Blackstar Guardians… Warriors chosen for their inherent protectiveness and deeply held honor, they are men and women who willingly fight the darkness to safeguard those they love… An Unexpected Discovery Willow Bellator traveled to the west to find out why the head of an expedition was having so many accidents. What she found was her Seraphin. A brilliant single-father with a razor-sharp mind, an irresistible smile, and a secret hope that dragons were real. A future shaped by the past. Daniel Reynolds was searching for a fabled city lost to the mountainous jungle millennia before, hoping that at least part of the stories his father told him as a child were real. He was close to finding it-he could feel it-and all his attention was solely focused on each new clue they uncovered. He never expected to find that focus completely shattered by a woman with bright hazel eyes, a surprising knowledge of ancient languages, and a belief that magic…was real. As they worked together to find the lost city and uncover the mystery of who was trying to harm Daniel, they both began to realize that what they'd found in each other was simply magic. A clean, light paranormal romance with humor, heart, and a swirl of magic. Is love at the very heart of belief? Pick up your copy today and find out!

Book Description
On a splendid August afternoon Susanna Osbourne is introduced to the most handsome man she has ever seen . . . and instantly feels the icy chill of recognition. Peter Edgeworth, Viscount Whitleaf, is utterly charming—and seemingly unaware that they have met before. With his knowing smile and seductive gaze, Peter acts the rake; but he stirs something in Susanna she has never felt before, a yearning that both frightens and dazzles her. Instantly she knows: this brash nobleman poses a threat to her heart . . . and to the secrets she guards so desperately. From the moment they meet, Peter is drawn to Susanna’s independence, dazzled by her sharp wit—he simply must have her. But the more he pursues, the more Susanna withdraws . . . until a sensual game of thrust-and-parry culminates in a glorious afternoon of passion. Now more determined than ever to keep her by his side, Peter begins to suspect that a tragic history still haunts Susanna. And as he moves closer to the truth, Peter is certain of one thing: he will defy the mysteries of her past for a future with this exquisite creature—all Susanna must do is trust him with the most precious secret of all. . . .

The first book in a seafaring fantasy trilogy that George R. R. Martin has described as “even better than the Farseer Trilogy—I didn’t think that was possible.” Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships—rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtown’s oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia. For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Althea’s young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the Vivacia, the ship is a life sentence. But the fate of the ship—and the Vestrits—may ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will. Don’t miss the magic of the Liveship Traders Trilogy: SHIP OF MAGIC • MAD SHIP • SHIP OF DESTINY
