Summary
Lady Sloane Mairi never entered the Quadrant or bonded a dragon. Instead, she spent the decade since the Rebellion exasperating her aristocratic guardians, who expect her to do nothing but mind her manners, smile pretty, and marry well. So when a politically-advantageous betrothal is finally secured, Sloane figures an arranged marriage will at least grant her some autonomy. After all, how hard is it to handle a husband?As it turns out, pretty damn hard, because the broad shoulders waiting at the end of the aisle belong to Colonel Dain Aetos, a jaded officer who gave everything to the war effort...and is decidedly Not Amused to find himself bringing home a tempestuous heiress.
Bound by law for the next four months, the couple merely has to endure their handfasting and they are free to part ways. But past wounds want healing, unexpected bonds demand forging, and blistering chemistry promises to set their plans aflame.
****
(Or, the arranged marriage, post-war, grumpy-gremlin AU in which Sloane is the feisty aristocrat who never went to Basgiath and Dain is the decorated war hero who is barely holding it together)

Summary
Waking up with eight years missing from your memory is unsettling… but waking up with amnesia and married to Dain Aetos is a nightmare.
Now add the fact that I can’t reach my dragon, someone wants me dead, plus Cat and Aaric are planning their wedding “just for politics,” and honestly, it’s starting to feel like Zihnal is having a very personal laugh at my expense.
Anyway—I’m Sloane Mairi, and I’m two seconds from lying face-down on the floor until further notice.

Summary
Liam’s shadow, the spoiled daughter of a fallen Tyrrish house, the cadet branded Venin behind her back. Sloane Mairi was never meant to be anyone’s weapon. But her signet is rewriting the rules of war and pulling her into orbit with the one man she swore she’d never touch.
A Wingleader built from his father’s rules and his own fear of failure. Dain Aetos was shaped by obedience. But Sloane’s defiance cracks his armor, forcing him to question who he serves and what he truly wants.
As ancient secrets come to light and cast Dain and Sloane as the centerpieces of the chessboard, a complicated bond coils between them. Not dragon-forged. Something worse. Because obsession doesn’t make good soldiers and sharp-tongued girls don’t make good secrets.

Kiara can’t stand JJ Maybank—he’s reckless, arrogant, and infuriatingly hot. But while she’s biting her tongue in person, she’s low-key falling for a stranger on a surf forum who just gets her.
JJ doesn’t know who Karma is. He just knows she’s sharp, cool, and the only person who makes him feel like more than a screw-up.
They don’t know they’re talking to each other.
But the flirting’s getting risky.
And it’s only a matter of time before everything explodes—online and off.Bookmarked by seagrasss
