  Kit sighs, shaking his head. “Don’t laugh, but... What if what Litha says is true? Our prophecy was spoken eighteen years ago, so there could easily have been a prophecy already there about the war or the witch queen helping the fae king with the anti-shifting things. What if they were working together to make the anti-power stuff not to stop the shifting or whatever, but as a way against the stuff the fae developed? What if it does the opposite thing of what we expect it to do?” He looks at Litha. “Because it’s an interesting coincidence that the queen’s blood was the only thing that let the kid dragon shift. What if that’s the way out? What if we’re the last step of something they put into action over a hundred years ago?”

  Rune’s laugh rumbles. “That’s one hell of a long-game to play.”

  But it would be worth it.

  I don’t know if I can believe it yet, because it would indeed be one hell of a long-game, but how else do all the pieces fit together?

  Maybe we can fulfil what a group of people, just like us, weren’t able to do back then. Maybe our own prophecy isn’t just something random, but the end result of some plan set up long before we existed? I’m not sure if that’s a scary or a hopeful thought...

  Because they failed, and we’re in no way strong enough to fight the fae king right now.

  While you’re waiting for the continuation of the story about Litha and her harem, here are some other stories of mine you can try out!

  Here are three choices I think you may enjoy, depending on why you love this story!

  If you like New Adult angst with broken boys and their damaged girls, try out my Skylar Heart titles, starting with Shattered:

  Shattered (Damaged Hearts 1)

  LIZZY

  I should have known he was trouble when I watched him drive his motorbike onto campus, leaving a trail of people whispering as he made his way into the Art Building.

  * * *

  Word around here is, he doesn’t date. So why do his eyes keep following me? Why does he want to talk to me?

  * * *

  Rumor has it, Hunter’s good at two things: making art, and getting into fights. I love art, but I can’t stand violence. I’ve been on the receiving end of it too many times.

  * * *

  My life is simple, it needs to be if I want to graduate and keep my eating disorder at bay… I sleep, I eat, I go to class and I definitely Do. Not. Date.

  * * *

  So why do I feel so safe in his strong arms?

  * * *

  HUNTER

  She’s like a spooked little mouse. Not my type at all. Until she looked up at me and I was caught in her azure eyes.

  * * *

  But I won’t let her get close. In the last four years, I’ve lost everyone I’ve ever loved. I will never trust anyone ever again. The second I do, I’ll find myself alone again. So, what’s the use?

  * * *

  So I create big metal installations, I go to class when I feel like it, I drink and get into fights at the bar.

  * * *

  I have to stay away from Lizzy, because my darkness will only make hers worse. I know I have to, but that isn’t what my heart wants. When I see the pain in her eyes, I can’t resist her. I want to help her, touch her…

  * * *

  Protect her.

  Shattered (Damaged Hearts 1)

  If you’re into some paranormal romances between sexy men, try out my Rosa Swann titles, starting with His to Protect:

  His to Protect (The Vampire’s Past Trilogy 1)

  No matter how much you try to leave your past behind, it doesn’t always leave you…

  * * *

  Sean

  After being hired for my dream job, I move back to the small minded town where I grew up, for the job and to finish my degree.

  I’m surrounded by my past, by old classmates, old neighbourhoods and old prejudices against gay people.

  But on my first day back, my eyes fall on something new around here. A goth guy sitting at the front of the class and I can’t keep my eyes off him.

  Even though I don’t know him, I feel like I need to protect him, no matter what.

  * * *

  Jules

  I can’t stay in the same place for too long. People start to notice that you don’t age, that you don’t get older, and add to that that the chance of vampire hunters finding you gets bigger the longer you stay…

  I know that I’m running out of time in this town. I need to move on. I just need to finish my degree and then I can leave and start over somewhere else.

  But when my housemate/blood donor turns on me and forces me to leave, I suddenly find myself asking for help from the new guy in our class.

  Leaving doesn’t look as appealing anymore…

  His to Protect (The Vampire’s Past Trilogy 1)

  If you want to try out some more girl-on-girl loving or just cute small-island romances, then my Emily Engberts titles may be more to your liking, starting with Second Chance at Christmas:

  Second Chance at Christmas (Seasons on the Island 1)

  Josie doesn’t want to spend yet another Christmas as the only single adult at the family dinner. So, instead, she books a week long holiday to her favourite island. Ready to spend it doing what she loves doing most, long walks on the beach with her dog and reading novels in front of a fire.

  What she hasn’t counted on is running into her old summer fling, the one girl she could never forget.

  * * *

  Sanne is freshly heartbroken, and instead of having to deal with her parents’ pitying looks over Christmas dinner, she decides to still go on the winter holiday she’d booked, even if it means going on her own. She can entertain herself well enough, and maybe some fresh air will clear her head of all the darkness from the last months.

  But when she sees Josie at the cafe, she can’t help how her heart beats faster or how much she wants the other woman to hold her.

  * * *

  What starts as a shared meal at a cafe, followed by the first snow of the season, could turn into much more.

  They lost their chance of being together when they spent the summers on the island as teens, but can they take it now that they’re adults?

  Can they take the chance amid knee-high snow and Christmas decorations?

  Second Chance at Christmas (Seasons on the Island 1)

  About Layla Heart

  Layla Heart loves sexy romances and has a particular soft spot for broken boys and their damaged girls. When she’s not reading or writing steamy stories, she loves to nap with her two cats, preferably under a fluffy blanket, and play videogames. She has studied literature and creative writing but often finds that the couple of classes she took on coding is much more of a help in this new adventure as an author.
