    Summary

    It’s been a year since Caitlyn’s escape from the arcane. With Vi at her side, she’s settled neatly into her new life. But then, strange things start happening - gusts of wind that come from nowhere, brushes from unseen hands - and it becomes clear that Caitlyn’s past is not quite ready to be left behind.

    Caitlyn runs her finger over the spines of the books until it lands on the one she is looking for. She pulls it from the shelf, but the bracket holding the rest of the row in place must be loose. Another book down the line falls free from its place, its pages fluttering helplessly as it lands on the ground.

    Hauntings of Shurima, it says across the cover in a wobbly, spiky font. Then, below that, Myths, Legends, and Ghost Stories.

    Another gust of air brushes against Caitlyn’s neck. She’s still shivering in surprise when she feels a hand drop down onto her shoulder.

    Summary

    “Violet Lanes,” Caitlyn said sternly.

    “Princess?” Vi asked innocently.

    Caitlyn glared at her. “I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

    “Like you got to the bottom of the third question?”

    “How did you-”

    “I saw you asking for help with it last week.”

    “So you’re keeping tabs on me?” Caitlyn folded her arms. “That’s low. Even for you, Lanes.”

    Vi looked at her test in Caitlyn’s hand and then back at Caitlyn. “Seems to be working,” she shrugged.

    “Watch yourself,” Caitlyn said, her voice low.

    Summary

    The door swung open with such force that it slammed against the wall inside.

    Vi gasped, her heart shooting up in her throat.

    “Oh my fucking-”

    She snapped her head up, and her breath caught in her throat.

    For a split second she was convinced she was going into cardiac arrest.

    Because in front of her stood, towering in the door frame, stood the most beautiful woman Vi had ever seen.

    Her navy hair was messy, strands falling haphazardly around her pale face, the rest pulled back into a loose high ponytail. Her startingly blue eyes were widened – sporting the exact same terror that threatened to stop Vi’s heart entirely and send her into an early grave - her mouth slightly agape as she looked down at the Vi crouching on the porch, clutching her makeshift lock pick.

    She was tall - taller than Vi - and slender, with long, slim fingers.

    Long, slim fingers wrapped around a rifle.

    A rifle aimed directly at Vi’s chest.

    The woman’s jaw snapped shut and she narrowed her eyes, fingers tightening around the rifle.

    “May I ask why you’re attempting to break into my house?”

    Summary

    A wolf, silver as the frost around them, advanced on her, eyes burning blue fire.

    “Winter is here, young Kiramman,” it growled in a low voice that seemed to come from everywhere at once and struck fear into the young alpha’s heart.

    The beast drew closer, larger and more fierce than any creature Caitlyn had ever faced, and she anchored her stance into the icy ground, baring her teeth. Kirammans didn’t run. She’d die with the rest of her pack whom she’d led to their doom.

    ---

    With winter on its way and danger brewing beyond the Wall, Queen Cassandra decides to find a mate for her alpha heir Caitlyn to strengthen alliances and prepare for war. While Caitlyn has no interest in her intended match, an odd dream begins to haunt her, featuring a wolf with reddish-pink fur. When she encounters a foreign knight with the same colour hair, her interest is piqued and she takes her as her unwilling personal guard. Caught between politics, courtship and her quest of figuring out her dream, Caitlyn soon grows closer to Vi, who is unlike any omega she's ever met.

    Summary

    They were rivals in the ring, and something far messier out of it…

     

     

    Caitlyn Kiramman was born into rosettes, ribbons, and reputation—heiress to a prestigious stables in Yorkshire. Ice-cool, ruthlessly poised, and trained to sit a half-pass before she could ride a bicycle, she’s the darling of the county set.

    Vi? Vi rides like the devil’s on her heels—feral, and fearless. She doesn’t care what people think. She cares about winning. And Caitlyn.

    Once, long ago, they’d been inseparable girls on ponies, sharing jelly babies and saddle soap and secret smiles behind the tackroom door. But that was before medals, and mistakes. Before they both learned that sometimes simply loving someone isn't enough.

    Now, with the national qualifiers looming, the two women are thrown back into each other’s orbits—on horseback, in hotel rooms, and in the eye of the media storm.

     

     

    Spurred by secrets and saddled with longing, this is a slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers romance. And it’s going to get messy.

     

     

    DO NOT WORRY. THEY ARE END GAME. I ONLY DO HAPPY ENDINGS.
