shocking truths and asks her to protect a hidden princess in the Human Kingdom. Clover agrees, honored to be chosen and trusted with something so important, even if it means she can only know her mate through letters.
For years, their relationship builds through paper and ink, creating a bond that transcends fate. On the day Clover returns to the Desert Kingdom to take her place at his side, she watches as Amos claims another mate before the entire kingdom, humiliating and shattering her in the process.
Devastated and heartbroken, no explanation will repair what he’s broken, and she leaves the prince behind, cutting him out of her life. But years later, the boy who broke her is gone. In his place stands a ruthless king with blood on his hands and an obsession to get her back by any means possible.
