Orsina of Melidrie is a paladin of the Order of the Sun, sworn to drive out corruption and chaos wherever she finds it. She has been ordered to leave her home and travel around Vesolda in search of a great evil she is supposedly destined to destroy. But after two years of fighting monsters and demons and evil gods, she does not seem to be any closer to her goal—or ever returning home.
Aelia is the Goddess of Caprice, the personification of poor decision-making. The Order of the Sun has classified her as a chaos goddess, meaning that her worship has been outlawed. During a run-in with Orsina, she is trapped in a mortal body, rendering her unable to leave Inthya.
Aelia is found by Orsina again, but this time Orsina does not recognize her in her new body. So Aelia pretends to be a mortal woman who is fleeing an abusive family. Aelia plans to use Orsina as protection as she hunts down the magical relic that will free her from her mortal body.
As Aelia and Orsina grow closer to one another, Aelia wrestles with her own desire to tell Orsina the truth about who she is, and her fear that Orsina will turn on her if she does. But the decision might not be hers after all, because their actions have not gone unnoticed by Aelia’s siblings. Views: 627

Yet, despite his disability, he was in demand all over the state of Arkansas and beyond to solve crimes. A risky operation would require him to relearn almost everything he knew.

From a celebrated figure of the food world comes a poignant, provocative memoir about being young and gay during the 1970s punk revolution in AmericaLong before James Oseland was a judge on Top Chef Masters, he was a teenage rebel growing up in the pre–Silicon Valley, California, suburbs, yearning for a taste of something wild.

**THE VANDENBERG CLAN**
*Sinfully Addictive*
**A full-length novel >80.000 words **
“I was intrigued the moment she checked into my hotel with her badass mastiff.
I blame her mouth and that sexy gap between her teeth, producing a freaking hard-on every time she flashes me a smile.
She’s staying for four nights; enough time to plan my next move.
There’s just one problem.
She’s looking for tenderness.
And I wouldn’t recognize tenderness if it slapped me in the face.
Besides, didn’t she tell me she’d never date a hotelier for whatever unclear reason?
Yeah, she’d make an exception for me, but that’s only because she doesn’t know I have issues with sex – and with emotions for that matter.
And f*ck me, but she’s making me feel them deeply.”
*Abel Bishop*
**HANNAH, book 1**
Hannah Jensen is the youngest of six Vandenberg grandchildren and grew up in one of the Vandenberg hotels. While her older brother and some of her cousins run the family empire, Hannah wants nothing to do with the hospitality business, or their illustrious family name. When she was fourteen years old, she and her brother Tristan were kidnapped. This traumatic event defines Hannah’s future since the kidnappers were never caught, and the threat made to her. She goes to great lengths to live a life under the radar, and succeeds as an anonymous writer of romance novels.
Abel Bishop has figured it all out by the age of thirty-two. He has no clue what it means to be a part of a warm, loving family, and busted his ass to get to where he is today, but his vision to someday run a sustainable green hotel earned him the entrepreneur-of-the-year award. His only short-term goal is to operate a chain of boutique hotels.
When Hannah’s oldest cousin asks her to check out a hotel he’s interested to invest in, she doesn’t want to let him down, so steps out of her comfort zone. The last thing she expected was to get intrigued by the hotel’s hot owner, and his sexy passion for the planet. She also didn’t expect to be confronted with the ugliness of her past, but soon realizes things aren’t over yet. They’re just beginning.
Abel has no time for social activities, emotions are an unnecessary obstacle, and he has no love to give. This suits him just fine, because he focuses all his energy on his business. All he needs is a woman with the same mindset at his beck and call, but that changes the moment Hannah checks into his hotel. The sexual chemistry is immediate, and for the first time in his life, he’s genuinely interested in getting to know a woman better, but also realizes he’s plain toxic with his addictive behavior, so orders himself to back off with this charming but mysterious novelist he’s gradually falling for.
******Author’s note: The Vandenberg Clan is for 18 and older******
The seven books of the Vandenberg Clan can be read as standalone books when it comes to romance. I’m a fool for a HEA, so you won’t find any cliffhangers. However, this series is a contemporary romance, but also a bit of a whodunit. A few deeper, thrilling elements to the story, such as the kidnapping in book one, won’t be solved before book six. Also, this series is slightly erotic, but you won’t find sex in every other chapter. So, consider yourself warned! It does contain graphic sex, and occasional profanity to manage frustration, addiction, and brutal assaults. If you haven’t checked out yet, and if you enjoy reading a sexy storyline with dark elements, and don’t mind reading through seven books before everything falls into place, then kick back and relax, and let the Vandenberg men and women take you on an exiting and thrilling ride.
