Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Readers call it “feral, spicy, and unforgettably bold.” For fans of morally grey monsters, slow-burn fantasy romance, and stories that subvert the fairytale script.

From Blood and Ash

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night. "You're like a sister to me." Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back. Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms. I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross. He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting. But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me. To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind. And he did. He held me like I was something fragile. Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe. Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could. So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain. Now, five years later, I'm back. Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold. And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother. It's Tristan. And he's not the guy I left behind. He's a biker. An Alpha. And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

Then one beautiful human engineer gives him a reason to stop. Rann is supposed to be hiding from enemies who would kill him if they discovered where he is.

She breaks his rules, drinks obscenely sweet coffee around delicate experiments, and flaunts her lush curves, making it almost impossible to remember she's only his irritating lab partner.  As a Beast/Blood Hybrid Kindred, Kaelus knows he'll probably never Bond a mate, so wanting Clair is pointless.

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2 by Luna Vosgrey

If you read Part One, you remember the moment. *Don't go.* Two words. Not a command. Not a king speaking to a subject. Something else — something that stopped me in the middle of a dark hallway and made me forget, for just a second, every reason I had to walk away. Part Two begins exactly there. The forbidden east wing opens. Selene's room. A silver ring left behind like a message. And the memory fragments that have been haunting me since I touched it finally begin to make sense — because I'm not just someone who smells like the Wolf King's vanished mate. I'm her *heir*. The next True Anchor in a line that stretches back further than anyone told me. When I stood up in front of the Elder Conclave and called out a lie, silver light poured from my hands. A so-called Blank, glowing in front of every pack leader in the territory. No one had anything to say after that. At first, yes. But not anymore. That's what Kael told me, his hand against my cheek, and I understood — he came looking for me with one purpose. That purpose changed. So did mine. I came here with nothing. Somewhere along the way, I started thinking about what I'd lose if I left. But there's a problem. A True Anchor whose power is drawn out before it's fully released doesn't survive. I know this now. I'm going north anyway — to find Selene, to face Vessa, and to finally answer the question I've been carrying since the night a wolf king stepped out of the dark and said he'd been searching for me. Every thread gets pulled. Every question gets its answer. And in the end, I look Kael in the eye and say the thing that matters most. *I choose you. Not because you claimed me. Because I choose you.* This was never a story about a girl who got rejected. It was always a story about a girl who finally figured out what she was made of.

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate Scars And Secrets by Ray Nhedicta

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night. "You're like a sister to me." Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back. Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms. I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross. He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting. But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me. To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind. And he did. He held me like I was something fragile. Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe. Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could. So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain. Now, five years later, I'm back. Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold. And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother. It's Tristan. And he's not the guy I left behind. He's a biker. An Alpha. And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
