It takes more than blood to be a dragon. You have to fight for everything you want in this world, then fight to keep it because there will always be someone that tries to take it away from you. In a world of nothing but predators, the only way to the top is to claw your way there. You have to be the monster other monsters fear. Ezra's spent her life in hiding, but that all comes crashing down when three men fleeing for their lives bring the very trouble her family has protected her from to her door. Fight or flight, it all comes down to one very important question. Why settle for something as mundane as simply existing when you have the potential to be so much more? Contains: *Overprotective brothers *brutal fun and games *Men that adore her *Multi POV *HFN standalone This is a humorous, HFN standalone, 18+ Reverse Harem dragon shifter romance. While the book contains copious amounts of humor, it does allude to a few situations that people may find triggering, so please read the note in the beginning of the book if you are concerned before reading. I do intend to write another book or so in this universe, but any books will be HFN standalones that can be read completely independently. This means that I will wrap things up with our main characters' story, but leave a little opening into bigger world problems that affect the characters in another book, as well as some cameos.

Rejected by their own kind for bearing the mark of the Shadow Monarch, the Iron Elves chose instead to serve with the human armies of the Calahrian Empire, hoping through their dedication and discipline to wipe out the stain of their birth. Their reputation is legendary -- until their commander, Konowa Swiftdragon, takes it upon himself -- for the best of reasons -- to assassinate the Viceroy. Court-martialled and exiled to the forest he despises, his beloved regiment disgraced, dishonoured and disbanded, Konowa finds himself suddenly recalled and ordered to re-form the Iron Elves for one last reconnaissance mission. But the new Iron Elves are not at all the same as they were before, and the mission is a suicidal one, with more at stake than Konowa could possibly have imagined. For the Shadow Monarch and her allies have harnessed destructive forces with the power to tear worlds apart -- and those who bear her mark have a destiny greater than they know. So begins an heroic journey in the company of a motley band of misfits, rebels and outcasts, with a central character whose engaging, brilliantly realised blend of cynicism, dry humour, duty and anguish make him unlike any other in fantasy fiction.

Phoenix Murray has had enough. Enough of her incompetent boss. Enough of her addict father always asking for money. Enough of the struggle to survive. So when her aunt offers her a job as a cook at the South Pole, she jumps at it. Even when she's asked to avoid casual sex to keep the peace in the tiny community. Astrophysicist Ashley Bennett can't wait for her year at the South Pole. Not only will it allow her to focus on her PhD research, it's a key step in her plan to become a Mars colonist. Avoiding the complications of dating in a society that doesn't understand asexuality is a bonus. When Phoenix and Ash meet, they can't help but push each other's buttons. Phoenix doesn't understand that her confident sexuality puts Ash on edge while Ash's curt formality triggers Phoenix's insecurities about her upbringing. But living at the bottom of the world means there's nowhere to run, and as they find common ground, their differences aren't nearly the hindrance they thought. Rising From Ash is the first book in the Forged by Fire series, a slow burn contemporary lesbian romance that shows the power of intimacy to form a new life.Note: While Rising from Ash features a character on the asexual spectrum, the story does include physically intimate scenes. However, none are gratuitous.

But now the young country of America is in turmoil—there are whisperings, then cries, of freedom from England spreading like fire, and with it is a whole new type of danger.

As war breaks out, sides must be chosen, death is at every turn, and one question forever rings in their ears: Would you risk everything to be free? As battles rage up and down the Eastern seaboard, Isabel, Curzon, and Ruth flee, separate, fight, face unparalleled heartbreak and, just like war, they must depend on their allies—and each other—if they are to survive. Which leads to a second, harrowing question: Amidst so much pain and destruction, can they even recognize who their allies are?
