Summary
When her father's failing health forces Dina Caliente into an arranged marriage, she expects to marry someone like Mortimer Goth — and not the elusive Count from Forgotten Hollow.
Suspicions arise and her new husband finally discloses his secret: he's a vampire masquerading within Society, and he'll need Dina's help maintaining the ruse—or they'll both face ruin.
To make matters worse, a high-ranking member of Society not only knows of her new husband's secret, but is actively hunting him!
Pressures mount on all sides, and Dina must navigate this dangerous game of secrecy. Each difficult choice will test both what she wants...and where her loyalty ultimately lies.

Summary
The history of Forgotten Hollow has been carefully safeguarded throughout the years at the Straud Mansion and Museum. However, in the fortnight before Harvest Fest, the primary curator, Paige Turner, meets a peculiar museum patron who claims the impossible: she is the adult daughter of Count Vladislaus Straud IV.
As interviews, journals, and reconstructed memories begin to surface, Paige finds herself questioning everything she once believed about the town she called home — and several secrets that could alter the legacies of both the Goth and Straud families permanently.

Summary
Humans did not need a fertility crisis to become monsters. The Sahren did.
They crossed galaxies to find the woman who had been hidden from them. The government hid her once more because spite is easier than diplomacy.
For a woman who had never felt loved or accepted, this could have been mistaken for salvation. But love, in a dying species, is not a soft thing. It arrives with intent. Her people will call her their beloved daughter, one final miracle. And they mean every word. They will also expect, as a species that has been mourning itself for centuries, that she will come to want what they want.
Some of them will not wait for her to want it.

Summary
Buzz Grunt has spent his life fighting for Simkind, but when he's assigned as bodyguard to rising politician Lola Curious — an alien hybrid — he sees it as an insult. To him, she represents everything he despises: the unnatural, the unknown, the enemy. Lola, poised and unshakable, meets his disdain with quiet strength, refusing to be rattled by his barbed words.
But forced into each other’s orbit, cracks begin to form in Buzz’s rigid beliefs. He sees the fire in her convictions, the quiet sorrow in her solitude, the warmth he’s long forgotten how to embrace. Protecting her should be just another mission, yet her presence makes him question not only his loyalties but the kind of man — and father — he’s become.
Lola, too, finds herself drawn to the man who once would’ve rather seen her dead. Beneath the soldier’s armour is a father struggling to connect with his sons, a man burdened by ghosts of wars past. But can she trust a man who spent his life hating her kind? And can Buzz let go of the past before he loses his future?
